The Moon, sky & 2 seagulls just now but through a window, so not as clear & sharp as it could be...

Ref the other platform, so my apologies including it here if you've left there, but here are 2 screenshots of Grok's amusing interpretation on the physics of the whimsical world of neutrinos thread I wrote originally on that platform(1st link), of which I copied here(scroll up) x.com/grok/status/...

"You stole my star"

I want to be Rihanna here with Chris 🥰.
I'm going to make a toned down version of this dress with material tied at the wrist but as a top, that Rihanna wore in this vid!
Also, I already wear my hair similar to hers here

A police officer stops Professor Heisenberg and asks, 'Do you know how fast you we going?'
'No.' Says the Professor. 'But I do know where I am.' 🙈

A Gap In The Leap
Sir Professor Roger Penrose's #mathematical #physics, suggests science hasn't yet found a definite way to understand the human brain on a quantum level, much less how it thinks & the mind as a concept in itself. This is important today.
Advances in AI are leaping without thought.

Civilisation is still learning how to get along whilst developing advanced military technologies because of perceived threats, where the 2 may or may not be related but more research on the science of decision making as game theory, would be very useful.Regardless, mathematics & psychology are vital

I was born the same yr & month that this Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) in a lunar landing configuration was photographed, & whilst in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in November 1969.
I was just thinking, how good it'd be to go back to the Moon, if only for a brief time

When I was a child, I wore braces because of very prominent top teeth & at 1 piont I wore a metal brace a lot & I was called the nicknames, 'Metal Mouth' & 'Jaws'.
I don't wear them now as my teeth are straight but...
... to this day, I often think about those nicknames & how I looked back then...

Here's the same whimsical physics of neutrinos thread but linked to the copy I wrote here after the original on the other platform.
I'm gradually copying over my threads & thoughts to this platform so there's a balance of my projects on both
All good fun but taking time...

Grok is very useful & I did ask it about what it thought of my whimsical physics of neutrinos thread I wrote a while ago & this was its reply linked to other platform if you missed it before
I think AI should be used with caution & as such, a tool not to be taken too seriously

@Peterlewis55.bsky.social great chat with u tonight on some very important subjects. Hope u don't mind me screenshotting thrm here as a continuation for any1 who may have caught my original post at the start. It was a good thinking exercise, even if we didn't change the world.

It'd be great to have more science news e.g current astronomy on #comet #3IATLAS on the BBC, to encourage #STEM subjects to be taken up, in order to increase jobs & industries in science & technology, instead of repeated sports coverage that provides vague value to the economic status of the country

A fascinating science, & I like this plasma photo they used to illustrate the physics & energy for the #Fusion Pilot Plant (FPP) programme results from ST40 #tokamak @aip-publishing.bsky.social Division of Plasma Physics (I think correct?)
I can't find the copyright info for picture but will later.

Although it's cold at 3°C where I am on the Northwestcoast, the crisp chill with horizontal Sunlight through freezing air, is invigorating.
On a trip to the countryside, I like to watch mist flowing across from fields, like a hovering blanket over the landscape.
If you have any mist pics pls post.

I'd noticed Cloudflare froze half the internet this morning!
Interesting timing though not subjects I'd post online but a few news stories out this morning seem to be possibly related, some local, some international but I could be wrong
