the Elastic Atomic Web - Make it stand out Fig 1 | Elastic interatomic material is compatible with General Relativity. Elasticity means reversible strain per unit effort. The relationship is readily mapped onto Einstein’s field equations where the constant terms are analogous to elasticity, spacetime curvature (stress-energy tensor, Tuv) is analogous to strain, and matter/energy (Einstein tensor, Guv) is analogous to Hookean force. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1635643942706-5RVPZNB8N1Z18T5423DV/fibers-01.png DemystifySci Blog - the Elastic Atomic Web - Make it stand out Fi­g 2 | Quantum Particles Interpreted as the Action of Attoscopic Atomic Fibers. Fibers are ubiquitous building blocks throughout nature found in biology and material applications alike. I hypothesize that atoms consist of heterogenous fibers and that all ‘field effects’ and subatomic particle behavior results from the interaction of these fibers. Atomic fiber may display substructured fibrils like (A)collagen, or supercoil as shown for spandex CNT fibers (B). Plant fiber example architecture is shown for (C) cotton and (D) quinoa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1635644011579-Y1EH6SEVLA5RR23TVOQY/entanglement-02.png DemystifySci Blog - the Elastic Atomic Web - Make it stand out Fig 3 | Modern Visualizations of Entanglement Imply Connective Atomic Structure. Entanglement is the phenomena by which atoms appear physically connected via near instantaneous exchange of spin information. Popular representations of entanglement often illustrate a ray-like connection displaying wave-like behavior. (A) comes from Quanta Magazine, (B) is widespread and owes to Getty, and (C) is also widespread but perhaps originates at a UMass blog for quantum computing. Also see here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1635644150017-NB7N6CY2H0RMPWHSLUQZ/atom+build+out-01.png DemystifySci Blog - the Elastic Atomic Web - Make it stand out Fig 4 | Hypothetical Radial Atomic Surface. A simple 1s atomic electron orbital is shown (A) as an approximately spherical harmonic structure with thinned filaments extending in all directions to reflect the radial distribution function for the electron, which tells us that the surface of the atom can indeed be found located at extraordinary distances from the nucleus. Push-pull deformations of the radial atomic electron filaments constitute the photon (B), which occur as the orbital is jerked back and forth resonantly due to contact dynamics with its local environment (see Fig 5 for details). This potential filamentary structure is informed by the angular momentum of the photon (C, D). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1635644248349-M6K7UAKE1IW5C4L1WPH3/light+and+gravity-01.png DemystifySci Blog - the Elastic Atomic Web - Make it stand out Fig 5 | REM Mechanisms for Light and Gravity Light is shown in (A) as the pulsing of tension and release through the web-like electron surface of the atom as it twists back and forth or changes shape, tugging and relaxing the web. This atom is connected to any partner atoms within a line-of-sight. Phased relay of these pulses can explain refraction, reflection, and diffraction. In (B) the elastic electron web can host waves of varying lengths simultaneously. The radial atom also allows us to explain Newton/Hooke’s inverse square law for gravity (C), where intensity (Fg) falls off with increased distance. A purple square approximates the surface area of a partner atom of height, h. Where there are 4 connections available for atomic connection at r=1, there are 42 or 16 connections available at r=2 (D).

In all three cases, population of the central pens is much greater than the edge pens - though this relative concentration is not the same in all trials.

Chart shows the amount of time it takes for an organism to make it through 100 generations, doubling each generation, as the time between doublings increases. When doubling takes 1 hr, in 100 hrs there are 10^30 organisms. When the doubling takes 1 year, it takes 100 years. Given that the earth is at least 4 billion years old, there’s ample time for a single organism to grown sufficiently dense to weather a sudden change in conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1584765529411-YMPRAMLH4B8ODO65EB5B/Exoplanets_discovery_methods_chart.png DemystifySci Blog - Where Do Viruses Come From?

From the Scripps Institute: A cross-section of a small portion of an Escherichia coli cell. The cell wall, with two concentric membranes studded with transmembrane proteins, is shown in green. A large flagellar motor crosses the entire wall, turning the flagellum that extends upwards from the surface. The cytoplasmic area is colored blue and purple. The large purple molecules are ribosomes and the small, L-shaped maroon molecules are tRNA, and the white strands are mRNA. Enzymes are shown in blue. The nucleoid region is shown in yellow and orange, with the long DNA circle shown in yellow, wrapped around HU protein (bacterial nucleosomes). In the center of the nucleoid region shown here, you might find a replication fork, with DNA polymerase (in red-orange) replicating new DNA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1584829512501-53PHNQ3KKB9D37JN3IXY/scales-01.png DemystifySci Blog - Where Do Viruses Come From?

Mass can be thought of as atomic pulling effort. This team of athletes is analogous to an atom pulling on another. Below is a 3-atom model universe with no motion due to perfectly balanced outward pull among the atoms.

A fourth atom is connected off axis to our previously static 3-atom in-line universe. Because atomic mass is unbalanced, modeled here as atomic tugging effort, motion appears when the atom is released. https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/27/whats-in-a-pandemic-part-1 monthly 0.5 2020-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1582851540006-4VXWP5LKLDFOAWJGEXC6/pandemic-01.png DemystifySci Blog - What's in a Pandemic (Part 1) Endemic diseases occur regularly across populations. Epidemics occur in discrete clusters, and pandemics happen when these clusters spread out across the globe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1582851700618-1OLR1HHS8RK0NE2WLCS4/plague-01.png DemystifySci Blog - What's in a Pandemic (Part 1) A brief summary of the plagues that have swept through Europe and the Americas since we started recording. There are others that happened in India and Asia, but I haven’t sifted through those numbers yet and can’t evaluate them. The width of the bar tells you how long the pandemic took place for, and the grey fill tells you the case fatality rate for each infection cluster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1582852239888-VODH1F33QNUTQXMU711S/The_silent_highwayman.jpg DemystifySci Blog - What's in a Pandemic (Part 1) Industrial London in the background, wreathed in a thick smog.

This didn’t stop Londoners from polluting the river with sewage - it just ensured that the pollution that happened was downstream of where they were taking most of their drinking water. Sewage practices through history are a different entry altogether.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1582852615625-24JPTVWXG1JHY23SRJYO/A_comparison_between_smallpox_and_cowpox_pustules_on_the_12t_Wellcome_V0016674.jpg DemystifySci Blog - What's in a Pandemic (Part 1) Variolation on the left, vaccination on the right. Cowpox produced a much smaller reaction, and the pustule formed couldn’t infect anyone else. Variolation with smallpox, on the other hand, led to a more severe outbreak and the possibility of community-derived infections. https://demystifysci.com/blog/whatiswork monthly 0.5 2020-02-28 https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/19/posture-and-disease monthly 0.5 2020-02-25 https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/17/demystifying-time-travel monthly 0.5 2022-02-13 https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/16/an-animal-morality monthly 0.5 2020-02-25 https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/14/what-do-they-mean-energy monthly 0.5 2022-02-12 https://demystifysci.com/blog/2020/2/13/bugs monthly 0.5 2020-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e0c114e4b03955129f1013/1581621292913-KOF87JHTVQR8G327UAXD/climate+figs.png DemystifySci Blog - Forget Emissions, What About the Bugs?
