Twitter about continuous global Big G experiments to contrain JPL solar system ephemeris

Vector sun moon tidal signal from gravimeter arrays is pure Newtonian GMm/r2. Sample at Msps Gsps for G variations by frequency at continuous global Big G stations to constrain sun moon earth masses, omegaE, JPL ephemeris, gravitational time dilation. https://hackaday.io/project/164550/gallery#21f5826751cf7b199a02263bd201e9bb You might be interested in my project on ResearchGate. I added an update today about

Twitter to DODSTEM about extending STEM to ISTEM – Internet Science Technology Engineering Mathematics

@DoDstem Recommend you extend STEM to at least STEMCC – Algorithms, Communication. Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics all depend most critically on use of Computers. As well as global Human-Computer, Human-Human and Computer-Computer data flows on the Internet. @DoDstem Add Internet to STEM to make ISTEM. In 24 years I found all Science Technology Engineering Mathematics

Electron Affinity, open sites, and new more precise sub electron volt cameras and sensors

Measurement of the electron affinity of lead and its isotope shifts at https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.106.L010801 Physical Review A @PhysRevA 3h Letter: Measurement of the electron affinity of lead and its isotope shifts @DenisonU @vassalloef https://go.aps.org/3BkBPpl https://pic.twitter.com/zVlUBLp75Z Replying to @PhysRevA @DenisonU and @vassalloef Looks like a lovely and precise study. I have been following “electron affinity” for years.

Twitter APS pay per view

The Internet, even on Twitter, is for everyone. Every person in the world should have access to global tools, data, models. Always include the open link. If APS cannot stay in business otherwise, tell me why.   Nice paper, needs shared symbolic simulator. https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.13817 Collective effects on the performance and stability of quantum heat engines

Twitter to yet another open access group about the need for a live, open, complete, collaborative map

Replying to @APSphysics @IOPPublishing and 3 others Your groups’ policies and ideas are mostly correct, but your Internet footprint and methods are a mess. “open access” has 524 Million entry points today on Google search. And your group is just adding, badly, to that mess. One live, open, complete, collaborative map would help.

Twitter to Sony about lossless formats for global sharing of science data

@Sony Sony donated an Alpha 7S for a live webcam at Maunakea Subaru Telescope. Could Sony also help promote better Internet standards for lossless video? Look at these poor star pixels. Live stars need lossless formats. Global sharing for science data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH90mZnmgD4  

Posted on my Facebook about Olbers paradox and an infinite universe

You might never have heard of “Olber’s paradox”, but it is one of those perennial provacative items that gets served with most introduction to physics and astronophysics classes. For the lecturer to strut their stuff and appear learned. Olber is Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers (1758-1840) and the link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox I like to watch the night

Twitter about lack of teachers for Texas – Lifetime learning for everyone is possible and desireable

Texas Tribune @TexasTribune 13h Texas has had a teacher shortage for years. However, a number of recent issues have placed teachers at the front lines — and are pushing them to their limits and out of the job. Here’s what you need to know: https://bit.ly/3J8OUEa Replying to @TexasTribune Your 2020 Texas pop is 29.6 M.
