ArXiv has deliberately left the implementation of such systems to others. There's nothing stopping anyone from making such an overlay, should they choose to do so (and many have tried).

If reproduced, it could be the 2023 Nobel (see the high Tc prize. Announced in March, awarded in October). Verification can be very easy for this particular phenomenon.

Those materials exist (see Apiezon vacuum grease and Lesker vacuum sealant). In less-demanding or desperate applications, they can work. But like similar last-ditch repairs (think automobile muffler tape or radiator sealant), they only occa

:(. I've been happy with NUCs. I've been very happy to pay a premium for a product I'd certain would be consistent. In fact, I've recently been trying to find a NUC-like system that could accommodate a 3.5" drive -

I am and could, but can't make the time for the inevitable support issues that pop up. If there's a COTS system available, I'd rather spend my time in the mountains :). The upside of a home-built system is truly serious logg

The yardstick is indeed the light-travel time. Gravitational waves really do change the time it takes for light to travel between two points. We use light travel-times to measure distances, thus we say that the distance between the points h

This approach alone will not get you the peer-review necessary for colleagues to take you seriously nor the publication record necessary to get a job.

Scientists routinely request more grant money for research whose difficulty exceeds initial estimates. You're already doing an incredible thing; it is okay to ask for more assistance.

If drift/noise is low-enough, it can be used for a long-enough period to be viable. Ring gyros and precision accelerometers have been used in inertial navigation systems for ages. This is likely another step along that path.
