Electro-Positronic Field: -ve gas binds a ball of +ve cells freed by Full Escape Energy as electron-positron pairs Spin: particles pull gas in straight/pump out spirals at 90'. Motion increases -ve gas intake, biasing spin at 90' Magnetism: spin flows straight to a neighbour. Energy conservation and field balance preservation cause external circuits Mass: inward -ve gas flow acceleration drags spheres of cells further apart inwardly but closer laterally to a packed core Gravity: like mass but slower acceleration with drag on field cells cancelled by dark energy so cells remain equidistant Dark Energy: more -ve gas near mass shrinks field, expanded by less in voids + new matter creation / black hole growth Heavy Force: mass multiplier mechanism pulls in field before annihilating all heavy composite cored particles but protons Heavy Fusion: in the Big Bang (and stars?) 2 positrons oppositely hit 1 electron (more than 2 electrons hit 1 positron) Positronium: (e_p), Muon (ep_e), Proton (pep), Neutron (pep_e), Tau (epep_e). Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau Beta- Radiation: Neutron loses the electron, Beta+ is a new positron expelled and electron retained by a proton Antimatter: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate, 3 make a muon or proton+anti muon/proton, 4 a neutron+anti neutron, 5 a tau+anti tau Lifespan: (anti) muons/taus at close to electric force speed (C) barely feel it but Heavy Force takes over when they slow Nuclear Force: neutron electrons bond to protons. Mass and magnetism compacts and strengthens the nucleus Black Hole: converts all matter to heavy force e+p crystal with a slowly annihilating centre, preventing a singularity Photon: compressed, concentrated -ve gas wave core pulls in field cells as it passes. Field warps diffract and interfere 2 Slit Experiment: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides Entanglement: field physically links objects but there could be hidden variables (ie. absolute temporal synchronisation)

10:48 As a coauthors of the "cutest applied math" paper, I'd say that the reason it took us so long to do the revision was not because "it was painful". It was quite the opposite: the most important result of the paper -- the "TPT Theorem" -- was not in the initial submission; we have stumbled upon it in the process of revision. Had it not been for the reviewer's ideas and suggestions, we would never have found this central result -- this unexpected property of 3D rotations as such, with implications far beyond the construction of trajectoids. So it took us about a year to investigate that property thoroughly enough for it to be presentable, design appropriate illustrations and animations, and describe what this property means in the context of quantum mechanics and classical optics. I know it sounds cheesy, but in this particular case the reviewers were indeed very nice and helpful. They've really made a difference.

[@PrivateSi]

I think mathematicians killed fundy physics. In this Electro-Positronic Mass-Energy EM Field model fundamental particle 'core mass' is the significant factor. A Muon is a 'heavily bonded' electron+positron (2 core particles) + non heavily bonded spare electron.. A Proton is 2 positrons heavily bonded to 1 electron (3 core particles).. a Tau is 2 positrons heavily bonded to 2 electrons (4 core particles) + non heavily bonded spare electron.. So: Predicted Tau Mass (approx.) = (Proton Mass+(Proton Mass-Muon Mass)... Tau Mass is 1776.86 MeV/c2. -- 938.27+(938.27-105.66)=1770.88... Protons don't have a spare electron while a neutron does (proton + spare electron) so we can use neutron mass instead of proton mass: 939.56+(939.56-105.66)=1773.46... The discrepancy (1776.86-1773.46=3.4) is due to core particle count effecting spare electron mass contribution, and/or neutrinos not existing, and mass detection experiment measurement variation (error margin). -- The 'Heavy Force' is part of the Strong Force. 3 electron+positron pairs form a proton + anti-proton or muon + anti-muon so a tau is the most massive independent particle (barring a black hole as a heavy electron+positron crystal). Taus and Muons slow from (near) light speed due to matter interaction then the 'mass multiplier mechanism' kicks in before the electrons and positrons annihilate, leaving the spare electron, while a proton's mass is permanent and travels with it. -- Quarks, all bosons except photons and quite possibly neutrinos DO NOT EXIST. The correct Standard Model definitely has: electrons (e) & positrons (p), muons (ep_e) & antimuons (pe_p), protons (pep) & antiprotons (epe), neutrons (pep_e) + antineutrons (epe_p), taus (epep_e) & antitaus (pepe_p) and photons. Larger e_p clusters turn into these particles + antiparticles. Black hole e_p crystals slowly squeeze electrons and positrons to annihilation at their core, back to balanced=empty field.

