Underground, undermud
I’ve been illustrating and animating the hair cells of the cochlea for work and for fun. The outer hair cells, which are also found in the semicircular canals, are designed to communicate and physically vibrate up to about 40 KC, possibly up to 100 KC. Steinheil’s ground telegraphy was DC, much like Morse except that…

IOT as seen from 1955
I was looking back through my Aberree theme to find something. Didn’t find it, but ran across this 2017 piece. Nothing has changed since then. = = = = = START REPRINT: Actually Musk doesn’t believe his negative comments about AI; he’s just talking the price down to corner the market. Nevertheless, he’s famous for…

The AI telegraph
Well, not exactly… but Highton’s telegraph did use the selective lens idea. Henry Highton was an engineer working for British Railways in the 1840s. (Of course.) He developed several improvements in magnets, wires, insulators and telegraphs. One of his telegraphs was a needle sensor generally similar to Wheatstone. Another was a dial similar to Breguet.…

One vs many is a myth
Organizing some thoughts, might not go anywhere. 1. Of course AI is a tool. The problem is that the full-scale tool is EXCLUSIVELY in the hands of demons, who are using it for demonic purposes. Anyone can set up their own inference engine on their own computer, but ordinary people don’t have unfettered access to…

Who invented the earth?
Multiple choice quiz. Who invented the earth? A: God, 4004 BC. B: Random quantum fluctuations evolving atoms and molecules and planets, at a quantum indeterminate date and time. C: Carl August Steinheil, 1837. Correct answer is C. = = = = = Steinheil was a physics prof who got interested in the new sport of…

What if PO had bought it?
From previous item, Morse ran the first real commercial trial of his system for the Post Office, but they decided it wouldn’t be profitable enough for full implementation. If the PO had bought Morse, many things would be different. After our PO turned him down, Euro POs made better offers, and most of them quickly…

“Earlier than thought”
Morse received a government grant to test his telegraph in 1845. Here’s an account of the first official message, from a hagiography of Exalted Saint Morse, dismissing all earlier and later inventors. = = = = = On April 1, 1845, the line which had been worked as a curiosity was opened for public business.…

WOW!
This is a HUGE development. Currently, electrical activity is mainly associated with ‘excited’ brain neurons or heart cells, however, this may not be an isolated event. As the novel research suggests, this communication may enable cells within the same tumor to coordinate cell growth and promote tumor survival. In essence, cancerous cells start behaving more…

Exception to the delta rule
Following on previous and especially pivoting from the discussion of money as DELTA of value. Whether we’re talking about a clock mainspring or a storage battery or a capacitor or a dam or a grain elevator or a bank account, we are always storing a DELTA produced by work. The work comes in many forms.…

Cranks and eccentrics
Note: This was posted last month and I finally got around to making the correct battery for Morse’s original. I’m reposting at today’s date to add the battery, and ALSO because WordPress did some suspiciously weird ‘optimizing’ on one of the animations. (It looked OK when first published.) Looks like they’re trying to gradually erase…

Taking on water
In the ’47-65 period when disc UFOs were reported everywhere, several people saw a disc hovering over a lake or pond, siphoning or pumping large quantities of water. This wouldn’t make sense for an electric motor or even a small nuclear plant. Our long-distance satellites have mini nuke reactors, and they don’t need water. Taking…

Morse is music
A column from Telegraph and Telephone Age in 1910. Morse is a way of speaking and hearing language, so it ‘logically’ should be processed in the same parts of the brain as spoken language. These 1910 observations indicate that Morse occupies the same areas as music. Experienced operators were not bothered at all by general…

Illustrated two ways
Today is Morse Code Day! I don’t need to add any new animations, since Polistra has been tirelessly sending the same prayer on several different keys in two different languages. The HappyDays365 webpage has a pretty good writeup on Morse himself and the code in general, giving proper credit to the MANY inventors who came…
