More Batteries vs. Submarines Now that the German TKMS... and the French Naval Group have massively adopted lithium-ion batteries, following the Japanese lead, this is consolidating as a major trend, just as I had predicted. The next stage will be solid-state batteries, and at that point, we'll essentially be discussing only speed and submerged endurance in comparison to nuclear submarines. Since solid-state batteries are lighter, they will allow for a greater number to be installed, freeing up space for more powerful propulsion systems. Naval Group has already sold a version of the Scorpène to Indonesia capable of remaining submerged for up to 80 days. That's with lithium-ion batteries. Imagine what this could exceed, more than double, with solid-state batteries. In practical terms, a more powerful engine combined with solid-state batteries in the proportions that Naval Group is now using in the Scorpène would provide three times the speed, meaning something like 10–15 knots at constant speed while maintaining around 50 days submerged. This would give a range of 40,000–50,000 km, requiring less than one hour on the surface for a fast recharge. For speeds above 25 knots, simply adding more batteries and a better engine would suffice, as the solid-state system has high power output. All this at 15–20% of the cost of a nuclear submarine. And if the choice is to power the batteries with a micro-reactor, it would cost 25–35% of a conventional nuclear one. Then someone will say: “But a nuclear sub can stay submerged for years.” That makes no difference at all, since even with around 60 days of endurance, the crew still needs to surface to resupply provisions. The big advantages remain: battery-powered subs are superior in silence, and speed can be addressed with larger battery packs.show more

Y'all see this swirl over the Mediterranean passing south... of Benghazi? That's not a hurricane – it's a Medicane. Yes, that's a real term. The word is a portmanteau combining "Mediterranean" and "hurricane." The Mediterranean is too small to support barotropic (tropical cyclones) the scale of conventional hurricanes AND is too far north to support a truly tropical cyclone anyway. Moreover, water temperatures are too cool. (Most tropical cyclones exist over sea surface temperatures of 78 degrees or warmer; the current water temperature off the coast of Libya is about 63 degrees.) Medicanes can and occasionally do reach hurricane strength. The strongest on record was Medicane Ianos, which impacted Greece between September 17-18, 2020. It briefly became the equivalent of a tiny Category 2 hurricane with winds of 95 mph. On rare occasions, a nontropical low can meander over the Mediterranean, and a storm can form that takes on some tropical characteristics. Unlike nontropical cyclones, which are common at the mid-latitudes, medicanes feature a warm core. That requires warm sea surface temperatures. A 2016 study found that medicanes are likely to become significantly stronger by the end of the century in response to warming sea surface temperatures. Tthe researchers found a likelihood for "a higher number of moderate and violent medicanes.” Since 1980, Mediterranean sea surface temperatures have increased between 1 and 2 degrees.show more

Incredible view of inside #Melissa. Storms move counter clockwise... in the northern hemisphere, so I had to ask Jim Cantore why this is spinning clockwise. His expert answer -- storms rotate 'counter' at the surface, and clockwise at the top as the flow evacuates the storm.show more

🚨 BREAKING: Scientists just discovered hidden structure in water... Not deep inside it… but in the top 4 molecular layers at the surface. For decades, physics simplified water like this: → molecules point “up” or “down” → rough orientation picture → good enough Turns out… that was wrong. The new discovery Water at the surface doesn’t just tilt… it twists And that twist: • changes layer by layer • forms an ordered pattern across ~4 molecules deep • controls how water behaves at interfaces This region is insanely thin: ~8 angstroms (just 4 molecules thick) But it governs: • atmospheric chemistry • biology • ocean reactions • basically all surface interactions What they found: Instead of random structure… Water forms a layered, alternating twist pattern Like a molecular helix stack at the surface Why this matters: We’ve been modeling water wrong at interfaces And that affects: • climate models • chemical reactions • nanotech + materials • biological systems The deeper shift: Structure isn’t just position… it’s orientation + rotation This fits a bigger pattern showing up everywhere: Reality isn’t just particles… It’s geometry + alignment across layers Follow me I break down where even “simple” things like water stop being simple.show more

During a Grand Solar Minimum and a geomagnetic excursion,... Earth becomes the dangerous place. A weak magnetic field means unstable radiation belts, ionospheric chaos, satellite failure, GPS collapse, and increased cosmic radiation at the surface. The Moon doesn’t suffer from this chaos. It has no magnetosphere to collapse, no ionosphere to destabilize, and radiation in deep space is harsh but stable and predictable. With just a few meters of lunar regolith, underground bases on the Moon, especially on the far side, become better shielded, more reliable, and more survivable than Earth orbit or even Earth’s surface. That’s why the Moon isn’t a distraction. It’s the logical place to ride out what’s coming.show more
