- The Fermilab Holometer experiment, after five years of construction and noise reduction, has so far found no high-frequency gravitational waves in its search band, ruling out nearby primordial cosmic-string loops or tiny black-hole binaries and constraining models of exotic early-universe objects.  
- Holometer’s primary mission remains testing the “holographic principle”: whether spacetime is effectively two-dimensional and information is encoded in Planck-scale bits; data-taking is ongoing.  
- Participants questioned the validity of general-relativistic gravitational waves themselves, with one remarking “gravity waves are probably bollocks because GR is probably bollocks,” echoing historical skepticism akin to the Michelson–Morley ether-drift experiments.  
- A call was made for an open-source aquaponics analytics stack that would stream sensor data into Graphite (the real-time metrics/graphing toolkit) to enable large-scale, data-driven urban farming.  
- Discussion of Graphite’s current status noted its seemingly dormant website (graphite.wikidot.com) and asked whether the project is merely “feature-complete” or has been superseded by newer tools.  
- A speculative proposal suggested treating coal seams as ultra-deep-time climate archives: extracting annual growth-like signals from fossil structure and trace chemistry to create proxy records extending hundreds of millions of years further back than Antarctic or Greenland ice cores.
