DONALD TRUMP WANTS A BIG PARADE

China Passes U.S. in Laser Power. 
China Passing U.S. and Europe in Giant Accelerators
Thank Heavens we've got Elon Musk.
...'Cause the Trump Administration is shooting us in our science foot

"The most powerful pulses of light the world has ever seen"
(Science Magazine)

Shanghai
5.3 million billion watts
5.3 PETAWATTS, up and running. And they are building a 100 PETAWATT model.  These super powerful, super short pulse lasers are opening vast new areas of research, and the U.S.A. is not leading the pack. Even Romania and the Czech Republic will soon zoom around us. Russia, of course is planning the Czar Bomba of lasers, a 180 PETAWATT monster. 
"Largely missing from the fray are U.S. scientists, who have fallen behind in the race to high powers." sayeth the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. And...

Big, sophisticated accelerators are coming on line in China

China Spallation Neutron Source, Dongguan, China
China is only the fourth nation to accelerate beams of heavy protons

And they are building four more major accelerators.

A major Chinese accelerator in the works
They are coordinating with British Scientists
All this will "Put China on par with or leading the world in the design, construction and exploitation of accelerator based research and applications," sayeth Brookhaven National Lab in New York.
(Remember, we've already been surpassed by the Large Hadron Collider in Europe.)

The U.S. has "plans" and some ingenious upgrades on some of our older accelerators. But as science budgets are being "re-examined" by the Trump Administration, it looks like we will just let the Chinese slide by us. But we're going to have a big, beautiful wall, and.....

Teddy and Bernie

Image
By Gosh, I Think I've Got It! Bernie caught some gaff for having a narrow focus campaign. Here's how he's going to broaden it out. IMHO. And that doesn't mean he's running for anything,  just being Bernie. * Teddy as the model for... ...The New Bernie campaign? * I was zapping through the pile of political pitches I get everyday on my old fashioned e-mail (wduffer@aol.com), zap, zap, zap... Congressmen from Colorado, Florida, Ohio... on and on, Democrats I never heard of, but I'm on "The List." I don't get irritated, I just get rid of the ads; I mean after all, they're Democrats. After I finished my zapping, I had a snack and set to recording another audiobook chapter. Then it hit me, based on one of the ads I zapped.  Here 'tis: It was when I dragged it up again that I noticed it was a Bernie ad, and I said, "That's it!" Do you how many great quotes flowed from Teddy R? About half of them ar...

Scooter Duff's Theory of Cosmology [UPDATED 5.4.24]

Image
 [Olde Duff Gets Seriouser] SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES  ARE MOSTLY PRIMORDIAL  DARK MATTER [Draft 8/19/2023] [UPDATED 5.4.24] & [9.25.24] THE BIG NEWS.. ..Is from the James Webb Space Telescope. There were furiously active galaxies very soon after the Big Bang, not that long after the first generation stars happened. This implies supermassive black holes at the centers of the new galaxies.  The question, "how did these giant black holes get there so early?" seems not quite answered by the two main contenders, "Giant dust collapse," and "Many stellar black holes consolidating." Thus I decided to toss this hat into the ring: At the big bang, and dark matter was the first matter of any kind to form (perhaps during the mysterious “inflation” event -- my personal theory).  It’s mutual gravitational attraction and lack of interaction to any electromagnetic force allowed it to exist and start to coalesce, even in the heat of the BB, long before baryonic matter ...

Bot Spotting - Seriously

Image
If you have opinions, and you have "proof," better check your sources! TWITTER IS THE BOT SWAMP Here is a detailed method of spotting bot tweets; twelve techniques: The trick in some cases is finding the non-human  number of tweets. @BlackManTrump, a hyperactive account, posted 89,944 tweets between August 28, 2016 and December 19, 2016 (see archive   here ), an average of 789 posts per day. The account  @sunneversets100 , an amplifier of pro-Kremlin messaging, was created on November 14, 2016. On August 28, 2017, it was 288 days old. In that period, it posted 203,197 tweets (again, the exact figure can be found by hovering the mouse over the “Tweets” entry). Watch for " Amplification " When a fake news story gets re-tweeted a bunch, you might think "Gee, it must be true. I see it everywhere." You are the victim of classic BIG LIE propaganda technique in the social media world. Remember, the Russians are the world leaders in weaponiz...
