NASA’s Fermi Mission Uncovers Possible Sibling Supernova Remnants

A new study of two supernova remnants, the debris left behind after stars explode, suggests the explosions came from stellar siblings that once orbited each

Given a recent USA headline about how the new crop of incoming freshmen college students can't even read well enough to read a complete sentence, I had a sudden burst of inspiration. I believe I have solved a long-standing scientific problem.

It's the Fermi paradox: given how we think intelligent life evolved from sterile chemicals on a primordial Earth, and that there are billions of planets capable of the same sort of process, even if a tiny proportion of those potential sources did go on to bring forth intelligent life, there should be many - thousands, maybe millions - that *did* give rise to intelligent life.

The paradox is, given all these intelligent species out there, why have we heard from precisely zero of them?

There are lots of theories as to why this is. The most pessimistic ones tend to say that intelligent life inevitably does something to eliminate itself, (geologically) soon after becoming intelligent, so they aren't around long enough for them to send messages, or they do so for such a tiny window of time that it doesn't overlap with *our* tiny window. Causes: nuclear war, #environmental #catastrophe, etc.

I now believe that it's simpler: a society of intelligent life eventually invents #LLMs / "AI", and then deskills itself so rapidly in a race to the bottom of the effort-skill curve that they no longer exist, or at least not at a level to be capable of sending messages to us.

We're doing it now.

@jpm funny you mention . μWave, I had the chance to meet this fella, early 90s in Adelaide.

For reasons unbeknown it fell through, it would have been cool to talk about his time with Rutherford at the Cavendish Lab Cambridge; Asked some Q’s on the Cavity Magnetron pointed at Axis aircraft; MAUD, U235 and the nuclear program.

I’m sure there were no qualms firing a 10cm beam on enemy aircraft but Oli would have cautioned pointing RF at bike riders.

Fermi individua il motore nascosto dietro le supernove superluminose

#fermi #supernovae superluminose
@astronomia

Nuove osservazioni nei raggi gamma effettuate dal telescopio spaziale Fermi suggeriscono che le stelle di neutroni ultramagnetiche, note come magnetar, potrebbero alimentare le supernove superluminose, una rara categoria di esplosioni stellari con luminosità di picco da 10 a 100 volte superiori a quelle delle supernove standard da collasso del nucleo.
