The Question Regarding the Nature of Time
Discussions of the nature of time, and of various issues related to time, have always featured prominently in philosophy, but they have been especially important since the beginning of the 20th Century. This article contains a brief overview of some of the main topics in the philosophy of time — Fatalism; Reductionism and Platonism with…

Gravimetry
Gravity map of the Southern Ocean around the Antarctic continentThis gravity field was computed from sea-surface height measurements collected by the US Navy GEOSAT altimeter between March, 1985, and January, 1990. The high density GEOSAT Geodetic Mission data that lie south of 30 deg. S were declassified by the Navy in May of 1992 and…

Grail At the Moon
Grail Recovery and Interior Labratory NASA’s Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL)-A spacecraft successfully completed its planned main engine burn at 2 p.m. PST (5 p.m. EST) today. As of 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST), GRAIL-A is in a 56-mile (90-kilometer) by 5,197-mile (8,363-kilometer) orbit around the moon that takes approximately 11.5 hours to…

Setting Time Aright
Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it. — Albert Einstein While Event has since past, I hope the lecture itself will remain in public domain. It helps so as to see the context of the discussion provided by this conference with regard to that subject of…

Time Dilation
……. is a phenomenon (or two phenomena, as mentioned below) described by the theory of relativity. It can be illustrated by supposing that two observers are in motion relative to each other, or differently situated with regard to nearby gravitational masses. They each carry a clock of identical construction and function. Then, the point of…

Calorimetric Equivalence Principle Test
With Stefan shutting down the blog temporary I thought to gather my thoughts here. Gravitomagnetism This approximate reformulation of gravitation as described by general relativity makes a “fictitious force” appear in a frame of reference different from a moving, gravitating body. By analogy with electromagnetism, this fictitious force is called the gravitomagnetic force, since it…

Plato’s Nightlight Mining Company is claiming Aristarchus Crater and Surrounding Region
So what is the legality of claiming land on the moon? What regions would you like to claim if you had the opportunity to make such a claim? Imagine Covered Wagons racing now as spaceships. Racing, to plant their posts too include, so many acres of land. When the Bugle Sounded: Stampede for Oklahoma’s Unassigned…

Hubble Reveals Potential Titanium Oxide Deposits at Aristarchus and Schroter’s Valley Rille
Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Garvin (NASA/GSFC)Aristarchus Crater in False Color This color composite focuses on the 26-mile-diameter (42-kilometer-diameter) Aristarchus impact crater, and employs ultraviolet- to visible-color-ratio information to accentuate differences that are potentially diagnostic of ilmenite- (i.e, titanium oxide) bearing materials as well as pyroclastic glasses. The symphony of color within the Aristarchus crater…
