COMENTARIOS RECIBIDOS POR LECTORES DE MI NOVELA
Como te comenté por teléfono, la experiencia de la lectura del libro fue muy buena. No puedo ocultar que no soy un fiel lector de ciencia ficción sin embargo el libro me pareció “un viaje” intrépido, entretenido, envolvente, excitante. Con contenido muy interesante y atractivo; conforme leía cada capítulo las imágenes fluían y más me envolvía hasta volverse casi una droga por llegar al final y conocer lo que sucedió.

SPACE ELEVATOR CONFERENCE 2011
SPACE ELEVATOR CONFERENCE 2011
It starts today and here I am ready to cover the event and trying to find the reazon of my paper declination.
It is already 6:45 in the morning.
I am planing to watch live and online this year's NASA Centennial Challenge - Strong Tether Competition, where a winner, if their tether is strong enough, could win the $2 million dollar prize. Event is scheduled for 4 PM.

2011 SPACE ELEVATOR CONFERENCE; PAPER
LEARNING FROM THE PAST TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX
The first idea of an elevator, more than 2000 years ago, required that the person on it pulled a rope to lift the cart, later on the use of a counterweigh was implemented, that meant a big improvement and a huge reduction of energy.
Can we use a weight, or a similar concept to pull the Lift instead of applying energy directly to the cart?
We can put a satellite, lets call it the Counter Weight SatellitE or CWSE for short, into a geosynchronous orbit around the earth but with an inclination of 60 degrees, synchronized with the space station so that the two satellites meet every 12 hours or so exactly in the same two opposite points of their corresponding orbits.
Or even better, we can put a CWSE in an almost geostationary retrograde orbit and a pulley system.
Considering the Space Elevator Ribbon expectations as given, we can connect the two satellites together with a ribbon, and this ribbon can be connected to the climber with some sort of standard pulley system.
The topology is as follows:
· A guiding ribbon will tie the Space station to the Earth Station; this is the ribbon from the known concept.
· An other ribbon; the PULLing ribbON the PULL-ON FOR SHORT: the PULL-ON will be tied to the climber or rather lift, on top of it, all the way to the Space Station going through the pulley system and then tided to the CWSE, its orbit can not be exactly a geostationary retrograde orbit because the PULL-ON has to by pass the earth.
· The Lift will have an extra weight that will be lowered as the lift is reaching the Space Station, in order for the system to have a gravity pull to bring back down the Lift, when the CWSE comes back to the Space Station.
The system can work as follows:
1) The Space Station is put into orbit with the guiding ribbon as proposed en the known model, and with the PULL-ON set too, I am guessing that the Geostationary orbit of the Space Station has to compensate the pull produced by the guiding ribbon.
2) The Space Station carries the CWSE with it.
3) One end of the PULL-ON is tied to the CWSE and the other one is tied to the Lift.
4) The Space Station puts the CWSE in to the mentioned Geosynchronous orbit, its orbit should be modified to compensate the pull that the PULL-ON and the Lift will create (I believe it has to be seen as a larger gravity effect, so the CWSE has to be higher into the space, but this concept and its calculation, if I am right, are totally out of my leagues).
5) The CWSE will pull the Lift up when going north an in opposite direction away of the equator and then bringing it back down to earth using the extra weight under need the Lift that never reaches the geosynchronous level, I believe that the Space Station has to wobble to compensate the North and South pulls that are caused by the CWSE - PULL-ON - LIFT system.
6) Then when CWSE goes south away from the space station again it will pull the Lift up again and so on.
Considerations:
· We have to design a system that can tie and untie the Lift from the PULL-ON.
· With The CWSE orbiting in a retrograde orbit we can use the extra distance to diminish the pulling effect of the system.
· We also have to design a mechanism to smooth the speed of the Lift when taking off and arriving in such a way that will allow to stop the Lift, this can be solved by adding some more degrees of inclination for the CWSE to create some type of margin.
I believe we can play with these ideas to come with one that really solves the pulling of the climber.

