Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo Jun 11 A beginning thermodynamics course is preoccupied with a fluid, modeled as a system of two independent variables. The number “two” is a choice of convenience, not a matter of principle. Here is a system of one independent variable. https://pic.x.com/0jobgnimo5 Replying to @zhigangsuo Kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, Peta, milli, micro, nano, pico, femto,

Facebook – Cutting Water with a hydrophobic knife – look at me do this and this and this

https://www.facebook.com/reel/982103566933564 You can make a holder and cutter with cameras and controls to cut smaller and smaller. What tools you use determine how small, but better than using eyes, hands and cutters that are really rather large and blunt. Perhaps laser(s). Your videos are often intriguing, but I am almost always dissatisfied because it is

Facebook – Memory storage devices. Other possibilities, and the future

https://www.facebook.com/reel/982103566933564 Facebook – Memory storage devices. Other possibilities, and the future I used every one of those in many places. But before those were vacuum tube memories, relay memories, magnetic cores, bubble memories, washing machine sized disk drives, paper tape, magnetic wires, and many others. My first computer I made out of straight pins and

Facebook – To move things and humans faster than light requires a science of collaboration at solar system scale

https://www.facebook.com/reel/2167075623691552 Facebook – To move things and humans faster than light requires a science of collaboration at solar system scale Coordinating precise time for observations on the Earth, and in the solar system, is not impossible. But it requires a set of iterative solutions, not a one-shot rule. The key is to decide on the

https://www.facebook.com/reel/509200281842798 Temple Grandin worked out many of these sorts of things for herds and groups of domesticated animals. But most any mall or architecture, any business these kinds of considerations do have relevance. On the Internet, it matters how you present things and what the experience is before you get there and as you leave

Many entities, including machines and organizations, are now “independent organisms” but not intelligent and responsible

Many entities, including machines and organizations, are now “independent organisms” but not intelligent and responsible If an AI performs an illegal act, who should be held accountable? I have to deal with every possible type of entity on the Internet, including intelligent systems made of computers, and many that are now hybrids of humans and

Training Human Perception. The chaotic and fragmented Internet, making it all accessible to all humans

Cécile Gal @CecileGal Paper out! https://nature.com/articles/s41598-024-59089-1 We show that presenting visual stimuli in random order of visibility impairs humans’ ability to recognise them. Unlike machines, where random presentation of samples helps learning (avoid overfitting), in humans randomness is detrimental. Replying to @CecileGal Training Human Perception.

Wu’s parity violation is likely magnetic for strong (MeV) and weak (KeV) isotope reactions

Zhigang Suo @zhigangsuo  The Nobel Laureate T.D. Lee died recently. @yangyang_cheng wrote about Lee’s role in lifting science in China, and in bridging China and America. These magical years of 1980s! https://npr.org/2024/09/05/nx-s1-5092630/td-lee-legacy-perspective-china-physics-yangyang-cheng Replying to @zhigangsuo and @yangyang_cheng Thanks for sharing!
