Universe's Expanding Mystery: New Data Challenges Cosmological Models

Universe's Expanding Mystery: New Data Challenges Cosmological Models @neosciencehub #Hubble #cosmology #Earth #supernovae #neosciencehub

In a landmark revelation that has sent ripples through the cosmological community, a team of scientists led by Dan Scolnic from Duke University has unveiled new measurements suggesting that the universe is expanding at a rate that contradicts current theoretical models of cosmology. This growing disparity, known as the Hubble tension, raises fundamental questions about our understanding of the…

Bloodymary this, Bloodymary that, but consider:

Project Hail Mary AU where at some point when Grace and Rocky are preparing to investigate Adrian a third spaceship comes screaming into the system on a completely different vector from what it would need to take to have come from Sol or 40 Eridani. It gets surprisingly close before they notice it because it doesn't have an astrophage drive plume so it only shows up once it's in radar range, however it is also decelerating way faster than either the Hail Mary or Blip-A, at like 3-4 g, which increases to 5 g as it becomes obvious the unknown spacecraft is going to completely overshoot its destination. It gets into actual Adrian Orbit a few days later and moseys over to the pair of ships. It proceeds to buzz them at terrifyingly high relative speed and close distance, then actually maneuvers closer. At this point both Grace and Rocky are seriously concerned that this unknown life form is legitimately hostile.

Up close, it becomes clear that this looks more like an Earth spacecraft than an Eridian one in terms of materials and general design. The main drive is a mystery, but the secondary drive, which it's been using to maneuver around, consists of a massive cluster of goddamn nuclear-thermal rocket engines, which only really have any radiation shielding except between the engines and the crew quarters, so it's lucky the Hail Mary has astrophage shielding. There's also not much radiation shielding anywhere else on that ship. There are multiple smaller vehicles strapped to the sides.

The unknown vessel hails the Mary on the radio, with what is recognizably speech in a language, but filtered through a horrible McDonalds Drive Thru tier connection. It transmits for nearly 15 minutes with what appears to be a stuck mic. The vessel pulls alongside with maneuvering lights blinking on its hull. Then an airlock opens, and a tiny, bipedal figure just steps out into the void with no tether, completely freaking Rocky out. It jets towards the ship on RCS thrusters, maneuvers itself up to the windows, and starts waving and knocking on the glass. Grace is just reflecting on how this must be how stupid he looked trying to communicate with Rocky at first when the alien retracts its reflective visor, leaving Grace staring at some kind of fuckass green muppet.

His name? Jebediah Kerman.

Seven worlds, one star, and a whole lot of cosmic mystery.

Check out this stunning look at the TRAPPIST-1 system, a neighborhood of Earth-sized planets orbiting a cool red dwarf star just 40 light-years away.

Three of these planets sit in the “Goldilocks zone,” where liquid water—and potentially life—could exist.

The entire system is so compact that if you stood on one planet, you’d see the others as large, moon-like discs in the sky!

The James Webb Space Telescope is currently hard at work peeking into their atmospheres to see if any of them could truly be “Earth 2.0.”

Because TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf, it’s much cooler and redder than our Sun. If you lived there, your “daylight” would look like a permanent, deep-orange sunset.

Would you take a one-way trip to a TRAPPIST-1 planet if it meant being the first human to walk on an alien world? Let us know in the comments! 👇

re last answer: please don't stop, being very unhinged about these two pretty white boys is helping distract me from the sharks losing streak rn so bring it on

(sideblog woes but there's the link for you) anyway in the vid they talk about going over to each other's houses to have dinner and things and while that is a delicious example of their codependence i love it bc through an rpf lens there is definitely some old man ******* going on. they can have the dilfs and each other.

(someone else mentioned kept boys which i could write an essay on but i fear being Perceived™️)

anyway if you have anything to add to this please do, if not ignore me and i will hide under a rock until the stress-related insanity has worn off and i am a functioning member of society once more 😂

- @bondedpairs

ty for the video!!! and please, WRITE THE KEPT BOYS ESSAYYYY i promise i will read it with my hands over my eyes if you don’t want to be perceived. do it scared!! do it anyway!! we’ll all love you for it!!!

Speaking of KSP i NEEEEEEEED missions to do Someone give me one

[zgksp]

put up a 3 satellite relay constellation in orbit of kerbin

[zgksp]

ksp is a game where to fix the issue of having too many mods, you install more mods.

also apparently an eldritch deity is contained within the mun and idk how to feel about that

project hail mary is structured like a jool mission

>suicidal/one way mission

>3 person crew with a pilot, engineer, and scientist

>green gas giant

>going into the atmosphere of said green gas giant

>straight up using a kraken drive

[hadr0n]

hey i don't use a kraken drive for my jool missions

i use the cheat menu instead, like any other person who still knows it exists

(press escape, on the menu click 'click for version info' and it brings up the cheat menu because the alt gr + f12 bind doesn't work since 1.12.5. that's how you get infinite fuel and stuff because i am lazy)

[zgksp]

that's weird, alt + f12 still works for me

[hadr0n]

reading the ksp wiki's guide on how to get to eve and this caption is very funny to me

[zgksp]

fyi this is also in the tutorial for duna, the mun, jool, and moho

What do you think of this sci-fi concept? I think I came up with it but if someone else already had this idea pls let me know

A hollow sphere is discovered 43 billion lightyears in radius. The humans can't even imagine what kind of civilization could have built this thing.

Inside the sphere there is artificial gravity...but not generated by rotation

You see I have calculated that with a Radius of 43Billion lightyears the expansion of the universe would be creating enough space within the sphere and the sphere wouldn't be expanding causing the space to move through it. Now moving through space and space moving through you are identical. At this Radius the acceleration outwards would be approximately 9.8ms^-2...the expansion of the universe itself would create the artificial gravity at this scale

A sphere so big it could fit about several galaxies end to end inside it

And the best part is that whilst the scale of it means it is absolutely impossible. ...if it *did* exist it really would work.

With our current understanding of physics and without even needing any ultra advanced material science

If you made the wall of the sphere the exact right thickness and density then the internal gravity would stop the sphere from tearing itself apart and the expansion of the universe would stop it from collapsing....it would be stable and according to our current understanding of physics it really would feel like standing on the surface of the earth standing on the inside of the sphere (since standing on the inside of a uniform hollow sphere the gravity always cancels out you would only experience the push from the expansion of the universe. Hence 1G)

Yes I know the stability would actually be reeeeeeeeeeally fragile. Just keep it away from anything big. Keep it somewhere completely empty like the space between superclusters, or it's own pocket dimension,or a joker 2 theater.
