Robert D. “Bob” Cabana, a former NASA astronaut, NASA Associate Administrator (the agency’s third highest-ranking executive) and Director of Kennedy Space Center, has joined IBX, a firm that invests in and fosters innovation in space-related companies.…
Quantum Space, una compañía fundada a principios de este año para desarrollar plataformas de naves espaciales en el espacio cislunar, anunció planes el 26 de octubre para su primera misión de explorador de satélites pequeños que recopilará datos de conciencia de la situación espacial.
La nave espacial QS-1, cuyo lanzamiento está programado para octubre de 2024, operará en el espacio cislunar y…
I recently had the pleasure of finishing Outer Wilds for the first time and it is truly something I will never forget. What I would give to play this game for the first time again...
New research suggests that extreme objects known as "kugelblitze" — black holes formed solely from light — are impossible in our universe, challenging Einstein's theory of general relativity. The discovery places significant constraints on cosmological models and demonstrates how quantum mechanics and general relativity can be reconciled to address complex scientific questions.
Black holes — massive objects with such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape their grasp — are among the most intriguing and bizarre objects in the universe. Typically, they form from the collapse of massive stars at the ends of their life cycles, when the pressure from thermonuclear reactions in their cores can no longer counteract the force of gravity.
Billions of stars, how many unimaginable worlds ? How do they perceive time and space ? How do they define and express art ? What is love for them ? What drives their pursuit of knowledge and understanding ? What existential questions intrigue them ? I wonder, a lot.
i thought i would post my HAL 9000 model on here that i put together a bit ago.. also the second pic is HIM WITH MY NUKA COLA QUANTUM LAMP!! the crossover ever !

Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)- Chosen agent for the omnipotent and omnipresent entity of Time or God or Fate or Whatever, destined to save and help others while never saving himself, angelic essence and attitude, has encountered the actual Devil
Dave Lister (Red Dwarf)- Considered a god by a whole species he helped "create," inspired multiple holy wars and a massive exodus that caused a near-extinction of said species, fated remaining link to all of humanity, one of his companions has the middle name of Judas
Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)- Elected emissary for the gods of an entire planet, has enough spiritual influence to possibly sway the politics and culture of this planet, experiences several prophetic visions, birth arranged by the gods that have chosen him
Aboard the International Space Station, there's a compact lab about the size of a small refrigerator that makes some of the coldest stuff in the universe. It's called the Cold Atom Lab, and for some time, scientists have been using this chamber to research the strange quantum properties of atoms in microgravity. But on Wednesday (Nov. 15), they announced they've reached a milestone.
Operated remotely by a team with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the Cold Atom Lab officially generated a quantum gas containing two species of atoms. This could ultimately open the door for totally new space-based experiments in quantum chemistry.
When thinking about states of matter, gases, liquids, solids and plasmas are the four well known ones — but there's also an exotic fifth state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, that was first discovered in the 1990s.
This state hasn't been found in nature, but scientists can create it. Bose-Einstein condensates are generated in ultracold labs like the Cold Atom Lab, where lasers or magnets help chill a cloud of atoms close to absolute zero, or -459 degrees Fahrenheit (-273 degrees Celsius). That's the coldest temperature possible in the universe. In this state, atoms slow down, their edges blend together, and scientists can observe quantum effects that are usually very hard to investigate.
I'm starting to get really lonely not having people to discuss all sort of Philosophy, Physics, and Astrology(True Astrology, not this mainstream 'Oh I'm a Libra' stuff), and Ancient civilizations with. I want to have true discussions and study sessions and grow with someone who's willing to learn with me and rant about our favorite aspects of such topics. Having no one within my immediate vicinity to talk to, or to have people look at me and not understand a word I just said has started to make me not want to talk at all, I feel hella lonely.
