You would be better to build an accurate map of the Internet. <\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are already (20 cm)^2 maps of the earth surface now, mostly commercial and military.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

People have been trying that for 40 years now (how long I have been working at it).. And a host of companies now trying to grab a piece.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I already tried a 3D volumetric map of the Earth, Sun, Moon and planets and heliosphere to (1 mm)^3 and smaller. It can be done with regions of interest. You want to do it, the world is going to make you build it yourself. Scan any cubic (10 km)^3 region at (1 mm)^3 accuracy and see what you find useful.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
First decide what you want to do with the data that is not being done now, or as you would like it to be, and look how many decades you have to work 18\/7 to make it happen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Build it and they will come” will not work. You have to find the markets, and those mostly have hoards of developers and investors circling and chasing dreams.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Any random (10 Km)^3 collection of voxels in a cube (100,000 km)^3 = (1E5*1E3 Meters)^3 centered at the earths center holds lots of potential information. Volumetric scans of that to (1 mm)^3 are possible for hundreds of properties and calculated values. The goal seems to be 1 Angstrom but there are groups down at picoMeter already and some beyond. I was talking to groups yesterday about mapping at (1 femtoMeter)^3 and attoSeconds.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You would be better to help all the emerging global and heliospheric sensor networks work together, share in global open lossless formats, correlate over decades, and see what emerges. (the diameter of the earth is about 12,750 km)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is thankless, slow, difficult and you are not likely to see any end or satisfying outcomes in your lifetime. The groups working at (365.25*86400 = 3.15576E7 Seconds) are in the weeds. But that can at least be mapped and shared losslessly if you can get those groups to work at (100*365.25*86400 = 3.15576E9 Second). Round to 1E8 and 1E10 second boxes.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Lots of people can conceive of it now, but they mostly are not working together, each one wants to be boss. Every group makes their own ways of describing things and will not use what I call “Standard Internet” (Systeme Internationale on steroids) covering all things.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
