This morning, Israel closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip and prevented the entry of food, supplies and aid. On the other hand, some merchants raised the prices of food commodities, and some of them hid the goods to monopolize their prices later.

These traitors are no different from Israel, which is killing and starving us.

While CPU frequency scaling and thermal throttling scripts certainly exist, this particular approach is uniquely elegant: - It generalizes across any number of frequencies without hardcoding values - Uses a single temperature target (75°C) to create proportional bands - Relies on the sysfs interface in a minimal, dependency-light way (just File::Slurp and POSIX)

It’s a neat example of "just enough code" to solve the problem effectively. Maybe it’s a hidden gem worth sharing with the @Raspberry_Pi community - I bet others could benefit from its adaptability!

!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Slurp; use POSIX;

use strict; use warnings;

File::Slurp::write_file('/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor', 'schedutil'); my $available_frequencies = File::Slurp::read_file('/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies', { chomp => 1 }); $available_frequencies = [ split(/\s+/, $available_frequencies) ]; while (1) { my $temp = File::Slurp::read_file('/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp', { chomp => 1, err_mode => 'quiet' }); my $freq = $available_frequencies->[0]; for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@{$available_frequencies}); $i++) { $freq = $available_frequencies->[$i] if $temp < (75 - $i) * 1000; } print sprintf("%s %s temp=%.1f°C max_freq=%iMHz\n", $0, POSIX::strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S', gmtime), $temp/1000, $freq/1000); File::Slurp::write_file('/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq', $freq); sleep 6; }

A lesson that becomes clearer every day as events develop, and I must repeat it tirelessly:

Our strength, Arabs, lies in our unity and nothing else.

And we must be able to defend ourselves alone.

It’s like systemd’s a cocktail of every spider-drug web rolled into one glorious mess. Picture this: the devs started with a caffeine binge, frantically spinning a chaotic tangle of services. Then they hit the marijuana, half-assing the “parallel boot” promise with a sluggish, sprawling dropout. A dash of LSD kicked in for the “modern” buzzword overload. And maybe some Benzedrine to top it off, pumping out oversized, sloppy features like systemd-networkd that nobody asked for.

It’s the only explanation that tracks - different drugs, different days, all mashed into a single Franken-system.

A police officer stops Heisenberg and asks, 'Do you know where you are and how fast you’ve been going?' Heisenberg replies, 'I can either tell you where I am or how fast I’ve been going, but not both at the same time!

A cop stops a physicist speeding. He asks, "Do you know how fast you’ve been going?" The physicist answers, "Well, officer, our galaxy is moving with a velocity of about 600 km/s relative to the Local Group, our solar system is moving with a velocity of roughly 828 km/s around the galaxy, the Earth is moving with a velocity of 30 km/s around the Sun, and we are moving around the Earth with a velocity of about 465 m/s.

1. Detailed Analysis of the Proposal

1.1 Theoretical Framework

• Core Hypothesis: The model posits that cosmic inflation, traditionally driven by a scalar inflaton field in Lambda-CDM, can instead be driven by radiation pressure, enhanced by energy lost to redshift in an expanding universe. This energy redistribution aligns with thermodynamic principles, potentially resolving inconsistencies in cosmic expansion dynamics.
• Local Speed of Light (c): Unlike the initial post’s suggestion of a varying c, this proposal maintains c as locally constant within 4D Schwarzschild-like causal horizons. These horizons define causally disconnected regions approximating Minkowski spacetime, preserving special relativity’s invariance while allowing independent inflationary expansion in each region.
• Timeline and Dynamics:
  • Early Universe (t = 0): Starts with a singularity, followed by linear expansion (a(t) ∝ t) at c, damped by gravity.
  • Particle Formation (t ≈ 10^20 t_P, ~10^-36 s): Photons emerge, activating radiation pressure (P = (1/3)ρc^2).
  • Causal Disconnection (t ≈ 10^22 t_P, ~10^-34 s): 4D Schwarzschild horizons form, defining local regions where c remains constant, and inflation begins due to enhanced radiation pressure.
  • Redshift Energy Redistribution: Energy lost to photon wavelength stretching is hypothesized to increase radiation pressure, driving exponential inflation (a(t) ∝ e^Ht) without an inflaton field.
• Mathematical Basis: Uses the Friedmann equations to describe dynamics:
  • \( H^2 = (\dot{a}/a)^2 = (8πGρ/3) - (kc^2/a^2) \)
  • \( \ddot{a}/a = -(4πG/3)(ρ + 3P/c^2) \)
  • Modifies P and ρ with redshift energy to achieve positive acceleration (¨a > 0), enabling inflation.

