“Sleeping Dog” documentary is Superb! Director nailed it. Whatever TF it is 🙌 It’s not about @JeremyCorbell It’s about his umwelt and the umwelten of those close to him, cohering, in the face of formidable and malevolent dissonance.

You can do this with soap bubbles and a handheld concertina fan 🫧🪭 using a pull before push action to phase-lock the bubble into a local relative-vacuum, making the bubble oscillate, then amplify until subdivision. Kinda like bipartisan politics 🤔
The Bohr-Wheeler theory (1939) explains nuclear fission using the liquid drop model, proposing that a heavy nucleus acts like a liquid drop, held spherical by nuclear forces but distorted by proton repulsion. When a neutron hits, it adds energy, causing vibrations; if enough energy is supplied, the nucleus deforms into a dumbbell shape, and the strong Coulomb repulsion splits it into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons.

Plateau’s laws brought to life, soap films span wire frames to minimize surface area with films meeting at precise angles (120° borders, ~109.5° vertices). Taylor’s geometric proof grounds it all. A perfect math-optics demo in a bubble.

I am not here as a content creator monetising my life and thoughts for your entertainment. In 2017, while researching hominin migrations, I found strong evidence of prehistoric alien visitation. My life pivotted on a dime. Like a zero inertia hard right. I'm here exploring ways to communicate the findings. Tentatively building a network of collaborators and supporters. Its open source networked alien disclosure (or rather confirmation). The evidence is actually not the problem. I'm the problem. A small, flawed, underdog unit of consciousness trying to punch above its weight class. Out matched. Out of breath. Out of rounds. Bell looming. Unable to put the puzzle pieces together in a way that fully, readily, coveys the transmission across suitably for both academics and lay public. Perhaps for neither. Feels like a computer tasked beyond its CPU and hard drive, fan whirring, screen glitching, doing its best to complete the task before a blue screen of death. I'm 404 on the optimal path. Convincingly sharing objective evidence of alien visitation to 4.6 billion sceptics is an unreasonable ask. Especially for a nobody half cast, half-assed, autist from a middle of nowhere farm village. I'm shooting up a flare. The ocean is vast and dark. I'm not sure which way is shore. There's a paradigm shift in the boat with me, but the damn thing has slipped between my sweaty fingers. We need this data uploaded on the blockchain, globally distributed, fully accessible, open source. A thousand talking heads with breaking news, a zillion downloads on Spotify, peer reviewed, tripled viewed, mentally chewed. Fully uploaded to the zeitgeist and smashing through the Overton window. I want to see a kid in a backwards baseball cap, spraying 'alienz was ere' and know that my work is done. Peace out, all speed ahead, second star to the right, and straight on till morning. 788,000 years ago beings from a distant world walked here and that matters. They mattered. That we can be here as crazy upgraded apes, on this wildly spinning rock, out in the Boondocks of the Milky Way and know about it happening, matters. I'm no professional content creator, but I've got something worth sharing and I'm going to keep trying until I succeed or die trying. 🛸👽🧬

Photons Generated Just By Moving A Mirror? Yes. The Dynamical Casimir Effect is a quantum phenomenon predicted by quantum field theory, where an oscillating uncharged mirror in a vacuum generates electromagnetic radiation, or photons. Unlike classical physics, where electromagnetic radiation arises from moving charged particles like electrons, the DCE occurs due to the interaction between the moving mirror and quantum vacuum fluctuations. This interaction causes virtual photons (those that exist momentarily due to quantum uncertainty) to be upconverted into real photons, which then propagate away from the mirror.
