The wife and I are heading out tomorrow on a road trip to the Provo area of Utah to visit here brother who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I'm hoping to get a chance to shoot photos and also collect some dragonfly eggs to rear out over the winter.

Well, back on the road again tomorrow morning. I managed to get up a nice stream flowing out of the Wasatch Mountains and got a few dragonflies including a female I was hoping for and she seems to be depositing eggs for me.
My wife went with her brother all week to his radiation treatments. They seem to make him pretty tired and he has lost his appetite. Yesterday his blood pressure was quite low. I'm glad we came to visit now. There are winter storm alerts for tomorrow, but I think we can slide into Oregon's lower elevations before the snow hits the mountain passes.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

We woke up in Baker City with about 2 inches of snow on our car, and lots in the surrounding mountains, but we had clear roads all the last 300+ miles and made it home without mishap, My specimens all made it home alive also, so tomorrow will be spent shooting portraits and taking care of the eggs the female oviposited for me.

Scientists Create “Reddmatter” – Game-Changing Room-Temperature Superconductor
I'm hoping this will lead to the revolution in technology that has been promising ever since superconductivity was discovered.
quote: quote: quote: Hope springs eternal...My initial impression is this seems more likely to be real than the Pons/Fleishman debacle.

The away stuff? What this scope was built for? Staggeringly beyond expectations. JWST is the most revealing scope we ever aimed at the sky and the data is orders of magnitude beyond expectations in both quality and quantity. What a beautiful machine. And we are seeing things that were invisible to us before JWST, in distance, and wavelength and intrinsic faintness. And spectroscopy up the yingyang. Piles and piles of new observations to explain, but also to add to what we already know about the Universe. (rubbing hands together mentally). This is getting really exciting! Astronomy and astrophysics golden age is here and I'm pleased to be alive to see big answers, but some new bigger questions! Science nerds built that fucker!Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

Both methods used appear solid and accurate from our knowledge of the cosmos. That means something is missing in our understanding of the universe. They both cannot be measuring the same thing. So, that means that there are hidden features in the Universe affecting the measurements of one or both supernovae and CMB. I think i understand how the super novae measurements work, but I don't see how the Hubble Constant is derived from CMB data. I am not sure what the data in the CMB measurements represents. We have all seen the CMB maps, but how they get from that to the Hubble Constant is not clear at all. I don't think this problem of 2 HC values is going to be solved until we understand both dark matter and dark energy. BTW, MrID claims to have the answers.

It's spinning the wrong direction!! No wonder the HC is screwed up!

AZPaul3 in Message 365 writes: Less than 10,000 year difference between old and new data. Significant difference but this seems hyperbole. What controversy? Well, in the Americas the evidence indicates that humans only arrived relatively recently, compared to evidence that humans and human ancestors have been present in Europe and Asia for hundreds of thousands of years and millions of years in Africa, so evidence supporting humans in the Americas up to eight thousand years earlier is significant. I personally thought it was interesting because I have watched the rejection of multiple dating tests (over the pat 30-40 years) that indicated earlier than expected human presence at multiple sites. These rejections have seemed to me to be motivated by dogmatic protection of cherished hypotheses rather than encouraging good scientific scholarship. Now obviously, this finding and dating doesn't tell us how much earlier the ancestors of these people actually got to the Americas or whether these people were part of the cultures that survived and spread throughout the New World. I just think this story (humans colonizing the Americas) is fascinating and I wonder what Coyote's opinion would be.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!
