In the nearly free electron model of a solid, the periodic potential is a small perturbation on the kinetic energy. Using degenerate perturbation theory this gives us splitting at the edge of the brillouin zone. I understand how this splitting comes about but then I have seen diagrams where there are multiple bands for all wave-vectors.
How do we get multiple bands for wave-vectors far away from the brillouin zone boundary?
Paper currency is nothing more than using energy to grow cotton, grind it up, liquify it, pressing that into paper of a specific type, bleaching the paper, dying the paper, adding security features, inking and then cutting it in to bills, or worse bills made of plastics, to be distributed via armed shipments in gas vehicles, to banks and ATMs, until worn out and destroyed.
The best part, some give it back to the bank to hide in a vault after all that, and just use the digital representation of that money in their bank account anyway which is managed in giant power hungry server facilities and any number of wasteful branch offices that paved over a green space.
All currencies burn natural resources to make and handle money, and crypto does it without the 100 wasteful carbon using and pollution producing steps required for paper currency and physical banks.
You can create crypto on renewable power and use the waste heat to keep your home warm, traditional money leaves a much bigger impact on the environment when you factor the entirety of waste in the industry and infrastructure it requires.
Please give the above a try with anyone you know saying otherwise, they won’t be open to hearing about crypto tech innovation, so focus on explaining how fiat and it’s infrastructure is an environmental disaster.
Cheers.
Edit: For those that pointed out cotton and plastic bills.
Edit: On the argument of not comparing or whataboutisim, to people that only hear about crypto as Bitcoin an know no details about crypto it’s helps to explain the energy comparison of things they do and can understand like an explain like I’m five post. If our goal is to replace traditional financial systems, that means all of their waste of space and physical resources as well, if every bank office tower, branch and attached parking lot was a park we would be better off.
Did you know you already have access to the free energy grid?
No, it can't run our homes or cars yet (those will be obsolete before we need to fuel them with free energy), but we can fuel our lives, re-energize our souls, and charge our bodies with it.
The grid of free energy is accessible to anyone through quantum entanglement supported by our connection to each other, Galactics Beings, the Multiverse, and Source Energy. Basically, Source Energy supports us, and we connect to it through our quantum entanglement with It and everything else. We create a web of energy that flows through all of us. The more connections we have the more access points we have.
We can access it at any time through intention.
The key to making it easy is this:
- Decipher your issue, problem, or obstacle.
- Decide what kind of energy you need to overcome it or tap into (i.e. studying for final exams might require stamina, focus, and determination).
- Center yourself and allow your energy field to connect to the intention. Focus on drawing that energy into your field, filling your body, mind, & soul with the energy boost you need. The intention set will allow the energy to be focused in the right direction.
- Use your energy as required. When complete, ground it back into the grid for someone else.
The more you practice, the easier it will get to connect, pull energy from the grid, and direct it to your purpose.
Caution: make sure to ground! or you might end up overwhelmed, overstimulated, frazzled, and burned out. Plus, sharing is caring. :)
So I just had someone come past as I was working out front and provide one of those new energy meter things you can use to track usage from your phone. After installing it the guy went through the motions of advising about this service called "Sumo" that would be cheaper than Lumo for my electricity. I asked the guy several times if I was actually being signed up as a customer or if they were just going to call and give me a quote as I had no desire to switch without reading all the fine print and everything myself. Every time I was told it was just for a call and they'd discuss options before moving me over.
I've gone and checked my email 30 mins after the guy left and I've got one from this Sumo company welcoming me as a new customer and telling me my current providers probably won't even contact me about the switch. I did not ask for this and specifically asked if it was just for a call to quote me on it.
I've tried calling their customer service number but it's after 4.30pm when they shut and I can't get in contact with anyone. I've got this entire conversation recorded on my security cameras with crisp audio as well so I have no problem backing up my claims.
How do I go about getting this fixed? I've clearly been told a lie and have had my account moved over without my authorisation.
So let’s say humanity figured out nuclear fusion and it is now relatively affordable to nations. How would this new technology affect the Bitcoin landscape?
