Meditations on dreams and omens

"To learn by heart the birdsong and the swirl of the bark on the trees that breathe in our own backyards." - Barbara Mahany

Some mornings I feel the birds puts on a show just for me and I think - hubris, ego! but not long before my thoughts turns towards - I'm the only one watching...The little one that played peekaboo said hello again. I should really learn their names.

We nuked the aliens! Yup, you heard that right but not from me. Dan Farah on Joe Rogan's show. Yes apparently when we detonated a high altitude nuke something fell from the sky and so we did the only natural thing, we nuked them again and again and again and collected more goodies! If only they would share and not be so selfish!



I heard Luis Elizondo give the old "material not from this world" line again. Could we have a manufacturing facility in outer space?

Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) and Vacuum induction melting (VIM)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_arc_remelting

Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications.[1] The VAR process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry, and has made possible tightly controlled materials used in biomedical, aviation and aerospace.[2]

VAR is used most frequently in high value applications. It is an additional processing step to improve the quality of metal. Because it is time consuming and expensive, a majority of commercial alloys do not employ the process. Nickel, titanium,[3] and specialty steels are materials most often processed with this method. The conventional path for production of titanium alloys includes single, double or even triple VAR processing.[4] Use of this technique over traditional methods presents several advantages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_induction_melting

Vacuum induction melting (VIM) utilizes electric currents to melt metal within a vacuum. The first prototype was developed in 1920.[1] Induction heating induces eddy currents within conductors. Eddy currents create heating effects to melt the metal.[2] Vacuum induction melting has been used in both the aerospace and nuclear industries.[2]

Nitinol sounds interesting "Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: the shape memory effect and superelasticity (also called pseudoelasticity)"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_titanium

I need to find the video again of the highly annoying buzzing thing that turns on it's side to fly using gyroscopes to generate lift, soma guy in the UK made it decades ago...how did I come across it last time?
