Warp Speed Engine Is Now Possible, Mars in 10 WEEKS Astonishing NASA Claims

Is the mystery of the 'impossible' fuel free EmDrive thruster about to be solved? Claims secretive Nasa lab to publish paper on 'warp drive' that could take humans to Mars in 10 weeks

• EmDrive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves in chamber 
• Scientists aren't sure how this happens as it defies the laws of physics 
• Nasa has been investigating the drive along with other labs 
• Claims paper has now been accepted for publication by a major journal

It has been dubbed the 'impossible engine', that could take humans to Mars in just 10 weeks - but nobody knows how. The so-called EmDrive creates thrust by bouncing microwaves around in an enclosed chamber, and uses only solar power. Many argue the concept is simply hype, suggesting the design goes against the laws of physics , and now a Nasa lab that has been studying the concept is set to publish its findings for the first time it has been claimed.

A prototype of the 'impossible' fuel-free engine that some say power a spacecraft to Mars in just 10 weeks. The design is now set to undergo peer-review. Many maintain the system goes against the laws of physics

I'm sorry but this looks like an antique thingy ma-bob from an museum?
The idea for an EmDrive was proposed in 2000 by a researcher named Roger Shawyer. Since then four independent labs, including one at Nasa, have recreated the drive. But the mysterious engine had baffled scientists because it appeared to violate the law of conservation of momentum, which states for every action there has to be an equal and opposite reaction. This means the rocket can only accelerate forward if a force of equal magnitude is sent in the other direction - the rocket's exhaust. Nasa's Eagleworks team is now ready to reveal its findings, it has been claimed - sending the physic world into a tizzy. 'It is my understanding that Eaglework's new paper has been today accepted for publication in a peer-review journal, where it will be published,' claims one user on the Nasa Spaceflight forum. Earlier this year, an employee confirmed the team was working on the paper. 'The Eagleworks Lab is NOT dead and we continue down the path set by our NASA management. 'Past that I can't say more other than to listen to Dr Rodal on this topic, and please have patience about when our next EW paper is going to be published. Peer reviews are glacially slow,' Eagleworks engineer Paul March wrote on the same forum. Earlier this year, a paper published in AIP Advances suggests the EmDrive produces an exhaust like every other rocket.

Simulated transverse magnetic modes TM20, (red high, blue low) at the wide and narrow ends of the EmDrive tapered cavity differ from each other. This implies interference of microwaves, and hence also anisotropic efflux of paired photons. The loss of momentum results in an equal and opposite reaction, i.e., thrust.

WHAT IS AN EM DRIVE?
The concept of an EmDrive engine is relatively simple. It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves, which means that no propellant is needed. The implications for this could be huge. For instance, current satellites could be half the size they are today without the need to carry fuel. Humans could also travel further into space, generating their own propulsion on the way. But when the concept was first proposed it was considered implausible because it went against the laws of physics. Its allegedly fuel-free nature also means that the drive may directly contradict the law of conservation of momentum. It suggests it would produce a forward-facing force without an equal and opposite force acting in the other direction.

Star Trek prophecy

The technology has been dubbed the 'warp drive' for its similarity to the power plant from the fictional Star trek series.

The Amazing Journey of Ufology, When and Where It All Started...

The modern Ufology was officially born in 1947, the year in which occurred the famous sighting by the pilot Kenneth Arnold. It generally takes the sightings occurred since the forties, while the alleged UFO phenomena of the past are the subject of interest of clipeology and ancient astronaut.

UFO Sightings

According to its most rigorous supporters ufology should represent, in its core, a form of multidisciplinary research that combines two characters: one essentially historiographical-documentary, taking care to collect and catalogue the huge amount of observations and UFO phenomena; and a more scientific character attempting, by means of physical measurements, chemical, photo, astronomical, meteorological, medical, psychological, etc., to identify the causes of the phenomena provisionally considered of UFOs.

It should however be pointed out that the UFO environment is extremely varied and will also belong exponents that for ideological, religious, commercial or just to appear in the media, pretend to assign, define, or simply assume “scientifically” the extraterrestrial origin of the observed phenomena , based on considerations at all scientific, but subjective.

Attempting to apply only part of the scientific method by the majority of ufologists to UFO phenomena with the claim to reach conclusions, “scientific” means that the scientific community traditionally place it ufology as part of pseudo-science.

Among the few scientists who have dealt seriously ufology there meteorologist James McDonald, astronomers J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallée, astrophysicists Peter Sturrock and Bernard Haisch, biochemist Michael Swords.

