Dr. Stone chapter 1D Trivia post

Spoilers ahead

We knew there was a slippery slope but we didn't know which one it was.

First things first, as we saw, Kaseki was not dead after all, and neither was Francois.

This clears things from chapter 232.5 (Dr. Stone Terraforming) where Kaseki was not shown at all, and although Francois was shown to be at the plane at the moment of the crash, they were never shown to be rescued.

We do get a glimpse at Senku throughout his lifetime (hypothetically at least). The pictured time machine, just like the large one they are building, features the telltale disk from the movie "The time machine" (duh) from 1960, based on a novel by H.G. Wells, written in 1895.

We also see him using a bunch of yagi antennas again, as well as a small satellite dish, all pointed in different directions in his homebrew setup, perhaps in an attempt to catch the signal regardless of which direction it's coming from. A concern I've heard is why would Byakuya contact Senku's future attempt but not the one from his childhood, and the answer likely boils down to the technology. As Xeno said they used a specialized detector to spot tiny bursts of petrification beam

I am not sure what such a detector might entail, but since the petri beam involves a flash of light, perhaps something like a photomultiplier tube could do it, as they can detect individual photons

The Tokyo Sky Tree is a radio tower, housing a restaurant and an observation deck, it is also the tallest manmade structure in Japan with a height of 634 meters, or 532.7 times the canon height of Suika in chapter 178.

Here it looks like they've drawn the wrong design for the medusa capsule, this one has a speaker on the inside like the original that was sent to the moon, whereas once whyman was discovered, they changed the design to one with a small antenna in its place, and a speaker/microphone on the outside for them to communicate.

This is what I feel like in university

Yes we are

next up, energy

1.21 Exawatts has no basis I know of other than being a reference to the 1.21 Gigawatts used by the time machine from Back to the Future. 1 exawatt = 1000000000 gigawatts, so I guess Dr. Brown's machine was actually very fuel efficient.

The (exa)watt is technically not a unit of energy but rather of the rate of energy transfer (or how fast energy's being delivered in layman's terms).

I assume he means (exa) watt-hours, a multiple of the watt-hour, which is an energy unit handy for working with electricity calculations. This amount of energy is equivalent to a bit shy of 900000 megatons of TNT. However, if you could capture 100% of the sun's output (and I mean all of it, a la dyson sphere, not just what hits the earth, and with 100% efficiency) and store it, you could collect that amount of energy in just under 30 seconds. This amount is also probably larger than the consumption of humanity over the last 60 years. It is in fact larger than the energy consumed wordwide between 1800 and 2010 by a factor of about two, going from adding and converting the data here.

Helium 3 is an isotope of helium with a nucleus made of 2 protons and 1 neutron (unlike normal helium which consists of 2 and 2 of each).

Because it's a very light gas, it tends to float away from the earth and get swept off into space much like regular helium does, and it is believed that larger amounts of it will be available on the moon, where it is formed naturally in a slow but steady supply when natural lithium is bombarded with neutrons from cosmic rays. Helium 3 can theoretically function as fuel in a fusion reactor, having the advantage that it does not release neutrons in the reaction, meaning it does not bombard other materials inside the reactor making them radioactive (and He-3 is not radioactive itself either).

The big issues are its low availability and the fact that a reactor for this fuel would need even higher temperatures than the reactors we are experimenting with today, and we are barely starting. On that note, Tsukasa eating chip

These robots are very strange, they walk on their claws, only having wheels at the back and carrying what looks a lot like an old time minecart. If anyone knows what the name Johnny 7 might be referring to, let me know. So far I can see that there was a sentient robot named Johnny 5 in the 1986 film Short Circuit, which looked like this.

I could also note that the robots have "Battery A" and "Battery B" noted on them.

It might just be a coincidence, but I like to think it might be a nod to an early project in the series, the cellphone.

The cellphone had two battery packs, the lead acid pack to run the vacuum tube filament, and Gen's manganese battery pack, which ran the tube anode. Historically these two battery packs were designated "A" and "B".

For the record this is also the reason you can buy AAA, AA, C, and D size cells, but no B batteries. Those batteries used to exist, but they don't anymore, since the equipment they powered is long obsolete. Next up, Chrome has a flashback to Ruri's flashback.

