This is a very interesting theoretical way to attain deep space travel and physicists discuss in the video: The “Lightcraft” is a laser-propelled spacecraft concept that could ultimately run on other beamed energies, such as microwave. You may recall some recent discussions at NASA about a microwave propelled thruster and the em drive. This is…
They Want To Terraform Jupiter
There have been many discussions, and some that have progressed pretty far in regards to terraforming other planets. That entails trying to manipulate a planetery environment so that life could flourish and make it more like earth. So, how about Jupiter? So just what would it take to terraform Jupiter, the largest planet in our…
Earth May Look Like This In 1,000 Years
It is difficult to go one single day without hearing discussions of the earth and it’s climate. Some people are convinced any changes in temperature are a result of global warming, some disagree that there is any difference and a third camp feels any changes are from external factors. This video poses some interesting question:…
SETI Has A New Way To Search For Extraterrestrials
S.E.T.I., the non profit organization that scours the universe for evidence of extraterrestrials has a new system they are excited about: Stephen Hawking, Frank Drake and dozens of journalists gathered at the Royal Society in London last week to hear astronomers announce a ground-breaking new project to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life called “Breakthrough Listen.”…
Could Organisms Exist On Mars Even After The Water Disappeared?
Many astronomers, those who work with S.E.T.I. and NASA have embarked on quests to find life in other parts of the universe. A lot of those efforts were and are focused on Mars as well, and some bring up an interesting point in where to focus these efforts: Life may have lived and thrived in…
First A Pyramind On Mars Now A Space Crab?
Many space fans have debated the recent pics of the surface of Mars that have emerged from the curiosity rover, including a rock that resembles a pyramid (or an actual pyramid). Now, they may have found a space crab? A photo of a rock formation on the Martian surface shows an oddly shaped feature, and…
Could We Ever Travel To Kepler 452b?
Many have heard of the discovery of the most earth like planet we have seen from NASA Kepler 452b. So it would make sense to try to travel there right? Well to most science fans, they know it’s distance would be a challenge to say the least at with current technology: Kepler-452b is the most…
They Can Now Use Thermal Imaging For Facial Recognition…In The Dark
Once again science fiction is becoming science reality as facial recognition capabilities have become extremely advanced: It’s kind of crazy how quickly face detection and recognition technology managed to push its way into the mainstream. Over the past few years we’ve seen face recognition technology reach desktop photo software like iPhoto and even mass market smartphones from the…
10 Principles For Being Hyperconnected
With great power comes great responsibility. There is a famous superhero who was told that by his uncle 😉 and that advice applies to everything. We are in the information age, and a Nordic publication poses some very intelligent and forward thinking knowledge regarding this new are: Planet Earth is becoming hyperconnected. This transformation is called…
Backwards Time Travel May Not Be The Best Idea
The topic of time travel is often debated and more than ever with new theories regarding E=mc2 and the beginnings of our universe. So what would happen if we time traveled backwards? This physicist sure proposes an interesting scenario given such a phemomena: It’s a common trope in science-fiction novels: Astronauts travel back in time…
10 Science Mysteries Of This Century
Here is a really interesting general overview of some of the top 10 science mysteries of the last century: The last few centuries have been pretty good for science. In the 17th century, Isaac Newton solved the ancient controversy over the nature of forces and motion with his three laws. In the 18th, Ben Franklin…
Will We Ever Be Able To Make Gravity?
There is a very interesting debate on the potential to make artificial gravity. E=mc2 right so how can we simulate this artificially to harness gravity? Here is an excerpt on the discussion: There’s one future technology, a massive violation of the laws of physics which plays a role in nearly every single book, show and…
Is He Right?
Burt Rutan is an incredible engineer and one of his most famous designs was that of the Voyager. the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling. Here is a brief intro to his TED talk on video: In this passionate talk, legendary spacecraft designer Burt Rutan lambasts the US government-funded space program for…
Are Brown Dwarfs Planets Rather Than Stars?
And this whole time you thought they were more similar to stars? On Earth, auroras like the Northern Lights provide a dazzling light show. According to new research, the same phenomenon occurs outside our solar system — but not necessarily around planets. Brown dwarf stars may host auroras of their own — ones 10,000 more…
Impossibe EM Drive Propulsion System Actually Works!
This particular propulsion system is actually worthy of getting excited about. Sure, warp drive concepts are fascinating, and who’s to say they couldn’t be done one day but the EM Drive concept is something here and now: Over the past year, there’s been a whole lot of excitement about the electromagnetic propulsion drive, or EM…
350 Year Old Question Is Finally Answered!
Its about time.. A seemingly simple scientific question has stumped scientists for over three centuries…until now. An interesting phenomenon that happens with two or more pendulum clocks which you would not intuitively think was complicated to figure out: Almost 350 years ago, Dutch inventor and scientist Christiaan Huygens observed that two pendulum clocks hanging from…
3 Interesting Perspectives On Aliens Or Lack Of Them
This writer or commenter on imgur puts together one of the most well thought out analasys of the Fermi Paradox. In case you don’t know the Fermi Paradox is the question of if there are aliens, why haven’t we found them yet or have we not been visited yet? (assuming that the pyramids or any…
CO2 Recycler Uses New Method For Power
It seems as if daily we are bombarded by media involving green energy and climate discussions. Some of it makes sense and a lot of it is used for political purposes. No matter though, effiient and sustainable energy could benefit everyone politics aside. There is a very innovative new startup that is trying to tackle…
Ceres Update – Part 4
The Ceres NASA controversy continues. There are two topics at hand to remind anyone who hasn’t tuned in. 1. There is a debate that a pyramid like formation may have been spotted on the surface. 2. The other debate are what is causing these bright spots that are very visible on the surface. Here is…
Does This Theory on the Future of Time Make Sense?
is so this is BIZARRE… Time travel is one of the most debated concepts/states/dimensions or what have you for centuries. With the advent of the internet we can collaboratively discuss and watch multiple videos and theories on the subject. Here is an intro: Universal Time, Standard Time, clock synchronization – it’s all just an illusion!…
