Starts With A Bang podcast #129 – Triton and the outer solar system

Published by Jenni Sidey

We often think about the Solar System as being our own cosmic backyard, and in many ways, it is: these are the closest objects to us in all the Universe, and our only opportunity to study lunar and planetary systems in situ. However, when it comes to the objects beyond Saturn, including the Uranian and Neptunian systems, as well as everything that lies in the Kuiper belt and beyond, the only probes we’ve ever sent their way are Voyager 2, which flew by Uranus and Neptune in the late 1980s, and New Horizons, which flew past Pluto in 2015. That means, unlike Jupiter and Saturn, we’ve never had a dedicated orbiter, lander, or atmospheric probe around the outermost planets or lunar systems even in our own backyard. Moreover, there are no such planned missions that are funded and slated to fly, which is really too bad, as there’s so much to learn about these planets and worlds that are so well-represented in exoplanet analogues all across the galaxy and Universe. In particular, one moon stands …

With two weeks to go until voting day, the Green Party, led by “eco-populist” London Assembly Member Zack Polanski, is increasing its activity in the outer London borough of Bromley. Bromley has traditionally been safe ground for the Conservative Party, which currently controls the council. The borough is seen as a major target for Reform UK, with a YouGov poll published this week giving Nigel Farage’s party a narrow lead over the Tories.  However, while inner London is seen as more natural territory for the Polanski’s party, Green sources believe they can also make a …

Scotland in bloom: wildflowers turn the Outer Hebrides into a Technicolor dream | Scotland holidays

Scotland in bloom: wildflowers turn the Outer Hebrides into a Technicolor dream | Scotland holidays

Published by Sam Flores

Some 8,000 years ago, behind the retreating glaciers, a remarkable environment was born on the western fringes of Scotland’s Outer Hebridean islands, forged by the wind and waves. It began with rising sea levels and sweeping Atlantic gales depositing crushed shell-sand inland; this settled over glacial sediment to form a coastal belt of lime-rich soil. Buffered from the sea by mounting sand dunes, this winter-wet and summer-sunned substrate produced one of Europe’s rarest habitats: the “machair”, Gaelic for “fertile grassy plain”. Abounding in diverse, colourful wildflowers and an array of associated wildlife, coastal machair is a precious, globally important outpost of biodiversity, supporting everything from purple orchids and nodding blue campanulas to endangered birdlife, otters and rare bumblebees. As a wildflower fanatic, visiting the Outer Hebrides in peak machair bloom has long been an aspiration. Over the years, I’d read accounts of its arresting, vibrant seasonality – its shifting blankets of red and white clover, yellow trefoil and creamy eyebright, bold against the sky. Although remnant machair is also found in north-west Ireland, its greatest …

Pragmata review – soulful sad dad saga in stunning outer space | Games

Published by Sam Flores

When Pragmata was announced alongside the PlayStation 5 in 2020, its shiny trailer promised slick sci-fi action in outer space. While it certainly delivers those futuristic thrills in spades, what I didn’t expect was a tender tale of paternal love. This is Capcom’s belated, surprisingly soulful first entry into gaming’s sad dad genre. In this near-future fiction, a corporation named Delphi has established a research station on the moon’s surface to experiment with advanced 3D printing tech, using “Lunafilament” to easily recreate everything from tools to entire buildings. Predictably, things soon go very wrong. As the station suddenly goes dark, engineer Hugh is sent from Earth to investigate. Right from the off, there’s an engrossingly mournful melancholy to Pragmata. Glistening corridors lead to eerily abandoned laboratories. Half-printed creations stand static, threads of filament protruding uselessly from their unfinished frames, and holograms show recorded conversations from increasingly concerned researchers. Hugh soon discovers that the human workers have met a grisly end, but luckily he doesn’t have to tough it out alone. Attacked by malfunctioning security droids, …

Could AI Data Centers Be Moved to Outer Space?

Could AI Data Centers Be Moved to Outer Space?

Published by skeptic

Here ε is the emissivity of the object—how effective it is as a radiator (0 < ε < 1), σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area, and T is the temperature (in Kelvin). Since we have temperature to the fourth power, you can see that hotter things radiate much more power than cooler things. OK, say you want to play Red Dead Redemption in space. Your computer is gonna get hot—maybe 200 F (366 Kelvin). To keep it simple, let’s say this is a cube-shaped PC with a total surface area of 1 square meter, and it’s a perfect radiator (ε = 1). The thermal radiation power would then be around 1,000 watts. Of course your computer is not a perfect radiator, but it looks like you’d be fine. As long as the output (1,000 watts) is greater than the input (300 watts), it’ll cool down. Now say you want to run some modest AI stuff. That’s a bigger job, so let’s scale up our cubical computer with edges twice as long …

The Inner Work of Outer Change

The Inner Work of Outer Change

Published by Jenni Sidey

In a world of AI disruption and relentless organizational uncertainty, leaders are often told that introspection and self-reflection are self-indulgent luxuries. What matters above all is execution—strategic pivots, operational excellence, driving results. You can work on yourself after the quarterly targets are met and the company’s transformation is complete! I used to believe this. But I now think that we have it exactly backwards. More precisely: I agree that timely execution matters enormously, especially in turbulent times. Organizations must act decisively. But the quality of our action depends entirely on the quality of consciousness from which we act. As the foundational Buddhist text the Dhammapada puts it: “Mind precedes all mental states … If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts, suffering follows … if with a pure mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows.” This ancient wisdom contains a modern management truth: The organizations we build reflect the inner states of those who build them. Buddhist philosophy calls this interdependence, the understanding that outer conditions arise from inner states. If a …

Outer Space Is a Viscous Fluid, New Paper Claims

Outer Space Is a Viscous Fluid, New Paper Claims

Published by José Betancourt

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Getty Images There’s endless debate among cosmologists about what really makes up the emptiness of outer space, though many believe that mysterious stuff that we now call dark matter and dark energy represent a significant portion. In a new yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper flagged by Live Science, a researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology in Jodhpur named Muhammad Ghulam Khuwajah Khan proposes an intriguing theory: that space is something akin to a viscous fluid, like a slow-moving honey. If borne out — a significant “if,” to be clear — the model could go a long way to explaining certain discrepancies that have rankled scientists about the universe. Currently, astronomers generally embrace the Lambda Cold Dark Matter Model — often shortened to the ΛCDM model — to explain mathematically how the Big Bang Theory occurred, how dark matter keeps galaxies together, and how dark energy is driving the expansion of the universe. The energy density of space is known as the cosmological constant, written as the Greek letter Lambda or …
