  • I wish people would realize that terraforming is the only way we’re going to colonize other planets.

    Sci-fi showed us landing on Earth-like planets and making a new home. Reality will show us dying in a completely alien biosphere as bacteria and viruses we have zero resistance against ravages our bodies the moment we’re exposed to it. And we’d expose the new biosphere to pathogens it has zero resistance to.

    We might be able to adapt by living in a protected environment (i.e. our biosphere) and slowly exposing generations of our descendants to the new biosphere. But many, many of us would die in the process. Not to mention genetic mutations.












  • It’s that t-229 can have its nucleus excited using far less energy than regular atomic clock nuclei.

    That leads to ultra precise excitation using wavelengths that cancel out some of the fundamental forces within the atom.

    That leads to us being able to monitor at a trillion to one ratio those forces based, in part, on mathematical ‘constants.’ In the excited state we can measure if there’s even the smallest variance in force, which in turn may mean that some ‘constants,’ aren’t.

    However the real testing of that is in the future as they estimate that a 10 trillion to one ratio is needed.

    Theory described a door, research defined the door and possibly what’s behind it, and experimentation just opened the door.
