In the absence of gravity, electrostatic forces can induce semi-stable orbital motion between charged bodies. Using a homemade Van Der Graff generator to charge droplets with opposite polarity to a statically charged rod create these crazy orbits!

What if a spacecraft could cycle between Earth and Moon orbits, performing multiple circuits of each, naturally and indefinitely, with zero propulsion? We’ve discovered a new class of stable, prograde, low-energy cycler orbits that do just that. Why these orbits matter: Ballistic → fuel-free Stable → long-term ready Near-chaotic → agile with low ΔV Low-energy → access to Earth/Moon, Lagrange points, Sun–Earth L1/L2, even heliocentric space At the AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialist Conference in Boston next week, I’ll present on a new family of ballistic Earth-Moon cycler orbits that are stable, prograde, and mission agile—unlike any cyclers in the current literature. The example below is shown in both the Earth-Moon rotating frame and inertial frame. Conference Paper:

Here it comes... A reoccurring negative polarity coronal hole structure is soon to go geoeffective and hit Earth with its high-speed-stream. This follows after a sequence of M-flares have charged up the ionosphere, and a minor CME impact has just come in. Yeehaw!

Unlocking Zero Point Energy. The Casimir effect is a spontaneous force which has potential applications as free source of energy. The effect can be manifesting as a repulsive tendency between two conductive plates in a vacuum environment or can be a phenomenon of attraction between the same plates. A number of characteristics determine the attraction or repellence. The current understanding of the Casimir effect is based on the interaction between the fluctuations in energy density of the vacuum and van der Waals forces at play. The vacuum is thought to be the primary driver in the dynamical effect while the van der Waals contributes to the attraction. Because the Casimir torque arise from the #quantum fluctuations of energy or, more precisely from the zero point energy of materials and their dependence on the boundary conditions of the electromagnetic fields, these kinetic forces can be tailored, this raises the intriguing possibility of exploiting it for free energy. 🔗

There's a bacteriophage that turns bacteria into “liquid crystals.” Specifically, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria make Pf phages, which are rod-shaped, negatively-charged, and measure about 2 micrometers in length (roughly the length of an E. coli cell). These phages leave the cells and enter their surroundings. There, they mix with polymers, also secreted by the cells, to form a crystalline matrix. Surprisingly, this is good for the cells. Although the phages kill some of them, it also makes their biofilms stickier and able to withstand certain antibiotics. These bacteria + phages are prevalent in cystic fibrosis patients; they've formed a sort of symbiotic relationship. The Pf phages are made from thousands of repeating copies of a coat protein, called CoaB, which wraps around a single-stranded, circular DNA genome. These genes are integrated directly on the bacterial chromosome. The bacteria “turn on” these phage genes when placed in a viscous environment with low oxygen levels. This is like a trigger to start forming a biofilm. And the cells make a lot of phages; about 100 billion per milliliter. These liquid crystals form because of a physics principle called “depletion attraction.” If you just mix a bunch of loose or flexible polymers together (such as long carbon chains) they will not form a liquid crystal. But if you mix stiff rods (the phages) with loose polymers at a high enough concentration, the polymers will force the phages close together to create a material that flows like a liquid despite being ordered like a crystal. See the video below. These liquid crystal biofilms are hard to get rid of. The negatively-charged phages block many antibiotics (like aminoglycosides, which are positively-charged) from entering cells. Liquid crystals also retain water, so these biofilms can survive on drier surfaces. I first heard about this from Malmesbury’s excellent newsletter, called “Telescopic Turnip.”

This constitutes dangerous and illegal incitement and provocateurism. The so-called “Bishop” Ndlela must be charged and arrested without delay. These inflammatory statements were already made several days ago. I am therefore urgently tabling a parliamentary question in the National Assembly to the Acting Minister of Police, demanding to know why Ndlela has not yet been charged and arrested. The rule of law must apply equally to all, and those who engage in such reckless and divisive behaviour cannot be allowed to act with impunity.

