God yes, thank you! With a name like that I understand why I could not find it again with a typical Google search.

Sounds nice, thanks!

Consider, if it were the case, that the plasma torus left in Io's path as it orbits Jupiter followed the same orbital path as the moon and was not deformed by Jupiter's magnetosphere...thus a space station orbiting Jupiter could effectively orbit in Io's plasma torus. Yes, this is going...

I'm a layman so the following terms are not to be taken to the first degree. I'm searching for a material that offers preferential permeability to magnetic fields. In the article I read (and subsequently lost) the material is offered as an alternative to a Faraday cage in that it doesn't...

Basically I'm searching for a phenomena or mechanism that can take control of a neutron star or a small black hole and use it to create energetic gamma ray bursts encoded with information for interstellar communications, and another similar but distant object on the receiving end would be...

Thanks for the answer, genneth! Albeit I don't understand much of it. Mmm, so QCD matter has the same story as for neutronium then: the only shape you can use it in is that of a gravitionaly-held sphere of the appropriate size, thus mass, since there's no known way of keeping the material...

First post, guys :) Hello all. My only degree is in Earth Sciences, and my physics and astronomy knowledge base is mostly from the pages of Scientific American...and since I'm like a first grader when math time comes...I haven't been able to expand that base by understanding the various...
