- Why is traveling between the stars (by creatures like us) difficult?arrow_forwardWhat are some reasons that more advanced civilizations might want to send out messages to other star systems?arrow_forwardSuppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 lightyears away. Their message encourages us to send a radio answer, which we decide to do. Suppose our governing bodies take 2 years to decide whether and how to answer. When our answer arrives there, their governing bodies also take two of our years to frame an answer to us. How long after we get their first message can we hope to get their reply to ours? (A question for further thinking: Once communication gets going, should we continue to wait for a reply before we send the next message?)arrow_forward

Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5 billion years ago. How many billion years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth?

- A certain radioactive material has a half-life of 8 minutes. Suppose you have a large sample of this material , containing 10^25 atoms. 5x10^24 atoms decay in the first 8 minutes and 2.5x10^24 atoms decay in the second 8 minutes. What is the ratio of the number of atoms that decay in the first 8 minutes to the number of atoms that decay in the second 8 minutes A 5/1 B 2/1 C 1/5 D 1/2arrow_forward200 years has passed and now it is year 2220. The Earth is out of basic resourcesas they have been drastically drained in the past 200 years. The president of theUnited World Council (UWC) has approved you and your crew’s Mission toMars. You will pilot the most advanced spaceship the world has ever known, theExcelsior! It will carry equipment that will help to transform Mars so as toresemble the Earth, especially so that it can support human life.Before the mission can launch a few items need to be figured out. What is thecapacity of the fuel tank? How long should the fuel burn to achieve escapevelocity (otherwise the Excelsior will be stuck in the Earth’s gravitational pull)?How long will it take the Excelsior to arrive at Mars?1.
