Obvious ring world, ring world is obvious.

Bob what are your thoughts on this?

#LNMETA

Didn't see the JJG question because fuck him, that's why.

My thoughts on this are "meh. I'll deal with it when I close the node eventually."

This goes back to my issue with the seeming "quantum state" of multisig stuff relating to Lightning that I am not clear on how it unwinds...

IOW, AFAIK, when I close everything down, I should get back all my liquidity, minus on-chain costs.

In theory.

I'm not going to be able to test that theory for a while as I'm committing to keeping this node up for as long as I have available liquidity on the node, without needing to add more.

Here's a current snapshot of my P&L display going back from when I started the node. It's only very recently that I became aggressive with fees.

like I already said, it seems to me that you are all over the place and I question whether you are trying to trade your seemingly flip flopping ideas? or are you just dabbling for the mere sake of sharing information?

Right Because I don't have any specific information so I am straying from the point and mixing up things.

The classic Dyson sphere with 100% efficiency would only be detectable by observing objects orbiting the star. Basically like a black hole. Inefficient sphere would radiate heat (infrared) and be detectable by JWST.

My thoughts too. Though there would surely be diminishing returns and you'd have some emissions at a very low frequency.

But a Dyson sphere can also be built as a ring or rings around a star. Let's say a strip with solar panels going around the star. This could be detectable because the ring could cause fluctuations in the light emitted by the star.

No one mentioning Larry Niven's Ringworld?

Only those with 100% efficiency would be undetectable in infrared, but 95% efficient would still be visible, apparently.
Dyson himself thought that it would radiate, but there is a lot of discussion back and forth.

Re ringworld-awesome sci-fi, not sure it could be detected with JWST, though...if it exists.
Generally, no systems are 100% efficient and heat radiation occurs.

It detected these concentric rings around a distant star, whatever they are.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured mysterious concentric rings around a distant star that astronomers are still working to explain.

The image, taken in July, was released on Twitter by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt, prompting a torrent of comments and head-scratching. It shows a star known as WR140 surrounded by regular ripple-like circles that gradually fade away. The circles, however, are not perfectly round, but have a somewhat square-like feel to them, prompting speculations about possible alien origins.

"I think it's just nature doing something that is simple, but when we look at it from only one viewpoint it seems impossible, at first, to understand that it is a natural phenomenon," Schmidt told Space.com in an email. "Why is it shaped the way it is? Why is it so regular?"

Mark McCaughrean, an interdisciplinary scientist in the James Webb Space Telescope Science Working Group and a science advisor to the European Space Agency, called the feature "bonkers" in a Twitter thread.

"The six-pointed blue structure is an artifact due to optical diffraction from the bright star WR140 in this #JWST MIRI image," he wrote. "But red curvy-yet-boxy stuff is real, a series of shells around WR140. Actually in space. Around a star."

He noted that WR140 is what astronomers call a Wolf-Rayet star, which have spat much of their hydrogen into space. These objects are also surrounded by dust, he added, which a companion star is sculpting into the strange shells.

Astronomers will know more soon thanks to a scientific paper currently under review about this mysterious phenomenon.

"Yes, those nested 'squircular' rings are real," Ryan Lau, an astronomer at NOIRLab and principal investigator of the project that acquired the observations, replied to the Twitter thread. "Our paper on this has been submitted so please stay tuned for the full story."

To me, the 'squircular' form of these rings (and they are probably rings, not half-rings due to simply less bright second half (of the ring)) is the most puzzling part.
Looking forward to the explanation of a strange form.

No and no... obviously it was the extraterrestrial alien Charlotte the Spider, making herself a nice outer space (James) web home on the lens rim....

Bitcoin futures trading volume, in dollar terms, clocked its lowest levels since November 2020 in August.

According to The Block Research data dashboard bitcoin futures trading volume for August came in at $941.5 billion across exchanges. That's the first month it was under $1 trillion since December 2020 — when volumes were $970.1 billion — and the lowest since November 2020, when volumes were $779 billion.

Ok buddy, its all gloom and doom.
I'm going to park my car.
Close my garage door with this phone app.
Get a beer out of my fridge.
Sit down on the couch.
Turn on the ac (its hot out)
Turn on my wide screen 54" TV
Watch videos. Put on a buzz (on vacation)
And shake my fist, rant and rave because reasons.

GO BITCOIN




(I kid.... I don't rant and rave.
I just moan and groan and maybe yell at a cloud once in awhile.)

This sounds like a wonderfully productive evening plan! Congrats on living the good life. We are far wealthier and more fortunate than most of our ancestors and it's good that we can still find things to rant and rave about so that maybe our Descendants can be as fortunate as we.
GO BITCOIN!
