Thanks! These are very interesting! I think they will help a lot. :D

I have spent many hours today trying to determine at what distances certain substances will condense in protoplanetary disks around stars or temperatures different to that of our sun. I have come to the conclusion that the Inverse-Square Law is key to determining this. However, I am unsure as...

Can we assume that it has been cooling at a constant rate throughout those 11 billion years?

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the rate of cooling for the CMBR. I understand that the rate of cooling is directly related to the rate of expansion of the universe, but I lack the mathematical prowess necessary to make any use of this. I am specifically trying to determine...

Matter-Antimatter is actually something I considered. The only questions I have about it are how much anti-matter would be needed to accelerate to cruising velocity and then decelerate back to a resting velocity? And how do you get that much anti-matter? Thanks for your help, by the way. I'm...

For this scenario I have been assuming the drive to be a very advanced technology that consumes little to no mass. Perhaps something that employs manipulation of gravity, negative mass or distortion of space-time to produce propulsion? However, I do not want the hypothetical technology to be...

Alright, so there is more information required to determine this? Would these values help? - The object has an initial velocity of 3070.00 m/s. - The desired cruising velocity is 98.2% of c (294,396,193.76 m/s) - The drive is exerting a constant force produced by 200,000 gigawatts of...

Hello, First, I'm not much of a physicist. My area of study is largely in environmental sciences and geology, but I've been trying to determine the appropriate equations to use to calculate the rate of acceleration for an object in a vacuum using its mass and the power available to drive it...
