More Video Work

The new month continues and I'm keen to get as many videos complete soon, not taking up too much time. Have re-filmed segments of the new China Syndrome video three or four times, each different and now have broadly completed a video. I must avoid worrying about perfectionism for this old piece of music, there is only so good it could be given my time constraints.

The same is true about the Marius Fate music and videos. I hope to have three videos done as soon as possible; China Syndrome from Stupid Computer Music, Dreams of a Fly in Amber from Music of Poetic Objects, and Masculinity Two from The Modern Game. Always more to do.

The opening at the Williamson Art Gallery for the Wirral Society of Arts was excellent, really high quality work. I spoke to one or two people. The venue was outstandingly hot on a below average summer day of 22 degrees. The building really needs air conditioning, for the sake of the artwork if nothing else.

In the night, thoughts about gravity fill my mind. Massive objects radiate gravity, theoretically in all directions equally and homogeneously, which obviously can't be the case in real life. I imagine that quantum effects restrict the flow of this information only to areas where it is used. Gravity that is never acted upon is simply never emitted (I must work out how this could be tested, by testing itself you break the rule). This factor could eliminate infinities and lower or change the amount of energy emitted by a massive object; perhaps this could be the test.

Does gravitational radiation contain energy, or merely information? Transmission of information would seem to require some form of energy, and is generally prone to the possibility of error (nothing is perfect, and I suspect that errors in information transmission are of fundamental importance in all things). A planet moving towards another due to gravity does not require energy of momentum, according to general relativity, it is merely moving more slowly through time, and so is simply moving as always, simply deflected by something like a perfect mirror. Thus, gravity is information contained in space which radiates from massive objects. Do neutron stars and other stars lose mass purely due to gravitational radiation? I recall reading so, but can't locate this quickly. If a single proton emits gravity, it must also radiate and decay by this method, but this seems somehow unlikely, counterintuitive. A single proton radiative gravity in all directions is predicted.
