Symmetric convolution is a specific type of convolution operation that maintains symmetry in its kernel or filter. In general, convolution is a mathematical operation that combines two functions to produce a third function. It is commonly used in signal processing, image processing, and various fields of mathematics and engineering.

In topology and algebra, a **topological homomorphism** generally refers to a mapping between two topological spaces that preserves both algebraic structure (if they have one, like being groups, rings, etc.) and the topological structure. The term is often used in the context of topological groups, where the objects involved have both a group structure and a topology.

Sergei Odintsov is likely a reference to a prominent Russian researcher and scientist known for his work in theoretical physics, particularly in the fields of cosmology and gravitation. He has contributed to various studies related to dark energy, modified theories of gravity, and cosmological models.

SPT0418-47 is a distant galaxy that was discovered using data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and other observatories. This galaxy is notable because it is one of the most distant known galaxies observed to date, located roughly 12.4 billion light-years away from Earth.

Gas lasers are a type of laser that generates light through the excitation of gas molecules or atoms. In these lasers, an electric current or another energy source is used to excite the gas, leading to the population inversion necessary for laser action. The excited gas then emits light as it returns to a lower energy state.

A QRA locator is a specific type of locator used in amateur radio to denote a geographical location. It is part of the QRA grid system, which is a coded method for identifying locations based on a combination of letters and numbers. Each QRA locator typically consists of a combination of four characters: two letters followed by two numbers (e.g., "FN31").

Katalin Bimbó is not a widely recognized name or term, and there might not be publicly available information about a person or entity by that name.

The gamma function, denoted as \(\Gamma(z)\), is a generalization of the factorial function that extends its definition to all complex numbers except the non-positive integers. It is defined for positive real numbers \(z\) by the following integral: \[ \Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1} e^{-t} \, dt \] The gamma function has several important values, particularly at positive integers and half-integers.

Geodesists, professionals who specialize in geodesy—the science of measuring and understanding the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field—come from a wide variety of nationalities. This field is practiced globally, and geodesists can be found in many countries, with significant contributions from nations such as: 1. **United States**: Home to numerous organizations and universities specializing in geodesy.

GRB 790305b is a significant astronomical event classified as a gamma-ray burst (GRB). It was detected on March 5, 1979, by the Earth-orbiting Vela satellites, which were originally designed for monitoring nuclear test ban compliance. This GRB is notable because it was one of the first gamma-ray bursts to be identified and cataloged.

A plasma globe, also known as a plasma ball, is a device that demonstrates the properties of plasma, one of the four fundamental states of matter. The globe typically consists of a clear glass sphere filled with a low-pressure gas, often a mixture of noble gases like neon or argon. At the center of the globe is an electrode that generates high-frequency alternating current electricity. When the device is powered on, the electrode produces high-voltage ionization of the gas within the globe.

Geodesic deviation refers to the phenomenon in general relativity that describes how nearby geodesics—paths followed by free-falling particles—diverge or converge due to the curvature of spacetime. In a curved spacetime, even if an object starts out on a geodesic (which is the generalization of a straight line in curved space), the path of that object may not remain parallel to the path of a nearby object over time.

The Geodetic Observatory Wettzell, located in Bavaria, Germany, is a prominent research facility operated by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG), which is the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy of Germany. Established in 1995, the observatory specializes in geodesy, the science of measuring and understanding the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field, as well as how these properties change over time.

The African Geodetic Reference Frame (AFREF) is a framework developed for accurately referencing geographic locations and measurements across the African continent. It provides a standardized coordinate system that allows for consistent positioning, mapping, and navigation throughout Africa, facilitating various applications in fields such as surveying, geodesy, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and scientific research. AFREF is designed to enhance interoperability among different national and regional geodetic systems in Africa.

The Normalized Difference Red Edge Index (NDREI) is a remote sensing index used to assess vegetation health and monitor plant stress. It leverages the reflectance properties of plants in the red edge region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is typically found between the red and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. The red edge is particularly sensitive to changes in chlorophyll content and leaf structure, making it an effective indicator for analyzing vegetation conditions.

Gravimetry satellites are specialized satellites used to measure variations in Earth's gravitational field. These variations can reveal important information about the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior and surface, including variations in mass distribution due to geological features, oceanic currents, and changes due to human activity. Key functions and principles of gravimetry satellites include: 1. **Gravitational Measurements**: They measure tiny differences in gravitational acceleration at different points on Earth’s surface.

The Anglo-French Survey was a significant geodesic survey conducted between 1784 and 1790 with the objective of precisely measuring the arc of a meridian from Dunkirk in France to Torquay in England. This survey was part of a broader effort to establish a more accurate understanding of the size and shape of the Earth, ultimately contributing to the development of the metric system.

Slab pull is a geological process that describes the movement of tectonic plates, particularly the oceanic lithosphere, as it subducts into the Earth's mantle. This phenomenon occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced under another. As the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle, it pulls the rest of the plate along with it, creating a pulling force. This mechanism is significant in explaining the dynamics of plate tectonics.

The Swedish grid, or the Swedish national grid, refers to the system of geographical coordinates used in Sweden. It is primarily based on the Swedish National Grid (Swedish: "Svensk Nationell Grid") or SWEREF 99 TM (Transverse Mercator), which is a projection system designed to provide accurate positioning for mapping and navigation within the country.

Natural language diversity is beautiful, but useless.

The fact that in poor countries a huge number of people do not speak the economically dominating language of the world, the lingua franca, English as of 2020, is a major obstacle to the development of those countries.

Despite us being in the information age, the people in those countries cannot fully benefit from it at all!

Teaching its people English should be the number one priority of any country. Without that, there can be no technological development. Everything else is secondary and can be learnt off the Internet once you know English.

And the most efficient way to do that, is that every country should create amazing free open source English learning material for their own language.

European countries are perhaps the most perfect example of how many languages destroy once powerful countries: Section "European Tower of Babel"

The Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is bullshit outside of poetry, and the ending of Arrival (2016) makes one want to puke, where learning a language changes not only your brain, but also Ciro's precious "laws" of Physics!

Much more likely are To Serve Man/A Small Talent for War events which we have already seen countless times!

Remember that those ideas come from a person who speaks 3.5 languages in 2019, and sees absolutely no practical difference between them.

Of course, like all non-constructed languages, English is not fully optimal in terms of regularity and information density. It could be argued that other languages are better in those aspects.

For example, Ciro does believe that spoken Chinese is a better language than English overall from a purely "ease of learning from scratch point of view" as mentioned at: github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/tree/6fdeb5aa3826c69f7c058de4e6f652a6924bc08a#does-ciro-santilli-speak-chinese. Chinese writing is completely insane of course, completely out of the question.

However, Ciro just doesn't think that the difference is that great to justify replacing English which is already dominant. How much more efficient can a perfect constructed language be than English? 1.01? 1.001? Such margins don't matter. Once you have learnt it young, it's done, for good.

English-based a posteriori constructed languages that regularize English further are perhaps the only reasonable alternative, like how C++ evolved from C by creating a low cost upgrade path. Although in practice they will never take off unless a dictatorship rules the world:

One interesting anecdote is that Ciro met his wife in French, and talking to her primarily in English feels really weird, so language does matter in love.

Different languages might also good at producing interesting diverse touristic locations, with different diverse and interesting foods. Because that's what tourism is all about. The exotic. The unique. And therefore, also necessarily the inefficient.
