Of course, I'm not suggesting that the brain having to work hard to cope with jerky video is the direct cause of the migraine as there are no pain...
The bandwidth requirements for both Zoom and Teams are similar - about 0.6 Mbps for low resolution 320p at 30 fps, 1.2 Mbps for 720p at 30 fps,...
H G Wells' Martians in The War of the Worlds had no compunction about exterminating man and attempting to terraform (marsform or aresform,...
Yeah, Saberhagen invented the concept in the early 60s, pre Star Trek, I believe. I'd like to think space is too vast and the initial cost too...
The Russians in our timeline have sensibly never used them for manned missions. I'm wondering when Andropov kicks the bucket in the FAM timeline...

The Kardashev scale relates to total energy usage and states nothing in its assumptions about FTL capability. Our current planetary civilisation...
There's also the Kardashev scale, of course.
Some very cool mechanical engineering there. I expect we'll see a lot more applications for such mechanisms in everyday life as well.
Sounds a bit like the EM and similar drives. How are they doing? I doubt the efficacy of devices that appear to break any of the fundamental...
I'm not surprised there is an appropriate Futurama meme. However, I don't think we'll have starships than can run on Nibblonian poop as fuel...
What you're proposing is the analogue of a windmill or waterwheel. Using a propeller-like configuration would make the whole assembly spin at the...
Well, there's a thing that I never knew existed. I can't imagine the Tolkien estate was paid any money for the adaptation rights. The BBC made a...
Mangling the ancient history of our time was probably a deliberate joke on Frank Herbert's part. In his books, other memory revealed the truth to...
