Colonization: Venus

To stabilize Venus biosphere, a large planetoid could be introduced into the system, which would set the planet moving in a different spin.  Normally, Venus has one face always facing the sun which causes superheating ... one imagines this is a major contributor to the nearly 500 degree lead-melting surface temp.

Another hope is that any flora inhabiting the clouds successfully integrate new DNA(?) allowing them to multiply and dwell at lower and lower heights (current estimates range from 30-40 km above surface for archaeans).  This obviously pulls down more and more carbon and the greenhouse effect gets slowly tempered.  As water is held in greater and greater amounts in cytoplasmata  oceans are formed with microenvironments merging.

The gravity is already comparable to this earth's so why not plan a colony someday?

eclipses and coronae

The recent conjunction of a lunar eclipse with a winter solstice, the last such occurrence taking place 372 years ago, allowed some scientists to view the earth's bioprint as they studied the fluctuations in the shadow it cast on our nearest astral neighbour.

This might lead one to search for similar flux in distant stars, as proxies for habitable (M class in any case) worlds.  For example, if one watched the corona of Arcturus for a century, one could mark the transit of various objects should these fall in the same plane as ours.  A stemming question would be, do the orbitals of other systems follow the galactic plane?  This would be a most useful thing to check in our proposed study.

Other activity around the corona might include the space traffic of more intelligent life forms, which may be more erratic than a simple elliptical orbit.  The corona of the star would presumably be a place where such transits would be more highly discernible, as the background is in the twilight between the blazing more central regions, and the vast blackness beyond.

Gigaverse Theorem: Mass Increases with Time

Theorem: The universe is expanding, its mass is too.

Proponents of Big Bang often miss the obvious solution to the mass problem. Some call on dark matter or other mysteries to fill the void.  Far from such ethers lies a simple solution, one which integrates higher-order structure and proposes a simple and obvious mechanism.

Let's assume for a minute that what lies at the centre of our galaxy is super-massive, perhaps a black hole>  Or, could it be a wormhole, which links different universes together, sort of a Gigaverse.

It's like a spider spinning out a web, the Milky Way, throwing out stars at the event horizon and perhaps even pulling things in, as Hawking proposes. What experiment or observation could be helpful in assessing the hypothesis?

Focus B Moons etc.

Focus B let's call it for future discussions, apparently forms a nexus of forces intersecting in opposition to Sol. The most interesting fact I could spot on a table of eccentricities is the fact the Venus has a near-circular orbit (with no moons) while Earth has eccentricity (with a relatively large moon).  Thus we can simply adhere to the sum-of-forces calculus.  There are surely programmers out there building matrices for such models.

Atrial Fibrillation POsitive?

Could atrial fibrillation serve a useful purpose? What if microscopic invaders can be shorn by the motion? What type of study could be designed around this problem>?

The Wealth of Nations, Part 2

The true cornerstone of any future economy will of necessity require profit sharing.  Not like the days of old, we extract it, we own it or tax it.  No, if we are to be responsible for the future generations in proper form it must be a Green model and a red model.  For they are us in situ.
