@S3aCa1mRa1n The actual hype is that evidence of a 5th force of nature was discovered that challenges both Einstein’s general relativity & quantum mechanics at the same time. This 5th force is theorized to be dark matter & this is perhaps our first proof of its existence, beyond “well galaxies need 80% more mass to stay together, so we think...”
Yellow blobs were discovered in our galaxy which turned out to be the primordial stage of star formation. Before this, we just assumed stars formed rather quickly once hydrogen and helium hit a critical gravitational effect and collapsed. Now we know that hydrogen and helium can take thousands of years to gather, giving off x ray light, until the x rays slowly convert into visible light and a star forms. If we ever become a galactic species, we can use these yellow blobs to discover stars at their earliest phases of life & go explore them.
Major advancements in geology and biology here on Earth has given us amazing insight into the early days of Earth. Natural nuclear fission was discovered underground & occurred for millions of years. The heat from fission, paired from the conductive force of friction in our core is responsible for triggering the melting of global ice in a few hundred years that was stable for hundreds of millions of years. The great flood was the closest Earth has ever been to an utopic Eden & caused an explosion of complex micro organisms which evolved into several different forms.
While not confirmed and just a theory. Natural nuclear fission in the Earth has given rise to a new way of thinking about our moon formation. Since the moon and Earth and virtually identical in terms of composition, we can accurately guess that the moon and earth used to be one mass at one point. The commonly accepted theory is a large object hit us & surface blow off eventually reformed into the moon. This new theory suggests a natural supermassive nuclear explosion within the Earths mantle is responsible for our moons formation. Since Uranium has a half life, Earth had a lot more nuclear material billions of years ago. Nearly all of it has half lived away into stable compounds. But back then, a critical mass could have formed deep underground and something like a mega earthquake could have triggered the largest nuclear explosion right here on Earth. Blowing a massive chunk out of the planet that eventually formed our moon. The Earth was hot and active enough back then that the Earth would have been able to correct its shape and return to a sphere.
It is now becoming widely accepted that birds use quantum mechanics in their eyes to literally be able to see Earth’s magnetic field and navigate. That their eyes contain proteins that are stable when not illuminated by photons, but become unstable once illuminated by photons. Once illuminated, the proteins become unstable and start quantum super positioning. This causes quantum pulses to occur in their eyes and the pulses literally make Earths magnetic field visible. This is exciting because it opens an entire new field of quantum biology. There is now lots of interest in discovering other biological forms that evolved to use quantum forces. One major candidate is humans. There is an untested theory that claims that our superior human brains might be due to us utilizing quantum biology. Our brains are incredibly complex, often referred to as the most complex structures in the universe. For good reason too. Studying the brain breaks all senses of our intuition. Same exact way quantum mechanics breaks our sense of intuition. It’s possible our brains reached such confusing complexity by utilizing quantum mechanics. We humans may owe our very intelligence to the quantum realm and I cannot wait for experiments and data to come that either confirms or rejects this theory.
We just flew a drone on Mars. The first successful off world flight, ever.
James Webb telescope will push the observable universe further out for us and will allow us to study SEVERAL unanswered questions and phenomena. Once this thing launches, there will be an explosion of universal scientific discovery.
We are experimenting with solar sail probes and may eventually see some launched to several interesting points new us. Such as to our closest star, to better understand our Oort Cloud and beyond.
Fusion is gaining major ground. KSTAR held a stable fusion reaction for 20 seconds. With the goal of maintaining a stable reaction for 50 seconds by 2035 when the first commercial fusion reactor goes live. USA, Russia and China are in a modern day space race to get to the moon and begin mining helium 3 for fusion fuel.
A new thesis was released on the only known possible warp drive by current physics. There are 4 classes of theoretical warp drives. 3 of the 4 require sciences that break the laws of nature. 1 class works entirely based in our current understanding of how the universe works. While not easy to make, it’s the only one we know of so far that doesn’t break the laws of nature to achieve warp speed. It’s achieved by making a space ship as heavy as a neutron star, accelerating it and allowing time dilation to make it appear to travel faster than the speed of light. The issue here is 100 years would be say, 10,000 years on the outside of the space ship. This could be problematic. However, it’s equally as problematic as taking 20,000 years to reach the nearest star. The takeaway is we have a theoretically functional warp drive that doesn’t break the laws of nature & does not require unknown sciences to achieve.
I could keep going on. We live in the most exciting of times. There’s just so much going on that people tend to not notice the massive advancements happening.
