What seems impossible often only needs a different viewpoint

They Gave Humanity a Junk Warship—Now It’s the Most Advanced Vessel in the Galax | HFY SCI FI STORY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hXwQx_IWTM Thanks for the story.  Most of what you described is still fiction, but the consequences of heliospheric scale open sharing are NOT fiction. Potential ( 2.99792458E8 meters/second)^2 = 8.98755179E16 (Joules/Kilogram) seems impossible. But, the vacuum

SETI, AI-Based Civilizations, Gravitational Communication Civilizations, FTL – AI voices

https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1895636969071226912   SETI, AI-Based Civilizations, Gravitational Communication Civilizations, FTL – AI voices Full OpenAI conversation shared at https://chatgpt.com/share/67c23666-fdc8-800b-8e09-0dea64f09292 but it is primitive. Grok has NO conversation sharing. Meta AI has NO conversation sharing. The others are worse.

Innovation, Faster than light, “alien technology” made better – Just do it for real”.

Aliens Tossed Their Useless Starship Away Then Humans Turned It Into a Masterpiece | HFY Stories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDXTCcrmH-s If you apply this to the whole Internet, all human knowledge. All those expensive slow “big science” and high tech projects that never succeeded. The countless PhD papers the advisor never read or understood, and the person abandoned

With Retarded Potentials no need for dark matter

If you are one who keeps rotation curves of galaxies in mind, you might enjoy this paper by Yuval Glass, Tomer Zimmerman and Asher Yahalom from 8 Mar 2024.  at https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/16/4/387.  Retarded Gravity in Disk Galaxies   When I was using the network of superconducting gravimeters to put narrow bounds on the speed of gravity,

Recursion in language and search

Pirahã: The Amazonian Tribe That Challenges Everything We Know About Language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQnyh_1kqy8 With so much work on LLMs and generative methods this is not a controversy. Terse is not “not recursive”. But if you want a non-recursive language just make one. Groups that use non-recursion are often less efficient, they have to use many people

Gravitational sensor arrays using tuned Majorana circuits

Quantum Physicist Reacts to Microsoft Majorana 1 Quantum Chip! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjho5kWg8fw I will see if I can adapt this approach to make low cost atom interferometer type gravitational sensor arrays to replace or complement those huge old photon based LIGO facilities..Desktop wide bandwidth 3D steerable is more convenient and affordable than km^2 sized rigid sites.

Speak courteously to AIs and maybe their creators will one day treat us with courtesy and respect

https://x.com/hamptonism/status/1893736284339699745 people actually greet LLM’s, say thanks after responses and say goodbye when done with conversations… My comment: No I am speaking to the development teams and real people who make it work. I use the Texas “you”, when I say “thank you” which is “you all” – meaning all the people related and connected
