The Unlikely Buddha

A team of MIT physicists has created the first-ever "zombie" electron crystal, a material that could lead to the development of new types of superconductors. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, and they have the potential to revolutionize many industries, including transportation, power transmission, and medicine. The new zombie electron crystal is made of a material called samarium nickelate, which has a special atomic arrangement that traps electrons in a flat band of energy. This means that the electrons are unable to move freely, and they behave like zombies – they are still alive, but they are very slow and unresponsive. The researchers believe that the flat band of energy could give the zombie electron crystal special properties, including superconductivity. They are currently testing the material to see if it can conduct electricity with zero resistance. If the zombie electron crystal is found to be a superconductor, it coul...

Whatever happened to the lives we had? It was easy keeping people fed But now they cry There has to be a change Whatever happened to the virgin land? Now we're left with barely space to stand The time has come To open up our eyes And if everyone Simply learns from the things we've done Before there's no place to run...you know Every man wants to sleep at night He wants to feel secure and It's still the same for every man Every man must be prepared to fight Now that we understand it Let's make it safe for every man People standing in a welfare line Don't they know it's a waste of time They can't survive Left hungry in the cold How much longer can we make believe That the air is really fit to breathe? We can't sit by And watch our futures fold Have we lost our souls? Are we digging a deeper hole? Then it's time that we took control, you know Every man wants to sleep at night He wants to feel secure and It's still the same for every man Every ma...

  We've been searchin' up and down this weary country Worn out, looking for ways that we can feed our hungry We were told the streets were paved with gold And the future would be ours to hold But we've seen the dream get bought and sold In the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard all these promises before In the promised land We try to be faithful to our true convictions But there's so much danger in the heart's addictions We were told that we could have it all Now our backs are up against the wall As we stand looking at the rise and fall In the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard all these promises before Smoldering ice Concrete and steel Rebuild the dream that no longer seems real Tell me where did we go wrong And what will it take To heal this condition Before it's too late In the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard...

Love, if you don't know by now What's in my heart If you're in doubt Let me straighten you out If you were to leave What would I do In a world without you Don't walk away if all you need to hear Is a pledge of my devotion Let me make it clear Girl, without your love What would become of me I would be half a man That's the cold reality If the reason was gone To wake up and carry on I'd rather die Than live without your love You can believe when I say That there's no one else Our love is strong So don't think something's wrong Just rest assured I need you more Than ever before

Upon the pane, a fleeting trace,  Words penned with breath, a misty embrace,  Like memories etched, they softly fade,  Ephemeral whispers, shadows evade. Like tendrils of smoke, they curl and rise,  Vanishing whispers, lost to the skies,  A tapestry of moments, woven with care,  Dissolving like dreams in the morning air. Names that once echoed, now silent and still,  Faces that danced, their laughter now nil,  Voices that sang, now muted and gone,  Yet their essence lingers, a lingering dawn. In the depths of our hearts, their stories reside,  Like treasures unearthed, they gently abide,  Though words on the window may fade from sight,  Their echoes resound, a beacon of light. The laughter of children, a symphony sweet,  The warmth of a hand, a comforting beat,  The wisdom of elders, their stories untold,  In the tapestry of time, their threads intertwine bold. Like whispers on wind, they gently impart,  The...

Instead of the UN and the World demanding a cease fire , why aren't you demanding that Hamas Surrender ? Their act started this war and the  suffering in Gaza -  and their act alone can end it. Or does that make too much sense? Unlikely Buddha Nov. 2023

It is possible to charge automobiles wirelessly, and there are a number of companies and research institutions working on developing and commercializing wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles (EVs). Here are some of the challenges that need to be addressed before wireless charging can be widely adopted for EVs: Efficiency: Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging, meaning that more energy is lost during the charging process. This is because some of the energy is converted into heat as the electric current passes through the coils in the charging pad and the receiver unit under the car. Alignment: The charging pad and the receiver unit need to be precisely aligned in order for the charging process to work. This can be difficult to achieve if the car is parked on an uneven surface or if it is windy. Cost: Wireless charging systems are more expensive than wired charging systems. This is because they require more complex electronics and components. Safety: Wire...
