[02:48:36] Oh no . . . How did this get published? https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10509-019-3615-z [02:49:50] For context: McCulloch is an oceanographer by PhD. [02:51:21] Though, for what it's worth, Astrophysics and Space Science only has an impact factor of 2.401. [02:53:12] And this, through McCulloch's own words, is what he's about: http://physicsfromtheedge.blogspot.com/2014/01/mihsc-101.html [02:54:30] "MiHsC predicts that when you suddenly accelerate something (eg: spin a disc very fast) the disc, and objects nearby, should gain a bit of inertial mass and to conserve momentum they will move anomalously: a new way to move things." [03:00:12] Action: UmbralRaptop pokes Springer with a stick [03:00:39] McCulloch's also a *huge* EmDrive supporter, albeit only in that he thinks it proves his, "theory". [03:02:51] Though he is to physics as Jared Diamond (an ornithologist) is to pop-history. [03:04:40] emdrive is something I hope is actually workable but I don't "automically belive" it [03:05:38] At the moment, the whole thing's been pretty conclusively disproven. [03:06:50] The one paper that was registering thrust and was *not* retracted also made no attempt to quantify sources of error, and the papers that did do so also determined the "thrust" was not really thrust. [03:08:27] Said paper was also written with word salad like the MiHsC stuff, just replace everything with, "quantum vacuum plasma" or something.

[15:45:33] huh. a craft's "persistenId" in persistent.sfs - should that be unique? I've got two vessels with the same ID. might be a symptom or a cause of my NaN troubles with Kerbalism [15:46:13] otoh, with KerbalismConfig removed, both behave normally and have their normal mass and dV [15:48:00] nope, that wasn't the problem, either. oh well