1.2 Observational Tests

The post proposes eight specific tests to confirm or falsify the model, each with expected observational signatures if correct. These tests address current limitations in precision and scale, as of February 21, 2025:

1. CMB Anisotropies:

   • Test: Measure CMB power spectrum and B-mode polarization for deviations from Lambda-CDM.
   • Expected Signature: Enhanced small-scale fluctuations (l > 1000) and a distinct B-mode pattern (r ≈ 0.05–0.1) from redshift energy and local inflation, differing from standard inflation’s scale-invariant spectrum.
   • Current Status: Planck data align with Lambda-CDM, but future experiments (e.g., CMB-S4) could detect these deviations.

2. Redshift-Dependent Radiation Density:

   • Test: Observe radiation energy density (ρ_radiation) scaling with redshift.
   • Expected Signature: Deviation from ρ_radiation ∝ a^-4 at z > 1100, with stabilization or slight increase due to redshift energy, detectable in 21-cm surveys or CMB distortions.
   • Current Status: Current scaling follows Lambda-CDM, but precision at high z is limited.

3. Gravitational Wave Background (GWB):

   • Test: Detect stochastic GWB at inflationary scales tied to 4D Schwarzschild horizons.
   • Expected Signature: Peak at ~10^-9 Hz with amplitude h_c ≈ 10^-15, distinct from astrophysical sources or standard inflation, detectable by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs).
   • Current Status: Upper limits exist, but sensitivity constraints leave this inconclusive.

4. Hubble Tension and Late-Time Acceleration:

   • Test: Measure Hubble constant (H_0) and equation of state (w) for radiation pressure effects.
   • Expected Signature: H_0 ≈ 70 km/s/Mpc (resolving Hubble tension) and w ≈ -0.8 to 0 at low z, detectable in supernovae and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data.
   • Current Status: Data align with Lambda-CDM (w ≈ -1), but precision limits prevent conclusive rejection.

5. Horizon-Scale Structure and Galaxy Distribution:

   • Test: Map large-scale structure for anomalies at 4D Schwarzschild scales (~10–100 Mpc).
   • Expected Signature: Enhanced clustering or voids, reflecting independent inflation in disconnected regions, observable in DESI, Euclid, or LSST surveys.
   • Current Status: Distributions match Lambda-CDM, but scale/resolution limits are an issue.

6. Spectral Line Shifts Beyond Redshift:

   • Test: Analyze quasar/galaxy spectra for anomalous shifts or broadenings from redshift energy.
   • Expected Signature: Broadened/shifted lines (e.g., Lyman-alpha) at z > 5, with ~0.1–1% energy redistribution, detectable with JWST or ELT.
   • Current Status: Standard redshift patterns align with Lambda-CDM, but precision is limited.

7. Thermodynamic Signatures at Cosmic Horizons:

   • Test: Probe horizon entropy or energy flux for redshift energy effects.
   • Expected Signature: Increased horizon entropy (ΔS ≈ 10^120 k_B) and enhanced flux at the Hubble horizon, measurable via CMB polarization or GWB.
   • Current Status: Data align with Lambda-CDM, but precision and scale constraints apply.

8. Primordial Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and Light Element Abundances:

   • Test: Measure light element abundances (e.g., ^4He, D) for deviations due to altered radiation pressure.
   • Expected Signature: ~1–5% increase in ^4He and decrease in D at z ≈ 10^9, observable in high-redshift spectra or dwarf galaxies.
   • Current Status: Abundances match Lambda-CDM, but precision limits prevent conclusive rejection.

