That might explain the zuckerberg skin complexion. Facebook was just him cataloging the local bloodbank.

Thank you.

Brian Higgins had an unbelievably good 2023.

Would you care to list them so the conversation can be more complete?

My parents are around 44 deg lat and their tomatoes do very well. It seems like something else must be limiting your success.

I usually look up the number for something like an ftc or fbi tipline if a website absolutely forces putting in personal info.

I hear the garbage truck brakes way before I hear the engine.

Electric vehicles do put less load on the brakes thanks to regenerative charging. I bet the trucks will still be plenty loud in other ways as well. The lifting and compaction mechanisms alone can be heard a ways away.

Lens distortion or something idk.

Not Mr. Fusion, but a modest industrial facility that could fit in an industrial park rather than the very large ITER which has its own complex. The ARC reactor design from commonwealth fusion is expected to have a major radius of 3.3m whereas ITER has a major radius of 6.2m. That might not sound like a big difference, but material costs and supporting systems cost roughly scale with volume which is a factor of 8 difference.

Here’s an old, but good talk on the motivation for this proof of concept. I linked the most relevant time, but the entire presentation is worth watching if you find it interesting.

Personally, I find this success to be way more exciting than the NIF breakeven shots. Those were neat milestones, but don’t get us closer to a feasible commercial design. This REBCO magnet demonstration makes commercial fusion a possibility in a timescale that could matter.

20 Kelvin, which still requires substantial cryogenic cooling systems but is much easier to maintain than 4 Kelvin liquid helium.

People have very limited bandwidth. You can only dedicate so much energy to care about things at a given moment. Bedbugs aren’t a huge threat society wide, but individually they’re devastating. So if you spend a bunch of personal energy and effort on making sure you don’t bring bed bugs into your home, what things are you not paying attention to that normally would be a big deal?

Viral outrage campaigns don’t need to be devastating on their own. Their purpose is to keep people distracted, tired, and apathetic.

The fact that you think this is an embarrassingly unsuccessful endeavor implies to me that they are doing a good job obscuring their actual objectives.

Anti hydrogen has been produced and detected in experiments. The energy transition levels are identical to normal hydrogen.

In a newtonian view, two particles orbit the center of mass of the combined system. Since protons are 1836 times as massive as electrons, the “orbit” center would be very close to the proton. So it’s a bit like asking what would happen if we swapped the earth and sun. The orbits would change position, but the earth would still orbit the shared center inside the sun at the same orbital radius. So it would look essentially the same as it is currently, just with the center of the system having been shifted by one au.

Clearly I’ve ignored all of quantum mechanics in this description, but the conclusion is the same. The nucleus and electron both have wavefunctions, but the mass difference makes the spread of the nucleus negligibly small compared to electron orbits. Swapping initial positions and momentum doesn’t really change the properties of the system.

Yes, the maximum energy that a syncrotron can accelerate a beam to is determined by its size and field strength. There are multiple rings that are used to bring beams up in energy levels before feeding to the next. Each ring has many bunches of particles circulating. So each bunch has to be going close to the same speed. You wouldn’t want to do all the accelerating in one ring because it wouldn’t allow nearly continuous operation.

As for two intersecting points, the collisions involve colliding two beams. So there’s two different kicking/injecting points one for each direction.

Yeah, I have a hard time getting excited about a moderately more capable synchrotron and I have a Physics background. I’m not opposed to a larger synchroton, but I’m not confident that they’ll find anything particularly interesting like I was with the LHC.

Personally, I’d like to see a bigger effort to develop high energy plasma Wakefield accelerators. I think they have the potential to work with a wider variety of particles and shouldn’t need months of pump down and cooling after any interruption. Plus minitiaturization of plasma accelerators have the potential to be disruptive for medical applications.

I do wonder if Biden should be drawing some lines that would trigger embargoes. I agree that there’s no winning, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be pushing toward minimizing bloodshed. Right now, we can’t trust Israel to have restraint in how they root out hamas.
