Feynman said, Forget all of that.

Well, you're getting closer.

This geo engineering idea, in it's simplest form, is basically the following.

SLAC is an accelerator laboratory still.

And part of the geoengineering scheme is to say,

In the collisions between two protons at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, billions of particles and antiparticles are produced every second.

Minute particles are hardly visible to the naked eye.

They don't produce different musical notes.

Make high quality aluminum particles just by spraying aluminum vapor out, which oxidizes.

Just think of the proton as an assemblage, a swarm, of little particles.

Number of particles

Particles

But it didn't sit well with my logical side either.

Tiny particles in the air can cause cancer.

You probably already know everything is made up of little tiny things called atoms or even that each atom is made up of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons and electrons.

It's not good stuff, and it's from inefficient combustion, not from combustion itself.

The particle has an X, a Y, and a heading direction, and this particle is on a checker board with black squares and white squares.

These are little wells.

Particle size

One or both, who knows? Or it could be something completely different.

And less sunlight reaching the surface would tend to cool the planet.

The analogy is that these people in a room are the Higgs particles.

In the world of physics, they call appearance of the matter out of nothing,

What's that?

But then I found out that there were all sorts of papers already published that addressed this topic because it happens already in the natural atmosphere.

Particle Fountain Setup

And we came up with this analogy, and it seemed to work.

We have really no idea.

And you see the amount of detail that is in those rings, which are the particles.

Let me play this again.

This is the essence of particle filters.

What's an elementary particle?

It has a very small mass and negative electric charge.

You have to normalize in the 2nd.

It ignores measurements, because the measurement sets the weighting factor in this resampling process, but with only 1 particle the same particle will be resampled no matter what.

Nuclei and nuclear reactions, of course.

Some, like aluminum oxide, tends to sequester the moisture.

And every time they do that, they get a tiny little packet of energy.

In fact, it is completely uncertain as to where it is.

What I'll do next is to give you another program assignment.
