In many cases, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in the encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the craft favor the latter hypothesis that these are indeed technologically advanced craft

How to enable dragging windows with alt-click in gnome 3 / gnome shell - Super User
thumbnail

What used to be Alt+drag is now Super+drag. Super is the Windows/Apple/Meta key next to the Alt key on most keyboards. In the process of finding that, I also discovered that Super+middle button+drag resizes windows (which apparently used to work with Alt too, but I never knew about it).

(PDF) Gravity modification experiment using a rotating superconducting disk and radio frequency fields

An experiment is described which attempts to replicate the results of Podkletnov et al. concerning an alleged detection of a gravity-like force above a spinning superconductor. The experiment is based on Podkletnov’s published descriptions plus personal communications but found no evidence of a gravity-like force to the limits of the apparatus sensitivity. A full description of the apparatus and operation is given.

Korean team claims to have created the first room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor

If their claims turn out to be true, the team in Korea will have made one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics history, no doubt leading to revolutionary changes in electronics and certainly Nobel medals for all those involved.

In our case, values of the inexplicable weight changes, which are well reproducible from sample to sample, are about 0.01 wt. %.

Although the payoff of the discovery of a superconductor-mediated interaction between matter and gravity would be tremendous, only a few researchers are pursuing this goal. The main reason for this is the adherence to dogma concerning the impossibility of increasing the matter/electromagnetic coupling coefficients. This adherence is reinforced by reputable physicists pointing out that the theoretical constructs presented so far are based on questionable foundations. As with any forays into the unknown, one has to accept a few bumps along the way, including sometimes going back to the starting point in order to start again. The likelihood of scientific ridicule is extremely high in the search for laboratory-scale gravitational interactions.

It’s complexity and uncertainty all the way down. “The fact that, with continued warming, AMOC will slow down is a very robust result. The uncertainty—and where science still needs to figure things out—is when,” Kilbourne. “But I kind of think that by the time we figure out when, it'll already have happened.”
