Sunday Gathering October 6, 2024Ryan Kenny (Habakuk)“Trust me.” Have you ever had anyone say this to you and it just didn't land? No matter how much you wanted it to be true, there was too much evidence to the contrary, that even while they may be trustworthy, all hope was lost? As you look around the world, as you look at the political landscape in America, do you have hope that things can be made better? That people can turn it all around? What if trust is a way forward, even when you can't see it and even when everything may not be turned around. Where have you placed your trust in this season?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The economics of space tethers, published by harsimony on August 22, 2024 on LessWrong. Some code for this post can be found here. Space tethers take the old, defunct space elevator concept and shorten it. Rockets can fly up to a dangling hook in the sky and then climb to a higher orbit. If the tether rotates, it can act like a catapult, providing a significant boost in a location where providing thrust is expensive. Kurzgesagt has a nice explainer and ToughSF has a great piece explaining the mechanics and some applications. Tethers make it cheaper to explore space, but how much cheaper? Let's look at the benefits. Tether materials and characteristic velocity The key performance metric for the tether material is the characteristic velocity: Vc=2Tρ Where T is the tensile strength and rho is the density. The stronger and lighter the material is, the faster the tether can spin, boosting payloads to higher speeds and saving more fuel. This quickly leads to thinking about exotic materials. Hexagonal boron nitride! Carbon nanotubes! I'm not immune to this kind of speculation, so I've added an appendix on the topic. But as I argue in another part of the appendix, we already have good enough materials to make a space tether. The potential gain from studying exotic materials is actually pretty small. For what it's worth, I like glass fibers. They're pretty easy to make, the material can be be sourced in space, they can handle large temperature ranges, and they're resistant to atomic oxygen environments and UV [1]. They can also get pretty good performance, S-2 glass fibers have a characteristic velocity close to 2 km/s while the best currently available material clocks in at 2.7 km/s. Now let's look at why the speed of the tether matters. Delta V and fuel savings Rockets have to reach a certain speed in order to orbit any object. For low earth orbit, that's roughly 7.9 km/s; that's over Mach 20 here on Earth. The change in velocity, or delta V (dV), required to reach orbit is the currency of spaceflight. You can essentially map out the solar system based on the delta V needed to reach different places: Source It takes a lot of fuel and engineering to get a payload up to these speeds, making launches expensive [2][3]. Tethers are exciting because they can wait in orbit and offer a rocket some extra delta V. A tether spinning at 1.5 km/s in LEO can grab a rocket moving at 5.8 km/s and release it at 8.8 km/s: Source It takes a while to visualize how these work. Staring at this gif helps: Source Even a small delta V boost saves a lot of fuel. That's because the total fuel required for a mission increases exponentially with delta V requirements, as we can see from the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation: ΔV=Ispg0ln(mimp) I_sp is the specific impulse of the rocket, g_0 is the gravitational acceleration (often just called *g *in Earth's gravity), m_i is the total initial mass of the rocket including fuel, and m_p is the payload mass of the rocket after the fuel has been expended. Note that m_p includes both the literal payload and the mass of the rocket itself. Rearranging to see the exponential: mi=mpexp(ΔVIspg0) m_i is the sum of the payload mass m_p and the fuel mass m_x. We can rewrite the above in terms of fuel mass: mx=mp(exp(ΔVIspg0)1) By offering a free delta V boost, tethers can save literal tons of fuel. If the tether is spinning at a certain velocity V_t, the tether provides a boost twice that size. You can subtract that boost from the dV requirements for the rocket: ΔV'=ΔV2Vt The new initial mass is: m'i=mpexp(ΔV2VtIspg0) The new fuel requirement is: m'x=m'imp=mp(exp(ΔV2VtIspg0)1) As an example, let's imagine a tether orbiting in LEO [4] at an orbital velocity of 7.5 km/s and spinning at 2 km/s. Our rocket only needs to reach 5.5 km/s in order to be boosted to 9.5 km/s. A Starsh...

