Scientific Research in Physics/QM as a hobby.
Enjoy DIY HI projects.
Ahhhhh… @MATH….
If I were to choose a whole number. Let’s pick the number 2. Then ask AI to create and display all equations where the answer is the number two. How many equations would @AI create?
Rather than make you go through the exercise and create all possible equations, I will just answer it now.
The answer is: There are an infinite number of equations that when calculated to completion will give the result “2”.
Now, let us discuss quantization as it has been used in Quantum Mechanics (QM). Those who are obsessed with using QM and quantization to describe what is going on within the atom are using one of multiple mathematical methods which can be used to describe experimental results of beating particles together and interpreting hits on a piece of material stretched out to catch hits and show them as data points on a chart with specific units.
They are so caught up in defending QM that they are blind to the fact that mathematics is fluid and there are many ways to interpret and create equations to analyze the results. OR to find a specific result one is looking for in their work to justify their livelihoods.
Not to mention those who are obsessed with power and control and will do anything to disparage anyone else who might disagree. Look at what happened to Schrödinger when he suggested Classical Mechanics could be used instead of quantization.
What did the powers that be in QM do? Well, one scientist in the power circle said, “If we cannot disprove him, we should ignore him.” (Paraphrased).
The point is, we are losing valuable time fighting over semantics. Big egos who thrive on being the top dog always slow down the progress of scientific achievements.
(Just because I have stairs in my house instead of a slide, that doesn’t mean that my home is ruled by quantum mechanics)
I have read multiple biographies about scientists and power figures in history, as well as in our time. Most have a craving and will purposefully harm someone else who disagrees with them. No matter how wrong their own beliefs might be. And some will just steal the idea and pretend it is their own.
Well, if you step off the Merry-Go-Round and observe as someone who has no interest in becoming a part of the machine, you can see how their obsessions with a particular viewpoint prevent them from seeing other possibilities. So you must appeal to them in alternative ways.
Part of my mission is to inspire through prodding, providing alternative possibilities and touching that sore spot that will drive an obsessed party to be the first to do something. The ones who have to be “God” in their line of work.
I did so last year and several times over the last few years. From 2014 on. Seeding ideas in the background. On various physics forums here and there. Wrote to government science folks. Even discussed it on a commercial airline flight when I was placed next to someone in whose family was in the oil and gas industry from an oil rich nation on the other side of the world. (They stand to lose the most when we do get the answer, but gas prices did go down soon after. A bit risky as I have no one to protect me. But the end justifies the means.)
And look at who received the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025. 🤣 They continue to double down on their obsession. In the neighborhood where I came from, my neighbors would say, “They have their heads so far up their asses…” But I prefer a slightly different approach. Because the future of humanity is truly at stake.
So, how many equations are there that fit a preconceived narrative related to how the atom is held together?
IF THEY KNEW! I wouldn’t be needed.
WE CAN DO BETTER!

Have been researching Ancient Egypt for my novel. Want to stay true to the history, while also creating relatable fictional characters who embody the spirit of the past; the good and the bad. Showing that we haven’t really changed much as a species over all these years. But also bringing people into a wondrous time in human history. One that still captures the hearts of people worldwide.
During my research I came across a reference to a book which had an entire chapter/book dedicated to Ancient Egypt. This chapter/book was written sometime in the mid 450 BC period. Written by Herodotus. He is credited with being the Father of History. I would dispute that because even in Ancient Egypt there were historians.
Purchased a couple of translations of the book and just started with the first chapter to see more about who this Herodotus was. Oh my, what a character. His writing is so relatable.
I learned very quickly that people haven’t changed at all. Not that I expected them to do so. But it is abundantly clear reading the first few pages.
Apparently, the Phoenicians and the Greeks started things off in Herodotus tellings, by stealing each other’s princesses. Each getting angry because each side wouldn’t compensate the other or give back the princesses. But the quote written by the Persians about the whole thing demonstrated how little the women mattered to them then. Not much has changed there either.
Sobering. *sigh*
Men haven’t changed at all. Women still let them dominate them and feel a necessity to look good for them. And men are still bringing us ever closer to the destruction of our planet. Women and men making excuses for killing babies. As if we can go on this way forever.
Thousand of years have gone by and we are still the same now as we were then. Except now, we have the ability to kill millions within minutes. Yet, the men are still seeing fighting as the way to settle things. With women still trying to look good for them. (Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but the people still like to follow these freakish zombies)
There is a way to help us evolve. To save ourselves from ourselves. One doesn’t need to go far to figure out what I am referring to about how we can get there from here.
I will continue to read this book because it will be interesting what someone closer to the time when Ancient Egypt was still pharaonic will say about that history. As most of what I have read has been written by Egyptologists.

