Elon Musk started his career by trying to drive technological evolution forward, and he has made billions of dollars in the process. His newest undertaking is the not-so-small task of getting humans to Mars. His company, SpaceX, hopes to get people on Mars as soon as 2024. However, building a rocket that advanced is no […]
Physics of UAP/UFO, Alcubierre Warp Drives, & Spacetime Metric Engineering – Dr. Matthew Szydagis
Physics of UAP/UFO, Alcubierre Warp Drives, & Spacetime Metric Engineering with Dr. Matthew Szydagis In recent years, the enigmatic subject of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) has captured the public’s imagination, fueled by both governmental disclosures and scientific curiosity. Among the most compelling topics within this realm are the concepts of […]
Could Neptune’s largest moon swing a spacecraft into the planet’s orbit?
Neptune, the outermost planet in our solar system, has only been visited by one spacecraft, the Voyager 2 probe, over 40 years ago. Despite interest from planetary scientists, the planet’s extreme distance makes an orbiter or lander mission virtually impossible with current technology. However, a radical new idea proposes using the thin atmosphere of Neptune’s […]
Building blocks of life found in OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample
Scientists have made a promising discovery in a sample collected from the asteroid Bennu. The analysis revealed the presence of water and large amounts of carbon, suggesting that Bennu may contain the building blocks of life. This supports the long-standing theory that asteroids and comets may have played a crucial role in delivering the materials […]
Satellite companies may be starting to take the fight against space junk seriously
French startup ThrustMe has reported a surge in orders for its iodine-based propulsion systems for small satellites, signalling a shift towards a more sustainable space environment. The company’s NPT30-I2 electric thruster, first tested in 2020, uses iodine instead of the more exotic xenon, providing small satellites with autonomous maneuverability to help avoid collisions and deorbit […]
NASA’s interstellar Voyager probes get software updates beamed from 12 billion miles away
NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched about 46 years ago, are still receiving software updates to keep them functioning and in contact with Earth. Recently, Voyager 1 began transmitting corrupted data, so a software fix was created to address this issue. Another set of updates is aimed at preventing the build-up of residue in […]
US congressman claims government is reverse-engineering alien tech
Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett has made claims about the US government reverse-engineering alien technology. During an interview with Newsweek, he stated his belief that the government had recovered an extraterrestrial craft and potentially alien beings. Burchett suggested that the government is currently trying to understand and replicate the technology, but faces difficulties due to its […]
You Can Use This Silly Game to Do Some Serious Physics
The online game promoting the book “What If? 2” by Randall Munroe, author of the xkcd comics, is a simple space simulator that can also be used to explore key concepts in physics. The game begins with a rocket on a small planet, and players can use keyboard arrows to start the rocket, rotate the […]