The results obtained by ufology in more than 60 years of study are still far from conclusive, but they contain a large amount of data. Well this amount of data, I decided to study it with you, so follow me in my posts following in the footsteps going places and lets discover together the most interesting subject today.
That is, Ufology!

Did you know that,

In the Soviet Union, sightings of UFOs were often prompted by tests of secret military rockets.

13 Secrets and Surprising Facts About The X-Files That You Probably Don't Know

The X-Files’: Alien Abductions and 13 Other Surprising Facts You Never Knew.

I do believe

Over the years, its following grew until it eventually became a cult favorite. Its passionate fanbase allowed the show to explore different topics, conspiracy theories, and other issues that involved the United States government and extraterrestrials. Lasting for nine seasons, The X-Files aired its finale on May 19, 2002, only to go back on air 13 years later in January 2016 for a Season 10. Advertisement Scully and Mulder’s teamwork on the show is extraordinary. The fact that one was a believer (Mulder) and the other a skeptic (Scully) made their tandem more interesting. There were a lot of times in the show when Scully would question Mulder about his beliefs, but this made every episode, every case even more exciting. Such is the fans’ adoration for their favorite extraterrestrial investigators. But do you know that there are many other facts about Scully and Mulder and about The X-Files in general that a lot of viewers are not aware of? Here are some surprising facts about The X-Files that you may have heard of but do not really know about.

1. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY CALLED THE SHOW “A GONER” Yes, they did. In reply to the show’s slogan “The Truth Is Out There,” the magazine exclaimed, “We know – this show’s a goner.” Well, they were proven wrong. Terribly wrong.

Mulder and Scully

 2. IN REAL LIFE, DUCHOVNY IS THE SKEPTIC As previously mentioned, Anderson’s character Scully was a skeptic, while Duchovny’s Mulder is a believer. In real life, however, it is the actor who is the skeptic. When interviewed on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Duchovny said that his fan mail had letters from people who told stories about alien abduction and this made him sad. “I thought that these people had issues that they had to deal with.” In Mulder’s office, there is a poster that says “I Want to Believe.” The original version of the poster was supposedly bought in 1992. Over the years – or seasons – Mulder would replace the posters with different ones, but always with the same text. Chris Carter, the creator of The X-Files, said that he made the characters that way because he did not want to focus on gender stereotypes. His idea was to create a male lead who was a dreamer.

3. THE MAIN INSPIRATION FOR THE X-FILES WAS A REPORT THAT CLAIMED THERE ARE OVER THREE MILLION CASES OF ALIEN ABDUCTIONS Carter said that after reading a report revealing stories of people who were abducted by aliens, he thought of making the show. According to the report, the number of people who claimed to have been kidnapped by aliens totaled to more or less 3.7 million.

4. A TV SHOW THAT AIRED IN THE ’70S WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR INSPIRATIONS OF THE SHOW. It was Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a show about a reporter in Chicago who was tasked to investigate different stories. In the course of his investigations, Kolchak would uncover facts that involved the supernatural. Starring Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak, the series ran for more or less six months. Based on an unpublished book entitled The Kolchak Papers, the show is said to be one of the earliest basis and inspiration for horror TV. It is also said that Duchovny’s character in The X-Files may have been based on Kolchak, especially since there are slight similarities between the two.

5. DURING FILMING, ANDERSON HAD TO STAND ON A WOODEN BOX MOST OF THE TIME Since Duchovny was way taller than her, the production staff had to do something to remedy the situation. Their solution? They made Anderson stand on a wooden box for apples whenever they filmed Scully and Duchovny scenes. Anderson talked about this when she was once interviewed by Us Weekly. The actress said, “I have to step up onto something so that we’re on the same level.” She added that it was a standard practice especially when she and Duchovny were “walking side by side”.

6. PRACTICALLY EVERY ACTOR AUDITIONED FOR MULDER, WHILE FOX WANTED SOMEONE SEXIER THAN ANDERSON Gillian Anderson (Photo source: Facebook) Adam Baldwin, Lou Diamond Phillips and Dean Cain are just some of the actors who auditioned for the role of Agent Fox Mulder. Almost every active actor went through The X-Files audition process. In the end, Fox chose Duchovny. It was a different story for Anderson, however. Originally, Fox wanted someone sexier, someone more bombshell-looking than Anderson. They were hoping to find an actress who was “blonder, taller, breastier and leggier.”

7. CLARICE STARLING OF “THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS” WAS THE BASIS OF ANDERSON’S CHARACTER Dana Scully, Anderson’s character, was patterned after Clarice Starling, the FBI pre-grad who helps investigate and catch serial killer Buffalo Bill and asks for help from psychopath Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the above-mentioned film. Jodie Foster’s award-winning performance became an inspiration for Anderson. Incidentally, Foster did a guest appearance on The X-Files. Well, her voice, that is. In the “Never Again” episode in Season 4, the actress did the voice for the talking tattoo.

