    A job for the Webb space telescope kraken onion “We got 53 candidates for anomalies that cannot be well explained but can’t say that all of them are Dyson sphere candidates because that’s not what we are specifically looking for” said Gabriella Contardo a postdoctoral research fellow at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste Italy who led the earlier study. She added that she plans to check the candidates against Suazo’s model to see how many tie into it. https://kra30att.cc кракен вход “You need to eliminate all other hypotheses and explanations before saying that they could be a Dyson sphere” she added. “To do so you need to also rule out that it’s not some kind of debris disk or some kind of planetary collision and that also pushes the science forward in other fields of astronomy — so it’s a win-win.” Both Contardo and Suazo agree that more research is needed on the data and that ultimately they could turn to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for more information as it is powerful enough to observe the candidate stars directly. However because of the lengthy competitive procedures that regulate use of the telescope securing access might take some time. If Dyson spheres really exist what could they be used for? “If you picture ourselves having as much energy as the sun is providing every second we could do unheard of things” Suazo said. “We could do interstellar travel maybe we could even move the entire solar system to our preferred location if we wanted.” But don’t hold your breath because the technology and the raw materials required to build the hypothetical structures are far beyond humanity’s grasp. “They are so big that everything we have on Earth would not be enough to build them” Suazo added. “Freeman Dyson said that we should dismantle Jupiter — the whole planet for the raw materials.” That supercolossal scale probably means that Dyson spheres if they exist at all are very rare.

    Broken spheres Dyson died in 2020 before any of his spheres could be found — although they are just one of a dozen ideas that bear his name. kra31at “As a young scientist Dyson showed that three competing quantum theories were actually the same theory — he summarily ended the competition” said William Press the Leslie Surginer Professor of Computer Science and Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. He was not involved in the study. “Later he applied his genius to areas of astronomy cosmology the extraterrestrial realm and also the very real problem of nuclear proliferation here on planet Earth. At the time of his death he was recognized as a provocative and creative thinker.” George Dyson also attested to his father’s fascination and comprehensive reach across disciplines. https://kra30att.cc kra30at “Taking advantage of a short attention span and an aversion to bureaucracy he contributed to five fields of mathematics and eleven fields of physics as well as to theoretical biology engineering operations research literature and public affairs” the younger Dyson said. “Many of his ideas were controversial with one of his guiding principles being that ‘It is better to be wrong than to be vague.’” The approach of the researchers behind the new study could offer a more fruitful path in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence said Tomotsugu Goto an associate professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He also was not involved with the study. “However contamination by circumstellar debris disks which mimic Dyson Sphere infrared signatures remains a concern” he added in an email. “Authors argue that the debris disks around dwarf stars are rare but the 7 candidate authors selected out of 5 million sources are also rare. Despite this the seven candidates warrant further investigation with powerful telescopes for a more definitive evaluation.”

    Why axolotls seem to be everywhere — except in the one lake they call home kraken войти Scientist Dr. Randal Voss gets the occasional reminder that he’s working with a kind of superstar. When he does outreach events with his laboratory he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders called axolotls. The amphibians’ fans tell Voss that they know the animals from the internet or from caricatures or stuffed animals exclaiming “‘They’re so adorable we love them’” said Voss a professor of neuroscience at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “People are drawn to them.” https://kra30s.cc Кракен тор Take one look at an axolotl and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes upturned mouths and pastel pink coloring axolotls look cheerful and vaguely Muppet-like. They’ve skyrocketed in pop culture fame in part thanks to the addition of axolotls to the video game Minecraft in 2021. These unusual salamanders are now found everywhere from Girl Scout patches to hot water bottles. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery exploitation of the natural world and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature. A scientific mystery Axolotl is a word from Nahuatl the Indigenous Mexican language spoken by the Aztecs and an estimated 1.5 million people today. The animals are named for the Aztec god Xolotl who was said to transform into a salamander. The original Nahuatl pronunciation is “AH-show-LOAT”; in English “ACK-suh-LAHT-uhl” is commonly used. Axolotls are members of a class of animals called amphibians which also includes frogs. Amphibians lay their jelly-like eggs in water and the eggs hatch into water-dwelling larval states. In frogs these larvae are called tadpoles. Most amphibians once they reach adulthood are able to move to land. Since they breathe in part by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin they tend to stay near water. Axolotls however never complete the metamorphosis to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water. “They maintain their juvenile look throughout the course of their life” Voss said. “They’re teenagers at least in appearance until they die.”

