Show HN: Logos of Aether – Rebuilding Physics Without Zero or Empty Spacehttps://github.com/chrisnchips42-blip/Logos-of-Aether-A-Measurement-Theoretic-Foundation-for-PhysicsBackground: I’ve spent the last few years writing Logos of Aether (500+ pages, open source), which attempts to derive the Standard Model using a monadic, cellular-automata approach rather than standard continuous calculus.The Core Idea: Modern physics breaks down at singularities because our math allows for infinite density (division by zero). I replaced standard addition with "Plenum Addition" (⊕), a saturating operation similar to velocity addition in Special Relativity, but applied to information density.The Math: Instead of linear addition (1+1=2), distinctions add via: x ⊕ y = (x + y) / (1 + xy/π²)This forces a hard ceiling on information density (π), naturally eliminating black hole singularities and "infinite energy" bugs in QFT without needing renormalization.Why I'm posting: I have the theoretical derivation (including a geometric derivation of the Electron Mass as an 11th harmonic resonance), but I am moving from "Paper" to "Engine." I am looking for contributors interested iJan 5, 2026 9:15 PM

From roots to rockethttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/From_roots_to_rocketOn 5 January 2026, the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, hosted a special tradition: the planting of an astronaut tree by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot in honour of her first mission to space, εpsilon. This symbolic gesture celebrates her achievements and future mission while reinforcing the deep connection between space explorers and the planet they call home.Jan 5, 2026 8:20 AM

Ask HN: Expository/Succinct Books on Modern Physicshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46473352What are some good books which give an overview of all of Modern Physics (or even better, all of Physics)? Mathematical rigour is fine as long as they are clear and starting from undergrad level. Books for each of the quadrants mentioned here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_physicsI have my eye on John Dirk Walecka's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dirk_Walecka) books which seem pretty good particularly the ones published by World Scientific Publishing. Three vols on Introduction, Advanced, Topics on Modern Physics and Introduction vols on Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, General Relativity. - https://www.worldscientific.com/author/Walecka%2C+John+Dirk?...Dover has Robert Sproull's Modern Physics which seems a bit old. - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486783260Springer has S.H.Patil's Elements of Modern Physics which seems up to date. - https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-70143-7Does anybodJan 3, 2026 6:35 AM

Show HN: I built a weather alert system for photographershttps://app.photoweather.app/demo/live-demoI kept missing the good stuff (fog, aurora, beautiful sunsets) because I wasn't checking forecasts at the right time, so I built PhotoWeather...You define rules like: `aurora_quality > 60 AND cloud_cover < 20% AND moon_below_horizon` `fog_prob > 70% AND within 30min of sunrise AND wind < 5 mph`When a rule matches, you get an email and/or an iCal event. The iCal feed is the part I am maybe most proud of: subscribe once and upcoming "shoot windows" show up in your calendar.One example that made me sure this wasn't just a toy: last October it alerted "clear skies + no moon + strong aurora" and I drove to a nearby high spot in Helsinki. Ended up catching aurora and Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in one frame: https://reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/1obc5nz/Not my best photo ever, but probably the most unique and memorable, and I'll continue to remember my real-life "photoweather actually works" moment through it.A few things that differentiates this from your average weather app:Spatial sampling AJan 1, 2026 12:54 PM
