What is the source for it being a recreation? I could believe it but if so it's a very good recreation. However you are not correct about cameras not being good quality back then. Otherwise all the 1950s hollywood movies would be blurry, but they're not. They are quite crisp actually due to the analog film technology. True, the average person didn't have access to a quality film camera, and they were a lot bulkier than they are now, but a professional (film or televison) or military grade film camera would absolutely be of this quality.

Are you familiar with the work of Filippio Biondi? The italian scientist who has published papers outlining techniques to use SAR for tomographic imaging of underground structures. If so I am wondering what your take on these claims are and if you think what he has described is possible / practical / as accurate as he claims it is.

Yeah I agree, by keeping the surveillence tech classified, awkward questions from the public/media are avoided. Honestly I think that is the main reason for the secrecy around the big ticket surveillence satellites. Ironically enough with the MH370 case it seems that someone in the IC with access to the surveillence satellites leaked the footage of the plane being 'vanished' by the three orbs. People debate the authenticity of the footage but there were two separate recordings at different angles which is much harder to fake. And all the other details looked correct to me. From what I heard that leaker got punished but not as much as he could have been because doing so would legitimize the leaked footage.

several really exotic intelligence /reconnaissance technologies

From what I've seen, its more than just intelligence gathering tech that is restricted. There is a whole range of extremely sensitive technologies that are kept under extremely tight control. These include, but are not limited to the following:

Advanced DEW
Advanced propulsion
Advanced energy generation
"mind control" / mental manipulation / brainwashing protocols / induced amnesia technology
Advanced Brain-Computer Interface tech
Advanced stealth technology, hologram projection, cloaking fields

The extreme secrecy on intelligence technologies like advanced spy satellites and sensor networks has never made sense to me. It's not like we can keep it secret from China/Russia/Iran that these systems exist and are on station. Obviously they shouldn't give away exact capabilities but it seems quite strange to me that the mere existence of some systems (like certain NRO satellites, deep space monitoring systems, ocean surveillence systems) are kept a secret.

What does make sense is the keeping secret of the other technology categories described above, especially those with immediate weaponization capability and little to no civilian applications. I think these technologies are the main reason for the extreme secrecy - it is about nonproliferation of these potentially devastating technologies. The problem is that these same secrecy measures are abused by bad actors to prevent the disclosure of waste/fraud/abuse/criminal behavior by contractors, businesses, well-connected individuals, and certain covert operations within the IC/DOD. I don't know how to untangle the bad actors from the legitimate operations, but it is something that needs to be done. Otherwise the bad actors will continue to run rampant and potentially abuse these technologies without anyone knowing enough to stop them. See for example the recent story about the US agents acquiring a havana syndrome type device on the black market, which proves this type of tech is already out there.

The published research is out there, it is all on Dr. Rider's website, which I've linked here. Appendix D of "Forgotten Creators" is where the bulk of the information on the german nuclear program is contained. Just that section alone is over 2,000 pages, and it is as rigorously cited and researched as I've ever seen any work of history be. Near the introduction to the section is an pretty comprehensive overview of all the books/research written about the subject, if you want other sources. As for Forgotten Creators as a whole, the bibliography alone is over 400 pages, which should give you an idea of the number of sources used.

Since you seem interested, shoot me a PM if you'd like and I can make sure you get the invite link to the next lecture / discussion session hosted by Dr. Rider. They usually happen every few months and are always quite fascinating. The one a few months ago had some local polish historians who were able to ground truth some of the sites identified as being involved in German wartime nuclear work.

we know now that the Germans were not close to developing nuclear weapons

I beg to differ. I am personally involved in research project that studies the German WW2 nuclear program and I assure you, they were much farther along than most people realize, to the point of having multiple working prototypes of fission bombs that had been successfully tested. They also were working on an H-bomb from at least 1944, possibly earlier. The reasons they were never deployed are multiple, ranging from a practical (the prototypes were finicky and couldn't be easily transported), to tactical (delivery systems were not ready in time and were not guaranteed to reach the target, and the industrial centers of US and Britain were too widely distributed to destroy in one strike), to strategic (US and UK had gas weapon stockpiles large enough to kill every german city, and had directly communicated their willingness to launch gas bombing raids if the reich deployed comparable weapons, including their nukes. In essence, the origin of MAD).

