 I'm condensing the steps to move from travel manifest page to human readable findings to sqlite database here. History Research Contextual Recap I'm working on a history of physics research project, The Gladych Files , that explores how industrialists interested in fringe physics wound up actually funding mainstream general relativity research. As part of that research, I've been looking at the travel manifests of various industrialists and research scientists from the 1930s to the 1950s. Because there are literally thousands of passengers on their combined voyages, I'm using LLM agents orchestrated through Gas Town to coordinate the research. At present, I am working on a bit of a mystery. Multiple sources state that Hedy Lamarr came to the United States aboard the S.S. Normandy, arriving on September 30th, 1937. That's the same ship that Tom Slick, (one of the industrialists of whom I spoke above), took across the Atlantic. There's only one problem. Hedy is...

 While doing research for a book I'm working on, The Gladych Files , I wondered into the weeds of statistical analysis of LLM AI agent performance which relates to my everyday sort of work in engineering. One of the things I really enjoy about The Gladych Files, however, is that it's never long before the project pulls me back towards ham radio. The statistical analysis project involved determining how often, and with what certainty AI agents could find out that Lucia Hobson was the daughter of Rear Admiral Richmond Pearson Hobson and then make the further link that Nikola Tesla was the best man at Rear Admiral Hobson's wedding. While estimating how difficult this was to do with plain old human operated web searches this morning, I came across W. E. D. Stokes! Stokes came into the picture as Lucia Hobson's husband. What I didn't know was that he was one of the founders of The Radio Club of America. His original interest in radio came from wanting to control a mod...

 After gaining access to OpenAI’s new Sora-2 video API , I rebuilt my entire B-roll workflow for The Gladych Files channel — automating prompt generation, stitching clips together, and producing cinematic sequences in minutes. In this post, I walk through the full pipeline, share lessons learned, and offer tips for anyone curious about AI-assisted video creation.

"Sure," I hear you saying, "Michael Gladych is cool and all, but what does this have to do with the history of physics?" Read on and find out how Gladych reported on the events that would fund Higgs Particle research as well as the relativistic framework that inspired the Alcubierre drive . The same events that inspired Nick Cook's antigravity classic, "The Hunt for Zero Point" The article that brought Mike Gladych to the attention of fringe physics buffs everywhere, “The G-Engines are Coming”, appeared in its first incarnation in the pages of the November, 1956 issue of American Modeler.  The article begins with the bold assertion that nuclear airplanes will be made obsolete—by the artificial control of gravity—before they ever leave the design phase.  It then goes on to state that many aircraft companies were currently engaged in the study of the control of gravitation including: Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Co., Convair, Bell Aircraft, Lear, ...