    Trailer trucks queue to cross into the United States at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in Tijuana Mexico November 27 2024. Jorge Duenes/Reuters New York CNN — блэк СЃРїСЂСѓС‚ Since President Donald Trump won the election in November businesses across the globe have been bracing for higher tariffs — a key Day One promise the president made. But over a week into his presidency Trump has yet to enact any new tariffs. bs2best.at That could change come 11:59 p.m. ET on Saturday — the deadline Trump set for when he says he will slap 25 tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian goods and a 10 tariff on all Chinese goods. The tariffs he said will be imposed as a way of punishing the three nations which Trump claims are responsible for helping people enter the country illegally and supplying fentanyl consumed in the US. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office on Thursday Trump said he meant business especially with his tariff threats on Mexico and Canada. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed on Friday that Trump will levy the 10 tariff on China on Saturday. блэкспрут сайт Should these threats be believed? Yes and no said Trump’s former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. блэкспрут https://mbs2best-at.ru The threat of blanket tariffs is likely being overstated Ross said in an interview with CNN. “There probably will be exclusions because there are some goods that just are not made here will not be made here and therefore there’s no particular point putting tariffs on.” Ross who was one of a handful of initial cabinet members in Trump’s first administration who kept their position for the entire four-year term said he advocated for such exclusions when he advised Trump on tariff policies. блэк СЃРїСЂСѓС‚ ссылка

    ‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence kra30cc What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar panels that completely surrounds a star — harnessing all the energy it produces. “One should expect that within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star” wrote Dyson in a 1960 paper in which he first explained the concept https://kra30c.cc kraken тор If it sounds like science fiction that’s because it is: Dyson took the idea from Olaf Stapledon’s 1937 novel “Star Maker” and he was always open about that. The late scientist was a professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. Still coming from a thinker who some in the scientific community say might have been worthy of a Nobel Prize early in his career the concept took hold and the hypothetical megastructures became known as Dyson spheres even though the physicist later clarified that they would actually consist of “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star.” In his paper Dyson also noted that Dyson spheres would give off waste heat detectable as infrared radiation and suggested that looking for that byproduct would be a viable method for searching for extraterrestrial life. However he added that infrared radiation by itself would not necessarily mean extraterrestrial intelligence and that one of the strongest reasons for searching for such sources was that new types of natural astronomical objects might be discovered. “Scientists at the time were largely receptive not to the likelihood that alien civilisations would be found to exist but that a search for waste heat would be a good place to look” said George Dyson a technology writer and author and the second of Dyson’s six children via email. “Science fiction from ‘Footfall’ to ‘Star Trek’ took the idea and ran with it while social critics adopted the Dyson sphere as a vehicle for questioning the wisdom of unlimited technological growth.”

    A federal judge on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked part of the Trump administration’s plans to freeze all federal aid a policy that unleashed confusion and worry from charities and educators even as the White House said it was not as sweeping an order as it appeared. https kra17 at entry login The short-term pause issued by US District Judge Loren L. AliKhan prevents the administration from carrying through with its plans to freeze funding for “open awards” already granted by the federal government through at least 5 p.m. ET Monday February 3. kra29 cc The judge’s administrative stay is “a way of preserving the status quo” while she considers the challenge brought by a group of non-profits to the White House plans AliKhan said. kra29 cc “The government doesn’t know the full scope of the programs that are going to be subject to the pause” AliKhan said after pressing an attorney for the Justice Department on what programs the freeze would apply to. AliKhan is expected to consider a longer-term pause on the policy early next week. captcha kra17 cc The White House budget office had ordered the pause on federal grants and loans according to an internal memorandum sent Monday. Federal agencies “must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance” White House Office of Management and Budget acting director Matthew Vaeth said in the memorandum a copy of which was obtained by CNN citing administration priorities listed in past executive orders. http kra17 at https://kra30at.ru