Kirisame's headpiece has reverted to the seldom seen spiral horn version, she is most typically seen with the one shaped like cat ears.

Next up:

No, I will not apologise

This does not seem to be the same restaurant mentioned in chapter 43, though I guess it could have changed, since Senku seems older (might it be the restaurant in the sky tree?)

Also Senku puts on Byakuya's coat that was on the back of his chair.

Speaking of chapter 43...

Ukyo is not well

It's no longer Nanami Corp, it's just Ryusui

To conclude, my take on what is happening

It's been hinted multiple times that we may see the involvement of alternate timelines, which comes as an answer to the occurence of a paradox if Senku were to travel back in time or even just contact himself. The title of the chapter comes to echo this. Higher dimensions have been a bit of a popular topic lately with people making games in four dimensions, etcetera. This however is not that by the looks of it, the fourth dimension mentioned would be an additional time dimension, which can be interpreted as the existence of convergent or divergent timelines. One of the less obvious things that remain to be seen is how Byakuya (or someone pretending to be him) knew when and where to contact someone in a different timeline. We also don't know where in time they are located. It is assumed at first that the incoming message is from the future but if we are dealing with a parallel universe it may as well be coming from the past or even be coming in in "real time" (as if such concepts of relative time held up in multidimensional time).

Personal Issues with Witchcraft and Worship

I’ve been trying to figure out how I wanted to word this for my own documentation and I think I’ve figured it out. I haven’t been practicing for very long, but I struggle with the way that other people practice vs what is realistic and practical for me as person, based on both my abilities and preferences. I know that everyone’s practice is unique, but it’s difficult when I WANT to do some of these things and either can’t or don’t. The biggest one for me is a connection to nature. I think nature is beautiful and I have a huge appreciation for it, but the only nature I’ve ever felt comfortable being in is the ocean, and occasionally just being outside in the winter. I have EDS, a connective tissue disorder that affects every part of my body and hinders the way I can comfortably interact with nature. I can’t regulate my body temperature, and heat and humidity ramps this up x100, so being outside if it’s not overcast and 40 degrees out is exhausting, painful, and potentially dangerous. I also have intense reactions to bug bites, which seem to happen nearly every time I leave the house anymore. Particularly since I work with and worship the sun god and the hunt goddess, this lack of connection to nature sometimes makes me feel lacking, even though I appreciate my deities and nature in my own ways. I still wish I could, and have tried repeatedly, to comfortably exist outside and it just…doesn’t work for me.

Smaller things include things like smoke cleansing and meditation. With smoke cleansing in particular, it’s not a big deal because I usually use spray and sound cleansing instead, but I still wish I could do it because it’s apart of both the culture I come from and the practices I follow. I find meditation doesn’t work for me because I usually spend a decent amount of time daydreaming and being in my own head, so meditation is almost too easy for me and doesn’t always have the desired effect. I’ve seen different takes on mediation in different spiritual spaces, but it comes up a lot in books I’ve read and it’s just something that I don’t connect with as much.

This last one is totally on me, but I also wish I had more of an irl community. A small portion of this is because I can’t always afford some of the events that are put on by local metaphysical stores, but mostly it’s because I’m kind of…not quite afraid to, but something like that. I’m worried of coming off as shy and ignorant, which I know practically that I probably won’t but I do worry about it, and I also worry about telling people about it. I live with my partner and while he’s not a mean or judgmental person towards me, he’s definitely a skeptic and doesn’t believe in anything he can’t see. While I don’t think he’d be mean or anything if I were to go to an event (hell, he went to an event labeled Pagan Picnic with me because they had a bunch of vendors), I don’t really want to have the conversation about beliefs with him since this has largely developed after we started dating because I feel uncomfortable about it. I wish I could just go and avoid the conversation completely, you know? I don’t know.

