‘morph time’, no time, & the glimmerings of FTL?

Posted on by

Following up to the ‘morph time’ post [https://davehuer.com/blog/morph-time-hubble-constant-tuning/]…the biggest idea is far is:

  • there is ‘no time’
  • and is this the first glimmerings of practical FTL?

Even better: If the universe is a mass of Donuts (good pun there!) could FTL trips be accomplishable in short hops of not “moving”? ie. across the Möbius/Klein torus flow (skipping, like hop-scotch)?

And notably, in this model: There is the appearance of compression but no compression. There is no start and end. There is compression that is simultaneously expansion and every aimlessness everywhere: There is effortless flow.

De-Laocoöning-the-Lagoon: Salvation Engineering for Venice

Posted on by

The City, the Lagoon, and the Sea

A Proposal to Regenerate the Storied City

Imagine befriending the sea. This could be the key to everything.

In 2020, I wrote the proposal and sent it to Italy, and found a few minutes to publish it today: https://davehuer.com/concepts-for-geo-engineering/de-laocooning-the-lagoon-salvation-engineering-for-venice/

Venice - The Inner Lagoon as Gatun Lake

Venice – The Inner Lagoon as Gatun Lake

Venice is losing the battle to save itself. The challenge is the nature of the location.

Imagine Venice regenerating itself by re-imagining its relationship with the lagoon and the sea.

Imagine re-imagining that nature. Turning the sea into benefit.

Technique to continuously develop and improve discovery hypotheses

Posted on by
One of my British technology advisors told me about Paul Whitewick’s British History travelogues after learning about my love of Time Team. From this, I’ve decided to post this method of hypotheses development for you, my readers, to employ: From the activity of developing hypotheses, I’ve developed a Landscape Economics Analysis (“LEA”) technique. It is under Peregrinations in the Cartoproblematica Navigation Menu: https://davehuer.com/cartoproblematica/hypothesis-development-techniques/ – Proximity of Desire (POD) is linked there also.
 
Hope this sparks new questions that lead to interesting avenues of enquiry.
