Major Milestone: NASA’s Webb Space Telescope Discovers Earliest Galaxies in the Universe

Posted by in category: space

Astronomers report the most distant known galaxies — detected and confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) is an orbiting infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers longer wavelengths of light, with greatly improved sensitivity, allowing it to see inside dust clouds where stars and planetary systems are forming today as well as looking further back in time to observe the first galaxies that formed in the early universe.

Star Trek: 10 Most Deadly Starships Across The Franchise

Posted by in category: space

One thing the Star Trek franchise has no shortage of across its many iterations and separate series storylines is the array of world-ending technological horrors always facing the constantly hounded Federation, and The Original Series started it all with this planet-destroying weapon of unknown origin which appeared in the episode of the same name.

Though the crew never quite figures out exactly what it is or where its origins lay, Kirk theorized it was constructed as a bluff to deter one side of an undetermined galactic war, reflecting the Mutual Assured Destruction fears of the time between the U.S. and Russia. It’s pretty much Star Trek’s famous answer to the Death Star, albeit ten years before Episode 4 would make its debut.

Lab experiment may confirm how the ingredients of life formed in outer space

Posted by in category: space

Scientists now believe that a burst of life known as a gamma ray may have helped play a vital role in the origins of life on Earth. Further, the finding may actually provide some clues as to how the ingredients of life formed in space. According to a new study published this month, scientists may have actually proven how those ingredients formed, too.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Purchase Raises Concerns for MENA Region

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, Elon Musk, government, space, sustainability

“The likelihood of a cyber-attacks on Twitter feel very high right now and their ability to be able to counteract that feels very low,” Radcliffe said. “The amount of information that they have on users is considerable and I think that that’s a potential source of concern, particularly in countries in the Middle East and other places where once the information is on the open market and in the public domain it could potentially be harmful to users.”

Partnering with individuals or groups close to authoritarian regimes raises concerns over how Twitter might react should it be pressured by supply information on dissidents or to quell opposition speech. They also raise questions about Musk’s potential conflict of business interests concerning Tesla and Space X’s availability in certain markets.

Such questions have already been brought up by at least one member of the US Congress. But experts say they’re much more concerned about data security should Twitter go under.

Evolutionary computation: Keith Downing at TEDxTrondheim

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, space

Keith Downing is a professor of Computer Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life. He has a particular interest in evolutionary algorithms, which have applications ranging from the development of the Mars Rover antenna, patented circuits, early driverless cars, to even art. For computer scientists to learn from nature, he believes there needs to be a shift in our traditional ways thinking.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
