The ring-shaped space stations





The ring-shaped space stations

The origin of discussions of the "Ringwords" has been started in the 1950s when NASA planned to create the wheel-looking space station, which would create artificial gravity by using the rotation movement, and the thing is that the size of that space station would be approximately 500-600 meters maximum. That space station would be created by using a modular structure, and it would send to space in small bites. Then those bites would dock together to one big entirety.

This was the first version of this kind of structure. Then Gerald O'Neill created an idea, that inside the ring-shaped space station would be the vegetables and other things, what would make it look like Earth inside the station. Sometimes this kind of space station would be planned to equip with a nuclear reactor, and it would be planned to use as the "cruiser", what will travel through the solar system. In that "cruiser" the crew can live in the conditions, which are similar to what is found from Earth.

Ringworlds

The ringworld is one of the most enormous things, that we can ever imagine. The idea is similar to the wheel-shaped space station, but the size of the Ringworld is larger. And the idea is that things would orbit the entire star. We could make that thing, in theory, but we don't have materials for that kind of megastructure. But if we would send a couple of trillion robots to the asteroid belt, and time to wait a couple of hundred years this thing would be true.

And that creature can use electromagnetic protection field to defend itself from asteroids. In some scenarios, the microwave field would turn every incoming asteroid to molecules. That is necessary, because of this kind of structure would pull other objects to it, and that would cause that the "Ringworld" might have so huge gravity, that we cannot even imagine.

This is one of the greatest problems with this scenario. The "Ringworld" would be an extremely heavy object, which will pull other objects to it. The sun can sooner or later pull that thing in pieces, because of the solar wind would stress the materials of the "Ringworld". So the electromagnetic system would also need to deny the particles of solar wind to touch the structures of the "Ringworld".

The problem is how those robots would get enough energy. The materials for this Ringworld would get from the asteroid belt and if we would explode Mars and a couple of other planets and moons, that thing would become true. And then we can transfer entire water from Earth and Europa-moon to that artificial structure. But the rotation speed of this structure must be very high, and the centrifugal force would destroy it quite easily.

One of the ideas to make ringworld is to use the multiple, plate looking space stations. Those separate structures would act like one big structure, and this would make this structure safer than the one big kinetic structure would be. Traffic between those stations would be done by using connection spacecraft. And the space stations would orbit the central star by using the same trajectory in the chain formation.

Those space stations and ring words need so enormous investments, that we must ask, what would be the case when we would make that thing? Maybe the end of our sun will be the point when we are making such big things. And the "Ringworlds" would give a solution, what we can benefit from when we must move entire civilization to another star.

"Omega spacecraft" the mega-sized version of Orion spacecraft, which panned to use nuclear bombs for interplanetary traveling.

The solution for the moving to another star would be given by one of the wildest visions of the future: hypothetical "Omega Spacecraft"  mega-size version of "Orion". The craft that would use nova or supernova eruption for giving punch for moving entire civilization to another star.

The "Ringworld would be the step, that is needed when the entire civilization must move to another place. The hypothetical "Omega Spacecraft" is an idea for creating the vehicle, what the entire civilization can be used for moving from the solar system to another one.

The idea is to create a giant omega-looking spacecraft, which is surrounding the central star. Unless the "Ringworld" the spacecraft would have a hole in one direction, and the size of the hole would be so big, that the star would go through it. And when the central star of the solar system explodes as the nova or supernova, the particles of the exploding star would push the craft in a certain direction.

The hypothetical mega-sized craft would be created above or below the star, and then it will be laid to the direct location just before the star is starting to explode. In this case, the artificial gravity of the craft would be created by using the rotating cylinders inside the core of the craft.

But as you see thins might be the project, what some civilization would make only when their central star will be exploding. There would need enormous resources for that project, and the entire material of the solar system must be used, and that thing would make this thig pure hypothetical way to move to another solar system.

The mystery of alien megastructure has almost solved

The mystery of alien megastructure has almost solved

The alien megastructure or one of the claimed alien megastructures has been solved, and the reason for the unusual change of brightness of the star has been uncovered the asteroids, what is orbiting the star in the unusual cluster. So there might not be civilization, what would be the scientific sensation of the millennium.  

One of the things about that kind of things or structures in the universe is that we must get better observations and use the best possible equipment before we say something about those things. That kind of ideas that there could be alien civilizations are only one track in the lines of research. But we must keep our mind open when we are talking about the alien civilizations. 

We cannot remove any kind of solutions before observations. And then we must realize, that we should dare to introduce different opinions about things, what has been introduced as the scientific facts. In philosophy and science, we must realize that people need very good poker face if they want to tell that they have different opinions with the so-called big thinker. But if we want to change things, we must dare to do that. We must say something, what is different than the common opinion. 

Great scientists have always faced some kind of a cheat, and one of the best examples are the "jokes" where Charles Darwin was introduced as a monkey. Would you think that this kind of things is feeling nice? And after a long time, I sometimes think, that what the drawer of that image wanted to show? Was that person believed in being fun? 

But maybe those things allowed that the evolution theory was denied. Maybe there was some kind of voting campaigns, that how many people believed that Darwin's theory of evolution was accepted or deny. And the side, who won that election would get a bottle of beer for that thing. This kind of things is increasing the assertiveness of science. The main purpose of scientists is always fall theories, what younger colleagues have been introduced, and repeating words, what famous people have said. The science is meaning that all evidence about things is collected before the judgment has been given.

In some writings is visible the attitude, that the use of own brains is always prohibited in places like University unless it supports people own opinions. And if somebody dares to introduce other opinions what have not included the texts, what are published before those people, that would cause laughs. 

We are forgetting that we should trust some writings, and if writer shares information about what is faked for purpose or some other reasons not true, the responsibility for that information is the person who has written the original article. Not persons who use the trusted platform as the source for their articles. 

If the original article is published in the respected magazine, the people have the right to believe that the article is properly checked. And if the images are made by using photoshop, that thing would seem a very good joke. But it might cause the extra work for astronomers, who are using those images in their texts as the source. 

So when we are looking at the news about the cosmic megastructures, we must remember that we have only the knowledge, what is delivered in the news, and if we want to produce the new data about the object, we must buy the very large telescopes. So before we cannot get precise information about the object, we should make very big investments, or wait that somebody else is publishing the more precise data about that kind of things.
