No its travels along a line in the direction of a star, then another star, and at some point on the return it will travel briefly in the direction of the sun. maybe all the good names are taken. We could call it the Vitaconic or the Viastra. Something with X like Xtervia or Z like Zentrophia or Q like QXZ1.

You can't have your cake and eat it also. the new rule was to keep it sterile witgout having to waste the effort to cool it. The setting is 3.3 millirad/sec for more than 3 minutes. Lifeless. Cold.

Wait . . . . . . .this technology is improving very fast. If it took six months to make a part, not a problem, the typical space prep phases is 5 years to a decade anyway. The other thing is who needs 50,000 windings, its just an example, maybe 2000 would do. If you don't stack, graphene is of little use to you, because its flatness and stackability is one of its key property. When you see 4n+2 think flat, pancakes, 3D ink would have no better conductivity than graphite, you need sheets, long flat sheets.

He wanted fast. If you want cool use a gamma irradiator in a plastic container, it would not heat the food significantly.

uh, no, they have large containers, they remain sterile, and I have actually placed the tupperware in the ice storage of the ice maker and they will cool down in about 30 min. BTW, this is not theory, i have acute tyramine synsitivity, I cannot handle any contamination in the food. I can Make a soup sterile and cool it 30 minutes. 1. Take a whole chicken remove the skin cut off any cut points on the chicken, clean the visceral surfaces, on a sterilzed cutting board cut the pieces, remove as much visceral surface as possible. Never use precut chicken, They don't monitor bacteria on parts, this is where most of the salmonella is, and the ammonia used to sterilize can actually increase monoamines on the surface. 2. Place a limited amount of water in a small pressure cooker, sea salt, and the cut parts. lower volume means faster max pressure 3. Cook 15 at optimal pressure. Place a cold wet cloth on the lid to cool rapidly. 4. At P = STP remove the parts, place fluid in a tupperware and briefly microwave. Small puffy lid and its sterile. 5. Cool in icewater, place in the Ice makers ice storage for a few minutes, crack the lid slightly to reduce vacuum, done, sterile for months.

The whole point of graphene, superconductivity and small was to make it light for use in space. Seriously, if you can reduce the size of something from half a cubic meter to 5 cubic cm do you really care if there if there is a 40K difference in the SC temp. Its small, your in space, a sun shield and a magnetic deflector and your outside temperature is almost there. And we can already use a two stage system that gets us there so .......

I thought i mentioned that, each graphene only need to be two hexagons wide, so you litterally have 4cm/1nm threads running in parallel as one sheet. Critical current is a function of the diameter of the conductor, this conductor is essentially flat. But lets just say you are right, just before going from hyperconductive to super conductive you split your graphene into a flat array of graphene threads. This could be done by essentially rolling the conductors into a spoll instead of using a bar to attach them. Of course 125 A of power is insane for a superconductor, but not farfetched, if the spools are mounted at 45 degrees to what is being accelated and the core is replaced by a magnet you could make the spool longer than a sewing machine spool to increases the number of threads, it really doesnt matter because graphene has a denity below 1 and so you are saving many fold over rare earths. i dont know if you are correct about critical current and graphene, the problem is that with a large sheet if graphene ther is not one 4n+2 orbital, but an infinite number, and so you really have many with approximately basal potential energy orbitals for Electron waves to travel over, As long as dV is infinite on the terminals. This is one of those I wont worry about, graphene has a relatively low thermal stability, so its going to be a couple of decades before you see this be implimented as supermagnets in space, imho, they will work it out. I thought I should explain this 1. suppose we have a single column of aromatic hexagons, we have a single 4n+2 orbital that connects one end to the next 2. if we add another hexagon any where we create 1 additional orbital, roughly the same potential energy. 3. If we add another hexagon anywhere we create 2 additional orbitals. If we keep doing this parallel to the first column of hexagons we create 2n orbitals were n is the length of the original length of the columns in hexagons. The number of equivalent orbitals should approximate (2x)(y-1)/2. Therefore if your transformer is say 50000 turns over 10cm/turn that is 5000 meters and the with two hexagons per nanometer that means you have therefore x = 5 x 1012​ hexagons. If the width is 108 hexagons so that there are around 1020 orbitals to dump electrons into that coonect one end to the other, there are an infinite number of circuitous orbitals to dump electrons into, but the lowest energy orbitals are the orbitals that span the entire sheet, or close to the entire sheet. I don't know if electrons will travel a circuitous route given infinite choices, by increasing the number of threads you would be greatly decreasing the number of lowest energy orbitals, so there might be a tradeoff by threading and doing so without verifying that the sheet width increases heating on the sheet. Uncertainty suggests that the field would be in all paths at once and in all orbitlas distributed according to potential energy. I should also add that by spooling the sheet you a creating a field that is spiraling which in and of itself should create heat, and that the layering would create a good heat insulator......details.

