AI Thread Summary
The coronal heating problem is not exclusive to the Sun; it affects most stars, where the outer layers exhibit higher temperatures than the inner layers. While many stars experience this phenomenon, the Sun has shown resilience in managing it effectively. The discussion highlights the broader implications of coronal heating across different stellar types. Understanding this issue is crucial for astrophysics and stellar behavior. Overall, the coronal heating problem is a common challenge faced by stars in the universe.

Is the corona heating problem with only Sun? Or all stars having this problem? i.e. outer layer of all stars have high temperature than its immediate inner layer?

Yes, most stars have this problem, but the Sun has always had a good attitude about it and has been able to cope.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Can the signal WOW be explained by the maser effect?'

This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
