The USA went there a long time ago with a 4 year long orbital spacecraft mission to do it. The European mission is basically a stunt to make sure the bureaucrats are doing something to justify their salary and retirement checks. Total waste of funds from a science standpoint.

More malarkey pretending to be knowledge. Dark matter and dark energy are math constructs, nobody has ever been able to verify either. The counting of clusters does not actually prove anything especially as they have a hole of about a third in the data, 3 billion years worth of hole. 500...

To travel to other stars will cost resources which cost money, how much will depend on the cost of those resources. If mankind gets off the planet in large numbers which remains in doubt, somebody will have the resources, habitable planets would be nice except for the tiny fact they would be...

The calculations and assumptions are not offered in this thread. If one looks at it, the whole thing is bound up in a ball of assumptions, any one of which causes the result to change if that assumption is incorrect. While I will not argue about the assumptions as that would take a research...

The measured temperatures are less than Venus which has a very thick atmosphere and a lot smaller mass planet. I would question the accuracy of the no atmosphere claim and if it turns out to be true, this planet atmosphere was blasted off by the star so a flair star is not a good candidate to...

All this does is show travel impact speeds need to be slower which is easily done if the rock is actually mostly ice and breaks apart into smaller pieces which than land. They have found a whole lot of rocky meteors sitting on the surface, Antarctica is an example so they land at pretty low...

There is no point in arguing the math with a guy dead decades ago. What should be pointed out the observations are pretty limited in time, few years at most, the black hole and the stars are very far away and the events occurred a long long long time ago . This is basically a guess using the...

One has to wonder what got lost between the actual study and the author of this piece. Venus has a surface temperature of 900 degrees and a very dense atmosphere. All the study would seem to indicate is the atmosphere is not as thick as Venus depending on were the temperature measurements...

The operational word is may. This is basically a guess wrapped up in physics mumbo jumbo to pay for the grant which let them go someplace warm to escape the cold. Jamaica comes to mind as a possible destination. The claim all the forces were one is simply another guess wrapped up in physics...

A lot of words which have zero meaning. A child's babbles have the same meaning. Current theory simply postulates that time is fixed, how one or something experiences that time depends on ones velocity in space.. Light seems to confirm the theory as the frequency changes depending on your...

This not about pollution and if a person is at a loss they need mental health services. The actual question is rippoff of the taxpayers. A billion dollars for the space suits simply thrown out the door. This is the same attitude in the orginal moon landing which were simply publicity stunts...

Why do you folks in the news have to lie and distort all the time.? Is it nobody reads your stuff unless you do that? There is no mysterious dust cloud. I bet you can get its composition from the light you get from it as if falls into the black hole. Space is filled with a lot of nonluminous...

Nobody has shown how gravity is created and works over instellar distances of billions of light years as it appears to be instaneous. nor how quantum effects actually work except they do over distances apparently instanterously as well. The various candiates for a particle are not actually...

Dark energy is simply the other side of that coin. You need both. Both are math inventions to explain observation about galaxies and how they are formed and seen. Dark energy enables one to invent universe expansion and the Big Bang, dark matter enables one to invent a theory of how the...

Photon velocity has been measured in vaccuum and in gases solids etc. Your idea of slowing should be testable. How do you propose to do that as the slowing is pretty small over lengths we could test at? Bouncing a beam off a deep space object and measuring the round trip should be possible to...
