Lately I've been wondering if there is any practicality in using CCDs transmitting telescopic images to a PC/Laptop and Monitor especially at longer exposure times since the more dim and distant objects appear to us with relatively small displacement that would make for fuzzy imaging. Has...
I don't know if this is the ideal sub-forum for this but I'd like to know more about this very recent activity I first saw here >>>>>'
It looks like this could be some actually testable, actual breakthrough advances in Physics and the evolution of our Universe. Any comments appreciated.
On a lesser note I binge watched the new season of The Expanse and while the cast and production are as compelling as ever, I found it mildly disappointing but that is probably due to the "tough act to follow" syndrome. Not every writing team or story can conclude a brilliant story as perfectly...
I'm rather impressed with a new (2019) gem from the UK which may be rather unfortunately titled Cosmos as there is bound to be some confusion and blurring over that title, but it is well worth seeking unless you don't enjoy the geekier films of the genre. It starts very slowly and takes a long...
Incidentally for those of us who enjoy positive message Sci Fi suitable for whole family viewing Disney's Tomorrowland is a decent experience. It poses a great riddle for kids (and maybe some adults) to ponder -
Some of the Science is typically Disney child-like but it displays a trust in...
I just realized there's a gap in my reading here. I did finally get to see a few seasons of "Expanse" and it's really quite good. I also recently viewed High Life and I concur. It's good and the blend mention is accurate and who wouldn't love a blend of Solaris and Silent Running?
I recently watched what may come to be an important milestone in Sci Fi. Don't get excited yet since it is by no means a "pulse-pounder". It is the 2017 film, The Beyond .
I liked this movie rather a lot while at the same time understanding it's low rating and probably low appeal as far as...
Please forgive my denseness in this matter but my only excuse is that I am literally a half century out of College and I haven't used much beyond rudimentary calculus in any job I've worked. From my learning integers are perfect abstractions because they are constructed and defined that way. I...
He didn't say the opposite. Both are technically consistent. If I may speak on mfb's behalf I think he was merely noting that pressure and volume in a closed system are usually inversely related. You can experience this with a simple garden hose and an adjustable nozzle.
A net search today resulted in a more pointed, more thorough and scientific perspective.

Since genome sequencing is apparently having a major impact on medical science, just to name one field, I am interested in hearing/reading more about this recent event regarding autism. It seems to me this could have far-reaching implications and possibly major impact on how we view...
BTW while this might be "bringing coals to Newcastle" I figured I'd better be perfectly clear that my reference and kudos above for The Arrival does not refer to the Charlie sheen movie of a few years earlier. I was referring to this one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543164/.

It is interesting that you seek to achieve 5KW since that brings back memories of a kit i bought about 40 years ago from a company listed in The Whole Earth Catalog. The kit was for a set of instructions for adapting a Dodge Dart w/ Air Conditioning alternator to produce 5KW-6KW by crafting a...
