Review of United Nuclear Scientific Equipment and Supplies Trinitite

I bought some of their neodymium magnets a few years agone https://unitednuclear.com/alphabetize.php?main_page=index&cPath=70... They're pretty amazing to play with. For example, you tin can make a small one hop around in your manus past turning over another one relatively far away. Much more dramatic experiences than you get playing around with refrigerator magnets. The rubber warnings there are serious -- depending on the size, these magnets will be pulled toward each other with tens to hundreds of pounds of force, and they don't care what's in the way. Even the medium-sized ones that I got drew claret when they pinched me. (Equally with other magnets, the ones that are small enough to be swallowed would also exist a severe chance if a child swallowed them, although virtually on that page are much too big to eat. On the other hand, if you let some of the larger disc-shaped ones loose from far enough autonomously, they'll wing together with enough forcefulness to shatter!)

I managed to build a 0.9T Hall event measurement system with ii 1.five inch bore N52 magnets. The scariest part was successfully assembling the magnets into the yoke. If we made a mistake, could easily utilize a finger, or, if they impact, nosotros'd have to scrap everything and buy more to endeavor again considering you couldn't pull them apart.

It genuinely makes me happy that this exists. When I was a teenager this site felt so mysterious and cool. I wish there was more stuff like this in the earth. Side annotation: if you live in Phoenix: take a trip down to Apache reclamation quondam. They have a lot of chemical science gear, old lab equipment etc. It gives me a like feeling to wander around there. Bummer they're sold out of tshirts. Might have to bootleg my own!

There used to be a lot of surplus lab equipment and light industrial surplus shops in San Jose, CA and upwardly the peninsula into Silicon Valley when I went to schoolhouse in the 90s. Triangle comes to mind. I suppose rents and eBay put an finish to that.

This is Bob Lazar'due south company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar). What do people remember of the plausibility of his UFO claims? My cess is this: if the probability that he'south telling the truth is fat tailed enough (say roughly above 5%), then that's plenty to justify being extremely interested in what he has to say. Merely the #1 affair that makes me doubt his claims see this threshold is that he claims the arts and crafts he worked on violated the known laws of thermodynamics, which sends this probability to a mere epsilon over 0%. (Since how ofttimes are known laws of physics "changed", as opposed to being merely "extended")?

Bob Lazar has never produced any show that corroborates his story. He has never demonstrated that he has the level of cognition in physics that he claims he has. He has never produced a copy of his master's thesis. The colleges that he claim to have attended have no records of him graduating and no classmates nor professors accept said that they recollect him, nor tin can he provide the names of any of his classmates or professors. His claims are more than or less star trek technobabble and they're full of holes. For example, the location he gives for the location of the S-4 base puts information technology right on the border of the restricted air space around surface area 51 which is extremely odd for a top undercover projection that involves flying alien arts and crafts. He claims that a bus took him to this clandestine base, yet there don't appear to be any roads that are suitable for use past a bus. There's absolutely no evidence for any kind of underground base of operations there. The listing could keep and on.

The probability that he is telling the truth is far far smaller than 5%. I would say perhaps almost 5e-9. He conspicuously lied about having degrees from MIT and Caltech and people who are known to have fabricated such a major lie are surely much more than likely to be lying about other things. As for his UFO claims, it's not but that they fly in the confront of all accepted theories of physics but that the way he describes them has no connexion to our current understanding of physics. In other words to anyone with a real physics background they sound like absolute nonsense. This is why physicists like Stanton Friedman and Eric Davis, though themselves believers in the reality of the UFO phenomenon, were/are convinced he is lying.

I'm certainly no psychologist, but my impression from his Joe Rogan interview is that his story is fiction that he might believe. That possibly it'south a story he came to believe about himself as some sort of coping machinery to protect his ego in some way. I know some people who watched that video and concluded that he seems genuine, only for me information technology gave me a strong impression, a gut instinct, that he's been lying to himself for years.

> that his story is fiction that he might believe. Could also exist a psychosis. I had a brilliant friend in college that had a psychosis. He kept looking normal merely the stories he told were completely detached from reality. Over night he had several conspiracy like theories, contact with famous business concern CEO's, conversations with politicians, and was asked to run clandestine projects. When I saw Bob at Joe Rogan I immediately had to think of that friend back in the day.