Really? Allow the pot to cool in a gamma irradiator 3.3, no problem. http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/food/irradiation/irradiation-facts/how-do-irradiators-work/ Take several strong black lights and place it in the fridge with the pot before the pot cools. Take a 0.25 micron filter and wrap the lid pot interface sealing any holes or gaps. What do you call a prfoundly high tech solution that is overkill for a commonly solved household problem, like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a housefly? We could create a fantastic cryogenic cooler that radiates heat at 5000 meters elevation, over a 100 sq mile area, and a giant vacuum pump that compresses the air to 500 PSI and then cools it to -50K. Then you could store the air in a giant under ground container extracting any moistue from it, in about a 1000 years you would have removed enough of eaths atmoshere that microbes could no longer live. Those pesky oceans would have to be cryogenically frozen, of course, so you would need a million mile wide disk at ESL1, and it would take some time for the radiant heat inside the earth to dissipate. Or, you could use common sense, put it in a tupperware or microwavable plastic container with a snap lid and microwave it until the lid swells a little, then refridgerate it, sterile for about three weeks.

I think not. For this to work water needs to turn to vapor as it is being released cooling the surface it is released form which means its a single molecule which also means quantum mechanics is somewhat applicable. The ship it is released from is accelerating, and the medium the water droplet it is released from contains UV, X rays and solar-wind, sometimes densely charged solar winds. If any of these things hit your little water vapor molecule, its gone, goodbye, adios, sayonara. The problem can be limited by injecting into a pot, the problem is that the energy released is attenuated by any attempt to contain the resulting stream of particles.

The earths orbit is not circular.

I dont have a problem with going to the moon, byt frankly the idea in the article iis dumb. I work with water under a vacuum, it sublimates real easy, the flask at room temperature in about thirty minutes are covered with ice and if you isulate them the temperature is around -30C. I actually freze the flask to get them going by twirling them in an alcohol gel in frozen carbon dioxide. Even at that starting condition in about 6 hours all the water is gone.The amount of ice you would recover at the moons poles would not be enough to brush your teeth with for how many hours of work? and it certainly could not pay for a mission to the poles. You can pressurized hydrogen to 3000 PSI and in space at space temperatures, keeping them at L2 or shielded and the sun you are pressurized damn near to liquid hydrogen, same is true for oxygen. just buy one or two of those 100 ton payload rockets from the russians and start parking fuel at L2 when the time comes to go, liquify the hydrogen and oxygen and fill up the tank. 900 days is too long, but it will take 1.8 years to get back no matter what. All you need to do is to create a station at L2, manned with one engineer. Once your spaceship is almost ready bring your Mars crew and send the engineer home. Seriously, mining water on the moon for space flight, this cannot be a serious plan, the moon is a desert that puts atacama to shame. L

Even if it was a jupiter sized object we could see it transit the stars in infrared. Jupiter will put off infraed for billions and billions of years longer that the sun so its age doesn't matter. http://i.imgur.com/8HrAl.jpg

Damn, that would be useful, there's your Mars launch system, all you need is a way to stop when you get there.

jThanks, but credit reddit r/everythinScience I tell people the sad truth is that we did once, and now we stumble to do something a fraction of the effort. Certainly the political beaurocratic establishment has not helped. One look at congress and sigh.

Given thier orbital periods and thier distance and the sheer number of comparbale sized objects I would have to doubt that, From my POV in order to neutralize Neptunes effect it would have ot be saturn size object 4-6 times the pluto sun distance. Couldn't be a neutron star, that's too big, brown dwarf would still be active even 10billion years in age. It could be a dense boson, left over from the explosion a nova, doubtful. Even so it would little comparable effect on inner belt objects. The other thing they may have not considered these planets were all seeded from the same nucleus, a mush ball that was struck at an oblique angle by a similar sized object throwin out pieces that the later cleaned thier orbits and created hybrid orbits with the matter they accreted. Calculate the gravitational field of Neptune as it passes closest to each of these objects and compare that force to the graviation they have on each other, these planetoids cannot even clean thier own orbit. 2 of Pluto's moon look like comets.

One has to wonder what the ISS would have looked like had it not been for MIR. I had my MIR moment in my last game, its really hard to anticipate your needs unless you play the game for a while, and I began to appreciate MIR.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/09/03/is-there-a-planet-x-a-massive-perturber-hidden-beyond-pluto/ This article is basically that a large graviational object can explain the orbital parameters of bodies beyond neptune.

I hope you're not asking me, I'm just guessing. Hubble inconsistenceies could be from light reflection contamination from other objects. I found this type of science speculative. What they are saying is that the composite light from closeup and Hubble changed, i supoose if you had a snowstorm or vapor of any kind the light would depolarize and you could detect this no matter how bad the focus was, but that may not also include other light sources. For example the light from stars in intergalactic space that are to small to be seen by hubble. I was just having this conversation this PM about a clinical science issue, with statistics you can have a p-value of 10E-50 and thats great, but then you have to resample and study in different ways to figure out what it means. Problem is that New Horizon has well passed and what they are needing would be a satellite.

