Originally published in 10NOV2019. All rights are reserved. Of course, we begin with affirming conservation and symmetry, and see that good clocks exists based upon real, pragmatic and measurable quantities in spacetime. The best clocks make free motion look straight-forward as straight lines in spacetime. In spacetime, all freely moving particles travel in straight lines …
One step closer… from blockchains to stress-energy tensors
Originally copyrighted and published on 04NOV2019 Blockchains maybe a good set of "test particles" for General Relativity. That is, in locally accelerated frames of reference, traveling roughly in the same direction. It is, as a group, a relatively small series of "points" with little mass-energy (energy equivalence). Thus, we can say they move as "free-particles" …

The Clock Condition in Spacetime and Einstein’s Relativity
Originally published on 25OCT2019 by Dr. Kenneth M. Beck. All rights reserved. In the singular work, GRAVITATION, Nobel Prize recipient Kip Thorne gives a basic definition of time at the outset in the practical, pragmatic sense that is always a hallmark of General Relativity, in terms of a “good clock,” “Good clocks make spacetime trajectories …

Some Thoughts on an Issue of Causality and Digital Data
Originally published on 22AUG2019 by Dr. Kenneth M. Beck. All rights reserved In a brief, one month "social" experiment of sorts in Seattle, when I was a driver with Lyft - a share ride company - I had many clients/passengers who wanted to chat about science and technology. I carried a copy of GRAVITATION in …

Study: Fix to food climate problem doesn’t require veganism
SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press The world likely can't keep global warming to a relatively safe minimum unless we change how we grow, eat and throw away our food, but we don't need to all go vegan, a new study says. Researchers looked at five types of broad fixes to the food system and calculated …

“Rust Never Sleeps” – Energetics of Life
I am going to assume that the reader is taking my advice and reading the easily available reference articles that are provided. So to begin again with Dr. Herbert J Levine’s Editorial, pp1105… "This finding suggests that a basic characteristic of the energetics of living matter drives this phenomenon. Some insight into this mechanism is …
The Intrinsic Heart Beats in Humans

Ludwig Boltzmann (1886) From Figure 2 in the paper by by Herbert Levine This article will begin in the middle of the last one, where it got very interesting. At the findings of …
