Science and Astronomy News

<dark matter> Would a plethora of tiny, moon-massed black holes effect our view of other galaxies? I heard that, since the universe was dense enough to form a black hole right after the big bang, the universe formed lots of mini black holes when it began. This could explain dark energy  matter, if ...

That's odd, because I normally think of rings consisting of asteroids, not being held in sway by one. Also, is Haumea really as streached as shown in that diagram? Edit:  I just looked it up in this handy but obscure astronomy program called Space Engine, and yes, it is that  stretched out. Wow.

Science and Astronomy Questions

This is more of a math question than an astronomy question, but whatever: Does anyone know how to calculate the position in an orbit per time for a body in an elliptical orbit? I've been trying to figure this out for a while, and my efforts to find the answer have led to ↑that↑ ginormous equation up...

If you think that's gross, the equation describing a rotating black hole is like a summoning spell for Cthulhu. :P  
Well, I got one that definitely beats that one for length.

I tried to factor the ellipse equation.

https://i.imgur.com/Rk5vxJf.gif AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELPHELPHELPHELP GINORMOUS EQUATION Anyways, thanks. I guess, since space-time is "falling" into the black hole with you, you wouldn't notice any real change, so everything should still act normally. I mean, your entire 360° view ...

The Stars Eternal - Challenge

Cool! I'd try it, but every time I'm zooming in to the galaxy's center, the game crashes on me. Also, the star search menu is not very good for finding the central black hole. Any help?
Also, any tricks for screenshots? I know print screen copies the screen onto my clipboard, and that's about it.

Can you prove that the Earth isn't a hollow sphere?

Assuming what we know about neutrinos is correct, the Earth's sphere, not hollow shape can be proven by the fact that a neutrino beam has to point down  to be detected on the other side of the Earth. If that doesn't work, you can similarly disprove the hollow-Earth theory by pointing a bright laser ...

Science and Astronomy Questions

So, apparently, time and space inside a black hole switch roles. Time can be traveled in either direction, while moving towards the singularity is inevitable. Could I, as a normal space-time geometry human being, meaningfully experience the inside of a black hole? Or would I not function like I do o...

14361 It's all part of that question "what is consciousness" though that noone seems to be able to definitively answer, though such a magnetic theory might also explain the 20 grams weight of the soul thing... There are hints as to the nature of consciousness and the emergence of mind and...

What if Uranus was as close as mars, with mars being a moon of Uranus? Having that big of a planet that close would probably mess with the orbits of the rest of the rocky bodies. Earth might get thrown out of the solar system or into the Sun, though it wouldn't happen for thousands of years or so. ...

A space engine story of your choice

Also, how come there's only a crew of four? There should be a lot more crew, especially if this is the kind of trip that takes decades, as implied. I could imagine being on an Ares mission with a crew of six for a year or two, but I couldn't stand so few people for a decade or two.

Could also explain how some people retain memories of events happening around them, even in comas. People could still have sensory input in a coma, which somehow finds its way into the memory of their glitchy brain. Because brains are complicated. But it's possible that while their physical brain i...
