The span has two pylons. If I drive my car into your left leg, even at idle speed, and your foot is firmly planted on the ground, your massive shoulders are going to buckle.

There is a fascinating article about Pilots in the SF Bay talking about how containerships are affected by mountain shadows (meaning that hte actual shadow of a Mountain affect the temp of a large swath of water, thus affecting the currents in the region of the large shadow and that container ships in the SF Bay have to make course corrections ~8 minutes in advance, hence the need for a Pilot. (Sextant/Antikythera mechanism much)

-- This ship had an internal engine failure which resulted in their inability to adjust... hoever *EIGHT** naughts seems like the engine blew and the throttle stuck - hence the full reverse and resultant explosion(smoke) and it was also said that there are (some sort) of current effects ocurring in this waterway contributing to the drift...

this will be a maritime study forever.

I cant wait until the EU (such as the dutch) chime in...

But this really comes down to causeway design with MASSSIVE SPANS..

(oops on cpas)

What is the criticality notion for a particular causeway.

(look at the straights of malaka for piracy, SUEZ, Panama etc...

So where are the fuckn actuaries who are married to engineering and quants.

So build an AI that understands civil engineering endevours (panama canal, Suez, etc) - as well as the economic impact, and make a SIM CIVIL AI engineering model that understands the economic impacts if your thing fails.

I could type for hours on this - but I am sure you guys can daydream about such infra consequense and maybe talk about....

I would love to hear input from civil eng folks on this.

<how many ideas this inspired!

I just want to qualify - you did not inspire these ideas.

These are desires sought which have been there for eons...

You are not inspiring them

You have atool that ENABLES them.

Seek that which already is a flustered pop of ideas waiting for a release valve for such thought.

You are not inspiring - you are enabling that which is already there, think of it as which valve to open - the pressure is mounting upon your dyke.

These were measures of TIME.

Time is important in mariTIME due to the influences on current events... CURRENTS...

(our history is lost to the Seas of the Cosmos)

Yeah - how do these waters flow? Took thousands of years to discover the magnetic nature of inertia... only measurable on galactic scales.

Hence - when those excluded from scientific study resulted in 'astrology' to explain quantum faint implications through galactic 'tidal' movements

Undertanding CURRENTS is intrinsic in the philos of the mind...

I wont go too deep on this - but whats really awesome is that when you watch Ship s