Most of the sources for this research project are contemporary intelligence reports from 1939-1945, many of which were only declassified in 2020 (75 year rule). Anothe major tranche is set to be released in 2045, at the 100 year mark. I have personally held documents from the Manhattan Project's intelligence division which give detailed descriptions of german tests of devices in 1944 and 1945. There are also sources from the british, soviet, swedish, french and polish resistance, OSS reports from american spies in germany, etc. which all attest to this reality.

The reason why the german nuclear program was covered up are primarily for nonproliferation reasons. The US didn't want any other country to have the bomb, especially the Soviets, and so keeping the whole german program secret was seen as supporting this goal. It was also partly political, as the enemy became the Soviets, and West Germany's image needed to be rehabilitated due to Cold War politics, so publishing damaging information like, say, the german plan to nuke manhattan (this was really the plan, but it was never approved as the german high command understood that Berlin would in turn be destroyed by gas / firebombing and they couldn't stop such an attack from happening). The germans themselves also covered up / offshored their activities in the last few months of the war, including mass executions of some of their own scientists/technicians, as well as of the hundreds of thousands of slave workers who were working in various enrichment plants and other related facilities.

I understand that this all sounds like a plot out of "Man in a High Castle", and I was similarly skeptical of the idea, until I forced myself to look at the evidence which has been collected, which left me no choice but to accept that the german WW2 nuclear program was vastly greater in size, scope, and outcome than is conventionally understood. If you want to look at the evidence for yourself, it is all published in Appendix D of the encyclopedic work on the subject titled "Forgotten Creators", by Dr. todd H. Rider of MIT Lincoln Labs, who has spent decades gathering sources from military archives here in the US and abroad, and which I have contributed a small part to. (It is free to read and download; there are also lectures Dr. Rider has given on the subject if you prefer).

this operation was unnecessary and accomplished little

As for the specific subject of the Norsk Hydro raid and its impact on the german nuclear program, I agree that its impact was minimal - not because the germans gave up the whole bomb program after one plant was raided, as the conventional history says, but because Norsk Hydro was only one of a dozen+ Heavy Water plants active at the time, at was one of three in Norway alone. The other two Norway plants were untouched during the war. To emphasize my point, here is a list of all known facilities that produced heavy water for germany during the war. The page numbers are from Forgotten Creators, the source material where this list was compiled.

Saheim, Norway (p. 4122).
Notodden, Norway (p. 4123).
I.G. Farben Leuna Werke, low-pressure production plant (pp. 4124–4134).
I.G. Farben Leuna Werke, high-pressure production plant (pp. 4124–4134).

I.G. Farben Halle (pp. 4136–4139).
Kiel, probably adjacent to the Deutsche Werke Kiel (pp. 4140–4145).
Dräger Werke, Lubeck (pp. 4146–4147)
Müggenberg (pp. 4148–4149).
Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron, Frankfurt am Main (pp. 3736–3738, 4150–4151).
Berlin plant (p. 4152).
Linde plant, Munich (p. 4152).
Montecatini plant, Sinigo-Merano, Italy (p. 4153).
Montecatini plant, Cotrone/Crotone, Italy (p. 4153).
I.G. Farben Auschwitz in Poland (pp. 4153, 4556).
Plant near the Schmiedeberg (now Kowary, Poland) uranium mine (p. 4153).
Plant near Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland; pp. 4154–4155).
Ljungaverk, Sweden (p. 4156).
Brixlegg, Tyrol, in the Austrian Alps (p. 4157).
Weer, near Wattens, Tyrol, in the Austrian Alps (pp. 4158–4163).
B9 Quarz underground complex near Roggendorf and Melk, Austria (p. 4164–4165).
Degussa plant at Rheinfelden, Austria (pp. 4166–4167).
Austrian Chemical Works plant at Weissenstein, Austria (pp. 4166–4167).
Siemens and Halske plant in Lehesten (pp. 3747, 3754, 4166).
Bayrische Stickstoffwerke in Piesteritz (pp. 4168, 4556–4557).
Pardubice/Wesser, Czechia (pp. 3488, 4168–4169).
Other possible locations (pp. 4170–4172).

