Using Radio Waves and Other Means To Make Contact.

Last week I wrote about the WOW! Signal. The most likely candidate for a formal effort of contact from extra-terrestrials due to its irregular and almost artificial qualities. This does pose a thought, are radio waves the best way to establish contact? Although radio signals are received by radio telescopes every day, some are extremely … Continue reading Using Radio Waves and Other Means To Make Contact.

Cosmic Water Series Part 3 – Water in The Early Universe.

 By Jude Morrow My latest two blog posts regarding surface water on Mars and Titan seem to have generated an influx of questions. When researching material for blog series’, the questions and comments seem to give inspiration for future posts. One such comment mentioned a large reservoir of water located at a proper distance of … Continue reading Cosmic Water Series Part 3 – Water in The Early Universe.

The Andromeda Collision

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks. I have been looking into the comments and suggestions on the website for several weeks to gain inspiration for new posts. I've done plenty of posts explaining the curvature of space and time, the movement of the heavenly bodies and how the fabric … Continue reading The Andromeda Collision

Time Travel Using Wormholes.

Time travel has been a key component of science fiction for literally hundreds of years. In our reality, or should I say interpretation of it, is time travel actually possible? Kip Thorne, the most recent Nobel Laureate for physics certainly seems to think so. Thorne theorises that interstellar travel is possible via a wormhole. Thorne … Continue reading Time Travel Using Wormholes.

Wormholes Series : Intro

Alongside black holes and white holes, wormholes have held a position of wonder in real physics as well as science fiction. A wormhole is a theoretical cosmic object that connects two different points in space and time. As per Einstein, wormholes could theoretically connect two different universes. American physicist John Archibald Wheeler coined the term … Continue reading Wormholes Series : Intro

The Spacetime Interval.

When going through the questions and comments of the recent Zodiac series, I found a lot of questions regarding the spacetime interval and realised I didn't go into it in any great detail in last years relativity series. Silly me! When I discussed the spacetime interval in the past, I explained it in the mathematical … Continue reading The Spacetime Interval.

Gravitational Waves

On the 11th of February 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced that they had detected the first evidence of the existence of gravitational waves the previous September. At the time this was a massive triumph for the team that observed them and made headlines worldwide. So what are gravitational waves? In 1916, … Continue reading Gravitational Waves

The Constellation Aries

Aries is located in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere with Pisces to the east and Taurus to the west. Aries comes from the Latin word for Ram. Aries itself is a mid sized constellation ranked 44th in size and it takes up around 1.1% of the celestial sphere we can see. The largest constellation title belongs … Continue reading The Constellation Aries

What Was The Star of Bethlehem?

One of the enduring symbols of Christmas and The Nativity is the star the wise men followed to greet the baby Jesus. The star of Bethlehem as it became to be known, has been researched extensively and there are several hypotheses as to which celestial body the Magi (Wise Men) followed to reach a stable … Continue reading What Was The Star of Bethlehem?
