Australia get's 32% of fertiliser imports from the Persian Gulf. A further 13.6% comes from China, which has announced that fertiliser exports will be curbed by ~50-75%. Chart: UN Trade and Development

@Robarbarian38 100%! I really appreciate the work he has done. It hasn't only been valuable to ingest, but it has inspired me to dig in more myself and challenge myself to likewise go deeper

This interview was awesome! Kevin B. Does an awesome job explaining the chemistry in laymans terms, but also with great nuance and accuracy. The explanations do one of the best jobs yet of capturing the potential and the value of Hydrograph's unique graphene. After watching it I am more long $hg $hgrag than ever before! Very exciting stuff

Zachariah's math is right - 8.5 tpa graphene for 140kL. The part worth noting: after the 50:1 dilution into 7M liters, the final paint is at 0.1 wt% graphene. That's still 68× above TFG's percolation threshold - meaning the graphene network is FULLY connected throughout the paint film. That's not just "graphene in paint" - it's a continuous nanoscale mesh delivering barrier + corrosion resistance + UV shielding simultaneously. The self-cannibalization point is real but understated - when your paint lasts 2-3x longer, the customer saves $15-30/L lifecycle cost even if the paint costs $1/L more upfront. That's not a hard sell. And anti-corrosive is just one $30B market. Same concentrate works in marine, concrete, packaging, automotive... $HGRAF

That would be about 8.5tpa of graphene for their 140k L. The paint is 1.22kg/L, and the graphene is loaded at 5% by weight, so with those numbers we can get the exact weight of graphene. They then blend their concentrated paint with whatever other paints to impart the special graphene given qualities. Apparently you can impregnate 7million Liters of paint with their 140k L of product, which from my findings represents .1% of the total global anti-corrosive paint industry. so this industry alone if it were to be 100% covered by hydrographs graphene would take 8.5ktpa of graphene, roughly. But you have to account for the fact that graphenating all that paint would be killing your own market by 25--70% because you would need to repaint less often due to the better pain, so that 8.5k tons would probably be reduced to about 5k tons or something like that. Still sounds pretty good for just one market! $HG $HGRAF

Yes. There are trillions of barren worlds out there, each with a stark beauty completely alien to our hospitable planet. As Carl Sagan noted in "Pale Blue Dot", we are stupendously lucky. Sending people to these dead worlds might be the ultimate way to help humanity appreciate our home.

Never memorize… learn the science not the terms
Math Files@Math_files

Most people think Richard Feynman was a genius because of his IQ, but an IQ test in high school reportedly placed his score around 125—impressive, but far below what you might expect. What actually set him apart was a habit he developed very early on: metacognitive monitoring of understanding. As a child, his father trained him to notice the difference between knowing a name and understanding the thing itself. When Feynman observed birds, his father taught him that simply learning to label them as birds didn’t matter. What mattered was how they lived, how they behaved, and why. That lesson stayed with him. As a student, Feynman became suspicious whenever an explanation felt simple but left him unable to reconstruct the reasoning himself. Phrases like “it’s obvious” or “it can be shown” were not reassuring to him; instead, they were red flags. Modern cognitive science explains why this matters. Familiarity produces what’s called fluency, and fluency is routinely mistaken for understanding. People feel most confident precisely when their comprehension is actually the thinnest. Feynman learned to treat confidence itself as something to examine. Confusion, for him, wasn’t a failure—it was diagnostic information. A practical way to train this habit yourself is to stop mid-study and ask whether you could explain the idea without using the original terminology. Wherever your explanation breaks down, that’s the true boundary of your understanding.

@AdamAstro3 @BambroughKevin This will come quite easily once this story has several more months to go mainstream and $HGRAF is expanding with multiple large orders....we'll see CNBC/Bloomberg interviews & coverage at that point.

If anyone in the $hg $hgraf community knows how we can get the Prof to be reviewed for a nobel please dm me. Serious. @BambroughKevin and I told him the other day we will try get him one.

Based on the work @AdamAstro3 and I are doing… fractal graphene aggregates should be added to all tires. Anywhere that rubber meets the road. Huge gains to be had. Payback is crazy fast with fuel savings

This is probably going to accelerate a self sustaining city on Mars by a decade. The deltav difference to get to Mars from the moon is ~1/5th that of going from Earth to Mars. If we did not have heavy industry on the moon, it means we would have to lift every single ton of material from the insane gravity well of the Earth for a Mars city. If we do have heavy industry on the moon, then we only have to lift organics, people and Earth specific equipment to Mars. The rest, (metals, silicates, water etc) can be sent for 1/5th the cost from the moon. Essentially, building a Moon industrial base is a compounding factor to a Mars city. Absolutely not needed if you want to visit Mars - but the Moon is a "planet" sized resource depo, close to us in time, but far from us in the gravity well. We should invest into developing it into a heavy industry base. The gravity well of the Earth is a fools errand to fight, but the moon is our "all your base are belong to us".
Elon Musk@elonmusk

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@BambroughKevin Hey Kevin, I don’t know if you saw my post yet about the EPA’s response to a query I made, it appears we are very close now. I received this today from them concerning P-024-0086 & P-024-0087: The PMNs are active cases. The New Chemicals Division is expecting to complete review in the next 2-3 weeks as we are close to finalizing a determination. There is no public notice of the determination but EPA will post a sanitized version of the determination document in Chemview for those PMN numbers. If the determination is a 5(e) order under TSCA, EPA will eventually issue a new chemical SNUR in the federal register for those chemical substances to extend requirements of the order to all other manufacturers and processors. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Wait so Google patented the Transformer architecture and then, instead of enforcing the patent, just allowed its competition to grow into a trillion-dollar industry? What?
