WSU Master Class: Inflationary Cosmology with Alan Guth

Posted by in categories: cosmology, physics

Breakthrough Prize winner Alan Guth developed the theory of inflation to answer to our cosmic origins. It’s one of the most studied and debated theories in cosmology, with research propelling Guth’s work to the forefront of scientific conversation.

In this Master Class, Professor Guth addresses what experiments could potentially rule out the BICEP2 results. Since recording this in 2017, the Planck spacecraft collected the data that Professor Guth anticipated, which shows that the initial observations were likely an artifact of interstellar dust, not primordial gravitational waves.

Proposals could give South Bend one of the largest indoor farming campuses in the Midwest

Posted by in categories: food, space, sustainability

SOUTH BEND — The city council gave a unanimously positive recommendation Monday night for two tax abatements that could put South Bend at the epicenter of the hydroponic produce market in Indiana, and possibly the Midwest, for years to come.

JEM Farms South Bend plans to spend as much as $178 million on greenhouses and logistical equipment to grow tomatoes and strawberries throughout the year on land at Calvert Street and Renewable Drive, adjacent to the South Bend Ethanol Plant.

That facility would be located on land owned by Ceres Partners, the agricultural investment group located just south of the University of Notre Dame campus and the original investors in Pure Green Farms.

Obsess: 70% of consumers who visit virtual stores have made purchases

Posted by in category: futurism

A study showed that 70% of consumers who have visited a virtual store have made a purchase, according to a survey by Obsess.

The survey, dubbed the Metaverse Mindset: Consumer Shopping Insights, measured the interest in brands creating immersive virtual stores on their own web sites and “metaverse” platforms.

Obsess is an experiential ecommerce platform that serves those brands. The study measured consumers’ perceptions of and demand for virtual shopping experiences in the metaverse, a market opportunity that Bloomberg Intelligence estimates will reach nearly $800 billion by 2024.

Out-of-control SpaceX rocket will smash into the moon in weeks

Posted by in categories: climatology, satellites

A SpaceX rocket that launched nearly seven years ago is now on course to crash into the moon, astronomers have predicted.

The Falcon 9 booster was launched in February 2015 as part of a mission to send a climate observation satellite 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth, but since running out of fuel, the 4.4-ton (4 metric tons) rocket has been hurtling around space in a chaotic orbit.

The rocket is now expected to hit the far side of the moon while traveling at a blistering speed of 5,771 mph (9,288 km/h) on March 4, 2022, according to Bill Gray, the developer of software that tracks near-Earth objects.

The United States military has a long record of being at the forefront of humankind’s technological achievements. For example, it was the U.S. Navy in the 1940s, led by Admiral Rickover, who pioneered the use of nuclear power as a propulsion device, and that eventually led to nuclear power plants for civilian use. Today, the military again leads the charge into the future with their innovations in robotics and their many applications across the entire infrastructure of the organization. We will talk about MAARS, Robobee, DOGO, SAFFiR and Gladiator!

Modifying One Gene Allows Mice to Live 23% Longer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

“The change in life expectancy is significant, when you consider that an equivalent jump in human life expectancy would have us living on average until almost 120,” lead researcher Haim Cohen of Bar-Ilan University told the Times of Israel.

A longer life: The average human life expectancy has doubled in just the past 200 years, thanks in no small part to scientific breakthroughs in medicine, nutrition, and disease.