From what the wikipedia article described, information technology sounds like the publicly-known relevant technology simply isn't far plenty along to annotate intelligently. e.g., the propulsion system was allegedly based on a stable isotope of element 115, just the best we can say is that of the isotopes nosotros've plant (and publicly described), we haven't yet found ane that's stable. If (large if) there were aliens on nearby star systems, it's fairly likely they'd follow something like to the Star Trek 'Prime Directive', which "prohibits Starfleet personnel and spacecraft from interfering in the normal development of whatever social club..." [one] If that were the case, their deportment would match fairly closely the supposed alien sightings that take been reported over the years. To me, that possibility is plenty to consider the general nature of his claims non outside the realm of what our species' encounters with aliens would look like. Tech that's a little to far beyond ours for us to analyze intelligently, encounters betwixt our governments and their emmissaries, occasional slip-ups and public sightings, etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Directive

...and apparently, going past a surprisingly sizable volume of the literature of abduction narratives, a whole lot of at all-time dubiously consensual butt stuff? I mean, forget the whole "aliens would definitely be a lot like Star Trek humans" matter, I want to hear how you explain the barrel stuff. Yes, I'chiliad poking fun, merely only a bit - whatsoever full general exegesis of modernistic alien visitation on Earth, that attempts to incorporate claims such as Lazar'south, really does demand to as well have a position on the butt stuff. So where practice you stand up on The Alien Butt Stuff?

I mean, it'south a off-white indicate. My stance on the Conflicting Butt Stuff? Fetishes. Alien butt fetishes. We have bigger butts than they do, and they want to have fun on their spare time. Or, we could construct an alternate theory based on the Conflicting movie and facehuggers. Butthuggers?

"Oh, we finished the medical research ages ago, at this indicate it's all merely about - I mean have you lot seen their asses?" Yeah, no, that checks out! I can only assume the aliens have failed to notice the existence of the Net. Either that, or they take noticed and now they're staying even more lowkey because information technology's that or stop upward buried nether a literal mountain of thirsty bottoms. Talk about an Area 51 raid... (Don't become me started on the Alien aliens. I mean, their reproductive cycle apparently takes strong inspiration from that of spider wasps, only parasitoidism only works reliably when the supply of hosts is unconstrained. Given the creatures' evident intelligence and their capacity for rapid and plainly directed adaptation via horizontal cistron transfer from their hosts, and given also the extensive diverseness of things that humans get horny most, yous'd really expect to run into a modus vivendi develop pretty quick, yous know?)

I can't believe your annotate about conflicting butt stuff got flagkilled and neither of mine got so much as a single downvote. I vouched yours, of grade, but I'1000 however insulted. I mean, what am I to the HN horny cops? Chopped liver?

I dunno, human. The Anti-Butt Brigade must non be the virtually consistent bunch. Re: a modus viviendi, though - I'd rather not encounter Globe become a sex tourism location for the local star systems. After a few generations of selective convenance, we'd all await like Kim Kardashian.

Eh. I see no reason to imagine that extraterrestrials so like to humans that they'd find whatever of the states sexy, would also be so different from humans that their tastes in such matters never varied. Or, at the very to the lowest degree, that they wouldn't be interested in the range, the sheer butt-buffet our species has to offer, rather than uniformly focused on some Ideal ideal of the dumptruck. That'due south what I'd promise, at least. Only you're even so right that in that location'southward a real risk here. Maybe that explains the weirdly targeted flagkill - non that I don't probably know one or two people who'd be here for that in theory, but from where I sit, it is a frightful prospect.

From memory he'south said that the conversion of antimatter in the supposed thermoelectric generator was near 100%. Perhaps he waved his hands and said 100%. On the other manus we've had something like 5 theories of gravity since the dawn of homo? Nosotros can easily have another i one-time...

A jewel of the cyberspace I call back from xv+ years ago when using AOL via telephone modem. When I was a teenager I bought some of the trinitite and uranium ore samples. Mailed them cash since that'due south all most teens had back then. Site still looks very much the same as it did other than a mobile friendly version available. Groovy source for various odds and ends. Especially for home science projects.

He used to take a guide on how to brand uranium hexafluoride, UF6, aka "yellowish cake". I presume he was "encouraged" to take it downwardly

I think you must accept meant on making UF6 from xanthous cake. Yellow block and UF6 are not at all the same matter.

Anyone know of a source of bulk (east.thousand. 20kg) uranium ore like United Nuclear used to sell? I e'er wanted to refine some when I was a teenager but by the time I actually had a way to spend money online they were sold out for practiced.
