Gods & Monsters: Space as Lovecraft Envisioned it

H.P. Lovecraft is known as the father of the Cosmic Horror genre of fiction. The creator of Cthulhu and many other terrifying dark gods in his novels paints a bleak and decaying view of our world and the Universe. Today we’ll examine what it might imply if that nihilistic and grim view of reality was correct.

DARPA-Funded Study Provides Insights into Blockchain Vulnerabilities
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: blockchains, evolution, space
The architecture and evolution of planetary systems are shaped in part by stellar flybys. Within this context, we look at stellar encounters which are too weak to immediately destabilize a planetary system but are nevertheless strong enough to measurably perturb the system’s dynamical state. We estimate the strength of such perturbations on secularly evolving systems using a simple analytic model and confirm those estimates with direct N-body simulations. We then run long-term integrations and show that even small perturbations from stellar flybys can influence the stability of planetary systems over their lifetime. We find that small perturbations to the outer planets’ orbits are transferred between planets, increasing the likelihood that the inner planetary system will destabilize.

Japanese researchers reveal plans for massive artificial-gravity buildings on moon
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: space
Designs for a massive, 1,300 foot-tall rotating structure called “The Glass” were presented at a July 5 press conference held by Kyoto University researchers and Kajima Corporation. If completed artificial gravity building will be on Mars, and the other will be on the moon.
