I first heard it a couple of years ago, and I first thought it was a car engine running outside the house. It was no car there. So, I heard it a couple of times again, and then I lost it. Last week I read a report « Strange hum » in a daily newspaper, can you imagine how surprised I was to learn that other people had heard something alike? I tried to hear it, and yes it is still there. Not so loud, coming and going. I think I will try to build a humreceiver to make this strange phenomenon visible.I´ll be back with further reports from the Swedish westcoast.

Premier chapitre de notre série d’articles sur les « pa- renthèses refermées », ce concept qu’utilise Jean-Do- minique Séval pour décrire la manière dont la révolu- tion numérique nous ramène à des comportements et modes d’organisations ancestraux. Pour le directeur général adjoint de l’IDATE Digiworld, le retour de l’oralité est sur le point de clôturer une parenthèse de plusieurs siècles de culture écrite. Le règne de la vidéo sur les réseaux sociaux, l’avènement des intelli- gences articifielles et celui des chatbots ont déjà enta- mé cette transition. Cela risque de bouleverser jusqu’à nos façons de penser et nos capacités cognitives. Une journée sans lire une ligne, c’est désormais pos- sible. Mieux, c’est maintenant la norme, le cours nor- mal des choses. Comme passer un mois ou une année sans avoir besoin de faire un détour par l’écrit pour les actes de la vie quotidienne. Ce scénario, qui annonce l’effacement de notre culture écrite au profit d’une nouvelle civilisation orale, c’est celui que je vous prédis pour un futur sans doute moins éloigné que ce que nous pourrions croire. Si je suis aussi affirmatif, c’est que les ferments d’un tel bouleverse- ment sont déjà à l’œuvre aujourd’hui. C’est même une avalanche de signaux qui, tous ensemble, sont susceptibles de provoquer un tel basculement. L’irrésistible invasion de la vidéo Le plus important, sans doute, tient à la place enva- hissante que prend dans nos vies, chaque jour un peu plus, la vidéo. C’est le contenu roi, celui qui s’impose comme le standard de fait en matière de communica- tion. Cette tendance n’est pas nouvelle. Il s’agit même d’une lame de fond qui trouve son origine à la fin du XIXe siècle avec l’invention du cinéma, puis de la télévision dès les années trente. Le XXe siècle aura été rythmé par le développement continu de ces médias de masse qui furent d’abord accusés de tous les maux, avant de se hisser au rang de 7e art pour l’un et de première source d’information et de divertisse- ment pour l’autre.

  • Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People
    Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People Malaya Kumar Biswal M1, Vishnu S2, Devika S Kumar3, Sairam M4 Pondicherry University, Kalapet, Puducherry, India - 605 014 Abstract Exploration is one of the attentive endeavor to mankind and a strategy for evolution. We have been incessantly reconnoitering our planet and universe from Mesopotamian era to modern era. The progression of rocketry and planetary science in past century engendered a futuristic window to explore Mars which have been a source of inspiration to hundreds of astronomers and scientists. Globally, it invigorated space exploration agencies to make expedition for planetary exploration to Mars and Human Mars Missions. Scientists and engineers have portrayed numerous Human Mars Mission proposals and plans but currently the design reference mission 5.0 of NASA is the only mission under study. Here we propose a mission architecture for permanent Human Mars Settlement with 1000 peoples with multiple launch of sufficient cargoes and scientific instruments. Introduction: This paper focuses on design of Human Mars Mission with reference to the instructions by Mars Society. We proposed mission architecture for carrying 1000 peoples onboard spaceship (Marship). Overall mission architecture outline map and Human Mars Settlement Map is provided next to this page. We divided the whole mission architecture into three phases starting from orbital launch of launch vehicles and Mars colony establishment. We proposed novel habitat for protection during robust dust storms, various method to make the colony economically successful, minerals and their applications, administrative methods, water extraction, plantation, landing patterns, estimation of masses of food to be carried out and customizable system for re-use and recycling.

  • Radar Scattering from the Summer Polar Mesosphere: Theory and Observations
    RADAR SCATTERING FROM THE SUMMER POLAR MESOSPHERE: THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho May 1993 c John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho 1993 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED RADAR SCATTERING FROM THE SUMMER POLAR MESOSPHERE: THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho, Ph.D. Cornell University, 1993 The anomalously large radar reflectivities observed in the summer polar meso- sphere have eluded satisfactory explanation until now. We propose that the fol- lowing chain of causality is responsible for the so-called polar mesosphere sum- mer echoes (PMSE): The uniquely low temperatures in the summer mesopause produce ice aerosols. Because the aerosols exist in a plasma, they become elec- trically charged. The ambient electrons become coupled to the aerosols through electric fields and their effective diffusivity is retarded due to the large size of the aerosols. The reduction in diffusivity allows electron density inhomogeneities to be maintained at the radar Bragg scales. The radar waves are then scattered by the inhomogeneities. We support the above concept by developing a quantitative theory of ambipolar diffusion in the mesosphere. We then apply the results to isotropic turbulence and Fresnel radar scatter to show that the observed radar reflectivities can be explained by the theory. We show that the presence of realistic charged aerosols are sufficient to explain PMSE. We also show that dressed aerosol radar scatter, proposed by others as a generation mechanism for PMSE, can only apply to echoes detected by UHF radars.

