Constrained by Carlson's rigorous fact checking, Soon limited himself to statements that fell into three broad categories:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: times;">1. : That's mildly interesting </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: times;">2. : That's not true.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: times;">3. : That's wrong by several orders of magnitude.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: times;">Carlson reciprocated by introducing Soon as an " Astrophysicist and a geoscientist who spent 31 years at Harvard " albeit Soon's last academic post was as a John Birch Society summer camp science counselor.

We conclude that the independent pathway of energy transfer by electromagnetic radiation produces macroscopic-scale exceptions to predictions made using Fourier’s law. These empirical findings offer a challenge for theorists and a unique approach to engineer heat management.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">The usual basis to analyze heat transfer within materials is the equation formulated 200 years ago, Fourier’s law, which is identical mathematically to the mass diffusion equation, Fick’s law. Revisiting this assumption regarding heat transport within translucent materials, performing the experiments in vacuum to avoid air convection, we compare the model predictions to infrared-based measurements with nearly mK temperature resolution. After heat pulses, we find macroscale non-Gaussian tails in the surface temperature profile. At steady state, we find macroscale anomalous hot spots when the sample is topographically rough, and this is validated by using two additional independent methods to measure surface temperature. These discrepancies from Fourier’s law for translucent materials suggest that internal radiation whose mean-free-path is millimeters interacts with defects to produce small heat sources that by secondary emission afford an additional, non-local mode of heat transport. For these polymer and inorganic glass materials, this suggests unique strategies of heat management design.</span></p><div><br /></div>THE CLIMATE WARShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668567922800918096.post-47620163047540405862024-03-04T12:07:00.000-08:002024-03-10T12:08:34.147-07:00CAN CAP'N TRUMP HOOK DISNEYLAND IMMUNITY DEAL?<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbrQzq9Q3OeS1CQAGadRFCYouVHSCrm38jBW8MQLGAupEregsbNMsJYSlL4HO90Gy_aKqeNB6678DDrkaFHb4iQDsuNG7_w9TPWpdQ-1B4ZHZciITjwYX13OLbbixuTv4yno7s6cNP3O2Ebu15EVkyYppCLSCKdpyHE62zyKOltNf_3_J0hyz_K7TDcjzG/s2744/The%20Winter%20Palace.png" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="2744" data-original-width="2470" height="651" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbrQzq9Q3OeS1CQAGadRFCYouVHSCrm38jBW8MQLGAupEregsbNMsJYSlL4HO90Gy_aKqeNB6678DDrkaFHb4iQDsuNG7_w9TPWpdQ-1B4ZHZciITjwYX13OLbbixuTv4yno7s6cNP3O2Ebu15EVkyYppCLSCKdpyHE62zyKOltNf_3_J0hyz_K7TDcjzG/w586-h651/The%20Winter%20Palace.png" width="586" /></b></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Cormorant Garamond; font-size: x-large;"><b> ORBAN GETS MAR A LAGO AS HIS EMBASSY, <br />AND I GET DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY AS<br /> AMBASSADOR TO DISNEYLAND</b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p>THE CLIMATE WARShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668567922800918096.post-80375070199381830552024-03-02T17:35:00.000-08:002024-03-03T09:33:37.991-08:00 HOCKEY STICKS FLY AFTER JURY DECISION<p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Since the verdict in Mann v.

They’re one of the <a href="https://www.iaea.org/bulletin/magnetic-fusion-confinement-with-tokamaks-and-stellarators#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20fusion%20reactors,reactors%20keep%20the%20ions%20confined." style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;" target="_blank"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">front-runners</span></a> in designs for a practical fusion reactor. But if there’s one little disruption to the magnetic field lines running through the plasma, the delicate balance keeping it all contained gets out of whack: The plasma escapes the magnets’ clutches and the reaction ends. </p></span><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 30px;">Chijin Xiao, a plasma physicist at the University of Saskatchewan who wasn’t involved in the study, explained that these instabilities can lead to catastrophic consequences. “When the plasma stops operating, there are several risks: one is that all the energy stored in the plasma is going to be released as thermal energy and may damage the wall of the reactor," she said. "More importantly, a sudden change in the [magnetic] current can introduce a great deal of force on the reactor that can really destroy the device. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);">Xiao added that one of the biggest tokamak reactors around today, ITER in France, is only designed to withstand a few of these plasma disruptions before the whole machine has to be repaired—a huge expense. The goal is to catch instabilities while they’re small and intervene.</span></p></span><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 30px;">The Princeton lab’s model can predict so-called tearing mode instabilities 300 milliseconds before they happen.

Over time, it learns the optimal pathway for achieving the goal of high power while avoiding the punishment of an instability.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 30px;">”<span style="background-color: white; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);">The study is significant, </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);"><a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1034781?" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);" target="_blank">said</a> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);">co-author Jaemin Seo, because p</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);"><a href="https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.225001" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; display: inline !important; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);" target="_blank">revious models studie</a>d</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: var(--font-family-body); font-size: var(--font-size-body);">have only been able to suppress tearing instabilities after they happen. “Our approach allows us to predict and avoid those instabilities before they ever appear.”</span></p></span><span class="abc__textblock size--article" data-component="TextBlock" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 30px;">But tearing mode instabilities are just one of the ways plasma can become unhinged. There are <a href="https://w3.pppl.gov/~jchen/B2012_6_instability_white.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;" target="_blank"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">dozens</span></a> of

style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 30px;">Nevertheless, tearing instabilities are one of the biggest challenges on the way to boundless clean fusion energy. “Tearing mode instabilities are one of the major causes of plasma disruption, and they will become even more prominent as we try to run fusion reactions at the high powers required to produce enough energy,” said Seo. “They are an important challenge for us to solve.”</p></span></div></div></div>THE CLIMATE
