"But how do you tell this isnt from a meteorite" Indeed, there are many ways. Nature does not make complex alloys for example..yet you video'd one here, and I know of a few others out there with some wild properties.

Indeed! Good point. The really interesting thing is where do meteorites come from and what are the new physics that create magnetic, metallic see-through alloys that generate power?

A piezoelectric metallic glass sample? Theoretically it's possible for something like this to form naturally but I would say it's the same chances as nature producing carbon nanotubes naturally. Aka basically 0 chance.

Heres an actual IEEE journal article (by NASA btw) about naturally occuring materials that exhibit similar properties. Now an interesting question is, has someone else discovered how to use these natural properties advantageously in their technologies?https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/energy/environment/mystery-of-earthquake-lights-traced-to-electrical-charges-in-rocks …

Imo it's the combination of characteristics that specifically would set it apparent from natural phenomena. Naturally occuring piezoelectric: easy, naturally occuring piezoelectric + metallic glass: highly unlikely. Just my opinion though

Yes totally! But what if it’s not typical piezoelectrics? Some interesting research going on around the elctromotive force of peroxy bonds. Observed in high pressure magma cooled / molten glass / plasma discharge. Hmmm

That's a good point. If we could generate a sample set of hamiltonians where the dynamics of the system include an electric charge build up to do some stress, we could use ML to determine better if a sample was naturally occuring or not.->corresponding hamiltonian out of p.dist

Calculating the inverse hamiltonian will tell you which systems can produce the desired or observed effect. A "physics based nature classifier" is what I'm suggesting lol

Arent you testing a material also
@Deepneuron? When do you expect to be finished? And will you publish your findings?1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
I hope to publish a preprint in 6-8 months and be done testing in the next 3-4

Excited! cant wait to see your work!
