The Eternal Doorman

This is really interesting. He has written a book  The Classical Wave Theory of Matter: A Dynamical Interpretation of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and Gravity .    See his website:  https://classicalmatter.org/ . My comments : 17:28 It's not clear this is a conservative system though. What if this wheel, gummy-bear, whatever is not at the end of the string? If you hold the neighbouring wheels, gummy-bears, whatever, still and turn one on the middle then all that happens is you warm up the elastic band they're threaded on. So it is important that the neighbouring elements are free to move and that the elastic band is perfect. Then wouldn't you get half the twist going in one direction and the other half going in the other direction? [ 31:58 Ah OK] I think the more interesting model is that the 'photon' is a topological deformation in the perfectly elastic ether and is emitted by a spin 1/2 particle doing that Dirac belt trick thing, but that's not a material m...

I saw this film in 2014 sometime and I was very puzzled by the part in the opening scene where Hal Moore, played by Mel Gibson, is studying the specifications of the Bell "Huey" Helicopters . "Development of the Iroquois started in the early 1950s, a major impetus being a requirement issued by the United States Army for a new medical evacuation and utility helicopter." What struck me was the maximum ceiling of the things, which was well over 12,000 feet, fully loaded.  I wondered how many places there were in the world which had populations living at that height above sea level. I knew only Bolivia and India/Himalayas/Tibet. I can't find a clip of that scene, but there's this one: So I suppose that explains it. Subscribe to Hollywood Society Media . But then I just learned from CGTN that in the early 1950s the CIA were organising an insurgence in Tibet ( 3:26 ): Subscribe to CGTN .  

I said "Why is google so crap in Bolivia?" It replied:  Based on user experiences and reports, Google services (Search, Maps, Play Store) can feel suboptimal in Bolivia due to a combination of poor local infrastructure, limited local support, and regional technical restrictions. Key reasons for this include: Poor Internet Quality: Slow, unstable, and congested internet connections are common in Bolivia, which severely impacts the speed and reliability of Google Search. Lack of Local Data and Support: Bolivia has limited localized data for Maps and services, and the country is often not a priority for Google, leading to less accurate or missing information. Payment and Access Restrictions: Users in Bolivia often find that international cards are declined on the Google Play Store, requiring local payment methods. Technical Issues: Reports indicate that even when using decent, local Wi-Fi, services like the Play Store or updating offline packs for Maps can become stuck or unusab...

I have been complaining about some of the (presumably AI-generated) video clips he's been using, ( 4:20  and 7:26 ) showing what seem to be implausibly dense galactic clusters. So, ... last time I asked what they were, and where they were taken, and said maybe they were dark matter. Subscribe to Anton Petrov .

It has an interesting story about climate-change:   Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered a 3,500-year-old city that is changing what scientists know about early civilization in the Americas. The site, known as Peñico, reveals complex urban planning and trade networks dating back millennia. Dan Collyns visits the newly excavated ruins to explore how this discovery challenges long-held assumptions about the origins of civilization in the region. Subscribe to CGTN America .