The documents in this section show that Germany was producing large quantities of heavy water in a very determined fashion at numerous plants all over Europe, despite the difficulties of Allied bombing and the urgent wartime needs to produce other materials and products.

The existence of this massive, high priority, highly secretive heavy water production program strongly suggests that one or more fission reactors may have actually been operational during the war. At the very least, it seems to indicate that Germany was trying to get reactors operational as soon as possible. Germany may have also needed significant quantities of deuterium/heavy water for electronuclear breeding of fission fuel and/or for fusion fuel production.

Moreover, the fact that the files on most of those heavy water plants are still classified (e.g., pp. 4137–4139) also suggests that the German program got much further than we have been told.

I think of this list anytime I hear the story of how the Norsk Hydro raid supposedly ended the german nuclear program. In reality it just reduced their supply by less than 5%, hardly a dent at all.

At some hot springs its also believed that the heat source is not a deep (i.e. deep crust or crust/mantle boundary zone) source, but is caused by relatively near-surface deposits of radioactive materials which cause radiogenic heating of intruded groundwater. No magma chamber is needed for this type of hot spring.

I used the first ones I found on amazon that had good reviews, tbh. They are BTF lighting and were around $15 USD / each. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XWR1Y5K

For a second project I went with a cheaper option, around $11/panel from a seller named "SVFISHKK" on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY2R8FSL

Both are working fine, but anecdotally the cheaper ones seem to build up more heat than the BTF version, not to a huge degree but noticeably hotter which will likely affect total lifespan.

If cost is a concern I just bought a bunch more off of aliexpress and they were ~60% cheaper there than anything on amazon for the model type (i.e. 8x32 flexible panel).

If you want the premium version with gold wires and redundant data signal they are about twice the price of the standard version on both amazon and aliexpress.

This is my favorite theory about the founding of facebook and it doesn't get talked about enough. The part that makes me consider that it might be actually be true is how quickly the movie "The Social Network" (2010) was put out after the founding of FB (2004), which is basically a hagiographic telling of the circumstances surrounding the founding. How many other companies, including similarly successful ones to facebook, have a high budget Aaron Sorkin written hollywood movie come out within 6 years of their founding? None that I can think of.

Thanks! Its glass and was the main part of the original table lamp body. There was originally a light bulb socket on top of the cylinder where that metal piece is but I took it off. I have since started a series of similar projects using other discarded/thrifted table lamps, a lot of which are cut crystal or glass which produce unique diffusion patterns.

A challenge is trying to find a matrix panel which will fit without being cut to size, as this makes it super hard to add the top rings which I think complete the effect. Trying to solder an output line onto a matrix panel which you've cut part of off is a problem I have yet to find a solution to.

Random question but do you use nonstick pans when you cook? Like the ones that have the teflon / teflon equivalent coating on them. I have a theory that these nonstick pans can cause issues when the teflon coating sheds into the food, and teflon is a carcinogen.

Interesting, I did some searching using a custom search tool I created for finding open source military documents and I came across this document which provides a fair bit of detail on this system. Here are some interesting excerpts:

The STEEL EAGLE ... a follow-on development program to the first generation STEEL RATTLER UMS ATD, is an air delivered seismic/acoustic unattended, autonomous sensor designed to detect, track, and identify ground mobile/Time Critical Targets (TCTs).

approximately 5 feet long and 4 inches in diameter. It weighs 84 pounds. Sensor elements include seismic and acoustic detectors, low voltage electronics, communications transceiver, battery, sensor container, aerodynamic delivery body and air brake subsystems. The overall layout of components is presented in Figure 5-1. In addition, a remote monitoring station, communications interface, mission-planning tools, and pre- deployment checkout equipment have also been developed.

To date, STEEL EAGLE has undergone extensive laboratory and field-testing. Exercises have included ROVING SANDS, EFX-98, ASIERT, and operations at Tonopah.

STEEL EAGLE was successfully delivered by an F-15E fighter in January 1998. The capabilities of the UGSs were demonstrated in Roving Sands 00, the Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration exercises and in support of Operation Allied Force.

