“We can guarantee that we have the ability to store the culture,

language and essence of the human race in a simple piece of glass

for future civilizations — or what ever else is Out There.”

 

- Aabid Patel, Ph.D., Optical Physicist, U. K.'s Univ. of Southampton.........

 

Eternal 5D data storage could record the history of humankind

 

A surprising headline appeared in technology news February 16th proclaiming “Five-dimensional” glass discs can store data for up to 13.8 billion years.” That’s the age of this universe! The news came this week from the 2016 Int'l. Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) conference in San Francisco where scientists from the U. K.’s University of Southampton reported: “We can guarantee that we have the ability to store the culture, language and essence of the human race in a simple piece of glass for future civilizations — or what ever else is out there.”

      April 2024 Observations and Discussion

      I wanted to comment about the weather on Tuesday, but I always get sidetracked in doing and looking at other things. Plus I was helping with storm cleanup for people from my church that evening. The first batch of showers Tuesday afternoon was heavier then it appeared on radar as PWATS were quite high, but I was in a gap between heavier cells of course. Still ended the first round with exactly 0.40". Then a short period of sunshine preceded an ominous shelf cloud from the last brief, intense line of storms. The sky looked greenish and I was out shooting video (with iPhone 15 Pro Max) and photos till the last second! But only 0.24" rain from that line with wind gust only around 43 mph and not as windy at my location as early in the afternoon. But had some decent hail with a few of the largest stones at 1" diameter. But 2 farms approximately 3-4 miles se. of me had buildings destroyed from a possible little spin up tornado or microburst? One building was totally flattened and the other farm had half of the roof gone among other damage. Total rainfall on Tuesday was only 0.64". The drought maps may be off for my location since we've had very good rains in Mar. and especially this month. Field tile lines are running since the heavy rains of early April and water is standing in roadside ditches after each rainfall. With today's rainfall I'm approaching 4" for the month. And it looks active again by late April. Just checked my weather station and I'm just over 4" for the month, with over a third of an inch so far today.

      April 2024 Observations and Discussion

      It appears that the majority of the U.S. Cornbelt region will be blessed with a lot of moisture as we close out April. @Clinton you should finally fill up that watering hole of yours! After looking at the overnight radar loops, our KC peeps did fairly well I'd say...#trainingstorms https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=ictrad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=75&interval=10&year=2024&month=4&day=17&hour=22&minute=5

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      06Z GFS was not so emphatic about a major pattern change... looks more variable like we have been seeing lately. EPS also looks variable and seems to be shifting the focus more to the south with the troughing next week. I am sure there will be some rain events over the next couple of weeks though.

      Polite Politics

      Flying right now does not appeal to me at all. With a husband retiring in a few months I don’t want to be on a plane. It’s crazy out there.