  • 'The Imagined Sounds of Outer Space' (Wierzbicki)
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Sydney eScholarship You are currently viewing this page at 60% zoom. The page is optimised for 100%: not all elements on the page may look as intended. The Imagined Sounds of Outer Space James Wierzbicki Readers who know that I often write about film music – and that my publications include an article on the use of the electronic instrument called the theremin in depicting alien “Others” in Hollywood films from the 1950s (Wierzbicki 2002), a monograph on the score for the 1956 film Forbidden Planet (Wierzbicki 2005), and a book chapter on music in The Twilight Zone (Wierzbicki 2012) – might well suspect that this essay will focus on the imagined sounds of outer space as realized in the soundtracks of science-fiction films and television. Those imagined sounds are indeed my primary concerns here, but I will frame my thoughts with considerations of the imagined sounds of space as realized in music alone. The core of the essay deals in turn with depictions both literary and cinematic of signals from space, with cinematic sounds that in one way or another are linked to the technology of space exploration, with imagined sounds associated with “heavenly bodies” that might be visited by Earth-based astronauts, and with sounds that represent travel in and through outer space. This last category of sounds is, I think, especially interesting, because at least some of its cinematic exemplars seem to share basic elements with the “space music” of various composers for whom writing for the cinema was perhaps one of the furthest things from their minds.

  • A Netnographic Research to Unveil the Leisure Experience
    RIDE OF A LIFETIME: A NETNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH TO UNVEIL THE LEISURE EXPERIENCE ATTACHED TO ORBITAL SPACE TOURISM by Jingning Ao A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human Performance Middle Tennessee State University August 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Joey Gray, Chair Dr. I-Chun (Nicky) Wu Dr. William Compton ABSTRACT People tend to have different motivations when selecting a travel destination. While traveling to space becomes increasingly feasible as the technology advances, there is relatively few research communicates what people can experience about leisure travel in space. Understanding the leisure properties of space travel could potentially help the business development of space tourism. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to explore the following: When people travel to outer space, what properties of leisure experiences attached to orbital space tourism could potentially attract tourists? In this study, leisure perception serves as the theoretical foundation; the theory of a multi-phase experience provides an analytical tool to construct the experience of space tourism. A netnographic research method is applied to obtain authentic descriptions about space travel experience from the most popular Tweets posted by 36 NASA astronauts in Twitter. The selected 3,468 Tweets indicate that the public shows interests in both in-space and off-site experiences. Moreover, research findings highlight the trip to space as a dynamic and multi-phasic experience with its context. Specifically, the identified key patterns, including training, liftoff, in-space, reentry, and memory, are formed into five stages of orbital space travel. Each stage has its unforgettable experiences and unique leisure attributes.

  • Music – Space – from Odyssey to Oddity
    Year 5 – music – space – from odyssey to oddity In 1968 a film called “2001: a space odyssey” came out. It was famous for its soundtrack. Some of the music was chosen from existing songs. The name of the theme song is "Also sprach Zarathustra" composed in 1896 by Richard Strauss who was a German composer. Here is the link to hear it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BekjyAH7c2A (2001: A Space Odyssey: Thus spoke Zarathustra - Jun Märk and the Orchestra National de Lyon) Quiz 1. Can you describe the first sound you hear? 2. It is followed by a fanfare of which instruments? 3. What percussion instrument has an important role to play? And now from Space Odyssey to Space Oddity A rock musician called David Bowie who was inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey movie, wrote a song a year later with a similar title about the launch into space of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut, and the song was released during a period of great interest in space flight. The United States' Apollo 11 mission would launch five days later and would become the first manned Moon landing another five days after that. Here is the link to watch it https://youtu.be/iYYRH4apXDo Quiz 1. What metaphor is used in the song words to mean the space capsule? 2. How is the astronaut feeling up there? 3.

The modern period of SETI studies began in the USSR in the early 1960s. The first edition of the I.S. Shklovsky's book Universe, Life, Intel- ligence published in 1962 was a founding stone of SETI research in the USSR. A number of observational projects in radio and optical domains were conducted in the 1960s{1990s. Theoretical studies focused on defining optimal spectral domains for search of artificial electromagnetic signals, selection of celestial tar- gets in search for ETI, optimal methods for encoding and decoding of interstellar messages, estimating the magnitude of astro-engineering activity of ETI, and developing philosophical background of the SETI problem. Later, in the 1990s and in the first two decades of the 21st century, in spite of acute underfund- ing and other problems facing the scientific community in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, SETI-oriented research continued. In par- ticular, SETI collaborations conducted a number of surveys of Sun-like stars in the Milky Way, searched for Dyson spheres and artificial optical signals. Several arXiv:1905.03225v1 [astro-ph.IM] 7 May 2019 space broadcasting programs were conducted too, including a radio transmission toward selected stars.