Chemistry is based on "fire". Either heat (ether) is released or bound. An electron is a heat vortex from matter to ether, and it tends to form electron pairs and especially "octets" with other chemical substances. An octet is a CUBE, with eight corners (Platonic solid). The position of the electrons, the place in the electron orbital, tells what its "octave" is. When the "octave" changes in a chemical reaction, a "heat quantum" is either bound or released, which is exactly what octave change means (or a jump-like transfer of an electron from one orbital to another.

Please do more content that discusses this, um, “state change” from “matter” to “energy” because that’s driving me nuts right now!

Like, the math for rogue waves in the ocean is going to turn out to explain more general stuff… I mean… the conversation about entropy and’ heat death’ implies that all matter will have to “decay?” back to energy and then dissipate …does it have to go somewhere else? 🤯👀 MAY I HAVE SOME MORE PLEASE???

In this speculative scenario, let's consider Leibniz's Monad, from the philosophical work "The Monadology", as an abstract representation of the zero-dimensional space that binds quarks together with the Strong Nuclear Force: 1) Indivisibility and Unity: Monads, as indivisible entities, mirror the nature of quarks, which are deemed elementary and indivisible particles in our theoretical context. Just as monads possess unity and indivisibility, quarks are unified in their interactions through the Strong Nuclear Force. 2) Interconnectedness: In the Monadology, monads are interconnected in a vast network. In a parallel manner, the interconnectedness of quarks through the strong force could be metaphorically represented by the interplay of monads, forming a web that holds particles together. 3) Inherent Properties: Just as monads possess inherent perceptions and appetitions, quarks could be thought of as having intrinsic properties like color charge, reflecting the inherent qualities of monads and influencing their interactions. 4) Harmony: The concept of monads contributing to universal harmony resonates with the idea that the Strong Nuclear Force maintains harmony within atomic nuclei by counteracting the electromagnetic repulsion between protons, allowing for the stability of matter. 5) Pre-established Harmony: Monads' pre-established harmony aligns with the idea that the strong force was pre-designed to ensure stable interactions among quarks, orchestrating their behavior in a way that parallels the harmony envisaged by Leibniz. 6) Non-Mechanical Interaction: Monads interact non-mechanically, mirroring the non-mechanical interactions of quarks through gluon exchange. This connection might be seen as a metaphorical reflection of the intricacies of quark-gluon dynamics. 7) Holism: The holistic perspective of monads could symbolize how quarks, like the monads' interconnections, contribute holistically to the structure and behavior of particles through the strong force interactions.

[@ready1fire1aim1]

Quantum mechanics is more compatible with Leibniz's relational view of the universe than Newton's absolute view of the universe. In Newton's absolute view, space and time are absolute and independent entities that exist on their own, independent of the objects and events that take place within them. This view implies that there is a privileged observer who can observe the universe from a neutral and objective perspective. On the other hand, Leibniz's relational view holds that space and time are not absolute, but are instead relational concepts that are defined by the relationships between objects and events in the universe. This view implies that there is no privileged observer and that observations are always made from a particular point of view. Quantum mechanics is more compatible with the relational view because it emphasizes the role of observers and the context of measurement in determining the properties of particles. In quantum mechanics, the properties of particles are not absolute, but are instead defined by their relationships with other particles and the measuring apparatus. This means that observations are always made from a particular point of view and that there is no neutral and objective perspective. Overall, quantum mechanics suggests that the universe is fundamentally relational rather than absolute, and is therefore more compatible with Leibniz's relational view than Newton's absolute view. [2D is not the center of the universe, 0D is the center of the mirror universe]: The mirror universe theory is based on the concept of parity violation, which was discovered in the 1950s. Parity violation refers to the observation that certain processes in particle physics don't behave the same way when their coordinates are reversed. This discovery led to the idea that there might be a mirror image of our universe where particles and their properties are flipped. In this mirror universe, the fundamental particles that make up matter, such as electrons, protons, and neutrinos, would have their charges reversed. For example, in our universe, electrons have a negative charge, but in the mirror universe, they might have a positive charge. Furthermore, another aspect of the mirror universe theory involves chirality, which refers to the property of particles behaving differently from their mirror images. In our universe, particles have a certain handedness or chirality, but in the mirror universe, this chirality could be reversed. What are the two kinds of truth according to Leibniz? There are two kinds of truths, those of reasoning and those of fact. Truths of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible. Truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible. What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus? Newton's calculus is about functions. Leibniz's calculus is about relations defined by constraints. In Newton's calculus, there is (what would now be called) a limit built into every operation. In Leibniz's calculus, the limit is a separate operation. What are the arguments against Leibniz? Critics of Leibniz argue that the world contains an amount of suffering too great to permit belief in philosophical optimism. The claim that we live in the best of all possible worlds drew scorn most notably from Voltaire, who lampooned it in his comic novella Candide.