Hydrogen Oxygen Fuel cell, easier to recycle water back into either. Once Gasoline is burnt, its wasted carbon dioxide mass and the water is difficult but not impossible to recapture. - - - Updated - - - Who knew the russians were still working on such lofty ideas. But . . . . .this is an insane idea. This is in-silico analysis, and its a fail. Solar weather changes at 500,000 miles per hour, if the solar flux changes the computer would not have a chance to collect water vapor molecules already in motion and they would be lost.

So you might ask how could we forcast the next snow storm on Pluto,mor you might ask why we would want to, or you might even ask can the hubble be used to predict pluto's weather. Or you might say someone has too much free time on their hands. http://www.nature.com/news/pluto-snow-forecast-poses-atmospheric-conundrum-1.18274?WT.ec_id=NATURE-20150904&spMailingID=49465812&spUserID=Njk3NjE5NzEwMzgS1&spJobID=760401953&spReportId=NzYwNDAxOTUzS0

http://phys.org/news/2015-09-law-implies-thermodynamic-black-holes.html I don't know why they think this is new, quantum singularities are not expected to measure of time like relativistic space does. Basically what they are saying is that time scatters about like other singularities.

I used to let SETI at work run on our 250 mmx file and print server, that was before our institute install Symantec enterprise edition and the stupid altera conform program, basically took all memory to run applications in the background. I'de run it now except the corperate stuff takes 2 gigs of memory and I have to make sure folks can spool up their print jobs. He's making the assumption that peeps don't care, we do care. I used to do the transect spotting also. They got all corporate over the types of machines best designed for running SETI for security reasons. But the damn server does not run any application software, not even IE, and is file encrypted and at almost zero risk for hacking, and no patient information. You can thank HIPAA for that one size fits all governance. On the other hand we also used to play Quake after 5 on Zero lag T1 connections with other folks on the same router. The day those stupid Jets hit the towers, everything changed, we went from being a open science Inst, to an orwellian security operation.

No, you don't get it, Graphene is flat, really flat, in fact its one of the flattest things we know of, the pi* 4n+2 orbitals stick out 1A on either side, the lithium adds another 1.5A on either side. But without lithium, in nature 4n + 2 orbitals love to stack, that stacking explains the double helical nature of DNA. They like to point the hole of those little donut orbitals at each other (grand oversimplification). You can roll graphene ever so slightly creating a wrap, and if you can do that you can create and electromagnet with many many windings. And graphene can potentially be made very long. In space if you were to print out graphene and let it roll out into an hv free area, the 4n+2 orbitals would be perfectly flat following space-time curvature, forever. And if you place an electron on one end and test the voltage potential at the other end, that EMF immediately appears, because according to one report, the lowest potential energy 4n +2 orbital is a quantum singularity. Imagine a 3D printer that can print graphene, and it is printing a graphene sheet on a very smooth thread spool used for a sewing machine, and while it is printing I am turning it so that when I am done I put 500,000 windings on it. Lets say with molecular (metal alloy) appending that thickness reduces to 50,000 but I can gain superconductivity, that means I have say 50,000 windings. At the ends I spread the superconducting graphene out into a wide area of regular graphene that then I connect to my powersupply (basically the relay would be like a flat pole you might find in any household distribution center), somewhat tricky because you would have to fork the interior most winding out and turn it backwards. With proper terminal insulation I could place 0.1V on that assume the maximum amperage I can place at the poles is say 125 Amps (limit of most residental distribution centers), calculate the EMF on say a magnetizable supermetal place in the center hole of the spool. Then you get it. So now if each graphene hexagon is spread 4A apart and I have a 4 centimeter of graphene that means on each hexagon I am dropping 125A across 106 (.125 millamps per hexagon) contact points of superconductive material or if I connect this with non-superconductive graphene at room temperature, the contact might be a 0.4 meter (.0125 millamps per hexagon). So basically the transformer that powers your house is doing roughly the same thing, but its about a meter high and a third of a meter wide, and embedded in really dangerous oil (most of the environmental PCPs came from transformers of that like), and I am basically doing half of that with a sewing machine spool sized device. We have to assume via Quantum mechanics that we can dump 1 electron onto the orbital at the rate of 1/10-43 sec , and so you can use highschool physics to calculate the number of electrons in an amp. 6.25x 1018 So basically that is not rate limiting, the only rate limiting problem is the transfer heat on the transfer pole and its effect on distal superconducting. Agreed that temperature is a problem, but if the Tmax can be improved with other metals and configurations, this offers a tremendous potential. Imagine three printers, one prints a layer of metal on the spool and the other prints a layer of graphene as it passes the other side of the spool, then a third prints a third layer of metal on the other side, and possibly a forth prints a thin layer of insulation say polyethylene, and you do this 50,000 times. . . . . . . . . Some of the things one could do. Charge particle accelerators such as in an ion drive, imagine increasing the ISP to say 100,000 for xenon. Small size, not much heat generation, better ion control. Space weapons, asteroid control. Mass accelerators (carbon widely available on asteroid, very close to the desired oxidation state). Space mail, package accelerators.
