Privacy and Data and Other Thoughts?
As civilisations move forward more people will indulge in artistic work rather than mechanical production jobs, that will allow us more time doing more creative and artistic work as is already evident in YouTube creators and hacker community (may be towards philosophy or in search of most fundamental physical laws in a later stages of our civilisation).

This interview with Rana X Adhikari from Caltech who is involved with LIGO does give a perspective on the technical difficulties in carrying out such precise measurements and eliminating noise: https://blog.ycombinator.com/the-technical-challenges-of-mea...
Also to me, it seems that Barry Barish got his share of the Nobel more as he was the leader of the LIGO project and less due to his direct involvement with some experimental or theoretical work as is the case with most Nobel prize. Am I wrong in saying that? Also if this is true then has this occurred in past also when someone was awarded a Nobel prize more because of their leadership in starting a project or an institution then their direct involvement with the actual work?

Can someone explain what is the feedback mechanism to self-correct the clock? This biological clock like any other clock will deviate from the true time after a while, maybe weeks or months; so what is the self-correcting mechanism in the biological clock?

Even I first thought of this while reading about this plan. But may be this is more about cheap and long term storage of electricity. Lithium ion batteries are expensive and also Lithium is limited. But I would definitely like to know how this idea stacks up against the idea of pumping water to a high altitude place and then using it as a battery.