Snell’s Law, also known as the Snell-Descartes law, dictates how light bends when crossing the boundary between two transparent mediums with different refractive indices.
I was discussing this very same topic the other day when getting a follow up breast exam due to lumps being found in both of the old child feeders. Sorry to say to those who find me obnoxious, I am fine. Nothing to see there.
The tech who was doing the ultrasound had the beautiful sound of birdsong playing in the background. There is nothing I love more than waking up before sunrise and listening to the birds.
We discussed why the sound was so relaxing, and it was pretty much in line with what @Rainmaker1973 posted.
That being said, if you are playing Sniper Elite 4 and wear headphones, while in the forest in the viaduct mission, there are birds chirping away as you kill the evil Nazis. I don’t think the game developers got the memo. But still, is one of my favorite missions as a result of the beautiful forests and bird song.
Did you know we find birdsong relaxing because our brains associate it with safety since birds stop singing when predators are near?
On top of this, their songs are particularly pleasant to your ear also because of the striking similarities between theirs and human music.
Frankly, we are all DIFFERENTLY-ABLED!
So instead of thinking of someone who cannot do the things you can do as handicapped or disabled, think of them as being differently-abled.
Because, most of you are mentally inept unpleasant morons. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what title or whether you like to use power to harm others. Whether you spend your days getting face lifts, what your religion might be or your politics, etc.
To me, most of you are just insecure unthinking idiots who follow dogma or seek to be worshipped by using power and control to get people to have to bow down to you. 🤮
So perhaps you should just accept that you aren’t a God and be humble before those who have greater challenges than you and maybe even give them a hand now and then. As no human is an island and we are stuck with each other, even if you are destroying the world we live on with your selfish bullshit.
As I am being patient with you all even though you are all so annoying and self absorbed.
Have a nice day.
Remember we need to LEARN TO CONTROL ATOMIC STRUCTURE so we can no longer be dependent on natural resources. So you fucking morons can evolve and catch up to me.
By the way, we are all going to die. That is the one thing we ALL have in common. Even you @LarryEllison
Until we figure out how to control atomic structure, which will lead to us to eventually be able to hold the human genome at a specific age and regenerate cells. But too late for me and you, but perhaps your children or grandchildren. Which means no death tax…. 😂

“I am not a psychopath. I am a high functioning sociopath,” said Sherlock Holmes (from series called Sherlock featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as SH). @BBCSherlock@BBC
He was Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist whose quiet brilliance in the 1920s forever altered our understanding of the quantum world.
In 1924, Bose, then a 30-year-old professor in British India, sent a groundbreaking manuscript directly to Albert Einstein. The paper offered a novel, more elegant derivation of Planck's law for blackbody radiation by treating light quanta (photons) as indistinguishable particles—a radical departure from classical statistical methods. Impressed by its insight, Einstein personally translated the work into German and facilitated its publication in the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik.
This exchange sparked a brief but profound collaboration. Einstein extended Bose's statistical approach to material atoms, predicting a bizarre new state of matter at ultra-low temperatures: what we now call a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where particles behave as a single quantum wave. Bose's original framework became known as Bose-Einstein statistics, and the class of particles that obey it—those with integer spin, including photons, gluons, W and Z bosons, and the Higgs boson—was later named bosons in his honor by Paul Dirac.
Unlike fermions (matter particles like electrons), which obey the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot occupy the same quantum state, bosons can pile into identical states en masse. This "social" behavior underpins extraordinary macroscopic phenomena: the coherent light of lasers, the zero-resistance flow in superconductors, and the collective quantum coherence in BECs.
Despite the monumental impact—his statistics describe half of all fundamental particles and enabled key advances in quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and particle physics—Bose remained remarkably unassuming. He continued teaching at universities in Dhaka and Calcutta (now Kolkata), mentored students, pursued ideas in X-ray crystallography, unified field theory, and other areas, and never sought the spotlight. Nominated several times for the Nobel Prize (notably for Bose-Einstein statistics and his later work), he was never awarded it, and his name rarely appears in popular accounts of 20th-century physics.
There's a poignant humility in his story: a man whose legacy literally names one of the two fundamental families of particles in the universe, yet whose personal fame never matched the scale of his contribution. Bose reminds us that true influence often arrives without fanfare. Some breakthroughs echo through textbooks and technologies, while their creators work in the background, content to let the universe carry their ideas forward—even if history's spotlight rarely finds them.

