I want to know if the jets are made up of material that is swirling towards the black hole from the accretion disk but get caught up in the magnetic helix (a) before it reaches the event horizon, or (b) after it passes the event horizon. I

Nice clean look. Isn't the ESV version copyrighted though? You should probably switch to a version that isn't.

Besides gimballed rocket bells, it looks like they also use side venting of fuel, oxidizer, or inert gas. It's not steady, it starts and stops apparently to give an extra torque moment when rotating the body or stabilizing the upper en

I heard a maxim that declares: "a sharp discontinuity in the frequency domain equals ringing in the time domain, and a sharp discontintuity in the time domain equals ringing in the frequency domain". In other words it will cause r

I guess my point is that they are, at minimum, not in the mainstream in discussing this phenomena. That is not a refutation of their research or logic but gives context to what other serious scientists have concluded. Even this article [1

NASA itself investigated similar spherules [0] they called "blueberries" and determined they were hematite-rich "mineral concretions" [1]. Evidence of water in the environment long ago, but not of life. This ResearchGa

I read the book when I was younger and later watched the Google talk. I remember thinking as I watched the talk that things just didn't add up. A simple search online could not verify that he had ever worked with the FBI. His answer

That is how we did create such topologies. But if we had not, could they have been discovered through neural architecture search [1]? NAS has been used to find architectures that outperform those that were hand designed. And in RL , Goog

I meant learning the topology (I called it architecture) from scratch, or minimally from heuristics. What would I discover? Something that we recognize as an IIR filter? Probably not, but if it did, what would it discover that we didn&#

Also, in the article linked below, Al Worden described his transearth EVA on Apollo 15 in which he could see both the entirety of the earth and moon simultaneously in his field of vision (the only person to do so in history?). He regrets n

I've sometimes wondered how many signal processing kernels or filter architectures you could learn via SGD given the right data and search strategy. Maybe using something like Neural Architecture Search, so not just the weights /

He spoke about this in the documentary film, In the Shadow of the Moon [0], "Certainly I didn't feel it as fear, I felt it as awareness, almost a feeling of exultation. I liked it! It was a good feeling." He mentioned th

To clarify, they were transearth EVAs, so they were not even during orbit around the moon. I recall seeing some upscaled videos on youtube of this which looked pretty unearthly. https://www.history.nasa.gov/SP-4029/A

The article touches only on Hohmann transfer orbits apparently. I was hoping it would also cover space rendezvous techniques (v-bar, r-bar, z-bar) [0] and ion thruster brachistochrones [1]. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi

A verse you might want to consider is "... we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe." My interpretation is that forgiveness is available to all but made effective on

The pause at 0:32 looks to me like a parallax effect [0] which would have occurred if the person holding the camera moved slightly right, counteracting the object's natural movement. I don't know why there are no contrails or see

These clips are wild and literally out of this world! Funny that a shout of "Tango Delta" precedes "touchdown confirmed". Both indicate a TD, but I'm not sure why the former needs to use the phonetic code. I also
