UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread SpaceX fishes Starship Super Heavy booster out of the sea (photo).Seems like a lot of damage for a "complete success", which I read was getting to zero velocity at zero altitude. Of course, landing...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Missing link' black hole lurks in strange binary system with red giant star.First, this article keeps switching between calling the visible star a "red giant" and a "red dwarf". It is a giant, not a dwarf...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Massive radio survey reveals our universe's structure at the largest scales.The CMBR does seem to provide a reference for velocity that would seem to be consistent across the entire universe. At least if the...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread How dark energy could relieve 'Hubble tension' and galaxy headaches.Helio, you seem to have misinterpreted my comment about their just assuming that they will solve "the problem" with "early dark energy"...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread How dark energy could relieve 'Hubble tension' and galaxy headaches.This article is useless for explaining anything. But, it is a great example for how much the "standard" cosmological model simply...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Massive radio survey reveals our universe's structure at the largest scales.I am not understanding why the number of "radio sources" should be higher in one direction and lower in the opposite direction due to...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Could we turn the sun into a gigantic telescope?.Well, the Sun is the lens, but there is not mirror involved in the telescopic effect. Trying to use a mirror to reflect the light back...

UUnclear Engineer reacted to uswine's post in the thread Could we turn the sun into a gigantic telescope? with
Like.
that's fine but who are the "informed advocates"? There is little research on this and what has been done relies on a long list of... -
UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread The largest volcano on Mars may sit above a 1,000-mile magma pool. Could Olympus Mons erupt again?.If a satellite has "escape velocity", it does not complete even one orbit around the bigger body. So, nothing that has made even one...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread The largest volcano on Mars may sit above a 1,000-mile magma pool. Could Olympus Mons erupt again?.Answering for Bill, yes, it applies to elliptical orbits, too. Think of it this way - draw a circle for the planet's surface. Pick a...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Black hole 'bullets' fired at Mars could reveal more about dark matter.This article talks about measuring "wobbles" in Mars' orbit due to a black hole the mass of an asteroid passing within "a few hundred...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread The great silence: Just 4 in 10,000 galaxies may host intelligent aliens.That is really the big question. Logically, it seems like that would work well, humans intentionally limiting population to stay...
-
UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread A 'primordial' black hole may zoom through our solar system every decade.That calculator gives me a radius of 0.00007426 millimeter for Bill's asteroid mass black hole. So, Bill's postulate would be that...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread A 'primordial' black hole may zoom through our solar system every decade.Billslugg, When I did the calculation in the previous thread, I used half the distance to the nearest star as the radius for...

UUnclear Engineer reacted to JAS's post in the thread FAA plans to fine SpaceX $630,000 for alleged launch violations with Like.
It seems to me that the FAA is fining SpaceX for the FAA's failure to regulate on a timely basis, thus putting their 'monkey' on the...