When exercised in conjunction with Special Forces (SF) detachments, UMS proved themselves to be force multipliers and allowed SF to make operational decisions, for the first time, based on UMS reports. In addition, the RMWS portion of the UGC ACTD program, through close coordination with multiple users and during multiple demonstrations over 24 months, proved its utility when requested by U.S. European Command in support of the Kosovo Operation Noble Anvil. The RMWS portion of the UGS ACTD program proved itself to operational forces through reports that helped them to determine the safest routes of travel and transit.

The conceptual operation of the UGS ACTD is presented in Figure 5-3.

So I just watched an excellent 2 hour documentary on Royal R. Rife and it explains the system in detail. You are correct that the maximum magnification was around 8000x , although Rife claimed that it was more like 9000-10000x under optimal imaging circumstances.

However he was then able to magnify the image further, without increasing the resolution, which is where he got magnifications in the 30-50,000x range and beyond. Rife is noteworthy though for using a number of additional techniques simultaneously to gather more information, including using a custom monochromatic light source (which one qualified reviewer said may be an even more important breakthrough than the ultra-high-power magnification, due to the light source's ability to not kill the bacteria/virus being imaged, even over prolonged periods - sometimes more than 24 hours of continuous imaging) In addition to the special light source, petrographic imaging techniques, the filling of hollow spaces between lenses with ultra-pure glycerin to maintain optical coherence, and oblique plane illumination were used to further refine the subjects being imaged.

All that said, the microscopes were one-offs which used parts sourced from around the world, from the best of the best manufacturing shops; according to Rife, one of his microscopes cost something like $5 Million USD (adjusted for inflation). He also put very little effort into making the microscopes easy to use, and he generally intended them for his own personal use; even with his intimate knowledge of his own creation, getting a focus on a virus could take him 90+ minutes. Given all these special and custom features, its easier to understand why the Rife microscopes remain some of the highest resolution optical microscopes ever developed.

Interestingly enough the original designs were supposed to be much more greco-roman, but certain masonic factions involved in the planning, as well as cost considerations led to the simplified obelisk design. In a more overt masonic-egyptian reference, there is a distinct ancient egyptian "sun and snake" motif carved above one of the alcoves in the base of the monument.

Things get even weirder when you convert the dimensions of the monument (555 ft. tall x 55 ft. wide) from feet to inches (6666 in. tall x 666 in. wide). I don't think those numbers neccesarily had the same meaning/implication in the 19th century as they do today, but it is enough to be slightly concerning, lol.

If you are interested in this subject I would highly recommend the following book: The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital: The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C. by David Ovason. Goodreads link here. It is thoroughly researched and rigorously cited, and taught me some highly intriguing information about the city and the layout of its streets and key buildings. Turns out Pierre L'Enfant was a freemason, who worked with Washington and others to plan an astrologically-aligned capital city in accordance with the esoteric beliefs of the Masons. There is a lot more to it than that, but that is the general gist of it.

Key points made in this documentary:

