I appreciate it, but I don't have a lighting wallet configured. I don't use a smart phone and server based wallets are super complex to learn and avoid issues. Imo lighting is severely under-developed. I have an on-chain address for those who want to donate to my software and that works out fine!

Hi Sasha ! I didn't yet have time to compile interesting lessons for you but I'll sporadically send you stuff. Here is a whole lot of physics simulators, many electricity simulators amongst them https://www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html

if it's ionizing radiation like 20ghz V band as used in starlink, yes, but i doubt it has that much of an impact without being extremely high powered (like a whole dedicated power plant running the transmitter) however, i think it can disrupt clocks in some parts of the body that are evolved to pick up the diurnal schumann resonance oscillation, similar to how blue light has a reflexive trigger in the eyes that disrupts the sleep/wake cycle

also, if you want to read about the theory that radio frequencies disrupt biological clocks go check out jack kruse https://jackkruse.com/ there is a magnetic oscillation that does a 360' rotation every ~25000 yeares at our position in the galactic disk, it is described as "corrugated" and this causes massive disruption of the magnetic fields of all the planets and the sun, and every 12000 years it causes a "micronova" which is basically a massive storm on the sun that puts out so much matter that in the subsequent 1000 years or so there is objects formed out of it and these also then smash into the planets and cause further chaos the magnetic disruption alone causes massive problems because it disrupts the normal function of the earth's magnetic field and prompts it to rotate 90', this is the phase of the cycle, every 6000 years, 90' rotation when this happens, the earth's naturally lumpy magnetic field, because of the uneven distribution of material inside it, at least every 12000 years becomes so disrupted that the crust of the earth moves around to align this magnetic material with the new orientation of the galactic magnetic current sheet, or corrugated magnetic field that propagates from the supermassive stars at the centre of the galaxy, through all the matter around it you can look these things up, and yes it is scary, and all those dinosaur bones, yes, they are there now from the last time there was a rotation, and i'm pretty sure now that it was 12000 years ago and this was the story behind the Noah great flood (and many other cultures have similar stories, there was tsunamis, meteor storms, airbursts and streaking meteors setting fire to thousands of square miles of land, some talk about how the sun had become "evil" and excessively hot if you want to pick up the general gist of it, though i think some of the thesis is wrong, get the book "The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya" - in that book it describes a lot of things that now i know about the galactic magnetic rotation cycle (corrugated current sheet) all fits together a lot better, and also probably explains the disaster of the tower of babel and sodom and gomorrah and the plagues of egypt and all that stuff all sorta fit neatly into that timeline what's scary is that it's likely going to happen within the next 50 years, another cycle like the one that was the Great Flood and that humans as they are in this situation don't have very long to prepare for it, and most are so oblivious to what is going on, and deluded by these stories about global warming and anthropogenic global warming, it's gonna be a miracle if anyone survives

🙏you’re so cool Faraday, 1832: When a conductive liquid, such as water moves through a magnetic field, it will induce occur that is perpendicular to that of the field Combined with your note above/beliw, it makes me wonder if it’s just an experience of this effect but at a different scale of time oscillations, the effect so disruptive that from an outside observer the “object” would always look perpendicular from the “volatility field”. So anyways, the satellites will come down when this happens yea?

@mleku @Sasha You guys we have a philosophical difference here. I'm not really concerned in which way will I dye or which way the humanity will go to hell. I'm not arguing anything you wrote @mleku, I just thing I have bigger chances to get hit by a car tomorrow or get a terminal disease from pollution in our air and food than to be lucky enough to dye of some cosmic scheme. Also I believe in deterministic universe so what needs to happen will happen. Also I refuse to be afraid of things that I can't influence. Also I am only concerned with things that affect my life, I like to make things work weather it's fixing an old radio or optimizing heating with a home miner. Philosophizing about digital stuff being real is fine, but only provided that the other party is aware of at least high school physics and is able to express ones thoughts in scientific language. @Sasha "Do not ask weather the statement is true until you know what it means" -Errett Bishop @mleku Thank you for sharing your thoughts and resources, I will listen to the five hours of Jack Kruse and Andrew Huberman on Rick Rubin's podcast. (listed to the first hour already, sounds legit.)