Does sound travel faster in space? Is the multiverse theory true? Can gravity escape a black hole? In our latest episode of our popular “Chuck GPT” series, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome our Social Media/Patreon Community Director Stacey Severn to answer fan questions collected from Patreon patrons, students, Facebook and YouTube. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the recently released Euclid space telescope image of galactic cluster Abell 2390, which is about 2.7 billion light years away from Earth, in which more than 50,000 galaxies are visible. You'll also hear about the Coma Cluster, the Virgo Cluster, the closest galactic cluster to us, and the planned Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Our first fan question comes from Emil R. on Patreon: “I wonder what would happen, if you tied one end of a really, really long rope to the International Space Station and have the other end hang down all the way down in the Earth's atmosphere. Would the current speed of the ISS circling the globe counteract the fact that the rope is in the atmosphere and experiencing drag? Would people on airplanes be able to see a rope swing by? Would the end of the rope on the ISS be stretched out or loose, and would it drag the ISS down in its orbit?” Allen, who loves this question, addresses orbital velocity, drag, momentum, conservation of energy, space tethers, sky hooks, space elevators, and the ISS. Chuck talks about having seen the Tethered Satellite System trailing behind the Space Shuttle through the telescope he was using for his doctoral dissertation in the 1990s! Our first student question comes from Michael L.: “Is the multiverse theory true?” Chuck's answer involves eternal inflation, bubble universes, quantum mechanics, many worlds, and, somehow, Schrödinger's cat. From Facebook, Steven B. asks: “We all know that warp drive is still science fiction. But what is developing with other kinds of propulsion? Have we reached the limit of chemical propellants? What is happening with ion drives and nuclear systems?” Allen reviews the state of the art, including Ad Astra's VASIMIR engine, which we covered in our 2-part episode Star Trucking with Franklin Chang-Diaz and Miranda Chang. Our next student question is from Roberto J.: “How was gravity created?” Chuck says that while we just don't know for certain, gravity may have come into existence during the “Plank time” at the very start of our universe before cosmic inflation began. YouTuber @UnexpectedBooks asks, “How can gravity be “transmitted” via gravitons? It seems that a black hole would have no mass, because gravitons, like everything else, couldn't escape it.” Chuck explains that even though definitely black holes have mass, if gravitons exist, they must be able to leave the event horizon, and Allen points out that gravitational waves do just that. Our last student question is from Omar: “Does sound travel faster in space?” Chuck describes how sound waves travel, and why there's enough particulate matter in space to still allow it, possibly even faster than here on Earth. We end on a Patreon question from Eric S.: “The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a casualty of the particular mathematics we have used to explore the quantum world. If we were to adjust those mathematics to a less consistent but more complete axiomatic viewpoint, could it be possible to 'see deeper'?” Chuck and Allen's answer involves high-order math, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, string theory and quantum mechanics.

PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz Watch the Unedited Liminalstream Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJDFZ-iAB7A&t=5 THE DIVERGENT MAGICK ANARCHIC GRIMOIRE "From PRAGMAGICK creator and perpetual fuck up, Revel Rosz, comes the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire. A workbook that offers a framework to create, construct, disrupt, and rejuvenate the rites and rituals that form your personal lore. It's Divergent because it doesn't adhere to a single current, reflecting the diverse nature of each person's individuation process. Additionally, it's divergent because the creator is a neurodivergent schemer, always seeking to merge the pragmatic with the magical. The grimoire's 40-plus ritual cycles encompass metaphysical frameworks for various aspects, be it artistic projects, health habits, or creating/deconstructing magickal rituals. Each rite cycle can delve into the neurotic details of a single step, making the grimoire a major rite in itself! The only rule: customize everything! Let this tool assist your anarchic praxis in ritualising the mundane, echoing the profane, and resonating with sacred rites that shape your personal lore. Hardbacks and paperbacks are available on Amazon. Contact PRAGMAGICK-(at)-Gmail-dot-com to be part of the grimoire's own deconstruction and rebirth!" After years of working with Eric Millar and his We The Hallowed Press bouts of independent publishing, I decided I would take a stab at creating custom, blank journals—largely for myself and my endless need of scribble books. I designed a blank journal with PragMagick's Austin Osman Spare Planchette insignia, only the image on the cover, but needed to publish it to the public to get my discounted author copies, so I pummeled through the annoying minutiae of listing it for sale to a general audience. I knew how niche and specific these designs were, and had no expectation about them selling. The simple praxis of self-publishing these wholly custom journals got me itchy about all the publishing projects from the early We The Hallowed era. Hell, even Revelator Rosz, my rebirthed moniker reinvigorated by the Prospectre Ritual, is still listed as an author to the first ever We The Hallowed zine. Dissolving the internal dissonance I've felt with We The Hallowed as a magickal apparatus of late, echoing its ethos of anarchic revelries of shared metaphysical creations, and finally, resounding in the thirdscene of both made new—allowed me to construct this anarchic grimoire, this workbook, this rubric for user-created ritual construction. PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz THE ANARCHIC SCHEMA The Grimoire is simple. The book gives space for the aspects of a rite, it gives space for the ruminations and visitations of a rite's attempts, space to catalogue a personal sigil alphabet, and, most importantly, it introduces the “Disolver Eco Resonar” method to assist in ritual ruination, reconstruction and rebirth of all of the above. This very chapter of the Haunt Manual was guided by this D E R method—as the Spectre of 2017 dissolves, the Aspectre of a thought lost self echoes, and the resonance of these workings haunt on through the Prospectre of self and future works… My aims of this Grimoire are threefold: 1) To hone and construct my own ritual processes within an organized schema 2) To have this become the backbone for a resurgence in community driven magicks 3) To deconstruct & rebirth new schema for updated volumes. My hope is that the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire is not only found useful for neuro-divergent and neuro-typical minds alike, but also inspires a community of sharing these anarchic recipes for life in the form of their custom rituals. Perhaps this tome can become the tool to discover the constants, to discover the inherent. Perhaps this is vessel for the intentionally customizable scripture of this self-styled art-religon's “Tethers?” We shall see. Notes on terminology From Elena (SorcerersHomie): Praxis: Rite, ritual, practice, cycle. Tethers: Additional notes that don't entirely belong to the other sections of the praxis. Intention: Succinctly articulated objective of the praxis. Spectres: [Note to self] Go read Keats' entry on this as well as the following. These are external or internal contacts—deities, spirits, intelligences, saints, notions i.e., "certain musicians' pathos," etc., with whom you wish to parlay your intentions. Talismans: Physical objects to be utilized in the rite. These may be tools for some specific purpose or items used symbolically toward the aims of sympathetic magic. Invo/evocation Sequence: A distillation of the rite's sequence into nine distinct steps. For best results, they should be comprehensible to a second person. Sigil: A symbolized representation of the praxis (via the usual means). Declarations: The praxis' "prayers, chants, decrees, etc." or the song's lyrics, mission statement, etc. The text of the rite. Observations: "Note the conditions within and outside the self. A micro mindfulness meditation to break you away from the fervor of craft creation." 1 Month Later: Reflections after a month. Disolver: Admissions of obstacles to the rite's work that should be resolved. I think of these as "the trees," as in, "can't see the forest for the trees." Keats writes: "Dissolve them to see past [them]" in this section. Eco: "What do you need to keep performing? These are actions; these are movements. Roar the elements that worked to have them amplified and repeat!" Josephine [McCarthy] always reminds us patterning strengthens ritual actions. Knowing this, what actions will you repeat in future? Resonar: "A revelatory whim materializes. [...] What is it you hope wallows and lingers on from the praxis?" What epiphanies from the praxis process our outcome will you carry with you? What do you want to ring out in perpetuity? K also adds: "Haunt • Emanate • Unify • Resolve." Many potential meanings to Resonar. Thanks to Jenny Rocky for her amazing example used in the podckast! Thanks to Derek Hunter for the kind words about the Grimoire!