Two words that were used to describe Albert Einstein while he was at Zurich Polytechnic, ZP.
(Ha Ha… You thought I was going to say me. Not everything is about me.)
As a result of Albert’s outward display of distaste for authority, he couldn’t find a university related job for months after attending university. Einstein thought that most of those in science and culture in general were worthless because they followed blindly, instead of thinking for themselves. So, you can see why he was shunned on the University level. They do have a tendency to think rather highly of themselves and to stroke each other’s…
Anyhoo…
It wasn’t until his good friend Marcel Grossman helped him get a job as a Patent Clerk that he was finally able to make a living wage. His job there also allowed him to write four legendary papers. Two of which would change Physics forever.
He also was alleged to have had a child out of wedlock with a fellow student at Zurich Polytechnic. A child no one knew about until some letters were found years after his death. Letters supposed to have been written by Einstein and his Dolly, the mother of the little girl born in hiding.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
Walter Isaacson (@walterIsaacson), the author brought the otherworldly Einstein down to earth. As he has a way of doing with all the subjects of biographies he has written. Whether it be @SteveJobs (RIP), @elonmusk or #benjaminfranklin, Walter has a way of describing the lives of his biographies in such a way that they seem relatable and human, while sharing the detailed trials and tribulations that shaped their characters. Walter helps you see how it is they became the people we know from legend.
I highly recommend Walter’s biographies, although I have not read them all. I have another in my library. “The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing and the Future of the Human Race” I have not yet read. Looking forward to that one.
But first, I am listening to the audiobook on Einstein again. This was the book that triggered my realization that we could Learn to Control Atomic Structure with the data and knowledge we have now! So, just wanted to go through it again. (I had also been studying Quantum Mechanics and the history of the development of the Atomic Bomb as well). Will get back to you all after I have read the Jennifer Doudna story.
I could not recommend the Einstein biography any higher. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand what is written. Although an introductory level physics class and decent understanding of math could be helpful. You can still glean lots of information about Einstein’s story without even a firm grasp of either.
Go on, take the plunge. If you are busy, you could always listen to the audiobook while working out, mowing the lawn, riding your unicycle…
I always buy both a digital copy and the audiobook. And sometimes also the hard cover, for those extra special books. Of which, this is one.
Enjoy!
I have always hated Charles. What a douche he is. And how stupid he was to hurt Diana. She made him look good.
First, he was a coward for not standing up to his Mummy and insisting he be allowed to be king and marry that other woman. I mean, who else was going to be king? ANDREW?
Second, when he did decide to marry Diana, he should have kept his pecker in his pants except for his wife. Again, he is a coward and a philanderer. He makes me nauseous.
There is nothing more important to show your children and those in your nation who you represent, than staying committed to the person you married.
It is NOT a dog and pony show. If you choose to take the job, you swallow your pride and do it.
I can see why his Mummy held on to life as long as she could.
I am not a huge fan of William either. After the way he treated his brother.
Harumph….
I was coming of age when the Diana wedding happened. And have always respected her for how she handled that COWARD CHARLES.
Long live Prince Harry and Meghan.
He should practice with Justin Rose, because Rosey is a great example to follow as far as work out regimen and longevity go.
There is plenty of time for Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas to regain their magical competition for wins, like they did when they first started out.
So I can say, once again, (in my deepest voice)
“Spieeeeeeeeeeth….”
“JTeeeeeeeeee” @justinthomas34
Doesn’t that just give you hope for homely old women? (Of which I am one.)
“Mommy, what is Grandma cooking in out in the garage?”
“Well, it ain’t chocolate chip cookies. That’s for sure.”
“Why is Grandma glowing?…”

In July 1898, Marie Skłodowska Curie and Pierre Curie published work where they mentioned the term radioactivity for the first time.
During that year, the two Nobel Prize laureates discovered two new elements: polonium and radium.

