Yeah they have been pushing metal API exclusivity for a while now. As for user base for mac, I hear a lot of people state there is a large one but in my 20+ years of computer involvement which actually started on mac only as that is all our school had, I recall only meeting 2-3 people that did some ...

Yes GPS satellites use atomic clocks and do offset the time to account for this to ensure accuracy for devices back here on Earth.

vsause did a great video on that very concept.

I don't know how much it would effect the outcome but M class stars are entirely convective so they will eventually fuse practically all their Hydrogen and continue as a Helium burning convective star. But one thing is the rate they fuse at is so much slower than the core fusion stars, in order of 1...

It's not distance but how long you were traveling and at what speed relative to say the ground, also to some slight degree slightly faster time passage due to having every so slightly less gravity being higher up.   Time slows down in when fixed in a gravitational well. As for dilation relative to v...

Nice!  I have seen several fireballs during my life, some during the middle of the day even.  The last one I saw about 3 years ago I happen to be outside at night lit up all the ground like day and was very green in colour.  Then the sonic boom came about 5-10 min later, about as loud as a jet at a ...

Hello, first I want to say that I am new here, but I have known SpaceEngine for three years and I am fascinated, my question is where can I place my SpaceEngine discoveries, since I have a YouTube channel where I have some images that I would like you to see. Best place is this section in the forum...

LMAO! that looks hilarious! well done.

Hello everyone, I just created an account here because I've recently built a new PC and wanted to enjoy the game in 4K resolution. Here are the main specs: i7-8700k GTX 1080 Ti w/ latest WHQL drivers (398.36) 16GB of RAM Problem, ever since I got this PC running, the software keeps crashing after a...

I'm just amazed of what my mobile just did! I've captured from Madrid the Orion constellation near dawn with my phone. I putted ISO to 1600 and obturation time to 1/2 sec. This is what I got: http://i.imgur.com/RzEeXeO.jpg After that I used the digital zoom of the phone and took this close-up of th...

I wish I still had the ones I took with my brother's DSLR but I must not of saved it to any of my PCs.  I was able to get geminid meteor shower, Orion nebula, Andromeda galaxy plus a lot of other good shots. Was the first time I had used a SLR type camera. I do have some ok ones I took with a 6?Mp p...

nvidia definitely have the better and faster "gaming" architecture currently and likely in to the future. AMD had good ones in the past  (Polaris being the last one to date) but their vega architecture isn't really designed with gaming performance in mind, it was designed as a compute GPU ...

I like this one I found.