8. THE DANA SCULLY CHARACTER WAS NAMED AFTER A LEGENDARY BROADCASTER Scully was named after Vin Scully, L.A. Dodgers broadcaster and considered as one of the all-time best broadcasters of baseball. He is known as the “Voice of the Dodgers.” As for Scully, since she was not a believer like Mulder, she might as well have been labeled “the voice of the skeptics.”

9. THE SHOW’S OPENING THEME WAS CREATED ACCIDENTALLY Composer Mark Snow said that he created The X-Files opening theme by accident. He was on the keyboard when his elbow hit the echo button and it turned on. He liked what he heard and thought it would be perfect for the show. So, the echo sound eventually turned into the well-loved opening theme. Additionally, the whistling part of the opening theme was inspired by a song. In the album “Meat Is Murder,” The Smiths has a song called “How Soon Is Now.” That was the basis for the whistle tune of the show’s theme.

10. THE MOST USED CELLPHONE NUMBER. Agent Fox Mulder owned one of the most used cell phone numbers in the entertainment industry. The number 555-0199 was also used in the movie American Beauty (by the Burnhas) and in The Insider (by Al Pacino).

11. THE CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN STARTED AS AN EXTRA. Actor William B. Davis, who played the role of the Cigarette Smoking Man, was originally an extra on The X-Files. He was to have only one scene where he would be standing against a shelf while smoking. At that time, there were no plans of making him the show’s antagonist. Despite playing the role of a chain smoker, Davis had not had any cigarettes for 20 years before he went on the show. Later on, he started smoking herbal cigarettes.

12. IN CASE FANS FORGOT, THE PILOT EPISODE INTRODUCED SCULLY’S BOYFRIEND Because they wanted to put some romance in the life of Scully, Fox cast an actor to play the role of Ethan Minette. He came out in the pilot episode and was introduced as Scully’s boyfriend. The character was eventually scrapped because it was overshadowed by the more interesting and more exciting Scully-Mulder relationship (which remained platonic for quite a long time).

13. “HOME,” A GRAPHICALLY DISTURBING EPISODE, DREW INSPIRATION FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN Because it had graphic content not suited for younger audiences, one of The X-Files episodes entitled “Home” was issued a viewer discretion warning.

Interestingly, the episode is also said to have been inspired by an entry in Charlie Chaplin’s autobiography. His story of the quadruple amputee he met in a tenement home was a major factor in the story development for home. In the said autobiography, Chaplin said the amputee’s family pulled him “from under a bed.”

Let us hope these interesting and surprising tidbits about The X-Files helped build up excitement and curiosity. While there is no final update yet on the possibility of a Season 11, why not relive the earliest days of Scully and Mulder and do a marathon of the show?

Do not forget to include all the six episodes of Season 10 which came out last January. The X-Files Season 10 ended with a cliffhanger. Although things are pretty much hanging in the air, Carter has high hopes that the series will have at least another season.

At the moment, he is busy throwing ideas, hoping to come up with something new that they can develop for Season 11. Whether The X-Files Season 11 is happening or not, the show has already endeared itself to viewers and fans. Nothing can change that fact anymore. What remains to be seen is how people will react if they find out that there will be no more extraterrestrial intrigue with Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.

Apocalypse now? Massive mushroom cloud terrifies residents in Siberia

Apocalypse now? Massive mushroom cloud terrifies residents in Siberia who frantically ring the emergency services fearing a nuclear explosion!

• The isolated cloud sprung up around the industrial city of Kemerovo 
• What they were actually seeing was a huge anvil cumulo-nimbus cloud 
• Formed after a thunderstorm pushed clouds aside high in the atmosphere

A massive mushroom cloud has terrified locals in Siberia, leaving the emergency services inundated with calls as residents feared a nuclear attack. The isolated cloud, in the industrial city of Kemerovo, bore the distinctive hallmark of a nuclear explosion, leading locals to believe that doomsday had arrived. Others reasoned a blast may have occurred at one of the area's many mines, for which the coal-rich Kuzbass region is renowned.

Looks like explosion

Mushroom cloud

Ominous sight: A huge mushroom cloud rises into the atmosphere in Kuzbass region of Siberia In fact what they were seeing was a huge anvil cumulo-nimbus, formed after a thunderstorm caused clouds to be blown to the side, reportsSputnik News. The emergency services quickly calmed down the shocked locals, saying the formation was merely an ordinary rain cloud. No freak accidents or fires were reported that day, and users on social media joked about what the unusual sight could have meant.