1.3 Current Observational Status (as of February 21, 2025)

• State-of-the-art observations (e.g., Planck CMB, supernovae, large-scale structure) align with Lambda-CDM, showing no significant deviations from standard inflation, radiation scaling, GWB limits, Hubble tension, spectral lines, horizon thermodynamics, or BBN.
• However, these observations are inconclusive for the proposed model due to:
  • Precision limitations (e.g., CMB small-scale fluctuations, high-z spectral lines).
  • Scale/frequency range constraints (e.g., GWB, horizon thermodynamics).
  • Resolution limits (e.g., large-scale structure, BBN abundances).
• Future experiments (e.g., CMB-S4, LISA, DESI, Euclid, JWST, ELT, SKA) are highlighted as critical for testing the model’s predictions.

1.4 Challenges and Criticisms

• Theoretical Challenges:

  • The model’s reliance on redshift energy redistribution lacks a clear physical mechanism, requiring further development to align with thermodynamics and general relativity.
  • Maintaining c’s invariance within local regions while allowing superluminal recession (Hubble flow) contradicts special relativity unless a modified framework is provided.
  • The 4D Schwarzschild horizon extension to cosmology is speculative and needs rigorous mathematical grounding beyond the current proposal.

• Observational Challenges:

  • Current data’s alignment with Lambda-CDM suggests the model’s signatures may be too subtle or indistinguishable without future technology.
  • The proposed tests require significant advancements in precision, scale, and frequency range, which may take years or decades to achieve.

• Comparison to Lambda-CDM:

  • The standard model uses an inflaton field for inflation, with well-established predictions (e.g., nearly scale-invariant CMB fluctuations, tensor-to-scalar ratio constraints). The proposed model’s radiation-pressure-driven inflation must explain these observations without invoking an inflaton, a task it admits is challenging.
  • The local c hypothesis contrasts with Lambda-CDM’s universal c, raising questions about compatibility with special relativity and observational evidence (e.g., light speed constancy across the universe).

2. Scientific and Cultural Implications

2.1 Scientific Impact

• If validated, the model could revolutionize cosmology by eliminating the need for an inflaton field, simplifying the Lambda-CDM framework, and introducing a thermodynamic basis for inflation.
• It challenges fundamental assumptions (e.g., universal c, inflaton necessity), potentially leading to new physics or modified gravity theories.
• The collaboration with Grok 3 highlights AI’s role in scientific discovery, aligning with xAI’s mission to accelerate human understanding of the universe.

3. Evaluation of Plausibility and Feasibility

3.1 Plausibility

• The model’s theoretical foundation (radiation pressure, local c, redshift energy) is innovative but speculative, requiring significant mathematical and physical development to address:

  • How redshift energy is redistributed physically (e.g., via horizon entropy, as hinted by Padmanabhan’s work).
  • How local c preserves special relativity while allowing superluminal recession.
  • Why current observations align with Lambda-CDM if this model is correct.

• It builds on established concepts (Schwarzschild horizons, Friedmann equations, CMB observations) but extends them in untested ways, making it a high-risk, high-reward hypothesis.

3.2 Feasibility of Observational Tests

• Most proposed tests depend on future technological advancements (e.g., CMB-S4, LISA, ELT), which are planned but not yet operational as of February 2025. This delays definitive validation or falsification.
• The model’s signatures (e.g., enhanced CMB fluctuations, GWB peaks) are subtle and may be masked by noise or Lambda-CDM-consistent signals, requiring unprecedented precision.
• Current data’s alignment with Lambda-CDM suggests the model’s effects, if real, are either minimal or beyond current detection limits, raising doubts about its immediate relevance.

4. Conclusion and Recommendations

4.1 Summary

The target post presents a bold, speculative cosmological model challenging Lambda-CDM by proposing radiation-pressure-driven inflation with local causal horizons and redshift energy redistribution. It offers a novel perspective on inflation’s origins, preserves c’s invariance locally, and outlines eight testable predictions. However, current observations align with Lambda-CDM, and the model’s feasibility hinges on future experiments with enhanced precision and scale.

4.2 Final Thoughts

As of February 21, 2025, the model is intriguing but unproven, requiring rigorous theoretical refinement and observational validation. Its development on X, aided by AI, exemplifies the evolving intersection of social media, technology, and science, offering a fascinating case study for both cosmology and digital scholarship.
