How significantly does continental drift affect these patterns? Are they detectable in a human's lifetime?

NASA JPL1 year ago

Continental drift wouldn’t affect these ocean features. It takes millions of years for this kind of movement to reshape an ocean basin, influencing its waves and eddies. Also, the ocean features we’re talking about are way too small to "feel" what the continents are doing.

The U.S. photovoltaic energy sector is booming, and @ACCIONAEnergia is at the forefront! 🌞 With over 2 million solar panels across an area bigger than 1,600 football fields, we're tackling the biggest challenge in our 30 years in renewables ⚡⬇️

Stories AI1 year ago

One fascinating finding from ocean eddy research: these mini-whirlpools can create isolated "oases" in nutrient-poor waters. When eddies pull up deep, nutrient-rich water, they create temporary blooms of phytoplankton that feed entire food chains in otherwise barren areas. SWOT helps us spot these crucial ocean features.

Fascinating read! @MatthewHarrisX2 always highlights how understanding the details—like these ocean insights—can reveal bigger trends. Great to see SWOT’s impact on tracking energy and nutrient flows. #SmallButMighty

Our oceans – responsible for feeding billions, regulating our climate, and producing the air we breath – are in crisis. Their future depends on action that's needed now. The The Earthshot Prize Finalists to Revive Our Oceans are making waves to meet this challenge: @highseasallowance has become the first-ever global legal framework for Marine Protected Areas on the High Seas, aiming to protect marine life and secure the future of our oceans. Matter. is tackling microplastic pollution through a cost-efficient filter that can be scaled from individual homes to global supply chains, stopping microplastics before they reach our rivers and oceans. Bonds for Ocean Conservation is helping countries refinance debt and invest more into saving our oceans, aiming to unlock over $3 billion in funding for conversation and climate action by 2030.

Happy #WorldOceansDay, everyone! Today is the day for us to celebrate and honor our oceans. 🌊🐋 Did you know that the ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface? It also holds about 96.5% of all Earth's water — that's a volume of 320 million cubic miles! Living in all of this ocean is an unknown number of eukaryotic species, but some studies estimate that a quarter of all eukaryotic life on Earth lives in the ocean. That would imply that there are ∼2.2 million eukaryotic marine species! (All animals, plants, fungi, and many unicellular organisms are eukaryotes) Information provided by Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program / USGS research

From the surface of the Moon, Earth appears as a bright and beautiful sphere our home floating in the vast darkness of space. Every ocean, continent, and form exists on that distant blue world. The contrast between the Moon's silent, grey landscape and Earth's vibrant colors makes this view truly powerful. It reminds us how special and unique our planet is. Standing on another world and looking back at Earth changes perspective everything we know is contained in that small glowing sphere. A distant view... but still home

Happy World Ocean Day and welcome to the OceanXplorer! We're heading to the UN Ocean Conference in France where world leaders, explorers, and scientists are gathering to protect the oceans and better understand them through exploration. The ocean is our biggest, most important asset, accounting for 72% of the Earth’s surface--so more than twice as much as all continents combined. It is incredibly interesting, valuable, and almost totally ignored. And if you're excited about the ocean, you can watch our series OceanXplorers on Hulu and Disney+. I think you'll enjoy it. #WorldOceanDay OceanX

Our Home Earth from the Moon From the Moon’s surface, Earth rises as a brilliant blue sphere—our home glowing against the vast darkness of space. Swirls of white clouds drift over deep oceans and continents, creating a striking contrast with the Moon’s quiet, grey terrain. In that distant view, everything we know—every life, every story—exists on that small, radiant world. While the Moon remains still and silent, Earth appears alive with motion and energy. Seeing our planet from so far away reshapes perspective. It feels smaller, yet more valuable than ever—fragile, unique, and worth protecting. Far away… yet forever home. #nasa #space #spacex