Mushroom season? Users joked on social media as to what the cloud formation could mean

Scared silly

Local resident Sergey Zmaznev posted footage of the massive mushroom on YouTube 'A mushroom cloud has grown today. This is, probably, a hint that a 'mushroom season' is in full swing. It's time to pick mushrooms. Very beautiful!' wrote Instagram user @khsy_20_. Local Sergey Zmaznev posted footage of the cloud on YouTube, showing the mushroom rising high into the atmosphere. The video already has over 20,000 views since he posted it on Sunday. Sergey also posted images of the ominous cloud outside his home.

The 'star in a jar' that could provide limitless energy on Earth

US Government reveals experiments to create compact fusion plants.

It would provide humankind with near limitless energy, ending dependence on fossil fuels for generating electricity.

US Government physicists have backed plans to create 'a star in a jar' - replicating on Earth the way the sun and stars create energy through fusion.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) revealed their plan for a next generation fusion device in a paper published in the journal Nuclear Fusion.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory revealed their plan for a next generation fusion device in a paper published in the journal Nuclear Fusion. Pictured, researchers inside the centre stack of the $94-million upgrade of the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade, which began operating last year.

'We are opening up new options for future plants,' said lead author Jonathan Menard, program director for the recently completed National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U) at PPPL.

The $94-million upgrade of the NSTX, financed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, began operating last year. Spherical tokamaks are compact devices that are shaped like cored apples, compared with the bulkier doughnut-like shape of conventional tokamaks.

The plants already exists in experimental form - the compact spherical tokamaks at PPPL and Culham, England. These tokamaks, or fusion reactors, could provide the design for possible next steps in fusion energy - a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) that would develop reactor components and also produce electricity as a pilot plant for a commercial fusion power station.

How to guide plasma

How it works: Fusion involves placing hydrogen atoms under high heat and pressure until they fuse into helium atoms.

Is This Proof Negan Kills Glenn in “The Walking Dead” Finale!

Spoiler Alert.

Glenn gets a bat to the back of his head big time. Maggie screams uncontrollably and Rick spews up.

A lot of “The Walking Dead” fans are angry about the sixth season’s finale (like, really, really angry) in which the audience is left wondering who took a beating at the hands of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

In the comics, it was Glenn Rhee who gets hit to death by Negan’s barbed-wired baseball bat. While it’s highly likely Steven Yeun’s interpretation of Glenn is the victim, the show, however, has carved its own path. 

Negan lined up Rick, Michonne, Glenn, Daryl, Rosita, Carl, Maggie, Aaron, Eugene, Abraham and Sasha, any of which could be dead. Fans will have to wait until this fall to find out for sure. But what if there’s an answer right now?

What if the audio provides a tease clue to the mystery? The above video, via Federico Trione, may have just broke this case wide open. What do you guys think? Who had the displeasure of meeting Lucille?

Are We Being Contacted by Radio-waves? Sun-Like-Star Totally Baffles Russian Scientists

• The signals seem to be coming from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 
• The star is 95 light years away and may have undiscovered planets in its orbit 
• Scientists say the signals may simply be the result of a natural phenomenon 
• One possibility is 'micro-lensing' in which the star's gravity, focuses signals coming from further away

WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

A star or planet can act as a cosmic lens to magnify and brighten a more distant star or signal lined up behind it. That's because the gravitational field of the foreground star bends and focuses light, like a glass lens bending and focusing starlight in a telescope.

Albert Einstein predicted this effect in his theory of general relativity and confirmed it with our sun. Scientists believe the latest signals could be the result of this micro-lensing effect in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from farther away.

A spike in radio signals coming from the direction of a sun-like star has excited astronomers.
The signals seem to be originating from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 in the constellation Hercules, around 95 light years away.

Scientists suggest they are likely to be the result of a natural phenomenon, such as 'micro-lensing', in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from elsewhere.
But astronomers have also asked Seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from ET.

Two SETI research groups will track HD 164595 tonight using the Allen Telescope Array (pictured) in northern California and the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama

SETI will track HD 164595 tonight using the Allen Telescope Array in northern California and the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama.
According to a report by Paul Gilster at Centauri Dreams, the signal was first detected on May 15 last year by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya.

HD 164595 is interesting to scientists because it's a sun-like star with at least one 'warm Neptune' planet in orbit. Its average temperature is 12 Kelvin hotter than the sun and is around 100 million years younger than our star. Scientists say there may still be other planets undetected around HD 164595.

'No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilisation, but it is certainly worth further study,' writes Gilster.