There is a straight forward way of stopping hurricanes, and it generates electricity as well. It is called OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion). What you do is pump cooler water from deep in the ocean and get energy from the thermal difference with the surface water. When this is done, the water discharged is basically an average of those two temperatures. Build thousands of large plants speckled all over the Gulf of Mexico and you might be able to reduce the surface water by 5 degrees and kill the hurricanes before they reach landfall. You can also do it on the Atlantic side of the US, probably starting somewhere below Florida. The only hold up is making the large tubes required for big plants to bring up the water. There is virtually no OTEC to speak of today, but the idea has been around for 130 years or so. There are 2 very small plants operating. One is in Hawaii, the other is in Japan.

[@ryuuguu01]

The difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is north-south but east-west. In the Asia Pacific region, they are called Typhoons ( Japanese taiphoo, mandarin? Táifēng) and in North America /Europe they are called hurricanes. I am worried that we may find out what a cat 7 hurricane is like as a result of trying to stop hurricanes, so I like this research about possible side effects.

[@Bacopa68]

"Hurricane" is derived from a Taino word meaning "Storm God".

[@Jimmy-p9n]

Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone, depending upon where the storm originates in the world. In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system.

Trying to stop hurricanes from forming is a seriously bad idea. They cool the ocean. Cooling the ocean is important. If we stop one hurricane the next hurricane that will spawn will just be more powerful. I think a better idea would be to induce more frequent hurricanes that have less capacity for destruction. That will serve to cool the ocean, bring needed rain, and block sunlight from warming the ocean.

The music experiment with the reconstruction should be tried in reverse too. Ask the participants to see if they can trick the brain into hearing a particular song (they know very well) and then compare the reconstruction with the real song exerpt without telling the docs which song it was until after playing both side by side. I don't know about other people but I have been able to think of a song and have it play in my mind as if I was hearing it at a very low volume. Not to be confused with thinking about the song by controlling your memory of it, but by putting it on "play" and having your body respond to the memory hearing it as if listening to it. Let me know if you understand the difference or if you have had this experience with a song you have heard so many times that sometimes you think you are hearing it instead of remembering it. I think this is how we can use this technology to send information through "thoughts." It would take some practice (it isn't easy to purposefully get that "I can hear it" effect. But if successful, a reconstructed sound you make in your mind can be transmitted to another person through their auditory system. It might be where Elon can get the telepathy stuff.

4:18 for whoever is interested in a few more details: 1. the brain areas where primary auditory processing takes place are not that well-mapped (due to inaccessible location, and also because it's usually studied on patients that undergo other medical interventions than solely audio signals study) and there are 'secondary locations' in the brain where specific audio stimuli processing takes place (for example speech sounds and musical instruments sounds are processed in different locations) 2. the signal acquisition is only part of the challenge (meaning positioning of the probes, the gain, filtering, etc); a great challenge also is 'decoding' the super intricate signal. signal acquisition has been done before but the decoding is rather complex and it was made possible by AI. 3. the 'bad news' is a bit jumpy considering this is literally the first successful attempt, with a decoding model still in initial development...

It actually gave me more control of my time, even though commute was never an issue (10 min by tram to work). (For some reason it also fixed my sleep cycle!) I did need to learn how to bring some level of social contact back to my life; esp. in first COVID months it showed that being introvert does not make me immune to bad effects of loneliness creeping up into my brain.

But I don't need anybody to remove it. And I think it was Adam Horowitz who said ''There is no darkness, only absence of light'' on the album Check Your Head. BTW Sabine, you've got the most interesting pronunciations of some words in our fuct-up language, i.e., Parliament. I used to listen to a lot of Parly-ament Funkadelic.

[@richardfrenette6648]

Thx Sabine for the news! About controlling the hurricanes : aside from reducing their impacts on human activities, which is the source of their strengthening and occurrence in the first place, I wonder about their role in lowering the ocean water temperature and that by controlling them we might reduce this effect, increasing furthermore the water temperature. Anybody’s thoughts on this?

[@TallinuTV]

You could be right, that's exactly the kind of undesirable side effect that we need to consider!

