Hi, I’ve read the thread carefully with interest. I find it close to me being interested in quantum answers to what light is. I thought of one scenario, if you might be interested. The light-being should have a source. And as a character supposed to act in a transparent medium (traveling...

Great point. But also behind 'where and when' it has clear enough stated tasks as exoplanets observation, definitely looking further it will bring more information on known and might be not observed yet phenomenon, will enrich our databases with misfits. Might be microscope - nice wording. As we...

1. AI is a facility, that needs to propagate signals in a media and it's speed limitations. 2. This sounds like transmission of information, not more. We have enough 'eyes' and 'ears' travelling in outer space for information gathering and AI (specifically ML) together with data science working...

Space plays me deja vu Like a radio tune, we've heard from CMD.. There is another thing - speed of our mutations, can we support ourselves on any other planet.

Pioneers go with maneuvering engine designs (for instance, Starlink reported more than 1000 maneuvers for the ‘first bunch’ launches). Nevertheless, the space industry itself is doing its job, most of the time looking down to the Earth with support. A U.K. company Skyrora...

For sure, the leaders of space flight are working daily to make propellants less expensive, less harmful with all the lore and cutting-edge technologies, tests, applications, having all the variety of engines. 'In-between' might be not exact term to be used. 'Trade off' - is what matters...

Mentioning Immanuel Kant in this article spurred me to share. https://onezero.medium.com/could-a-robot-have-a-mystical-experience-10fa374c3f86 'Is it possible that just as technology that imitated the eye has allowed us to see what the eye could not see, so technology that imitates the mind...

I would say it is not a middle point, it is the substance which throws us somewhere (forward?) In real life I am striving to bring the awareness and helpful, useful information and notion between space and the Earth. These both are intertwined as never before. Space exploration is now a...

I am not sure, if this the correct thread for aliens contacting. I was startled with my kid's (elementary school age) with a question today: 'If aliens come or we contact them, however they look like, how will we explain them all our movies, stories with seeing them as aliens and all the wars?'...

Evolution might be slower than technology in its development tempo, but it is already there :) There are physical processes that start to go synchronized when species live long enough in close community (humans, animals, not sure about microbes, but they should be faster with that chemistry).

Right, this is the good point for me as well.

AGI - the closest one to developments towards human-like devices. Human consciousness and intelligence is rather categorized with observable reactions and brain tasks results (consciousness, self-awareness, sentience, sapience), but it is far not understood yet. In this case AGI is helpful as...

Dear Cat, At some point of the discussion I've got (and internally agreed :)) this idea of skyscrapers. But I am not sure anymore if it is accepted. Having surface parameters and hence the radius, we may give different scenarios for geology that will work (or will be possible to work). At some...

Excuse me in advance for making disturbance. Having the Earth carrying capacity ~9 bln and less than 30% of solid surface (even let's take 1 number for habitable earth surface), it would be possible to calculate approximate surface square kilometre and thus radius that is needed. If it is an...

Careful and effective data combined together with cooperation show that it is possible to get more data with the facilities that we already have functioning. Good example demonstrated by scientists is WASP-127b ('a hot Saturn' that orbits a Sun-like star located about 525 light-years away)...
