Yeah, about those "new and beautiful horizons." As if you're Queen Isabella financing Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage to the New World, thinking about the future of civilization? That awesomeness. Manifest pomp. There's no fooling Mother Nature (orbital physics). Is Mission […]

This magazine article (below) includes a YouTube video "Sneak Peek at Simulated Mars Habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center" (Nov 8, 2022), which introduces NASA's first CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) mission, an Earth-based 378-day 4-person "Mars Dune […]

Well, here we go again … yet another recap … although it's really about fields (QFT) … but here there be 'particle' words … quantum particles, photons – real & virtual … here there be Feynman diagrams … (virtual) mediation […]

(caption) Cover of the book "A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through" about colonizing Mars No guts, no glory … tragedy or triumph? Is "Occupy Mars" the best […]

Yeah! A diagram using wavepackets (not just sine / cosine plain waves). Superposition. And then determining "how long the electrons remain in a superposition before they relax back to their starting state." • Caltech > News > "Quantum Sensing Using […]

Active research on FRBs (fast radio bursts) continues. "… questions linger about the nature of FRBs, including why a handful seem to go off multiple times a day while others flash only once." • Space.com > "Where do fast radio […]

In this article, Ethan Siegel provides a general recap of why the shortest distance between events – spacetime interval – in 4D spacetime is sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 – c^2t^2) and not sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2). […]

Here's an interesting rethink of Feynman diagrams (part of a continuing reassessment). Possibly a framework for topology of interactions between wavepackets? How to build space-time? Terms: amplituhedron: "The amplituhedron is a curvy shape whose contours encode the number and orientation […]

A titan’s quest years from now, after all, will we aptly recall throughout many seasons the road of our reasons which pushed electric cars and pilgrimage to Mars?

This article summarizes some research on the temporal structure of so-called 'instantaneous' quantum events. That such events are processes which take time, no matter how brief, makes sense – wavepackets interact, re-superimpose (as a different energy state), and even entangle. […]
