    Something similar to that happened in the book 'voyage to alpha centauri' but i can't think of any book that would fit exactly. Sorry!

    SpaceX SpaceX to conduct a manned flyby mission around the moon

    Hmmm. I think the flight itself might be feasible, especially because it doesn't need to land. However, 'two private individuals' does not sound as though they have trained in spaceflight (although who knows!) and that might be a problem with such a short timeframe. This is very a idealistic...

    What absorbs impact better, hard plastic or silicon?

    when he said silicon I was assuming a sort of malleable silicon case that is commonly seen in phone cases, not conductor silicon - however I see your point and foam rubber sounds feasible

    What absorbs impact better, hard plastic or silicon?

    silicon- absorbs shock better if you use plastic it will most likely crack depending on how hard it is

    Are Fictional Eclipses Limited by Scientific Cycles?

    Since you are creating a fictional universe I assume that there is plenty of room for artistic liberty. Also, if you need the eclipses to happen in longer/ shorter intervals you could simply adjust the speed and vector of your moon or satellites orbit to compensate. Good luck.

    Schwarzschild radius calculation

    Is this the proper formula for calculating the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole? rs = 2GM / c2 If it is not, or if anyone has one that might work better, could you refer it to me?

    I'm having some trouble understanding bra-ket notation?

    I have been studying quantum physics for some time, yet I still cannot seem to understand the principles behind bra-ket notation (especially how spin states are described and the probabilities/eigenvalues). It would be great if someone could give me a basic explanation and/or maybe recommend...
