Humans can colonize Milky Way Galaxy with intelligent devices, and search for gravity signals. — Galactic civilizations using intelligent devices can live billions of years. So the most likely “species” for human devices to meet would be intelligent devices. Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might look for intelligent messages in the galactic plane. And space

Watching “Are We Alone?” at https://youtu.be/c53yK1MJOY, I thought (Most species in the Universe might be fabricated, not natural, and live for Millions of years) If fabricated lifeforms are the dominant species, even from organic precursor species – once formed they can spread for billions of years. Have unique memories and existence for millions/ billions of

Every frame of every video posted on the Internet, generated by diffusion and algorithm, could be dated, tagged and traced. If all copies are different, then it is hard to know which part is the tag. There are people who know how to do that fairly and usefully. Each person sees a unique video, the

Richard Collins: Can you tell me details of the Atacama Total Power Array? It seems to be four (12 meter) radio telescopes. Is any of the data available from the Total Power Array available? I am reading “Discovery of an Accretion Streamer and a Slow Wide-angle Outflow around FU Orionis” at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad31a1 and want to

I am reading the 14 repositories for CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) at https://github.com/orgs/casangi/repositories There are only 6942 files and 1814 folders in total and what appears to be many duplicates. And MANY duplicate file and folder names. A good part of the problem with CASA is the poor methods for file management. If

Yijun Jiang, Thank you, this comes at a good time. I was reviewing all the technologies that can replace LIGO with atom interferometer and other technologies. Some of them are not very mature yet or the groups have not put in a lot of effort to look at black holes. But there are lots of

Webcam Resolution at https://webcamtests.com/resolution I like the idea, but not sure if it is working. It did not ask me permission. On the Internet there are many more formats and a lot more flexibillity now. The high dynamic range (HDR) camera are basically more bits per pixel and I found ones routinely going 8/10/12/14/16 bits

https://public.nrao.edu/ask/ Dear Ask an Astronomer, Where is the pre-correlator data stored? I want to teach and research using your data as examples to see what is missed when the correlator algorithms are used. And are there basic statistics on the contents of all the image datasets (tiles, files, records I am not sure how you
