tellurion

Fun. How long before we have TRON?

One of the response to that tweet has a before pic for comparison: https://twitter.com/intrepidpursuit/status/16490707601981317...

Electromagnetic field oscillating over time is radiation: radio waves, light, x-rays, etc.

So they are red shifting or blue shifting the photons? And sending the red/blue shifted photons with a very small time delay?

Side comment: This is the first time I've seen my preferred username used for its actually meaning. And I've been using it for almost 3 decades. Neat. I was going to use tellurian, which means an inhabitant of the earth, then saw that tellurion was sometimes used as an alternate spelling in an old Webster's dictionary I was looking through, and preferred it. And yes, I did search through a dictionary to find a username.

That's because of the way patent law is worded. I don't remember the exact wording (and i'm to lazy to look it up) but it's close to "a patent shall be granted except..." Basically, they have to grant the patent if they can't come up with a good reason not to. Perhaps changing the law to be worded "a patent shall not be granted except". Then require the applicants to show how their patent fits the requirements.
