How Civilization Ends

Tucker Goodrich is not optimistic, based on his experience with working on engines and machine shops. Due to the dwindling supply of quality machine shops and very poor quality aftermarket parts as well as a lack of people interested in learning the engine building and machine shop trades, I regret to inform our many followers […]

Discovering the Speed of Sight: It’s Different for Everyone!

Hey everyone! Did you know that scientists have cracked the code on the “speed” of our vision, and it turns out, we’re all unique in how fast we process visual signals? This could explain why some of us react quicker to things happening around us.

In an intriguing experiment, researchers wanted to see how many times a light could flicker in a second before people thought it was just steadily shining. It’s like testing how fast your eyes can catch up with a strobe light at a party. Participants were exposed to varying flicker rates, and their job was to say when the light stopped flickering and started to look constant.

So, what’s the big reveal? Well, it seems our ability to process images per second is not a one-size-fits-all. The most eagle-eyed participant could detect flickering up to 65 Hz (yep, that’s 65 on-offs in just one second), while the lower end of the scale was around 20 Hz.

This finding isn’t just cool trivia; it has real implications for understanding human perception and could influence everything from the design of our screens to how visual information is presented to capture our attention effectively.

Stay curious and keep exploring the wonders of how we see the world! 🌍✨

A classic from when the US pulled out of Afghanistan.

"Minchin preferred Maxwell’s own term, “coefficient of electric elasticity.” Maxwell argued that along Faraday’s “lines of force,” or field lines, there exists a kind of tension. At right angles to the field line, there is a kind of pressure. The electric field (E) exerts a force that causes a displacement (D) of equal and opposite charge, polarizing the medium. Terminology was in flux, so to speak. Maxwell also referred to the same constant as the “dielectric capacity” of a material [[ii]], and used the symbol “K.” By Heaviside’s time, practitioners preferred the Greek lower case letter, epsilon “ε,” and Heaviside’s terminology, calling this parameter the “permittivity” became standard."

TONIGHT on the Mosaic Ark: WE GO INTO THE CAMP!

The camp at the University of Chicago has been taken down by the UCPD, so now the work of the historian begins.

What happened this past week during the encampment in Hyde Park? What did Professor Fulton Brown learn in her conversation with the campers? And who were those flag boys with the Stars-and-Stripes?!

Live at 8pmCDT on Unauthorized.tv and Telegram (https://news.1rj.ru/str/fencingbearatprayer).

Exclusive footage from the encampment! Backstories on the boys!

Busy night in Huntsville...

That's a lot of potential tornadoes!

They'll have a better idea what happened in the morning when they can survey the storm tracks, but neighbors a couple miles away had structural damage, and we had at least one fatality when a tree fell on a car.

That last post shared from the Aetherstream chat channel at t.me/aetherchat where you can discuss channel content or related topics.

⚠️ A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee until 10 AM CDT

Lots of trees down just east of downtown Huntsville along California Street and into the Five Points area.

Another January 6 Defendant Dies by Suicide: J6er David Homol Tragically Takes His Own Life Three Months After Biden Regime Raid, Indictment

"This new bill is supposedly aimed at safeguarding the masses from online “hate speech,” and it’s a dictator’s dream come true. Naturally, the left is hailing it as a beacon of democracy—a term they seem to misunderstand more and more. The real shocker in this bill is the alarming retroactive aspect. Essentially, whatever you’ve said in the past can now be weaponized against you by today’s draconian standards. Historian Dr. Muriel Blaive has weighed in on this draconian law, labeling it outright “mad.”"

How curious, I've never encountered this theory before. Left-handers: sinister 😉

He's right.
