    My understanding is that the island of stability in elements is generally accepted. The question is what the half life of these elements would be. This ranges from a few minutes to millions of years. The largest element so far created showed increased stability compared to its predecessor suggesting the concept might be valid.

    When you calculate the numbers for humans going to Mars and the return flight like their weight, food, oxygen, equipment, etc and also look at the medical issues like mental, radiation, isolation, no gravity and low gravity, etc, it becomes clear that colonising mars can only be done by robots. Or at least in the start-up phase.

Furthermore, the cybertruck can transport enough panels for a road trip of unlimited distances with a crew of four robots if they stop four days at a time to recharge the truck and the crew.

    Hello Sir, I really appreciate your dedication to express the scientific research and what is known for us listening.
    My question is; what is your opinion exoplanets orbiting other stars, do you think that we should consider that other planets might rotate around their system equatorially like Earth or possibly polarlly like Uranus whose northern (or southern) pole always pointing towards their home star in their orbital plain.
    Would you consider a 50/50 chance of either/ or equatorial rotation vs polar rotation, or more likely a 90/10 owing is rotation to some point of action or collision in that planet's past that would tip a planet over unto is side.
    It would be fascinating to me that if when we find exoplanets orbiting other stars that they were equally (50/50 chance) to be rotated both equatorial and polarlly because of conditions found there that may contribute to their own strange & unique formation.
    Thank you for your shows and the responses you give, every episode is fascinating gift to learn more about our universe and us as people to learn so much about the heavens and our life on Earth 🌍.

But, when one of those breaks or a part wears out, how will it be repaired or that part replaced? Bingo, then you need an android. They won't be operating, but they will be maintaining. And, like humans, which are quite versatile, they can do things that haven't been anticipated.

    Hi Fraser. Is it possible to save and upgrade astronomy from mega constellation internet satellites like Starlink by mounting telescopes on the same satellites' space-facing sides and work as a telemetry. If this is possible, this can be a game changer and used to view the universe like Google Earth does, but as a live view for a tiny access fee. The LIVE nature here is what's interesting.
    It means access to high-end telescopes will be cheap and easy for anyone on Earth to live view any viewable object in the sky regardless of the time of day to them.
    Most people who have never seen the solar system around us will be able to for the first time.
    Astronomers will have a 360 live view of the sky (not too sure how good the telescopes could get, but since hundreds can be used to make one image won't the image res be high) with specialised optics and equipment mounted on them for live 360 sky science.
    Maybe you can try to push this towards Elon or Gwen.

    • @unlucky5442
      @unlucky5442 4 часа назад

      The biggest problem with that is the the sats are in low Earth orbit, meaning they move really fast around the Earth to stay in that orbit. A camera needs many seconds/ minutes of exposure time to get a useable photo, especially telescopes/ lenses small enough to fit on a starlink. The movement of the sats will cause the image to become motion blurry unless they use very short exposures which wouldn't produce any worthwhile photos. If you're curious, the RAW images from both Hubble and JWST are avaible online for free for anyone to download, but they're of course in black and white, still really cool to spend some time looking into.

The Hubble orbits at a very similar altitude to Starlink satellites (both around 550km above Earth). There are probably lots of other issues that make this impractical, but its probably more along the lines of cost and 'why?' given that they'd just be small telescopes unless you manage to link them interferometrically (much much harder).

The camera/ telescopes itself could move, but the satellites don't have a lot of room on them for that kind of equipment, they're very flat after all. It was a fun thought experiment tho, but as you said, impractical in the real world.

    The crucial thing about deep sea vents is - did the life that is there now originate there, or did it originate elsewhere, and evolve to cope with the conditions around the vents?
    If it originated there, then it's worth looking for equivalent conditions elsewhere in the system, and further out. But if it just evolved to cope with the extreme conditions around the vents, having originated in less extreme conditions, then you may be wasting billions chasing something that is not there.
    The same applies to all extremophiles - did they originate in the extreme places, or did they evolve to cope with them? If they evolved to cope with them, then extremophiles of any kind are not evidence that life is widespread throughout the universe, however lovely that would be. We may just be chasing moonbeams here. ;-)

    • @Domarnett

      Humans never see most of the data that comes in. They use searches for the data that they want to study, and the software also looks for highly anomalous data(anything unusual/strange). After that, the rest gets archived. Then when we make further advances down the line, they will use those better/stronger/faster supercomputers in the future to comb the archives of data for things we missed or failed to comprehend. But yeah, our supercomputers can handle the load. We just don’t have enough knowledge to use it all just yet. We do however make a lot of discoveries every year out of data that have been collected by telescopes that no longer exist, so at least we know that none of the data collected is wasted… 😂

      @a.v.gavrilov 16 часов назад +1

      6000K - это голубой, с изрядной долей УФ (ультрафиолета). Солнце является "жёлтым" благодаря релеевскому рассеянию коротковолновой части спектра на молекулах кислорода, в нашей чистой, благодаря гидросфере, атмосфере. Весь голубой рассеивается в небе, благодаря этому у нас и голубой цвет неба.
      Попробуйте купить лампочку на 6000K, - и вы увидите приближение того, как выглядит свет Солнца за пределами атмосферы.

      Sun has temperature 6000K, and black body light spectre. It is extremely blue light, and Sun class is "Yellow Dwarf" is only because of atmosphere of Earth filtered short-wave light because of Rayleigh scattering. You see blue sky and red sunrise because Rayleigh scattering.

    Good point about TeslaBot plastics. There are two main ways that nature degrades plastics - Free radical degradation and UV degradation. Either one will result in plastics becoming brittle and eventually useless, regardless of whether they're thermoplastics, thermosets, or elastic.
    Alternatively, the problem with radiation causing problems with RAM/ processors/ etc, isn't an insurmountable problem. As long as they have enough space/ memory/ speed/ power for error correction, that's a problem that can be solved. Having said that, though, it'll likely be a while before that problem IS solved, as even the error correction mechanisms will need error correcting themselves, in a radiation-rich environment such as Mars' surface. I don't see Elon Muck either foreseeing this problem, or listening to people who tell him that this is a problem, so, again, it's likely going to be a while before such a problem is properly solved.

      @Domarnett 16 часов назад

      Venus is a special case though. It doesn’t spin the same direction as the rest of the solar system. It was probably hit by something big enough to alter its spin at some point in the last 5 billion years. I believe that most tidally locked planets orbit fairly close to their host star. Gravity pulls the rotation off much faster the closer you get. I read somewhere that earth’s days were only 21 hours long about billion years ago, so it would seem like we are rotating a little slower than we were then. I also read though, that the melting icecaps may be speeding up our rotation in more recent years. To your question though, when you give anything long enough it will always move towards entropy. So if we do nothing to alter our own spin, and no large bodies pass through the solar system to alter things, then yes, maybe the earth would eventually become tidally locked. Kind of a big if though. If we’re around on this planet in another 5 billion years when the days are getting really short and we don’t have the tech to fix it, then we deserve whatever we get. 😂🎉😂

    instead of creating one time bespoke and expensive solutions.
    I would be shocked if mars versions are not a parallel but low priority design task.
    Even if they only last a few weeks each, just keep spare bots and parts and have them fix the faulty one.
    a Lot of the work where a bot is needed might be indoors too.

Elon does not think like that, send a Bot and see how it performs, learn, build a better bot.
