    AI: If gasoline consumption falls, gas stations may face a death spiral as more electric vehicles (EVs) and ride sharing means less demand for gas. For example, California has seen a shift away from gas-powered vehicles, and some speculate that as many as 80% of gas stations in the state could be unprofitable by 2035.

    Many petrol stations in the UK have closed over the last 30 years, but it had nothing to do with EVs. Some have become car-washes, others used-car lots, houses, or mini-markets. This has been going on since the fuel wholesalers raised delivery charges for smaller buyers, instituting a minimum charge. Many of the old fuel outlets had relatively small storage tanks and got squeezed out because they had to charge more. And they probably lacked the capital required to shut down for a month or more to dig up the forecourt and install bigger tanks.

    Sorry, we all have the same objective reality (Nature, our World, everything that exists), but I describe it in a new theoretical paradigm, in which cold nuclear fusion is very easily described physically and mathematically.

    In my paradigm, the movement of matter, including cold nuclear fusion LENR, occurs as a non-mechanical process of material-neutrino-energy induction.

    The movement of matter in our World occurs without our participation and not according to our will.

    We can only direct this flow into our ditch.

    Cold nuclear fusion is the reverse beta decay of a proton.

    You know Aleksander, with all respect I really don't understand the sense of what you are saying. There is no problem with the grammer, I xould probably write a definition of all the words you use. But they still don't make sense.

    We are screwed...no cable capacity.


    From next year, engineers will need to roll out more than 100km (62 miles) of electric cabling every day until 2040 if the government hopes to power the UK towards its climate goals, according to new data.

    Analysis of Britain’s existing power grids and the country’s predicted electricity demand reveals that within the next 17 years, more than 600,000km of electric lines will need to be either added or upgraded across the UK.

    The research, carried out by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and shared with the Observer, lays bare the scale of Britain’s infrastructure challenge, even as energy companies prepare to speed up the building of pylons, power lines and undersea cables.

    This surge in electrical infrastructure will be a critical step in the government’s plan to wean the economy off fossil fuels and create a net zero nation by 2050. Challenges will include overhauling government policy and securing supplies of the high-voltage cables needed.

    Fatih Birol, head of the IEA, has urged governments worldwide to “open their eyes” to the scale of the task facing them.

    Advanced economies will need to lay at least 23 million kilometres of power lines by 2040 to meet their renewable energy goals, according to a recent report, and on a global level, 80m km of cable will be needed.

    “If we want clean electricity, we need not only clean methods of generation, but we need to build grids. It has been a blind spot of governments’ clean energy transition programmes of,” said Birol.

    So why from what you postulated that ? in your mind particles are the source of fields when in mine a field is a source of particles.

    There is generally a lot of uncertainty about this. As the accelerator engineer said when confronted with a dead cyclotron 'It's either your waves or your particles, I can't be sure which of them is causing the problem.'

    This is another surprise...UK Giant Redwoods outnumber Californian ones. This is very much off topic BTW, and will be deleted soon (probably).


    Giant redwoods - the world's largest trees - are flourishing in the UK, a study has found.

    The trees, which were first brought to the UK about 160 years ago, are growing at a similar rate to those found in their native range in California.

    The scientists believe the UK trees are also outnumbering the ones in the mountains of Sierra Nevada.

    However, they aren't yet as tall. In California the biggest reach 90m high, but in the UK the tallest is 54.87m.

    But that's because the introduced trees are still very young.

    Giant redwoods can live for more than 2,000 years, so there's still plenty of time for the UK's trees to catch up.

    It's estimated there are half a million redwoods in the UK - this includes the giant redwoods studied (Sequoiadendron giganteum - also commonly called giant sequoias) as well as coastal redwoods and dawn redwoods, both of which were introduced at later dates. But the scientists in the study say they think most of the UK trees are giant redwoods.

    By comparison there are about 80,000 mature giant redwoods in their native range in the forests of California.

    Abstract


    In this paper we assume the de Sitter space version of black hole Complementarity which states that a single causal patch of de Sitter space is described as an isolated finite temperature cavity bounded by a horizon which allows no loss of information. We discuss the how the symmetries of de Sitter space should be implemented. Then we prove a no go theorem for implementing the symmetries if the entropy is finite. Thus we must either give up the finiteness of de Sitter space entropy or the exact symmetry of the classical space. Each has interesting implications for the very long-time behaviour. We argue that the lifetime of a de Sitter phase can not exceed the Poincare recurrence time. This is supported by recent results of Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi.

    Kaiping, China

    Seven hundred metres below the rolling green landscape of Kaiping, southeast China, construction workers are furiously finishing a 35-metre-diameter orb-shaped detector that aims to observe ghostly subatomic particles known as neutrinos in exquisite detail. If all goes to plan, the US$376 million Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) will be ready to start detecting by the end of this year, says JUNO’s on-site manager Yuekun Heng, a physicist at the Chinese Academy of Science’s Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing.

    That will make it the first of several ambitious new neutrino detectors currently being built around the world to go online. Two others — in Japan and the United States — are due to start collecting data in 2027 and 2031.

    Due to come online this year, the JUNO facility will help to determine which type of neutrino has the highest mass — one of the biggest mysteries in physics.

    CSIRO claims new record for energy efficiency in lightweight printed solar cells
    Lead researcher says use of machine learning meant over 10,000 cells could be produced and tested in a day

    Flexible, thin solar cells that are lightweight and portable may be a step closer to reality after Australian researchers claimed a new record for the amount of sunlight they can capture and turn into energy.

    While traditional solar panels are rigid and heavy, the lightweight solar cells are made by printing ink on to thin plastic films.

    “It’s the best demonstration that this is a viable method of making the solar cells,” said CSIRO’s renewable energy systems group leader, Dr Anthony Chesman.

    The scientists, working in collaboration with researchers from four universities, claimed an efficiency record for fully roll-to-roll printed cells, in which all of the layers of the product were made using printing methods.

    For a small-scale device they achieved efficiency of 15.5% and for a larger device measuring 50cm sq they achieved efficiency of 11%.

    The results of the research have been published in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author and CSIRO’s principal research scientist, Dr Doojin Vak, said the efficiencies were made possible by integrating machine learning into the production process.

    Awhile since I posted in this thread. I have been messing with higher temperature electrolysis for H2 implantation into metals like Fe and Ni and have tried several methods of keeping the cells warm, none of them entirely satisfactory. But then I though of the obvious (generally the last thing that happens) and bought a food warmer. Very cheap ($45 including delivery) , thermostatic, good up to the 60C I need and 200 watts power usage. Contents optional but this is around 10X cheaper than the usual lab thermostatic water-bath,



    The idea of using higher than ambient temperatures for H2/D2 loading is not new of course, F&P, Mills, Nagoya, Thermocore all used this technique.