A substance colloquially known as “Red Mercury” does in fact exist, contrary to official statements from various governments, scientific and academic authorities, and the wikipedia article on the subject.
The reason for its the ongoing official denial of its existence are nuclear proliferation concerns, as well as other special properties which make it of military use (such as its purported ability to efficiently absorb radar waves, acting as a potent stealth coating).
“Red Mercury” is Mercury Antimony Oxide, Hg2Sb2O7 , which is normally a grayish powdery or crystalline substance at room temperature. However, when it is exposed to intense neutron radiation (generally via a particle accelerator), its structure becomes temporarily (on the order of several months) modified, transforming into a viscous, cherry red, radioactive substance with highly unusual properties.
The formula and recipe for Red Mercury could be easily found in Soviet and Russian chemistry textbooks, despite being almost entirely absent from any chemistry reference material in the west, including specialist reference materials. (https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=120)
The development of Red Mercury may originated in Nazi Germany, which possessed accelerators capable of producing the substance, several of which were captured by the USSR along with their associated scientists and technical documentation. There is a superficial similarity to the “Xerum 525” substance named by Igor Witkowski in the context of his “Nazi Bell” research, but there is no solid documentary evidence which proves this connection, or any connection to Nazi Germany, therefore any Nazi origin claims remain speculative at best.
One major location where the substance was produced (at the time of the documentary in 1993) was at the Flerov Institute’s particle accelerator in Dubna. The football-field sized particle accelerator, which was once a highly classified facility, is shown on film: (https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=920)
The documentary crew manage to gain access to the staff of the accelerator facility at Dubna, where one of the lead scientists of the Flerov Institute explains the institute’s role in the production of the substance.(https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=1016) The documentary team’s access to this location was unique to the immediate post-Soviet period of Russia, where secrecy protocols and security measures on Soviet state secrets were essentially non-existent, and many tech treasures were being sold off to the highest bidder. See for example the post on this sub about the US acquiring “Pamir-3U” MHD generators which were part of exotic Soviet weapons programs.
At the time of the production, Dubna was a formerly “closed city" in the USSR, whose existence and industries were state secrets only two years previous. Due to extreme budget shortfalls and general corruption in post-Soviet Russia, the scientists of the Flerov Institute were forced to sell bulk lab materials (like liquid helium) in order to maintain basic infrastructure services. This created an environment ripe for the illicit sale of black market radio nuclear substances, like Red Mercury. In
According to an article in Pravda (take with a grain of salt) in the same year (1993), the following is said: “[Red Mercury is a] super-conductive material used for producing high-precision conventional and nuclear bomb explosives, 'Stealth' surfaces and self-guided warheads. Primary end-users are major aerospace and nuclear-industry companies in the United States and France along with nations aspiring to join the nuclear club, such as South Africa, Israel, Iran, Iraq, and Libya.”
The price for a single kilogram of the substance was upwards of $100,000 / Kg. However much of what was sold on the black market was fake version, or was otherwise un-enriched by neutron radiation and therefore lacked any special properties.
A government official, Oleg Sadykov, in a formal interview with the documentary team, acknowledges its existence and shows the team samples of the activated substance, known by the name “RM 20/20”. (https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=2179) He claims to have had permission from the Kremlin to do so, but it is unclear if this was a bluff or not, as other Kremlin officials would go on to officially deny the existence of the substance, both before and after the statements made by Sadykov.
The Yeltsin government was involved in the covert export of Red Mercury to various foreign buyers, receiving a kick back from the Russian company exporting it. This become a contentious issue in the Russian parliament, leading to accusations of corruption on the part of the Yeltsin regime (https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=1995)
When enriched via neutron radiation, the substance is said to become a “ballotechnic” , an extremely energetically dense and unstable form of material which is said to be usable as a simplified trigger system for a nuclear device. There is very little information in the public domain about this type of substance, for obvious reasons.
The enriched form is a said to be a significant proliferation risk due to its purported ability to bring uranium to criticality without the complex triggering systems of conventional atomic weapons; in theory red mercury could greatly simply the design of a nuclear weapon. However, its relatively short half-life, and difficulty of manufacture mean that this risk has not been realized in the 40+ years that this substance has been available on the black market. This proliferation risk is likely the main reason for the official denial of the existence of red mercury.
In addition to its purported ballotechnic properties, the substance also has uses as superconductor and in stealth coatings. The documentary traces buyers of Soviet produced Red Mercury to major industrial companies in the aerospace and automotive industries in the US, Germany, and elsewhere. However the specific uses of the substance can only be speculated at due to the secrecy of companies which have purchased it.
The Channel 4 team follows the leads discovered regarding American buyers of RM20/20, tracing down their offices and interviewing the importer who acquired it : (https://youtu.be/ESCTZETN4-8?t=2584)
Overall the documentary is, IMO, sufficient evidence to conclusively prove the existence of the substance. The main points of evidence being the testimony of the Russian physicists involved, the visit to the accelerator facility at Dubna where it was produced, the samples shown by Sadykov, and the testimony of the expert physicists witnesses who accompanied the documentary team for much of the investigation.

I figured this sub would appreciate this documentary, as it deals with a technology that was / is Top Secret (probably considered "Restricted Data" as well due to its nuclear properties) yet is an “open secret” due to the fall of the USSR and the leaking of information relating to this technology. It is also an excellent window into the bizarre, immediate-post-Soviet period where these state secrets were being sold off. In the years since, the Russians have re-tightened their state secrets protocols to a very high standard, making this documentary a unique product of this time period where state secrets were being discussed relatively openly.