Kling 2.6 Motion Capture is so good. It's a huge leap forward. We've been able to do motion capture with AI for a while, but the quality bump finally made this approach useful. Here are the steps: - Get a reference video - record it or get a stock video - Grab the start frame of that video - Edit it using Nano Banana Pro. Ask to replace character and background. - Select the Kling 2.6 Motion Capture model in the video generator on Freepik (now Magnific) - Upload reference video + set the edited start frame - Video prompt can be simple e.g. "Gandalf dancing"

🚨 BREAKING: Gravity doesn’t actually “pull” you. That’s just how it looks. What’s really happening is deeper… Space-time isn’t empty. It behaves more like a field with structure. And when mass appears… it doesn’t just “bend space” it changes how time flows. Think of it like this: If time flows evenly → everything stays stable If time compresses → motion is forced toward that region That motion is what we call gravity. In Einstein’s model: mass curves space-time But here’s the missing piece: What is doing the curving? In my framework: Mass = a region where time is compressed Gravity = objects moving along time gradients Motion = the system trying to rebalance So you’re not being “pulled down”… You’re being carried along a flow of time. This explains something most people miss: Gravity always points one way. Because time only flows one way. And the deeper implication is wild: If gravity is just time imbalance… then controlling time flow = controlling gravity. The real question is: Are we discovering gravity… or learning how to engineer it? Follow for more this goes deeper.

⚡️🇷🇺Unique first-ever footage which shows the use of the 152mm guided artillery shell ЗОФ95 "Krasnopol-M2" fired from a 2A64 rifled gun on a Msta-S self-propelled howitzer against a Ukrainian Armed Forces strongpoint located in a forested area along one of the operational axes. Particular attention is drawn to the performance of the solid-propellant gas generator charge, which helps maintain the shell’s kinetic energy and velocity for a longer duration, allowing it to achieve a range of up to 27 km. When fired from a high-ballistics gun like the 2A36 "Giatsint-K" with a barrel length of 51 calibers, the Krasnopol-M2 can reach distances of 37–40 km.

Here are some really tactical ways to optimize the First and last frame capability: — Make sure your prompt includes precise camera motion descriptions for smooth and creative transitions between the first and last frames. — Or, you can simply include the word “transform” in your prompt for a smooth transition — Starting with a closeup in your first frame and then zooming out to a wide-shot in the final frame is an effective way to create a dramatic reveal.

Just testing Nano Banana for fashion try on + changing facial expressions and poses and then Kling AI 2.1 start and end frame to create outfit changes. It could be an interesting way to showcase fashion items on a website. Maybe a new range of clothing got released and you can create transitions that showcase every new item OR if you've done real photography with real models wearing real items of clothing, you can just create transitions between the outfits to showcase them. The main way I'm prompting on Kling using start and end frame to get these effects is to say something like "A womans outfit rapidly changes" or "A womans outfit rapidly changes from a burst of fire, sparks and smoke".

The three-body problem is a classic and notoriously difficult question in physics and mathematics. It asks: How do three objects, such as stars, planets, or moons, move under the influence of each other’s gravity? Unlike the simpler two-body problem, which has precise and predictable analytical solutions (like the Earth orbiting the Sun in an ellipse), the three-body problem quickly becomes chaotic and unpredictable. This complexity arises because each object's motion constantly affects, and is affected by, the other two. These gravitational interactions form a tangled and unstable system. In fact, there's no general formula that can solve all three-body scenarios exactly. This was first demonstrated in the 19th century by Henri Poincaré, whose work laid the foundations for chaos theory. While exact solutions remain elusive, scientists have discovered certain special cases where the motion is stable or periodic. One well-known example is the Lagrange points, where three bodies can maintain a stable triangular configuration. However, such neat solutions are rare. Today, thanks to powerful computers, researchers can simulate three-body systems with remarkable accuracy, helping us study triple-star systems, exoplanets, and asteroid dynamics. Yet even small changes in the starting conditions can lead to dramatically different outcomes, highlighting the sensitive dependence on initial conditions that defines chaotic systems. The three-body problem is actually a specific case of the broader n-body problem, where n can be any number of interacting bodies. As n increases, the complexity and unpredictability rise even further. The three-body problem serves as a vivid example of how simple laws of nature, like Newton’s law of gravity, can produce behavior that is intricate, unexpected, and profoundly difficult to predict.
