Radiating Heat in Space
In space, there are no molecules to whisk away body heat, so heat would be radiated away from the skin. The lack of matter to draw heat away means someone would feel cold in space, like a human popsicle.
Information Inside Black Holes
When a particle escapes a black hole, it carries information about what the black hole has consumed throughout its history. The black hole does not lose information, and it is recoverable through Hawking radiation.
Exploring the Solar System
The priority for exploring the solar system is to do it all. This includes landing humans on Mars, sending probes to Europa and Enceladus, building a base on the moon, and more. Expanding our knowledge and access to resources in space can benefit our species and lead to new scientific discoveries.
Space as a Force for Peace
Space exploration can also provide a force for peace by removing the scarcity of resources that has fueled conflict throughout human history. Rare elements and energy sources are abundant in space, which can help alleviate the competition and competition for limited resources on Earth.
Would aliens think we are smart? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer grab bag questions on Chandrayaan-3, entangled particles in black holes, the shape of the galaxy, and more.
