There is a new paper about shielding the sun. It proposes that 99% of shield material comes from the moon.
Here is the abstract:
This paper presents an approach to Solar Radiation Management (SRM) using a tethered solar shield at the modified gravitational L1 Lagrange point. Unlike previous...
Could people make a large sheet of aluminum foil and send it to the Earth's orbit to cover let's say half of the Sun and thus ease down these hot climate-change-induced summers?
How feasible would something like this be? I know there was some talk years ago that a ring could be made around the...
Yeah, it is one of my favs also. I was just thinking yesterday how I would like to see it again.
I also remember a conversation with his son who said how that movie had a long gestation period because studios wanted it to have expensive recreations of the past to which Bixby refused.
Since you are so interested, Police came and picked me up to look for the jawbone but we could not find it anymore. Workers threw new piles of dirt on that place and I wasn't sure the exact location so we didn't exactly dig for it.
The building site is quite big, it's a promenade they've been...
Recently I saw a video from a Christian creationist who was trying to debunk evolution with an argument that if evolution gives us new species all the time why would we make an effort to preserve those that are going extinct.
So I was thinking a little bit about it and these are my conclusions...
Sometimes I run into this claim
But what are some examples? Is it perhaps the discovery of binary numbers and then their much later application to computers?
Or what about this?
I remember watching some documentary on TV some years ago and in it, they were mentioning how there was a physicist who was doing some research on radioactive elements in the laboratory, but because he was little bit crazy he believed that the fez hat he wore on his head would protect him from...
There was this myth that in 19th century steam locomotives used Egyptian mummies as fuel for steam locomotives, but in reality how good would dried human flesh be as that kind of a fuel for locomotive compared to coal?
I was watching this video about a company that has a device which sucks CO2 out of air, mixes carbon with hydrogen from water and makes fuel for cars
They say that it can power cars even better that gasoline you get from crude oil and that it costs the same, but is there a way I can do some...
I want to make a binary clock and I found a place with info of "how to" do it but since I'm total noob at electoronics I need some thing clearing some stuff
1st here's the link

So far I'm still in a process of obtaining the stuff, mostly...
I remember reading Robert Zubrin's book "Entering Space" about how to travel in space and terraform planets. In one place he gets into somewhat of a conundrum about robot society, like could robots by themselves live on a planet and "reproduce"
To me this is similar to somehwat older idea that...
