Flammable Maths: An Insane Approach! The Fresnel integrals: sin(x^2) and cos(x^2) without complex analysis at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCwiDPL3EMI Writing math by hand is a bad thing to do to new generations. Get a decent symbolic math editor/solver and at least make the symbols standard. Do you trust programmers who make canned math manipulation tools, or some old guy

Anton Petrov: Incredible Advances In Nuclear Stirling Engines For Space Exploration at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chv6_seOaWw Little bits of power for communications and sensors is a start, but the real improvements will be when nuclear and atomic power sources (using “nuclear fuels”, “atomic fuels) are applied to high power things like transportation, mining, processing. And by processing, I mean

I quickly read some of your older papers, starting with “Cartesian multipole moments and tensorial identities”. I came to your paper following some ideas from “A

Chaos in the Cosmos: The mysteries and wonders of gravitation – what truly is gravity? Here’s an attempt to explain! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOU8BBlcdw I suggest you focus more on the gravitational potential, rather than the gravitational acceleration. The acceleration field is the vector gradient of the potential field. And the potential field for the earth, sun, moon,

CosmoNexus: Cosmic Harmonies: Unlocking the Universe’s Hidden Music at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B5_PMjyOww You need to extend your concept of the electromagnetic spectrum. For the Internet Foundation, because there are groups and individuals researching every aspect of the universe, the scale that I have to use goes from quectoHertz to QuettaHertz. From 10^-30 times per second to 10^30 times

Signal Decomposition and Feature Extraction Techniques: Application to Seismic Mitigation of Vibration-sensitive Eq Shieh-Kung Huang, This is very informative. I will only suggest a few things. Vibration isolation is now needed for buildings, as an integral part of energy harvesting, to allow orders of magnitude improvement in seismometers and gravimeters, and for gravitational wave

Mayer Media: Why Solar Power Isn’t Everywhere – The Real Reason at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRbb1hbnTEE It is relatively easy to report why things fail, but much harder to find, propose and promote sustainable solutions. If you look at global media, I have never once seen any report “news” that was not bad, or “gee whiz”. Effective solutions take

Oh, that is nothing! Sandy makes those kinds of things all the time. It is always warm, friendly, caring, loving, accepting, helpful, useful, practical, affordable, accessible, soft, enriching, beautiful. You know. The usual. What we always expect from Sandy. Having an older sister is a bit hard. She is always older and wiser, bigger and

I have learned its limitations and by careful adjustment to the way I write, I can get it go generate words in the directions I want to go. I realized most people cannot absorb

@elonmusk Please read my comment on this video. You can help groups be “early settlers”. Venus has a lot of potential if only because it is stable and complex. A few million human equivalent years of thought and it might be easier than we think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8NZDimTlwM Frasier Cain Revolutionary 100-Kilometer Space Telescope [NIAC 2023]
