Unser mysteriöses Universum

On September 24th 2014, ISRO will be one of the handful of organizations that will have deployed a spacecraft beyond the Earth-Moon orbit. That too in its first attempt. Missions to mars are notorious for failing en-route due to a wide variety of reasons. Mangalyaan being integrated the PSLV rocket’s payload enclosure However lately ISRO seems to have taken valuable lessons from its first deep space mission Chandrayaan, as well as failures of other agencies. Mangalyaan is just a technology demonstrator project for ISRO. The mini orbiter is was built on a shoestring budget of $25 million. It will arrive just a day after NASA’s Maven orbiter reaches Mars. ISRO was earlier aiming for a much heavier payload to send to Mars. However delays in building a heavy lift rocket and the limited launch window in 2013 forced ISRO to make up for lost time and send a lightweight 500Kg craft instead. Mangalyaan Science MOM’s primary mission payload is the methane sensors on board, ca...

Primordial Chill Hints at Dark Matter Interactions in Early Universe A simple experiment has detected a signal from the first stars forming just 180 million years after the Big Bang. The observations have intriguing implications for the nature of dark matter.   The first stars began to shine just 180 million years after the Big Bang , according to new observations by a team of American radio astronomers. The evidence comes from observations of neutral hydrogen gas that pervaded the early universe. But surprisingly, the same observations show an unexpected chill in this gas — a result that could hint at non-gravitational interactions with dark matter . “This is a really cool result,” says Michiel Brentjens (Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy), who was not involved in the study. “It’s an important first step in revealing how the very early universe behaved.” For years, astronomers like Brentjens have been trying to detect the early univers...

“ CAN YOU BUILD ME A HYPERBOLIC TI ME CHAMBER? ” Almost 110 years ago our view of time was changed forever. Time wasn’t part of the immutable stage of life but it was an active player. We finally understood how to squeeze time and how to stretch it thanks to a German patent officer named Albert Einstein. Einstein’s most famous thought experiment regarding time dilation is the Twin paradox. We have two twins, one goes into a spaceship that moves near the speed of light for a few hours and when he comes back to Earth, years have passed and his twin has aged significantly. Where t is the proper time (in the twin paradox the time that passes on Earth) while t 0  is the time for the moving observer. Now let’s talk about the  hyperbolic time chamber . In the Manga and Anime Dragon Ball Z there’s a special room where you can spend a year in there and only one day would have passed on Earth. My friend wants me to build him that, so let’s substitute our values i...
