SpaceX plans to send the Starship to orbit.
SpaceX is gearing up to launch the Starship into orbit, the biggest test yet for the ship designed to send humans to Mars and beyond.
These two graphs illustrate the exponential growth in chip transistor counts, from 1970 until 2100.
These features could have a special significance for the Earth’s evolution.
When it comes to the universe and all of its mysteries, there are many things we know we don’t know. Some are minor and mostly inconsequential, but there are other cosmological unknowns that leave huge blanks in our understanding of how things work on large and small scales. How our planet was created is one such mystery. Let’s go all the way back to the beginning when the Sun was just a clump of gas and dust to understand how our solar system may have formed.
## How stars form.

This doesn’t look like your trusty potato battery: a prototype device made by scientists at the University of Maryland uses wood fibers coated with carbon nanotubes to create an electric current.
The Slow Mo Guys are known for their slow-motion videos, but this time they went to Caltech to utilize the world’s fastest camera. What exactly did they want to shoot? 10 trillion frames per second is the speed of light.
To put things in perspective, the cameras they routinely use, while excellent, are still 20 million times slower than this one from Caltech. They collaborated to try to capture the speed of light. The speeds are measured in picoseconds and femtoseconds. We can see why the Slow Mo Guys are ecstatic about their new initiative.
The algorithm estimates how weights will need to be altered on the forward pass, and the estimates perform comparably to backpropagation.
