A child could deduce the Sun is liquidic. We know the Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth, from that, and known Earth mass, we get Sun's mass. Sun's volume is easy, even optically we can determine a rough radius, from there get volume. Divide mass with volume you get density. That density my friend will be close to water's density. Good old H2O -- a liquid.
It looks fluidic to me, especially see ones with closer shots, there are like waves and shit in there

The Atlantic: "So what work is actually valuable? It’s incredibly unclear. Many knowledge workers, ourselves included, find themselves insecure in some capacity about the work they’re doing: how much they do, whom they do it for, its value, their value, how their work is rewarded and by whom. We respond to this confusion in pretty confusing ways. Some become deeply disillusioned or radicalized against the extractive, capitalist system that makes all of this so muddled. And others throw themselves into work, centering it as the defining element of their self-worth. In response to the existential crisis of personal value, they jump on the productivity treadmill, praying that in the process of constant work they might eventually stumble across purpose, dignity, and security... The treadmill rarely provides the kind of value and meaning that we hope it will. People are growing more certain in the notion that the status quo of American working life is untenable. But the pandemic has created an opportunity to reconsider and reimagine the structure of our lives and, perhaps, remove the vestigial, extractive elements. We believe that flexible work—not flexible work during a pandemic, not flexible work under duress—can change your life"
"Never mind that in the three years that had passed since the withdrawal [from the Iran nuclear deal], Trump’s strategy was, on its own terms, clearly not succeeding: Renewed and increased sanctions on Iran — dubbed “maximum pressure” — had not forced Tehran to capitulate and negotiate a better deal, nor had the economic damage to the Islamic Republic led to its overthrow by a restless public. To Israel’s possible surprise, moreover, Trump never followed through on threats to strike Iran directly despite growing nuclear violations and multiple attacks against Washington’s regional allies.
Bucking the official line, some Israeli security officials, many of whom were heading into retirement, admitted that the policy was a failure"

Hypersonics are not a panacea.. Every capability invites its defense, for HS case, now the other side will consider attacking missile launches at a mere hint of a launch, at its source. Then you're kind of back to square one; trying to defend the homeland, makes attack on the homeland more likely.

In my system there is extreme flipping (while flipping the bird to teachers), and no grades, but at the very least schools should flip the classroom as it's generally described.
"In fact, in one study, 200 teachers flipped their classrooms, and 85% of them saw an overall increase in grades"
Heard of this DSP guy, he used 4th order poly approx for a signal proc approach, and it worked better than using the periodic function itself 😶
Working on a new time series structural break test approach.. Need to remove trend, and peridocity
Why fourth order? Has to do with the Taylor expansion probably..
TE is supposed to mirror derivatives of the approximated func, and, for $\sin$,
$\sin^{\prime}(x)=\cos(x),\quad$ $\sin^{\prime\prime}(x)=-\sin(x),\quad$, $\sin^{\prime\prime\prime}(x)=-\cos(x),\quad$, $\sin^{(4)}(x)=\sin(x)$.
The fourth order derivative came back to the sine function itself.
Approximating periodic functions with 4th degree polynomial works well.
I was wondering about that; if electrolysis could be bypassed altogether, with the method below elec generation is not needed, plant goes from the Sun to H2 fuel, direct. Great news. Fantastic research.
"Synlight: Researchers expect that within 10 years, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) can be used to split water to hydrogen chemically using the world’s desert sun... light is concentrated on a demonstration system containing a cerium oxide lattice. If steam is led into the reaction chamber, the oxygen it contains will combine with the metal at around 800 °C and will be absorbed by it, so that hydrogen is the only product left. Hoffschmidt said that the gas was 'an alchemist’s dream,' as 'this high-energy fuel can be used to create virtually anything.'"
"Bloom energy used its electrolyzer powered by Heliogen’s CSP technology for the green hydrogen fuel production. According to Heliogen, its .. CSP technology is capable of producing electricity for longer spans of time than traditional solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. By storing the solar energy, it can operate for just about 24 hours per day and seven days per week"
CSP generated H2 from Africa, or Australia through pipelines cld supply the entire world with cheap energy.
