#CoSoBooks

I am in town for one night, and the people I am staying with said, "Just relax we are going to cook dinner.
Just look in this book, and find a couple of dishes. We will do the rest."

The book:

“A New Map of All the Particles and Forces”

Does this new visualization help at all..... Maybe I am just used to the old periodic table type.

But it seams more complex, less easily understood, yes it shows more interactions... and that’s a good thing....

#CoSoForest

The Japanese Sustainable Forestry Technique Called Daisugi (Platform Cedar).

"The technique was developed in Kyoto as a means of solving a seedling shortage and was used to create a sustainable harvest of timber from a single tree. Done right, the technique can prevent deforestation and result in perfectly round and straight timber known as taruki, which are used in the roofs of Japanese teahouses."

#CoSoEconomics

Economics for the people.
Against the capitalist creeds of scarcity and self-interest, a plan for humanity’s shared flourishing is finally coming into view.

"Dysfunctions such as climate change, racism and inequality are not unrelated and naturally occurring features of life. On the contrary, they are based on the fictions and failures of the ‘private’ that later turned into systems that now govern our lives"
By Dirk Philipsen

#CoSoSpace

What would a realistic space battle look like?
by Evan Gough

"So it's important that as more nations grow their presence in space, and as a competition for resources starts to cause problems, that the conversation around space conflict take a realistic turn."

#CoSoPhysics

A New Map of All the Particles and Forces

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe.

Chris Quigg, has been thinking about how to visualize the Standard Model for decades, hoping that a more powerful visual representation would help familiarize people with the known particles of nature and prompt them to think about how these particles might fit into a larger, more complete theoretical framework.

#CoSoSec

Mass Extraction:
The Widespread Power of U.S. Law Enforcement to Search Mobile Phones.

We found that state and local law enforcement agencies have performed hundreds of thousands of cellphone extractions since 2015, often without a warrant. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such records have been widely disclosed.

#CoSoCosmology

( I keep telling you folks.... "There ain't no such thing as Dark Matter.")

Big Trouble in a Deep Void

Cosmology is currently in a major crisis because of many severe tensions, the most serious and well-known being that local observations of how quickly the Universe is expanding (the so-called ‘Hubble constant’) exceed the prediction of the standard cosmological model, ΛCDM.

By Indranil Banik, Moritz Haslbauer, and Pavel Kroupa

So do I need to explain this ?
Probably not.

I have been dealing with a few "Novices" in the last few days....
Young men that came to help us all set up a permanent generator.

Now I know that I was also young and stupid once... but holly shit.
Kids these days....

#CoSoPoetry

To listen to:

(Now I am not a Christian, and hold no opinion on the Bible. Yet this poem, and the commentary on it, a retelling of the story of Lot's Wife, moved me in its updated take.)

Of Course She Looked Back

Quick post.

What if instead of "packing the court". We go back to 7... It was 7 for a very long time.
Tell the last two appointees, sorry, you are longer needed.

Let's "Unpack" the court.
