New tachyon study
New tachyon study could unlock the secrets of time travel and reality
Interesting article published on Europe Says. I have asked on Mastodon where the link to this was posted, that if Tachyons have mass, if this should be factored in to the missing mass, which I think we are suggesting is filled with Dark Matter. So, another part of the hidden universe that has some mass. We are trying to account for where all the mass is located.
I don't fully understand the physics behind all this though.

STEAM Café ski run 1
At the STEAM café, we now have a Lego ski run. This is made from Lego, which forms the bulk of the model.
The actual ski run parts appears to be just plastic, however the rest is Lego, and is quite heavy, white to represent snow, and green represents grass or other plants.
I took this photo on the way to work, later in the day the model is now complete, so I will take and share a 2nd photo, and share here and on Mastodon.
One of the uses of this will be to demonstrate the relationships between friction and surfaces.

Why regime change is bad
The current situation in Iran seems almost like history is repeating. It is clear that there is an end game here, to remove the current Iranian regime, as with the ILLEGAL Iraq war in 2003 no actual plan to replace it with anything.
The USA, with help from the UK changed the regime in Iran before, setting off a chain of events, that has led to the current situation.
The west really can't be trusted, it has caused chaos in Afghanistan, the UK's actions led to the situation in Israel / Gaza / West bank.
This is what happens when the WEST, who think they know best, interfere with things and then walk away when the going gets tough. The UK is under a delusion it is the best in the world.
I have highlighted this article before
Time for a new strategy, KEEP OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES AFFAIRS.

STEAM Bots
At the STEAM café, there is another project on the go, we are looking at doing STEAM bots, these are robots built with Lego and Lego Mindstorms. However, as part of this, there is a plan for people to build their own and take on friends.
We have obtained proper arena for this as used on a UK tour a few years ago. So this is purpose built.
More details will come soon, so it is best to talk to the Mike at STEAM for more details.
In the meantime, the STEAM team are busy checking the pre-built robots over, replacing parts and checking everything works.
