Can cars run on water?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
We all gain a naive understanding of the chemistry of water when we first study chemistry. We all discover the massive amount of evs released to form the water bounds. Of course our thinking stops there and we tend then to ignore what others say. Except any and all soluble acids happily produce hydroxl ions while taking out a hydrogen atom none too tightly bound. Obviously a lot of hydrogen exchange going on here. Now add a catylist and we have production with direction. It is no longer so obvious that water is unable to provide hydrogen as a source of energy when it is so ...
Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl’s book review of Morano’s Green Fraud: ‘Amazing…entertained…sourced in a perfectionist way’
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Exceptional review regarding the inherant quality of Moranos work. Of course Morano is a master debater who overwelms opponents. Of course, the facts have always been on his side. The Global warming gag has always been in pursuit of a political resolution that sees the emergence of authoratarian ideologues. The faux science was merely a foil. Thus easy enough to beat up. but like all good propagandists, you merely repeat the lie. It has actually caused real damage and the faux pandemic is yet another version. *Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl’s book review of Morano’s Green Fraud: ...
Escaping Technology Stagnation and Reaching True Technology Acceleration
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
We can see future targets and we have spending rampup been pursued. I must suggest that their emergence is been accellerated by real knowledge of future success. The reason i say this is that the time cycle to capitalization has massively collapsed and human decission making has not naturally collapsed at all. Why is Tesla going to be successful and not financially collapsed? No track record is good enough to rush investment like this. .Do not be concerned. Current politcal issues will resolve and we are then full press into the future. *Escaping Technology Stagnation and ...
Clayton Mack encountered aquatic Dinosaur
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I have also read his other book as well and am now working through this later work in which he is much braver in covering odd occurences. It is clear that he did encounter a aquatic dinosaur. Certainly that is the only explanation he had at the time. It was a misty morning, but they saw a typical pleiosaur head and neck stick up several feet out of the water. They fired on it and it immediately dived and went down. They then proceeded over yhe spot. Looking down through the water they saw the large pleiosaur shape sitting still on the bottom. It then took off. No mistakin...

Does China Really Want a Two-Seater Version of Their J-20 Stealth Fighter?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Chinese Air Force, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC196FE16D00&share=true] An extra human in the warplane could help the fighter do even more. *Key point: *China no doubt wants AI to assist its human pilots. However, there are some things only a real human can do. Is there a chance that a two-seat 5th-Generation Stealth fighter might bring some additional advantages to multi-role air combat? The answer to this seemingly complex question might, at least at the moment, seem somewhat vague. One answer may be as a...

Here is how it could be used with UAVs. Hypersonic attack drones will definitely exist, the question simply is when.
