This is the basis of a cosmic creation process for all interesting things. Cosmic creation is only possible because the expansion of space increases faster than the gas particles can get back to equilibrium, making room for the growth of entropy and disorder, but also of order and information...
“There is nothing as ‘concrete’ in the world as a (computer) bit—it’s more concrete than a photon or electron,” Fredkin states. “It’s not a ‘simulation’ of reality; it’s not something that ‘pretends’ to be reality. It is reality.”...
space-princesses and loveable rogues. From its incredible model work, to its cosmic dogfights, to the look of the opening crawl as it drifts off into the stars, the original Star Wars changed everything – and science-fiction at large has felt the Force ever since.Read the Empire review ...
3.11 Cosmic microwave background The CMB power spectrum carries the imprint of the same acoustic oscillations we described for BAO, sampled on the surface of last photon scattering. The Planck 2018 value of H0=67.4±0.5kms−1Mpc−1 (Planck Collaboration 2020) is notable for its precision,...
the time of recombination, so the distance to the surface of last scattering and the age of the universe are mainly governed byH0and the matter density parameter ΩM, which tells us the fraction of the cosmic critical density in the matter component. The rest is presumed to be dark energy...
As humans, fascination with the night sky stretches back through eras, guided by an urge to explore the cosmic expanse. For older adults in search of stimulation, tools provide access to celestial journeys indoors. Whether living solo or within senior living residences, seniors are able to easily...

1Introduction Cosmic rays (CR) are charged particles mainly composed of protons and light nuclei. Since they can be deflected by irregular Galactic magnetic fields, their arrival directions at the Earth are almost isotropic. Once a primary CR particle reaches the Earth’s upper atmosphere and inter...