Determinism assumes that truth is static and real, which can’t be the case because everything vibrates. I would say determinism is mostly the case but only within a single observational spacial point, the future and past cannot be fully observed and thus cannot be deterministic

Wtf has nothing to do with vibration or “truth” I believe that every physical event has a consequence that is determined by laws of physics, as such every state is a consequence of a previous state in other words DETERMINED by the previous state. I do not have guesses where the starting point was but everything what followed was determined by the starting state. Put in a sprinkle of multiverse theory and everything that can happen has happened. Biological bodies are part of physical realm hence no free will. Please don’t mistaken this to nihilism.

what i just wrote before about the combinatorial complexity of states, this is even more the case as we are talking about the positions of gazillions of molecules and tehir associated particles (photons, electrons, protons, etc etc) they only become predictable given control of their mixing within specific narrow conditions of their state space reaction equilibrium, for example, relates to the level of energy lost in the transformation, and the energy required to undo this transformation - if you put too much energy in, it can go to other states instead again, some of it doesn't do all the same thing, this is why purification is always a key step in chemistry... even 0.1% contamination can completely stop a reaction from taking place

i think it is logically impossible for a product of a system to model the system itself with enough precision to really see ethe future beyond a certain degree of detail of the states of the system so it's not that it isn't predictable, it can't be predicted by us by God yes, not by us, nor anything within this universe

in order to make the effort to do any science at all you have to make the assumption that the system's parameters can be contained such that you can artificially cause an effect to occur it is illogical to assume that you can't do this and the advance of science is entirely about discovering the conditions of replication, and has not ceased to allow us to uncover new things for thousands of years at least

i work with 256 bit large integers all the time with my code and the number that they can count is more than the estimated number of atoms in the universe almost everything in the physical universe has more state space, so, determinism in the sense of reproducability requires you to massively narrow down the possible states of a phenomena to funnel it through the one you want to recur, and it's not ever really a perfect repetition

i've done a lot of experiments and self-observation regarding free will, it's a paradox the entire phenomenon of learning is based on making decisions to respond in one way or another from what i know of number theory it's just so far beyond predictable what it will do that it is effectively not possible to predict much of it you really can't compare any two given experiences with each other because they simply are not the same

i think it's not that it isn't deterministic, but rather that it cannot be simulated accurately within the same system and thus is impossible to predict to any meaningful degree beyond some time horizon

glad you found huberman and kruse interesting, they both know their stuff, and it's a bit off the mainstream health map, but of course - lots of money in wireless networks, it's big tobacco all over again if you ask me in any case it's gonna be a moot point if the intensity of geomagnetic storms continues to escalate over the next 20 years, no radio will be working after another carrington event, lots of power wires catching fire, and all that it's not about being afraid, it's being realistic - make a trajectory to be ready to go steam age for a decade possibly, and maybe consider moving somewhere far from the sea when i realised that we really are looking at impending geomagnetic chaos - and you can see this by an uptick in whale beachings and problems with aircraft navigation systems now for almost a decade, there is no question that something bad is in the pipes i think it could be terminal, but i'm just gonna assume it's steam age for a decade and work on that basis i like food cooked with fire anyway

yeah, i've tested it... outside in bright sunshine, a photo of my face all you see when you crank up the brightness is the lenses become mirrors, because they are blocking all light the camera is receiving through from the inside

Generally, one doesn’t have believes in physics but experimental demonstration and measurement so I “believe” in studies that’s methodology is valid and that have been replicated. To actually answer: I don’t think about it. In order to discuss this I could read up and form an overview on what’s the state of research on this topic but I don’t find it interesting.
