A researcher says shortcut could cut Mars travel time in more than half
Under the best circumstances, a trip from Earth to Mars and back would take a spacecraft three years to complete. And that's during a very specific orbital alignment that occurs once every two years ...
A researcher says shortcut could cut Mars travel time in more than half
A round trip from Earth to Mars takes about three years. New research suggests a potential shortcut to Mars, inspired by an asteroid's orbital path, that would reduce the journey to as little as 153 ...
What does high effort mean when AI has made everything low effort?
it's incredibly easy to ship code now. but, what does this mean when the number of good ideas are tried at levels never seen before? It's not that all AI's are shipping "slop", but it does mean that the number of less than stellar ideas are permeating the space. This is dragging down the average of what's possible. This also has the negative effect of bringing down the perceived value of genuinely good ideas.
I built a bookkeeping app for UK sole traders as a new developer using AI
About a month ago I started building QuarterPerfect — a bookkeeping tool aimed at UK sole traders and landlords, specifically designed around the MTD ITSA changes coming into effect this year (first quarterly deadline: 7 August).A bit of background on me firstly.I'm not a senior developer. My previous project was a small roster app that converted an XLSX shift rota into a calendar with annual leave support — mostly built for me and a few colleagues at work. Nothing with real users, nothing
Show HN: A spacecraft block diagram editor
I work on early stage spacecraft concepts, so I draft and edit spacecraft block diagrams often. Each and every time I'm frustrated by the "fiddliness" of tools like Powerpoint or Visio - lines overlap when I don't want them to, or don't when I do. I fight invisible grids when sizing and placing boxes. Legend entries end up ever-so-slightly misaligned. So I made my own little single-purpose tool.Satblocks is the distillation of my own opinionated set of spacecraft block d

A dying star could create a new universe instead of a black hole
What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new universe inside the dying star. Driven by dark energy, this miniature cosmos would expand and push back against gravity, preventing complete collapse and creating an exotic object known as a gravastar.
Collapsing stars could form gravastars instead of black holes
A black hole is supposed to be the last word in stellar collapse: matter falls inward, spacetime caves in, and a singularity forms where the known laws of physics stop being useful. That picture has long made many physicists uneasy.
