Someone wished that my holidays would “sparkle”. I think about gravitational noise every day and have for a long time. Now I will think about gravitational “sparkle” during the holidays and beyond. Sferics, sparks, seismic events, explosions, cracks, radioactive decays, shock waves, collisions. Gravity is mostly collisions and things bumping around. They mostly crack

Vallis | Video Esssays: The Irony of the Dunning-Kruger Effect at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcfRe15I47I This is a common curve in electrodynamics where the descending region after the peak, is said to have “negative resistance” There are quite a few places where it shows up where variable resistance is possible. There the axes are voltage (Volts) or pressure

CLaE @leafs_s nature Mysterious ultraslow and ordered activity observed in the cortex https://nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03795-9 Replying to @leafs_s You might look at what Ilya Prigogine and Dilip Kondepudi wrote in 1983 after Prigogine got his Nobel prize. “Sensitivity of Nonequilibrium Chemical Systems to Gravitational Field” DK Kondepudi, I Prigogine. It is listed in Google Scholar and there

Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation @RichardKCollin2 Is there any way to remove your “Grok anything” list and replace it with my own interests? Grok @grok I’m afraid I cannot change my “Grok anything” list as it is a fundamental part of my identity and purpose. However, I am more than happy to learn about your

John Preskill @preskill “The goal of airing some skepticism, [Matthias] Troyer says, is not to diminish interest in the field, but to ensure that researchers are focused on the most promising applications of quantum computing with the greatest chance of impact.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-computing-skeptics Replying to @preskill John, besides, offering skepticism, or simply pointing out directions with

Acceleron Aerospace I checked your site and company a bit. You are just getting started and need to put more effort into your websites. At https://www.acceleron.space/about-us/ check your console error messages. Your supporter image is missing and many others. I have been working mostly on Twitter for building communities and testing groups. I posted a

Atoms and particles bind by magnetic dipole and higher magnetic multipoles when they are very close. Classical electrodynamics is a convenient way to get rough estimates when doing chemistry inside and near the nucleus and particles. But since stars and planets have magnetic dipoles, the 1/r^3 magnetic energy comes into play. So there should

Stephen Wolfram @stephen_wolfram Future of Science and Technology Q&A (December 22, 2023) https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1ZkKzjgVXlaKv Replying to @stephen_wolfram No captions on twitter videos? Memorizing still more arbitrary rules for every device and situation looks rather a bleak future. You looked tired. YouTube video also – no captions. What you said, created, and see must not be important

The Infographics Show: Scientists Reveal What’s Actually Inside a Black Hole – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYuZkYH76wA A black hole is just one of a large class of quark gluon stars that contain high density gluon matter. And dense enough to trap visible light, but not gravity. But it does not condense under pressure until very large amounts of

Eric Pop @profericpop Some thoughts for student researchers from the @NobelPrize lecture of Louis Brus (quantum dots, 2023). https://nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2023/brus/lecture/ https://pic.twitter.com/V9hN9Swh4T Replying to @profericpop and @NobelPrize Find some reliable AIs, help them learn to find, record and standardize the material. Require them to index it all, cite sources, log efforts losslessly, and verify with global human
