Bandersnatch replied to the thread Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?.While the SKA does list search for alien signals as one of its projects, I'd wager my hat on it being there mainly as a media angle. It... -
Bandersnatch replied to the thread Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?.The only interaction available here is tidal deformation. However, it is generally pretty weak, scales only linearly with mass, and very...

Bandersnatch replied to the thread A Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?.But to what extent? Attenuation by 10 or even 90% doesn't preclude detection. It's not all or nothing. You can't just hand-wave it and...

Bandersnatch reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread B Conservation of kinetic energy in expanding space with Like.
One can define the kinetic energy associated with peculiar movement relative to a co-moving coordinate system. In an expanding universe...

Bandersnatch replied to the thread B Conservation of kinetic energy in expanding space.As I see it, the poster is asking about an effect opposite to objects in expanding space asymptotically joining the Hubble flow over...
