Forgotten Legacy
Two years have passed since I began working here. I am a caretaker, but not in the normal way. My job is to oversee the production of wheat for the I.U.G. or Intergalactic Unified Government. Earth has been chosen as a type zero civilization, which means the planet is used for production with an easily countable population. Currently there is one human per landmass, of which there are seven. The wheat makes the planet particularly beautiful with all the golden fields. It is affectionately known as the golden orb by neighboring planets.

Why You Should Worry About Black Holes
The sun and stars have always fascinated me. I did a bit of astrophysics as part of my physics undergrad degree. And since then, living on a boat as I do, I’ve spent over 400 nights sailing at sea (and I don’t mean in a harbour or anchorage), many of them spent staring up at the cosmos and wondering about it.

Biggest Leap of Human Beings - James Webb Telescope
What is James Webb Telescope? The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory that is set to launch in 2021. It is being developed and built by NASA, with significant contributions from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. The JWST will be able to observe in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing it to see through dust clouds and into the early universe. It is considered as the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope. It will be able to study the first galaxies that formed in the early universe, as well as the formation of stars and planets. It will also be able to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, which are planets that orbit stars other than the Sun.

Asteroids
Asteroids, also known as minor planets, are small celestial bodies that orbit the sun. They are found primarily in the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter where the majority of asteroids are located. While asteroids may not capture the same attention as planets or comets, they offer a wealth of information and scientific opportunities.

Humans Vs Aliens
What is Convergent Evolution of Aliens? The concept of convergent evolution can be applied to the hypothetical idea of extraterrestrial life, or "aliens." If there is other intelligent life in the universe, it is possible that they may have evolved similar adaptations and features to those found on Earth, even if their evolutionary history and environment is vastly different.

A Fifth Fundamental Force in The Universe
This article is about a recently floated proposal that there could be a fifth force of nature, manifested as a scalar field, which could explain some shortfalls in the Standard Model of cosmology.

Exploring the Possibilities: Speculating on Future Scenarios and Outcomes
Introduction As futurists, it's important to consider the potential ramifications of our current actions and decisions. By looking at different possible future scenarios, we can make more informed choices about how to shape the future we want to see. In this blog post, we will examine three potential future scenarios: the continued growth and development of technology, the increasing impact of climate change, and the increasing polarization of society.

Studying a Theoretical Wormhole in a Lab
Studying Scientists have observed quantum entanglement-generated phenomena that are consistent with the properties of a traversable wormhole. The results of their study confirm that relatively small quantum systems on quantum computers can be used to study traversable wormhole dynamics providing a potent testbed for theories of quantum gravity.

Is There a Mirror World?
In case you are already puzzled, the above image is a logarithmic representation of the observable universe. Notable astronomical objects are annotated. Distance from Earth increases exponentially from center to edge. Celestial bodies were enlarged to appreciate their shapes. Rendered specially for Wikipedia.org by Pablo Carlos Budassi.

As I Watch Elon Musk Slowly Sink Into Self-Destruction, he's taking Humanity with him...
Even as I write this, Elon Musk sinks evermore into a mire of BS and narcissism driven by the self-reflective and reflexive magic 8 ball that is the social media of Twitter. Exactly what I warned him about in April of 2022. Both of us have other matters that can take our time and attention away from what should be our primary focus - the survival of Humanity. Twitter has absolutely nothing to do with that, despite what Elon may insist - which confirms my plunging opinion of him - and what his minions may proclaim - only solidifying my opinion of their status of mindless morons.

Breathtaking JWST Image Unlocks New Galactic Secrets About Our Universe
Since the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in December of 2021, NASA has delivered us a plethora of incredible deep space imagery to marvel at. From nebulas to galaxy clusters, the journey for JWST has only just begun.