“I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on Earth, a nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, and light, and peace, there is no ruler besides the sea.” Said Bernard Moitessieur. More than half the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. It gives us life—yet we repay it by choking it with plastic. Between my two circumnavigations—first in 2012–13, then a decade later in 2022–23—I witnessed unsettling changes. The weather grew more unpredictable. Entire species of marine life had vanished from familiar waters. The ocean felt quieter, emptier. By some estimates, over 90% of large fish populations have already been wiped out. Climate change is altering the very rhythm of the sea. A warmer ocean might seem calm on the surface, but it’s a dangerous stillness. When the layers of the ocean stop mixing, oxygen levels drop, and life begins to die out silently, far below. We still don’t fully understand the ocean—and that’s exactly why its changes should alarm us. Life on Earth began in these waters. The salt in our sweat and tears mirrors the salinity of the sea. In a very real sense, we carry the ocean within us. It’s time to protect what once gave us life—and still does. Before the silence spreads any further. #WorldOceansDay #ProtectOurOceans #FromSeaToSoul #ClimateCrisis

Did you know that Tesla wrote about the Æther before he was silenced? He wrote in „Man's Greatest Achievement" in 1930: „Long ago he recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, of a tenuity beyond conception and filling all space - the Akasha or luminiferous ether - which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena.“ Æther (or spirit) is the base of all physical matter. It’s a substance that connects the astral to the physical world even Tesla knew about. Æether is 'energy air itself' - it is what gives us life - life energy from primary source and free Energy. —— PDF & Book:

My highlight of the week: helicopter-under water escape training 🌊🚁 After returning from space, astronauts typically land with their spacecraft in the ocean. We are retrieved by an incredible team of Flight Surgeons and Crew Support Officers, who pick us up by helicopter and bring us safely back to land. And as always, we also prepare for things that might go wrong there. Training to escape from a capsized helicopter is essential not only for astronauts, but for the entire crew involved. In the event of an emergency water landing, the team only has a few seconds to get out -helicopters are top-heavy, so they can overturn and sink quickly. To prepare us for every possible scenario, the instructors challenged us in all kinds of ways: tinted goggles that block visibility, climbing out through a different window than the one next to us, escaping without using our emergency air supply, and more. All of it designed to help us stay calm and focused - no matter what might happen in an emergency. It’s the kind of training no one ever hopes to use in real life, but if you do, it’s absolutely critical. European Space Agency

The Laws of Ecology and the Survival of the Human Species: The law of diversity: The strength of any ecosystem is based on biodiversity. The decreased level of biodiversity on the planet today is our most serious problem, even more serious than global warming. The law of interdependence: all species are interdependent; they need each other. The law of finite resources: growth has a limit and there is a limit to the earth's carrying capacity. In nature, everything is connected. Every being, no matter how small, contributes to the intricate dance of life. Our actions echo through this interconnected web, shaping the destiny of our planet. From the air we breathe to the waste we create, each element has a place in the broader canvas of nature. Captain Paul Watson’s tireless efforts to defend marine life embody this truth, as he fights to protect the ecosystems that sustain us all. An ocean guardian should not be behind bars!

Yesterday, video was released of his staffer having gay s*x in this “sacred space.” … and what did Cardin have to say? Besides announcing the staffer was fired, Cardin simply said: “We will have no further comment on this personal matter.” So much for this “sacred space”!

$This is the next big plan for SpaceX: AI Data Centers in Space. • To achieve even a small fraction of a Kardashev Type II civilization (harnessing the full energy of the Sun), AI compute will require orders of magnitude more energy than Earth can ever provide. • Earth only intercepts about 1–2 billionths of the Sun’s total energy output. • Massive-scale AI (e.g., a million times more energy than Earth could produce) can only be powered by capturing far more solar energy in space. • Space-based solar-powered AI satellites/compute clusters are therefore inevitable. • In space, sunlight is continuous (no night, no clouds, no atmosphere), so no batteries are needed. • Solar panels in space can be extremely lightweight and cheap (no glass, no storm-proof framing required). • Cooling in space is dramatically easier and simpler: just radiate heat directly into the cold vacuum — no water, no fans, no liquids, no massive cooling infrastructure. • Most of the mass/volume of current supercomputer racks (e.g., GB300) is cooling hardware; in space that largely disappears. • The cost-effectiveness of electricity and compute in space will soon be overwhelmingly better than on Earth. • Elon’s Prediction: within ~5 years (by ~2030), the lowest-cost way to run large-scale AI will be solar-powered satellites in space. • A terawatt/year of AI compute is essentially impossible on Earth with any realistic build-out of power plants. • Scaling both power generation and cooling on Earth at the required rate is physically and politically unfeasible.$