LEARNING WITHOUT AS MANY PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS AND A LOT BETTER
MULTIPLYING THE LEARNING MULTIPLYING EFFECT:
Memorizing formulas is not the best way to learn Physics; to understand and deduct them is a lot better way to understand them and then learn this science and all the sciences, so when you explain these formulas to somebody else who does not know a thing and he or she understands them, then they are there, engraved somewhere in your brain, and you start multiplying the learning effect.
Think of this: What is the formula of velocity? if you try to remember it from your Physics Lessons in high-school you do not have many chances to remember it. You may end remembering your sweetheart from those times.
As an example of what you may have had in your text book, here is the definition of velocity from Wikipedia (if you get confused or tired jump to the next paragraph):

As an example of what you may have had in your text book, here is the definition of velocity from Wikipedia (if you get confused or tired jump to the next paragraph):
In physics, velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in position of an object. It is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed, a quantity that is measured in meters per second (m/s or ms−1) when using the SI (metric) system.
For example, "5 meters per second" is a scalar and not a vector, whereas "5 meters per second east" is a vector. The average velocity v of an object moving through a displacement 
during a time interval (Δt) is described by the formula:
during a time interval (Δt) is described by the formula:
To understand it try to deduct it, and then try to explain to someone for the first time – as I will in a moment – what is the meaning of velocity in the simplest way and then built from it.
Here I go: Velocity tells you how much distance you travel in a period of time, for instance if you travel 2 Km (I am Mexican) in 1 hour, then your velocity is 2Km per hour, how many kilometers will you travel in 2 hours? it sounds so easy that even I understood it. I am sure you can do better than me; this is the power you have for learning and teaching, which is engraving in your brain the reasoning of the formula.
From here; what would happen if second graders teach first graders what they’ve learned a week ago and they are graded according to the result of the tests of their new pupils.

It's colds and flu season, and as any parent knows, colds and flu spread like wildfire, especially through schools.
New research using human-networking theory may give a clearer picture of just how, exactly, infectious diseases such as the common cold, influenza, whooping cough and SARS can spread through a closed group of people, and even through populations at large.

Mammals Grew 1000 Times Larger After the Demise of the Dinosaurs
Researchers have demonstrated that the extinction of dinosaurs some 65 million years ago paved the way for mammals to get bigger, about a thousand times larger than they had been when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The study, released today in the journal Science, is the first to quantitatively document the patterns of body size of mammals after the existence of dinosaurs.

QUIEN ES PEOR EL QUE HACE EL FRAUDE O EL BANCO QUE NO RESPONDE
Pregunto yo: en esta historia ¿quien es el peor? Los que hicieron el fraude o Bancomer que no responde, Esto le sucedió a un amigo:
"Estimados amigos, les platico lo que me pasó ayer, para que tengan cuidado; ayer jueves 25 de noviembre fuí a Gayosso Lomas Memorial en la carretera Federal México Toluca pues murió la mamá de un amigo; al entrar subí por la escalera eléctrica al primer nivel y cuando estaba a punto de subir al segundo nivel, se me acercaron 3 jijos vestidos igual que el personal de seguridad de Gayosso y me dijeron que estaba muy sucio mi traje, me quité el saco y estaba lleno de crema de las manos, tomaron pedazos de papel y diciendo déjenos ayudarle, se acercaron quesque para limpiar la crema y luego se fueron; en ese momento lo que hicieron fué sacar mi cartera de la bolsa de mi pantalón, retiraron tarjetas de crédito y debito y el efectivo y regresaron la cartera a su lugar, tan rápido y "bien" articulado, que no me dí cuenta sino hasta hoy viernes que saqué mi cartera para hacer un pago, dándome cuenta de que ni lana ni tarjetas; cancelé tarjetas y levante acta en la delegación, pero habían firmado $75,000 pesos; Santander bloqueo la tarjeta de debito al tercer cargo pues le pareció extraño el comportamiento, pero los ineptos de Bancomer dejaron pasar 15 cargos seguidos sin siquiera darse cuenta del comportamiento atípico.
Hablé a Santander y me atendieron muy bien, me dijeron que no me preocubapa, que meee reembolsarían esos cargos en 1 mes, pero en Bancomer tienes que esperar 3 días para reclamar los cargos no reconocidos y realmente los sentí que están muy desorganizados para este tipo de asuntos, así que necesito por favor si alguien conoce a los directivos de Tarjeta de Créddito Bancomer, por favor ponerme en contacto para solucionar este problema.
Saludos y gracias
Tomás"
Y un aplauso a Santander si cumple lo que ofreció.
