Great question and I hope this gets answered.

Most industries in the US only care if a location has water capacity rather than sustainability issues.

A few weeks ago it was from an older Chinese test. It would be quite disturbing if the ISS was destroyed and then China would offer cooperation with theirs.

Goety··on The most powerful MRI scanner in the world delivers its first images
Your last paragraph has definitely increased my optimism. I wish i had more time to reply. I might have to wait for another weekend for this.

>there are also a huge number of opportunities -- it is (hopefully!) going to make it possible to image at higher spatial resolution, and also be much better for MR spectroscopy, and reveal information about low concentrations of biomolecules. But I guess the main point of my comment originally last night was trying to convey "the journey is really just beginning" and not "expect this in your local hospital in five years time".

What specifically in your estimation will aid in detecting low concentration biomolecules?

That paper is on my to read list.

Goety··on The most powerful MRI scanner in the world delivers its first images
I dont think you understand how valuable this information is for someone who is a layman. I really appreciate the response!

Oh shit so the math and detection gets stupid difficult at higher mag fields because of wavelength/scale and complex environments. I cant imagine how interesting those patterns for B1+ ≠ B1-* are from a diagnostic perspective /s. But as an academic pretty damn cool with a lot of opportunities.

Heating the patient sounds like a bad idea. So the higher mag field incurs a lot of problems due to physical properties and the sample media being the human body. It does look like we are innovating a lot to make this work. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading so far.

What is it about a stronger magnetic field in practice that decreases b1, b0? Is it that we cant create a strong magnetic field with good homogeneity in a small space? Are sensors also a limiting factor?
Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
Can we engineer a human backbone behind these services to be resistant to corruption and complacency for security sake?

We did an ok job with nuclear weapons but only just.

Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
>In what condition?

Well that's the question right? Without nuclear there may not be a middle ground as an option for a lot of people.

>So your just suggesting we go back to the middle ages? No, thank you.

I'm not suggesting anything, simply declaring it an option.

which is why i included 'or [support] changing the narrative'

i appreciate your language as well.

Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
>Energy is a fundamental need for society to flourish.

Energy is needed for basic modern services.

Humans have survived a long time without electricity. It could be simpler to 'go without' or 'find a workaround' for a lot of conveniences if we were serious at combating climate change.

This wasnt an inevitable conclusion post 2008 but apparently it is one we may need to examine.
Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
As you accurately describe the threat is mass conflict and disorder. Why do you willingly support that or changing the narrative?

Global instability is likely to lead to more conflict and war without any guarantees of end. A vast population reduction of vulnerable people for a lot of people IS extinction.

Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
Stronger controls on education about the nuclear industry is not the magic pill for success. The magic pill in my estimation is trust and time without accidents.

Currently Macron is trying to promote 'french nuclear power plants' and 'small nuclear reactors' across the globe. Both geopolitical opponents and activists are agains this.

There are multiple nuclear reactors being built in China at present.

Goety··on Biometric and behavioural mass surveillance in EU Member States
> We did obey and suffer the lockdowns. We did get the vaccine. But it certainly doesn't look like we're getting our liberties back.

Security, whatever form you consider it, has not taken a step back since the end of the cold war. What reason or incentive could we possibly give already empowered people to be less powerful?

Two years of complete or near complete communication monitoring combined with the patriot act is going to influence our society going forward for decades. This enormous feat of surveillance was done with little trust in oversight.

> I don't personally think the pandemic warranted such a totalitarian crackdown on citizens.

This thought is way too vilified and used as justification for extensive monitoring. Though we survived the resulting fallout of the entirety of pandemic measures I'm not sure many will agree in what form we want to continue.

Goety··on All Applications for Nuclear Energy at COP26 Rejected
Nuclear is not a palatable political solution for a lot of people and it is easily simpler to reject the proliferation of such materials. The current 'theater' from a geopolitical standpoint for nuclear is China and it does not appear to be succeeding well. I don't expect France to succeed given all that has occurred.

Smaller nuclear devices will need constant care and monitoring that it is highly likely people will need to 'grow with' such devices. I dont think the will UN back something without a proof of concept which could delay adoption years.

Goety··on Rare, ancient Maya canoe found in Yucatan
If they excavate properly I fully expect this to be a long long term project. This is Mexico so I'm not sure who has controls over such a project. I wonder how much french investment this has.
