And you can also do something similar with ice-cream sticks -- it is called the "stick bomb." Neither can generate the kind of chain reaction that the mousetrap bomb can create, the kind that can simulate an atomic explosion or the Hubbert curve. Maybe it could be done with bottles of thinner or sound triggered alarm systems? I don't know. Maybe you can think of something?Ugo Bardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231859786466899924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-71592819854140821262022-07-15T20:58:26.312+02:002022-07-15T20:58:26.312+02:00Hello Ugo,

In 2-D or in 3-D. <br /><br />I think there are many objects with these properties.<br />Would it work with bottles of thinner? Sound-triggered alarm systems? <br /><br />Or did I miss something? <br /><br />Peace,<br /> GoranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-45111368243796580222022-07-13T12:31:30.703+02:002022-07-13T12:31:30.703+02:00Hmm!

So that must be why pop star "Savage" (Roberto Zanetti) mangled our beautiful English language in his 1983 pop song: <br /><br />"Just a random access memories of dreams<br />As you're hangin' upon me, do you love melody?<br />Thief of golden toys to an upset time away<br />As we're human being at last we have the melody, we too."<br /><br />No, I don't know what it means either. :-(<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TymTB14iqokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802532439204711297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-72433628602292925412022-07-12T21:12:20.050+02:002022-07-12T21:12:20.050+02:00As we use to say in Italy, "Dio stramaledica ...As we use to say in Italy, "Dio stramaledica gli inglesi!"Ugo Bardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231859786466899924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-34923278798477999312022-07-12T13:03:24.011+02:002022-07-12T13:03:24.011+02:00So from the country that gave us the Roman Empire,...So from the country that gave us the Roman Empire, crucifixion, Catholicism, burning at the stake, the Inquisition, the Mafia and Fascism, we now have a mad genius who has constructed a powerful mouse-trap bomb. Nothing good can come of this. Joe Biden must surely now add Italy to his list of terrorist states. Perhaps Ugo is planning to target some small neighbouring country such as Malta. After all, Malta is a member of the British-inspired Commonwealth of Nations, and you know how Ugo is always fulminating against "perfidious Albion" (a bit of a cheek when you consider what Italy has got up to over the centuries). And after Malta, I suspect Ugo will want to "liberate" British Indian Ocean Territory.<br /><br />As for those red, white and green subatomic particles, Ugo is behind the times. Here in perfidious Albion, I happen to own a few trillion very rare multi-coloured ones. I keep them in a jam jar and they are very valuable. I plan to sell them on eBay, but if Ugo sends me a postal order for two billion lire before the end of the week, they could be his. ;-)khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802532439204711297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-52576081756442617682022-07-12T11:34:54.609+02:002022-07-12T11:34:54.609+02:00The weakness in Richard Sutton's Mousetrap exp...<b>The weakness in Richard Sutton's Mousetrap experiment is exactly that of the earlier encountered by Boltzmann - overlooking the initial Energy that made the whole system - a one piece....<br /><br />The West needed to realise earlier - fossil fuels shouldn't be socialised among the masses.</b><br /><br />Instead, extracted fossil fuels must have been kept - to the absolute minimum.<br /><br />The masses, no more than 1.5 billion then in the 1860s - at max - would have had their lives progressed organically - like how it has been evolving - since the antiquity - no harm done...<br /><br />The West itself would have had more time to understand - what's going on...<br /><br />How fossil fuels can drive the population crazy, how fossil fuels, once extracted, would never allow humans less extracting fossil fuels - until the reserves are gone...<br /><br />Shame, the West didn't take its time - before fossil fuels have hypnotised it - to go a Communist - socialising fossil fuels among the masses....<br /><br />Richard Sutton's Mousetrap should have been thought of - before the West embarked on the mass extraction of fossil fuel, not now when the reserves are almost gone...<br /><br /><b>Controlling humans with fossil fuels - is a lose-lose endeavour - no matter how perception-control seems now doing well - for a while...</b><br /><br />At the end, the synthetic perception vanishes - and fossil fuels reserves - too....<br /><br />Can humans force time to go backward - and fix their biggest error of judgment - ever?<br /><br />This is exactly the question humans raised since Gilgamesh.<br /><br />How come after thousands of years and burning all fossil fuels reserves to the ground - humans still ask the same Gilgamesh's question?<br /><br />"<a href="https://the-fifth-law.com/pages/press-release?ugo=https://thesenecaeffect.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-mousetrap-mystery-fascinating-story.html" rel="nofollow">Energy, like time, flows from past to future</a>"<br /><br />Wailing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