But yeah, I wanted to make this post both for myself, so that I can hopefully look back on this in the future and have moved past some of this, but also to point out how people with disabilities and other health issues don’t always practice the same way that able bodied people do, in more than just low energy ways.

ok so as i'm writing this it's about two hours before this is supposed to post for the week and i'm not gonna write a full article so here's a bit about in universe transportation

Most transportation in done with standard spacecraft that you would expect from a sci-fi setting but also there are devices for faster-than-light travel however none of them are perfect. There are two main methods to travel at a pace that makes the story possible, there is a standard "put a bunch of energy into a thing to go fast" approach and then there's travelling through The Slip.

To travel in a safely there are specialized devices that (if properly powered) can manipulate space-time. These typically require an amount of power that some would describe as absurd so in all but extreme cases with essentially unlimited power you will need a very large capacitor along with a fusion reactor to be able to create the required energy (these components are also prone to occasionally explode but that's just the cost of the safer method.) Once powered the device can, to a small extent, manipulate space-time and make the ship that you are piloting go "really fucking fast."

The other, faster, and much more dangerous method is to go though The Slip. This requires a similar amount of power to enter The Slip, which is essentially an alternate dimension where distance is all fucked up. 90% of the time the distance will be a lot shorter but 10% of the time the distance will be wayyyyy longer. And even if the distace is shorter that dosen't mean the risk is over yet. Some people never exit The Slip, some have freak accidents hours or days after exiting that leave them dead or worse. Some report strange sounds on the hull of the ship, clawing and scratching and banging and knocking and screaming for help. Anybody who makes contact with the source of the noise is never seen again. But hey! That's just the cost of cheaper prices at the store! And either way the delivery drivers get paid a bit more from it.

#1087 Are big leaves better than small leaves?

Are big leaves better than small leaves? It depends on where the plant is, the temperature, the amount of water, the altitude, the amount of UV light, and several other factors. Not all plant leaves are green, but all plants have leaves. Those leaves can be big, small, long, short, fat, thin, and many other shapes as well. Each shape of leaf has evolved to suit the environment that the tree is growing in. Plants are autotrophs, which means that they are able to produce their own food using sunlight and some other chemicals. The rest of us are heterotrophs because we cannot make our own food from sunlight. In fact, there are three trophic levels. Plants are the first level and they convert the sunlight into energy. Herbivores are the second trophic level and they break down the energy in the plants. Then carnivores are the third trophic level and they take the easily accessible energy from the bodies of herbivores. To make energy from sunlight, plants use their leaves. The chlorophyll pigment gives the leaves their color but it also absorbs the sunlight. The plant then combines that sunlight energy with carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, which it can then store in its root system. A byproduct of this process is oxygen. Because they use their leaves to make energy, it would seem logical that a bigger leaf would be able to make more energy, but that is not always true. There is a balance between how much energy the leaf can make and all of the things that can damage the leaf. Plants have to balance the amount of sunlight, the temperature, the amount of water, the amount of UV radiation, the altitude, and the amount of wind. One of the biggest factors that dictates leaf size is the amount of sunlight that is available. If all things are equal, trees tend to grow larger leaves if there is less sunlight. This could be because they are in a usually cloudy area, or it could be because they are surrounded by other trees and they have to compete for the sunlight. A larger leaf has a larger surface area and is more able to catch sunlight. However, things are not always equal and the amount of sunlight isn’t the only factor. Plants have to take into consideration the temperature of the environment they are living in. If the air temperature is very hot, leaves will be small because larger leaves can lose more water than smaller ones. The more surface area that a leaf has, the more space there is for water to evaporate from. Plants need sunlight, but they also need water. The leaves on cacti are very small because of this. The cactus has balanced how much sunlight it can take in with how much water it is willing to lose to evaporation. On the other hand, leaves in cold environments will also be small because it is more difficult to regulate the temperature in a large leaf and they can lose heat too easily. That is why the leaves on evergreen trees are short, thin needles. There is a risk of cold and frost damage with large leaves. This can generally be seen because the size of leaves decreases as you head north or south from the equator. Plants that live in very warm and very wet areas, like rainforests, have the largest leaves because they don’t have to worry about water loss through evaporation and they don’t have to worry about heat loss at night because the temperature doesn’t drop that far. Plants also have to account for the amount of UV radiation coming from the sun. As altitude increases, the atmosphere gets thinner and it is less effective at stopping UV radiation. Plants want the energy that sunlight sends, but they can only deal with so much of it. That is one of the reasons why most plants are green. They absorb the light in the lower end to the middle of the visible spectrum and reflect anything higher. It has more energy, but more energy isn’t always a good thing. That is the same with UV radiation. It has a lot more energy than visible light and can be very harmful to plants. The energy can cause irreparable damage to cells and can damage proteins. If there is too much UV light, the plant could die. To counter this, plants at high altitude where there is more UV light have smaller and much thicker leaves. They need to reduce their surface area and the thickness serves as an extra layer of protection. Plants also have to take the weather into account as well. In places with strong winds or heavy rains, plants will usually have smaller leaves because bigger leaves risk getting broken off. The same in places with lots of snow. So, it is a balancing act. Plants have to balance the optimal amount of sunlight they can get while reducing the risk of damage to themselves. And this is what I learned today.