[@Dragrath1]

Yeah the cooling effect is important for storms it should also be noted that while most hurricanes form the way described you can also get hurricanes when a well developed mesoscale convective system a well organized class of supercell complexes formed on land gets out into warm seas, these are the monstrous thunderstorm complexes that produce organized downburst events (derechos) and sometimes whip up tornadoes and notably are just about as dangerous as Hurricanes in terms of wind damage. We actually have already seen this play out due to some of the affects climate change associated with global warming producing long lasting persistent wind sheer conditions and heat domes out over the ocean which can act to weaken and or prevent hurricanes from forming as frequently as they typically do. This actually appears to be a major mechanism playing a role in making stronger tropical cyclones as because the smaller less developed storms aren't getting to form and soak up the heat from the oceans, when storms do manage to form the undergo dramatic rapid intensification with storms able to grow from tropical depressions to full fledged category 4-5 storms in a matter of hours to days usually in places where the storms don't typically form. Naturally when a storm forms this quickly in unusual places there is little no time to evacuate or prepare for the onslaught.

[@richardfrenette6648]

@@Dragrath1 thanks for your weather insights! I take from them that multiple scenarios are possible, but generally speaking warmer waters bring more fuel to storms / hurricanes. In a way, these storms also “burn” somehow this “fuel”, reducing the water temperature.

[@blindbear]

My concern about stopping a cyclone would be the fact you are stopping another planetary cooling effect. --Also wouldn't stopping a cyclone be the same as preventing a forest fire? more wood piles up and so you now have the issue of the next fire being extra bad? (in this case - the ocean surface remains warm and another cyclone that forms later will have more to work with)

It might be better to speed them up or start lots of them, to use up all the ocean surface heat and disperse it without a big storm. Controlled burns, but with water.

Curious hypothesis about cirrus clouds trapping heat, its like they onlyly looked at one side. I have no issue with the basic statement that they reflect radiation, but it works both ways and from personal observation they reduce incoming heat more than outgoing heat. It is always noticably hotter on clear days than cirrus days. latitude 47, mostly clear dry summer season, occational days with a light cirrus layer, no measurable rain for 6-8 weeks is typical, no thunderstorms, maybe 3-5 days of low stratus overcast or low cumulous.

I wonder if it's the same technique they used to recreate video from brain activity.

In other words, they wouldn't be able to recreate a Beatles song unless they had previously also observed brain activity while the subject listen to a Beatles song.

What I was thinking, is could the areas of the brain instead be stimulated to make someone hear something? Could that be used to return someone's hearing, even if at a low fidelity?

Very interesting news this week! I for one am way too cynical to believe that manufacturers of cellular devices will not create separate models to be sold in the EU and elsewhere. I suspect they will also find ways to make the cost of replacement batteries so ridiculous that many people will opt to just buy new devices, even in the EU.

[@Michael75579]

The EU and US markets are roughly the same size, so it's not as if phones which meet EU legal requirements will be an insignificant part of the phone manufacturers output and can be treated as a special case. Even if nowhere else in the world follows the EU's example, they're still looking at around 30-40% of their output being EU-legal phones, at which point they mat well decide it's cheaper and easier to just make all their phones EU-legal. Another possibility is that they may use some sort of ID chip on their batteries so that third-party batteries won't work. The courts are likely to slap this down though; HP and a few other companies tried it with ink cartridges and the courts required them to pay compensation to their customers and make available a version of the printer firmware which didn't check the ID chip.

[@davidtatro7457]

@Michael75579 l certainly hope you are correct, and the EU legislation ends up benefitting all consumers. But I'm pretty cynical at this point. Lol

[@jake_]

Creating two different models for the same phone would drastically increase the cost, which would reduce their profits, which would make Wall Street very, very sad. You don't want to make Wall Street sad. See what happens to stocks when profits go down by just 1%. By the way, Samsung Galaxy S5 nine years ago had a removable battery, IP67 and was 8mm thick. They can do it, they just don't want to.

[@Vincent_Sullivan]

For a manufacturer, this is an easily solved problem. Design one model of phone for the word market with a replaceable battery. Any models sold in the EU can have the battery door opened and the battery replaced. Any models sold elsewhere will have the battery door super-glued shut to the point where trying to open it will destroy the phone. Problem solved and profit$ preserved!

@@LunaHusky805 Well, this method at least only works when there are implanted electrodes. The difficulties of getting as detailed information about brain activity from measurements done on the scalp, well, there's some kind of like, "inverse problem" of estimating what charge configurations on the inside would lead to some outside, and, it seems like the achievable resolution is much lower (and iirc that higher resolution measurements of voltage differences on the scalp, don't increase the resolution of what can be determined about the brain activity?), but I'm not certain how much of that is due to limitations of our current technology, and how much of it is a(n essentially) fundamental limit. I'd be interested to see if anyone can come up with some air-tight arguments showing a numerical limitation on how much info about brain activity can be determined from (passive) measurements on the scalp. I would expect that there is some bound which should be possible to prove (under certain reasonable assumptions). I wouldn't be too surprised if this bound is strong enough to imply that that the reconstruction of the audio isn't achievable, but, idk.
