Introduction to the Fabric of the Universe Understanding Space-Time The concept of space-time is fundamental to our understanding of the universe. Introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of General Relativity, space-time merges the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single, four-dimensional continuum. This framework allows us to […]
astrophysics
Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this will involve knowledge of astrophysics.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astrophysics.
Things are getting tense for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, literally
The new James Webb Telescope is the biggest telescope yet. But it has had many problems and delays. At the end of 2021 it was finally released into space to explore the cosmos. Currently, it’s next plan is to unravel the sun shield. That is to protect it from the suns harmful rays. It was […]
This ‘UFO’ rover could hover on the moon and asteroids one day
A new levitating rover is in the works. MIT is currently looking for ways to engineer a new hovercraft that can move without air. Many planets do not have an atmosphere meaning that there is no air on the planet. The team currently working on the concept have it shaped like an circular UFO. After […]
How could the Big Bang arise from nothing?
It is thought by some physicists that both the beginning and end of the universe might be the same thing. A cyclical universe model called “conformal cyclic cosmology” has been proposed by Roger Penrose, the 2020 Nobel Prize-winning physicist. According to this view, the Big Bang came about from nearly nothing at all. The conformal […]
The Echoes of Creation: What the Cosmic Microwave Background Tells Us
Introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) What is the CMB? The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the residual thermal radiation from the Big Bang, the event that marked the beginning of the universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This radiation is a faint glow that fills the universe and can be detected in […]
The Quest for FTL: How Close Are We to Faster-Than-Light Travel?
Introduction to Faster-Than-Light (FTL) Travel Defining FTL Travel Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel refers to the theoretical concept of moving or transmitting information at speeds exceeding that of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of […]
Will we soon rewrite textbooks on our place in the universe?
The more and more we learn about the universe, the less it feels like we know about it. We are getting closer and closer to see if there is life on other planets. It might not be aliens, but bacterial. UAPs are becoming more common place to see, whether it’s the military testing out classified […]
Living Among the Stars: The Science Behind Space Colonization
Introduction to Space Colonization Definition and Scope Space colonization refers to the establishment of permanent human habitats outside Earth. This concept encompasses a wide range of activities, including the construction of space stations, lunar bases, and settlements on other planets and celestial bodies. The scope of space colonization extends beyond mere exploration; it involves […]
This exoplanet has metal rain and 2,400C temperatures
Exoplanets are the term used to describe planets that orbit bodies other than our own sun. These celestial entities have temperatures that range to such phenomenal heights that the intense heat quite literally rips apart some of the molecules in their atmospheres. These uber-hot exoplanets are also sometimes called ultra-hot Jupiters, because they resemble the […]
Cosmic Inflation: Exploring the Rapid Expansion of the Early Universe
Introduction to Cosmic Inflation Definition and Concept Cosmic inflation refers to a theory in physical cosmology that proposes a period of extremely rapid exponential expansion of the universe during its very early moments, specifically within the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This theory was introduced to address several unresolved issues […]
