If it reflects sound waves back to the source, there may be standing wave issues, depending on the application. Quieting jet engine exhaust could be a good use of this technology.

The method for "Measuring" climate change is cruder than I could have imagined.

https://granthaminstitute.com/2015/10/16/taking-th e-planets-temperature-how-are-global-temperatures- calculated/

Take random measurements from wherever you want, using whatever method suits you and fill in the gaps as you please.
Then claim you have measured the earth's temperature within a fraction of a degree

Jerry Pournelle described the difficulty of measuring the temperature of a single room, about ten by ten, to One degree C.

iirc That was just to establish a baseline to measure internal human temps, which was much harder.

Yeah, aerospace stuff. I highly recommend his old website, and his published work.

https://www.jerrypournelle.com

The first Blog. Project Thor. Byte magazine. Highly influenced the Strategic Defense Initiative. More cloak & text tube stuff than can be revealed, and.....

I bet if there is a SHIELD, Jerry was there when it started, and that completely untraceable weapon system you never heard of? He'll tell you he never heard of it either. A Patriot his whole life, if there is a CIA file, it's marked RED.

His writing career? The Mote In God's Eye, Footfall, Lucifer's Hammer ( all with Larry Niven ) alone would make him a giant. His Condominium series is still in progress with new writers taking their shots at galactic empire and politics.

But I'd suggest King David's Spaceship.

No spoilers. ( pity, I wrote a nice review ) : )

Yes Pournelle wrote some good stuff.
Good luck trying to get the greenies to believe that much of it was based on real science.

Thanks Duc, I just lost my appetite for dinner. It is nice to see that Jimmy Carter is doing more for humanity now than he ever accomplished as President. He's probably more at his level of competence with a charity. I actually mean that as a compliment for a man who I have seldom complimented.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Assuming this idea gets accepted, at least in my reality, I wonder at what levels it operates. It's one thing for a photon to be polarized differently for two observers (Yes, it still astounding), but quite another for Shrodiner's cat to be alive for one person, but dead for another.

I love the Jurassic Park clip. But Mammoth was not selected by nature to become extinct millions of years ago. We ate them. In historical times, with pyramids and civilization going on, admittedly many thousands of miles away.

And opposed to the Passenger Pigeon, a Mammoth, when it breaks the fence & escapes, is easy to track down. Just look for the BBQ.

In the Steam Punk Fantasy Girl Genius, some unknown and scientists bred mouse size wooly mammoths, mimmoths. Naturally, they escaped, and with trunk & tusk, took over the ecological niche of field mice in large areas of Europe.

Flooding is not over in the Missouri River system. The northern snows haven't melted, yet. That's called "seasons". Afaik, no relatives are flooded out, but neighborhoods they've lived in are under water, as are 'hoods I've lived in.

I'm curious how "The Hole" at Offut field is doing. Much of the base is Under water.

Ratbuell, if a volcano goes off big near Mexico City, it's Biblical Scale death possibilities.

We haven't had a big city covered in pyroclastic flow in our lifetimes.

And like every new Hurricane to hit the coast or islands, the seaside population keeps going up. Even if the next big storm is milder than one a decade ago, there are more people and more expensive homes in the way. Generally that's exactly what's been happening in the U.S.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_flow

In 1902, Mt. Pelee hit Saint-Pierre & 30,000 died. Tiny island town compared to Mexico City.

Sure, it would be an unusually large eruption to reach the city. But even a smaller eruption could easily kill several million outright. And ash & gasses could hit the main city hard enough to kill many more, slower, with power grids shorting out, water & sewer breaking down, and road conditions slowing food and aid.

Pompeii didn't have a power grid. Naples didn't have power to fail, life was simpler then.

What are the odds? I don't know. That a volcano will kill a huge # of people someday soon is a certainty. It happens & will again. Will it be Mexico City this time??? Unknown. Eventually? I'd say bet on it but it could be 2-5 hundred years. Or Tuesday.

I have a few simple rules.

Don't live on a flood plain. Technically Rochester NY has a river going through it, and it's possible to have a serious flood, but risk is low. My aunt's old house in Broken Bow Nebraska, otoh, was under water last week. I saw drone footage and we used to go to the Dairy Queen I also saw.

Feel free to live on a volcano. I'm mortal, and will probably miss any excitement. But if they urge evacuation? Time to go visit relatives in a distant flood plain. ; )

Don't live on the Ocean. It's nice, but expensive, and the money I save can get me a much nicer place above flood & tsunami levels.

I already lived in Tornado country, so above the flooding should be good enough for Hurricane country. I would install real storm shutters if trees flying by is normal.

And Asteroids are like honey badgers. ; )

I'm voting SMOD again in 2020, anyway.

More volcano panic news.

The Chicxulub impact might not have been the dino killer. A dino killer, but not the Big One. Iridium from Chicxulub has been found inside other craters & vice versa.

Unfortunately science has become dogmatic in waves. It wasn't long ago thought silly that asteroids killed the dinos. Now it's silly that it isn't this one asteroid. But....

It's possible The Big One was actually the rock that created Iceland by punching a hole in the Atlantic and creating a huge volcano.

Or another impact not yet popular with the dramatic geoscience club.

I'm a catastrophist myself. Big drama changes are real and all through geology.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_Floods

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/massive-cr ater-under-greenland-s-ice-points-climate-altering -impact-time-humans

I've noticed a weird denial attitude towards asteroid/comet strikes, basically "sure, millions of years ago, that stuff happened, but not today." Aka gravity isn't still real.

Jupiter (and Saturn and....) keep sweeping the system with gravity waves in pulses that pull rocks in from the outer system and tug rocks in the inner Belt into swoops through the inner system. The supply isn't infinite, and there is a very gradual reduction in frequency of impacts.... But they still happen & will keep happening long after the Robots have replaced us as the dominant species. ( or intelligent super cockroaches, or enhanced apes, or telekinetic chihauhuas.... )

Btw, that last will be traced by Chihuahua scientists to the habit of giving something called "edibles" to primitive dogs by the two leg gods someplace they called " Denver".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Iceland_hotsp ot

Hot spot or plume? Artifact of the breakup of Pangea? Or cause?

Asteroid? Alien space ship malfunction?

I'm sure not pushing that last as a theory.: ) But what if? How would a gigaton range explosion be seen by geologists hundreds of thousands of years later? FTL drives may need incredible amount of power. When the technobabble battery breaks? What isotopic traces are left by such an event?

I'd bet there's a thread somewhere about which Star Trek alien or human ship technology is most dangerous to crash in San Francisco. Romulan black hole drives? Federation anti matter?

What effect a Star Wars Admiral Holdo maneuver into Manhatten?

Or that unfortunate industrial spill of nanite dissassmblers with the faulty gen count programming?

12 years left! Ha!
