🧵Note new discoveries in physics are being announced at an incredible rate @LosAlamosNatLab says there are “conflicting results about sterile neutrinos. If the results indicate fundamental nuclear or atomic physics are misunderstood…. Very interesting”scitechdaily.com/deep-undergrou…
🧵@NASAWebb raises questions about the Big Bang thus raising the possibility that some of our physics are wrong cnet.com/google-amp/new…
🧵Physics and a new theory of consciousness announced by @Nir_lahav and Zakaria Neemeh: Relativity comes to the “hard problem of consciousness” scitechdaily.com/physicist-clai…
🧵As an economist, this all sounds like a huge amount of spending and attention is shifting away from entrepreneurship and startups to science, physics and space. Scientists are not great at attracting $s. Now that’s going to change. #physics
🧵@NASAArtemis is a go for Aug 29th space.com/nasa-artemis-1… If successful, the flow of funds in the economy will shift dramatically towards space, physics, science. This is investable. The Geopolitics of space will become much more contentious too.
🧵 Remember will be the first flight of Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket, @NASAKennedy, the most powerful rocket ever, and a critical test of its Orion spacecraft + the 1st mission back to the moon with a crew-capable spacecraft in nearly 50 years.
🧵We are entering into an era of space trucks that are designed to carry 100 ton payloads. Its building equipment for launch pads and habitations on the moon. How will earthly powers finance this? 1. Discovery of new physics justifies it 2. CBDC/Crypto permits it.
🧵Space and Crypto will, indeed must, meet. Chew on that twitterati….
Do not miss my father's assessment of Putin's plans. @Halsrethink spent time with him years before he became the Russian leader. He longs "for was a return of Imperial Russia, not Soviet Russia." This war is just beginning. unherd.com/2022/06/putins…
🧵 "Peter, he told me, had set in motion the magnificent strengthening of Russia completed by Catherine the Great: the establishment of Novorossiya, or Imperial Russia, spanning all of the Baltic Sea, the Nordics and Poland, nations to the W and to the S to the Azov and Black Sea
🧵Putin's elevation in Russian politics happened so quickly that he "felt like fate had chosen him to be a second incarnation of Peter the Great — a 21st-century Tsar, or even Emperor."
Putin’s Rasputin: The Dangerous Mind of Aleksandr Dugin by @domingoladronlink.medium.com/F3rurs8RSpb. “Dugin believes this new Eurasian empire is the Russian people’s birthright, to rule once again over lesser peoples in the lands surrounding them”
2. According to Dugin, Russians are a messianic people, possessing “universal, pan-human significance”. This is an end if days type of thinking.
3. "Russians are, according to Dugin, a rigteous and holy people, descended from the fictitious northern Arctic realm of Hyperborea, and destined to rule over the earth.”
1. Sergey Karagonov: “it’s about the final crash of the international system that was created after WWII and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We are witnessing the collapse of an economic system – of the world economic system – globalisation in this form is finished.
2. I found this interview w Karangov, advisor to Putin, cryptic and difficult to comprehend. The core idea is that Russia’s current leaders must “win” just because they want to be in charge. newstatesman.com/world/europe/u…
3. What does he mean when he says “There is also an aim to free the Donbas republics of eight years of constant bombardment.” The Russians seized buildings. Then they complain about being bombarded?
