Whenever I come across a new tool I can use to help bolster the Cosmic Quest Project, I always put a lot of thought into all the different ways I can utilize the new resource towards my goal of further increasing the realism of immersivity of the Cosmic Quest Project. The same was tru...
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.”...
This cut-off has been well studied and comes about because high energy particles interact with the cosmic microwave background and so lose energy as they travel long distances. But Beane and co calculate that the lattice spacing imposes some additional features on the spectrum. “The...
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 ...
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...

All pipelines are built around the official STScI jwst reduction pipeline60with the addition of custom correction steps for systematics such as 1/fnoise, zodiacal background and cosmic rays.

and the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in Puerto Rico. At every step, she’s had to make her own way. “I’ve found sonification useful for all the data sets I’ve been able to analyze, from the solar wind to cosmic rays, radio astronomy, and x-ray data, but the accessibility of...
This could explain some of the features and irregularities of the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the Big Bang, that are otherwise hard to account for by the standard theory of cosmic inflation [5 3]. The holographic principle also implies that the universe has a finite amount ...
