    High School Odds of Finding Alien Life: An Exploration

    First, you may consider this as an estimate of one prominent futurist and a famous inventor, Ray Kurzweil. He has already proved many times that he is pretty good in technological predictions. According to his estimates, our civilization will become mostly non-biological to the year 2045. It...

    Graduate A Black Hole's Event Horizon: No Particles Have Crossed...Yet

    All of this is correct (for naked BH, meaning that no new matter is falling except those that forms the horizon) only up to the certain point, which I mentioned before. Quantum particles of falling matter are waves too, so time dilation will make their wavelength to increase (in our distant...

    High School Odds of Finding Alien Life: An Exploration

    They may exist and "be everywhere" and not refrain from the contact but the communication still may be impossible. Consider the case of communication with the star traveler moving almost with the speed of light. Small talk can take thousand of years due to the time dilation. And the jetliner...

    High School Odds of Finding Alien Life: An Exploration

    DH, that is exactly what I suggest too. That is to repeat that there exist one scientific solution to the paradox which explains that they may be not intentionally hiding - and still are everywhere (mobile civilization utilizing light speed in the everyday life, see my previous post).

    High School Odds of Finding Alien Life: An Exploration

    There is one almost unknown Fermi paradox solution which I think is the best. The logic of the solution is as follows: to communicate and to rule across the vastness of space, any advanced interstellar civilization will have to synchronize the proper time of its starship travelers and couriers...

    Undergrad Is Faster-Than-Light Space Travel Possible with New Technology?

    I can imagine an interstellar travel that is not that "prohibitively impractical and expensive". Consider something like nanoengineered crystal of microscopic black holes - each of the holes located near each of the atoms of the macro object. Coherent falling of the atoms into the corresponding...

    Graduate A Black Hole's Event Horizon: No Particles Have Crossed...Yet

    Russinnj question is very interesting and from my point of view is definitely messing with the quantum effects. Extremely low observed frequencies (red shift) of that order mean that the energy/matter the black hole consists of become actually unobservable due to the quantum uncertainty. It...
