I tend to think it's a two way street, machinery has to get more power efficient at the same time, to take full advantage of renewables.

What Does an Alien Ocean Look Like?
Life on Earth started in the oceans, meaning that's a pretty good place to start looking for life elsewhere. In order to find these promising cesspools for chemical reactions, we'll need to know what they look like.

Do You Expand With The Universe?
As the universe expands, #expanding #space is said to "stretch" photons. But if it stretches photons, does it also stretch molecules, galaxies and you?

Yes, yes I am.
It's measurable by how tighter my jeans are getting,

Why The Speed Of Light Is Unmeasurable
Physics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTn6Ewhb27k
Which got me thinking.
What if, each time a starship enters jumpspace, it exits into a parallel universe from which it entered from?

Ooooohhh - fun thought!!!
I think there's a couple of sci-fi stories regarding things like transporters with similar plots.
If I were to use it in my campaign, I think I would make the phenomenon a rare or even one-off event - something that was recognized (more likely argued over) as theoretically possible but had never been proven to occur. Unless you have a certain type of drive failure or your calculations are off in just the right direction in a specific set of circumstances (i.e., within 100D of a large gas giant with an acceleration of 6G or higher).
Makes for a nifty explanation for a misjumsp. Throw in a relative time shift (you arrive in the parallel dimension X hours before you left the old) and you have the makings of a really wild scenario....

The World Is Built on Sand... and We're Running Out
Some might call sand coarse, rough and irritating, but there’s no denying that it’s used everywhere: from glass to asphalt, sand is a key ingredient for all sorts of materials in construction and technology. But this heavy reliance on sand means that we’re also reaching a limit on this seemingly infinite resource.

Scientists Discover New Historical Context of Mars | Achieving a Puzzling Absolute Timeline
Since 1960, humankind has launched dozens of missions to Mars in an effort to get to know our planetary neighbor better. Some of the missions were flybys, gathering information in brief bursts. Others were long-standing orbiters that lasted years as they traveled around the Red Planet.

How Kodak Exposed The Atomic Bomb
Kodak detected the first atomic bomb before anyone else figured it out. Then they made a deal not to tell anyone.

Why don't we feel the Earth spinning?
The Earth rotates on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour (at the equator) - so why don't we feel it?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mud0Jx4WazI
Then again, plate tectonics move at a glacial pace.

What Was Earth Like 3 Billion Years Ago?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chOXnnT7eEk
1. Seems the most significant era of the evolution of the planet, and life.
2. Apparently, the Sun has yet to reach optimal luminescence.
3. Heavy oxygen could be locked in the bedrock.
4. Urban sprawl, high rises, and garbage appears to be instinctive.
5. Upward mobility.

Where Did All Of Our Water Come From? | Answers With Joe
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. We are a water planet, it makes life possible. But where exactly it came from is still a bit of a mystery. Some new studies have shared some light on this question, and it may require us to think about water in a whole new way.

1. Water strip mining.
2. Next up, is oil a natural occurring mineral?

What Movies Get Wrong About Space Walks
In the course of human history 550 people have left the safe embrace of our planet, out of those 550 people only 228 of them have done spacewalks. This means leaving the spaceship is quite a rare occurrence, yet we see Hollywood portray them all the time in science fiction movies and they usually get a lot of things wrong. We break down some of the most famous space walks in recent movies.

The Infinite Pattern That Never Repeats
Simples rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong.

1. Golden ratio.
2. You have to wonder if you can extend this into three, four, or multiple dimensions.