Would really appreciate any thoughts and opinions.
Pretty much what the title says, I’m looking for some witchy/spiritual advice if that’s okay. Apologies if I can’t explain myself very well, it’s really hard to make sense in/of my head.
Basically, I feel stuck. My soul, my consciousness, my divine energy, whatever it may be, is stuck somewhere. I feel I have so much untapped…potential, energy and I can’t reach it.
I suffer with depression/anxiety and my head is a constant blur. It’s like a fog. I disassociate a lot as a subconscious coping mechanism and I feel like I am just on autopilot, a shadow of the me that I could be.
I can feel something calling out, something burning in my chest, screaming at me. I think it’s me, or the me I could be, but she’s screaming behind glass and I can’t hear what she’s saying.
I’m sorry if none of this makes sense. I’m just lost, and in the meantime I’m suffocating. I’ve recently begun my witchcraft/spiritual journey but I am so disconnected with myself that I, at risk of repeating myself, cannot reach the heights of my potential.
I can’t write. I can’t summon the force to meditate, do yoga, do crystal work…the worst part is that it’s turned me into a desperate, self-centred person. I’m suffocating so much that all I feel I talk about is myself. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a cry for help of some kind.
If anyone has any witchy/spiritual advice, I’d really be grateful to hear it. Thank you so much in advance ✨
I am writing this post to provide my thoughts on the effect of potentially earth shattering new physics that could be discovered if in fact the US Government (or other another country's government) has either: (A) Developed a new breakthrough technology in propulsion and energy, or (B) Reverse engineered this from some type of off world (or ultra-terrestrial) vehicle.
I've seen a lot of people making comments that effectively say "any sort of 'free energy' would collapse capitalism." While I have no crystal ball and cannot foresee the effects of this kind of technology being suddenly introduced to our society, I do not believe that it would be the total collapse of capitalism.
Whatever the technology may be, it would still need to be manufactured, would it not? A company would still need to manufacture and sell what ever the power apparatus was. It would also need maintenance perhaps, although that would be hard to predict since we don't even know the basis of this supposed technology. But I would assume that if we reverse engineered this tech, it would not be as good as the original. We would be doing our best with our own current materials and manufacturing methods. This means that since we do not have (yet) some of the exotic materials engineered at the atomic level that we assume these craft would use, we would have to come up with a "best we can do" material or a substitute. I am assuming (and we know what they say about assumptions) that our "best we can do" product will not be perfect. It will need maintenance over time. And accidents still happen. Some of these devices are bound to be destroyed via accidents or other reasons.
I believe that the collapse that will come would be with the traditional energy/petroleum companies. And yes that could absolutely fuck up the world economy at a large scale since globalization of energy is already causing us headaches. So we may end up with a worldwide recession after this happens, until things normalize again and the new technology becomes commonplace. I could see a very rough 10-20 year transition period, and then, life as usual. Just with clean 'free' power. Which I don't believe would be free really for the reasons stated above. I don't know about you all, but I don't have the tools in my garage to build exotic propulsion or energy devices that could power my home.
So those are my thoughts on this. I know I missed many things as this kind of disruption would be a VERY complicated w
... keep reading on reddit ➡I have basic electrician training. Can anyone suggest any sites where I can download and study solar energy for free? like where I can download and read at leisure. it will be easier for me to understand if it's with lots of pics and visual presentation. I tried learning from YouTube but I'm always distracted and can't concentrate much.
free energy is imposable
but what if you wrap the earth in a ring of magnets
then put a coil of wire in orbit
as earth spins
it will make power
and will all be free
ill take my noble peace prize now thanks
alternitvly you could just steal it from next door
“It is now possible for many people to enjoy watching TV whilst they are off-grid…Goodbye to electric wired home appliances. Welcome to the future with the world’s first Free Energy powered TV… The dawn of wireless self-powered gadgets is here!” were some of the exciting words from the innovator as he sounds futuristic with his breakthrough discovery.