Some kinds of static electricity are easy to understand. Rub a balloon against your hair, and negative charges will accumulate on the rubber because it has a greater affinity for holding charges. Your hair, now positively charged, will be attracted to the balloon. And because like charges repel, strands of your hair will splay out from each other.
But identical materials with identical affinities can also exchange charges, seemingly without rhyme or reason. Particles in volcanic ash plumes somehow build up enough charge to trigger lightning; dust in grain silos can spark and explode.
Researchers say they have finally found the culprit: trace amounts of surface contamination by carbon-bearing molecules from the air.

Worst television coverage on any tournament this year. Terrible communication about coverage changes too on PGA Tour app.
Still, some unforgettable golf. And Rory provided the best comment of a historically fabulous golfer in the history of golf. One of the greatest golfers in the world.
What did he say?
I challenge you to find the answer yourself. Not everything I say here is free. Sometimes you have to do the work…
All I can think of when looking at this is all the wise cracks these folks had to endure. Back when you could still make wise cracks without being sent to HR.
In NASA's earliest days, legendary engineer Max Faget and others at NASA designed a way to protect astronauts from the vibrations and extreme G-forces of spaceflight. Strong and lightweight fiberglass couches were molded from plaster casts contoured to each specific man.
In July 1959, test pilots rode a centrifuge while strapped into these custom-molded couches, successfully enduring accelerations up to 20 Gs.
The couches are similar to those made for each of the Mercury Seven astronauts and fitted into the Mercury spacecraft.
Science has confirmed that a weekend spent forest bathing can increase the activity and number of disease fighting cells in the immune system by as much as 80 percent with benefits that can last for an entire month.
The challenge is significant. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the average American spends approximately 90 percent of their life indoors a habit that contributes to growing health problems.
In our screen filled and high stress world a centuries old Japanese practice supported by rigorous modern research offers a simple and effective natural solution. For more than two decades Dr. Qing Li an immunologist at Nippon Medical School has studied Shinrin yoku also known as forest bathing. His work has translated the calming experience of being in nature into measurable biological effects.
Dr. Li has demonstrated that trees release phytoncides antimicrobial volatile organic compounds that form part of the forests natural defense system. When people inhale these compounds during walks in the forest the chemicals enter the bloodstream. This process reduces stress hormones and helps shift the body from a chronic fight or flight state into a restorative mode.
The physiological benefits are both powerful and remarkably long lasting. Dr. Lis research shows that exposure to phytoncides significantly boosts the number and activity of natural killer cells. These white blood cells are essential for destroying virus infected cells and tumor cells. A three day two night forest bathing trip can increase natural killer cell activity by up to 80 percent. These protective effects do not disappear immediately upon returning to daily life but can persist for up to a month.
This evidence makes a strong scientific case for incorporating regular time in nature as an important element of preventive health care.

The world as we know it will indeed end due to nuclear holocaust, although, likely sooner, unless:
We LEARN to CONTROL ATOMIC STRUCTURE. So we can end our dependence on natural resources and evolve.
If we do learn to control atomic structure, Newton would not be completely wrong. The earth as we know it would no longer be the same. Because humans will make what they need from that which they do not. Garbage dumps would be the most valuable places for a while. And then we just recycle everything, including our own poo.
And technically, we should be able to leave the earth in 2060 and make what we need from any planet, if we do start immediately.
While some see it as a harbinger of doom, I see it a chance for us to take the next step in our evolution. As survival instinct due to us fighting over resources and land is what causes most of our problems as the DNA making us violent barbarians is passed down by psychos who lust after power and control.
Then, my friends, the MEEK really shall inherit the earth. And Isaac saw that possibility, along with the timing of our demise, should we not find a way to evolve.
