Introduction to Space-Time and the Universe Defining Space-Time Space-time is a four-dimensional continuum that fuses the three dimensions of space with the one dimension of time into a single interwoven fabric. This concept, which is central to modern physics, was revolutionized by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. In this framework, space and time are […]

How radio astronomy put new eyes on the cosmos
During the 1930s, engineer Karl Jansky was the first person to discover radio radiation coming from interstellar space, and Grote Reber built the world’s first dedicated radio telescope in his yard. After the war, the field expanded, and major discoveries starting occurring. Interstellar molecules, quasars and pulsars were all discovered by radio telescopes. A radio […]
The Physics of Propulsion: Innovations Poised to Change Space Travel
Introduction to Propulsion Definition and Importance Propulsion is the mechanism by which a vehicle is moved forward. In the context of aerospace engineering, propulsion systems are critical for the operation of aircraft and spacecraft. These systems generate the necessary thrust to overcome drag and gravity, enabling vehicles to achieve and maintain flight. The importance […]
‘Substantial’ Number of Wandering Black Holes Could Be Roaming Galaxies
Scientists have long been aware of the existence of celestial entities of such gravitational intensity that no light can escape their perimeters. Such entities are called black holes. It’s furthermore been conjectured that it is the norm for such black holes to sit at the midpoint of every outsize galaxy. Data has revealed, however, that […]
Larger Minority in U.S. Says Some UFOs Are Alien Spacecraft
The scientific community and our government largely refrain from classifying the sightings of unidentified flying objects. It is left to the general public to speculate on the nature of these events. The latest survey shows that the number of people believing that some extraterrestrial beings are behind these sightings has increased as compared to the […]
Elevating Space Access: The Reality of Space Elevators
Introduction to Space Elevators Definition and Concept A space elevator, also known as a space bridge, star ladder, or orbital lift, is a proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system. The primary component of a space elevator is a cable, or tether, anchored to the Earth’s surface near the equator and extending into space. The […]
The Big Bang Theory: The Dawn of the Cosmos
Introduction to the Big Bang Theory Overview of the Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe. According to this theory, the Universe began as an extremely hot and dense point approximately 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. […]
Earth’s first puff of oxygen may be thanks to volcanoes
We take the existence of oxygen on our planet for granted, but early in its days, Earth did not have much of it. There was a spike in amount of oxygen available at some point, and this burst of oxygen has been puzzling for the scientific community. We found evidence of it in Australian shale. […]
Cool Places We Could Migrate to Beyond Earth
We know that our planet will not last forever, and this is not a secret. We depend on the energy from the sun, and it is slowly decreasing. Although the necessity to leave the planet is highly unlikely to materialize in our lifetime, it is interesting to consider the options in this scenario. Venus comes […]
Archive: “Breaking the Law of Gravity” – By Charles Platt – Wired
Breaking the Law of Gravity CHARLES PLATT 03.01.1998 12:00 PM Skeptics had a field day when a scientist claimed in 1996 that gravity could be negated. Now his findings are being investigated in laboratories worldwide. In 1996, Russian émigré scientist Eugene Podkletnov was about to publish a peer-reviewed article in the respected British Journal of […]
