Consider that the rate that time elapses here is different that in orbit, due to the distortion from Earth's gravity.
It can be measured in tall buildings, if you use a good enough clock.:)
If you're in a different gravitational field than Earth, time is passing at a different rate; the larger the gravity field, the slower time progresses, coming to a stop at the event horizon of a black hole. (That's the Singularity thing; all the equations go bonkers at that point.)
During a drunken Physics conversation, I once postulated a situation where very near the Speed of Light, a person in a spacecraft would have problems moving his chest wall enough to breathe, because of the immense energy it would take to increase the speed of his chest; you could move away from the direction of travel easier, (slowing rather than increasing speed) so you would end up pressed to the rear wall of the spacecraft as you tried to breathe.
Everyone thought about it for a bit, and one of the guys mentioned the time dilation effect; in effect, you would never notice it, because time would be passing slow enough to hide the effect from you.
Your 'Reference Frame' would be approaching the time stoppage point.
Agreed; I worked with a group of Phd's that ALL fell for the russian propaganda; it was amazing how far they were willing to go to rationalize the obvious Lies.
They didn't understand Physics either, even tho they had "Physicist" in their titles; heat transfer isn't really that hard to understand.
Dude was on design #5 for a cooling channel; and still didn't understand that the least thermally conductive thing in the stack drops the most thermal gradient.
In other words, unfilled epoxy is a poor heat conductor, lol.
At that power level, it's not anywhere near the existing power levels of a 'normal' RTG.
A 1kg battery that supplies 1.6mW is useless for space. And most other things.
Also, if you don't load a beta-driven battery, it will overvoltage and blow any diodes involved.
Add enough electrons to a plate, and they'll go somewhere.:)
The biggest surprise I ever found with electrons was that you CAN flow electrons Out of a dynode, against expectations and all the existing literature.
It will deliver 3.3W at any point in time; if you draw more, the voltage will sag.
Combining 10000 of these will power a house.
A watt is Joules per second:
Wiki:
In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second,[1] and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.
December 2001 â" Three lumberjacks in the nation of Georgia found two warm canisters near their camp and spent the night beside them. The canisters were discarded, unshielded heat sources from Soviet radioisotope thermoelectric generators, each containing 30 kCi (1.1 PBq) of 90Sr.[47] The lumberjacks started showing symptoms of radiation sickness within hours, and were subsequently hospitalized with severe radiation burns.[48] The disposal team consisted of 25 men who were restricted to 40 seconds' worth of exposure each while transferring the canisters to lead-lined drums.[49]
Nickel-63 is an artificial isotope, which means it has to be made; But, it only decays by beta decay, so a piece of foil (or a deposited schottky barrier) will prevent that from escaping.
Pu RTG's put out everything from alphas to heavy fission gammas and neutrons, so this is a gogolplex better from any radioactivity standpoint.
I hope this takes off; it all depends on what it costs to make a gram. A 3300mAh lithium battery is about $1 in quantity, but has a very limited lifetime.
Slashdot Mirror
The whole drive for faster modems, bigger hard drives, bigger monitors; all these were driven by the BBS's with huge porn archives.
I remember downloading Claudia Schffer GIF's at 300 baud; good days, lol!
Hopefully, I'll be able to Amazon a fully functional BSG #6 before I die; I probably won't last a week after that. :)
There are already bots in Q3 that are awesome; play it sometime.
This is the most insightful comment in the whole thread.
Everyone Elon competes with is scared shitless at this point; you know you're doing well in America when the legion of trolls descends on you.
Well done, Elon!
It's a 2.5GHz Xeon server chip, overclocked to hell, with a 2000W chiller on it.
And a 1600W power supply.
Here's an interview with an intel engineer, later.

Trump is riding the wave Obama made.
It's starting to come to an end; the random BS Putin is having him do is having an effect.
We're screwed, long term, unless we get an impeachment soon.
I just hope they drag Trump and the rest of his Repub conspirators out, and hang them from those nice trees around the Mall.
Who the fuck would buy a used mattress from Trump?
lol.
I graduated HS under Regan; the guy who started the whole "War on Drugs" while importing Cocaine for money for weapons for Iran.
They MADE the entire Drug war, which we know now was a war on the poorer classes.
Hell it wasn't a problem until little White Girls started fucking Black men for Cocaine, then it was a Scourge.
We are still living that lie, as a country.
This is just the latest round.
He discovered X-rays before Rutherford; his images are available with a search.
Magnetism is mediated by Photons, same as every other Electro-Magnetic interaction.
Learn real physics; it's WAY more entertaining that whatever drugs you're on.
I've heard people argue "God put those dinosaur bones there to find!"
That argument is a complete waste of time; you cant reason with those people.

He'd like it there.
Hunter S. Thompson was a bastard, but a heck of a guy; this guy using his Nick obviously never knew him, or read any of his books.
We've been in Bat(shit crazy) country for 500 days and counting, lol.
He's broken so many laws, he better hope the Repubs stay in power forever, or that the Russian President is saving a pardon for him.
I hope they send him and Trump to Angola (Deep South, not the country), they'd like the other inmates, I'm sure. :)
Our falsely elected leader, who is working directly for Putin, has devolved America into Chaos over his 500 days in office.
His only "Accomplishment" was giving all his billionare buddies a Huge tax cut, and everyone else a sixpack.
In the meantime, his cronies have been arrested, charged, and are either awaiting trial, or have served a sentence and been deported.
I'm just waiting for them to fly Air Force One to russia with all the criminals onboard, and try to set up a "Government in Exile."
This is what happens when you remove school funding for 30 years; Americans are too stupid to recognize Propaganda, and Outright Lies.
Welcome to America!
Now get the fuck off my lawn, or we shoot you.
If you can't figure out Science, denying it's existence is not going to help.
Like, everyone believes the same religion, right?
Science has proof.
Just like Courts, where all these Traitors are going to end up.
This must be John Bannon, posting from the commode again.
Neither will anyone else.
We will be feeding you to the Frost Giants, however.
Carry on your pitiful life.

This still has the NSA-required flaws, so they are unlikely to actually 'fix' any of the pending issues until people stop buying servers.
I'm done with intel for a while.

So, Sr90, not Pu-238.

be building SkyNet.
Do a good job, and you really can get the Syrians out of Lebanon. :)
They train one to get all 222 points in Leisure Suit Larry I.
Best I ever got was 221, lol.