Exploring Hydraulic Units: The Powerhouse Behind Modern Machinery

Hydraulic systems are the unsung heroes in numerous industries, quietly powering everything from construction equipment to manufacturing machines. At the heart of these systems lies the hydraulic unit—a critical component that provides the muscle behind many mechanical operations. Without hydraulic units, the heavy lifting, precise movements, and powerful outputs needed in industrial, automotive, and construction settings would be nearly impossible to achieve.

What is a Hydraulic Unit?

A hydraulic unit, also known as a hydraulic power unit (HPU), is the core power source for a hydraulic system. It generates the pressurized fluid required to operate hydraulic machinery. Whether you're operating a forklift, crane, or manufacturing press, the hydraulic unit pumps hydraulic fluid to actuators and motors, providing the force needed for movement or control.

A hydraulic unit typically consists of the following components:

Motor: Powers the hydraulic pump.

Hydraulic Pump: Converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by moving the fluid.

Reservoir: Stores the hydraulic fluid.

Valves: Control the direction, pressure, and flow of the hydraulic fluid.

Filters: Ensure that the hydraulic fluid remains clean and free from contaminants.

Accumulators: Store energy and provide an additional power boost when necessary.

How Does a Hydraulic Unit Work?

A hydraulic unit operates based on Pascal's Law, which states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure is transmitted evenly in all directions. In practical terms, this means that a small amount of hydraulic fluid, pressurized by the pump, can generate significant force to power a hydraulic cylinder, motor, or other actuating components.

Here’s a simplified breakdown of how a hydraulic unit works:

Fluid Pressurization: The motor drives the hydraulic pump, which pressurizes the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir.

Fluid Transmission: The pressurized fluid is then transmitted through hoses or pipes to the actuators (like hydraulic cylinders or motors).

Actuation: The actuators use this pressurized fluid to create motion, such as lifting a crane arm or pushing a piston.

Fluid Return: Once the motion is completed, the fluid returns to the reservoir, completing the cycle and getting ready for the next task.

Types of Hydraulic Units

Fixed Hydraulic Units: These are stationary power units typically found in factories and large-scale industrial applications. They are designed for constant use, providing steady, reliable hydraulic power for machinery like presses, conveyors, or automated manufacturing systems.

Portable Hydraulic Units: Smaller, portable units are often used in mobile applications, such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, or even hydraulic rescue tools. These units are designed to be more compact and mobile, providing flexibility in remote or hard-to-reach locations.

Mini Hydraulic Units: These compact units are designed for small, specific applications where space is limited but precise control is required. They are used in industries like automotive, medical devices, and aerospace, where lightweight, high-performance hydraulic power is needed.

Key Advantages of Hydraulic Units

High Power Density: One of the primary advantages of hydraulic systems is their ability to generate significant force from relatively small components. Hydraulic units can create immense power, making them ideal for heavy lifting, pressing, or any application that requires a lot of force in a compact space.

Precision Control: Hydraulic systems allow for fine-tuned control over speed, force, and direction. This makes hydraulic units highly useful in applications where precision is key, such as in manufacturing machinery, CNC machines, and robotics.

Efficiency: Hydraulic units can be incredibly efficient when designed correctly. They use the energy of the fluid to perform tasks without requiring large amounts of electrical power.
