Why Humans Will Never Colonize Mars with Gizmodo’s...

John Michael Godier"s Event Horizon ·

2026/01/10

George Dvorsky says in his article 'Humans Will Never Colonize Mars' on Gizmodo that,“The suggestion that humans will soon set up bustling, long-lasting colonies on Mars is something many of us take for granted. What this lofty vision fails to appreciate, however, are the monumental—if not intractable—challenges awaiting colonists who want to permanently live on Mars. Unless we radically adapt our brains and bodies to the harsh Martian environment, the Red Planet will forever remain off

2026/01/07

How did it all begin? How did this universe in which we live come to be? The story begins in the early 20th century with Georges LeMaitre who originated the concept that an expanding universe could be extrapolated back to a point. Then came the observations of Edwin Hubble that indicated rather clearly that the universe was indeed expanding. Then there were other discoveries, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation which is literally the afterglow of the big bang. But there are mysteries

What are quasars?Are Black Holes Really Black?Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick, astrophysicist at the University of Kansas, recently announced her discovery of cold quasars a new object in the field of astronomy — galaxies featuring an abundance of cold gas that can produce new stars despite having a quasar at the center. The breakthrough finding overturns assumptions about the end state of galaxies and may represent a phase of the death of a galaxy that was previously unknown. John Michael Godlier spoke to

Red dwarfs, the most common type of star, can live for trillions of years. The two closest extra solar planets to the Sun, Proxima Centauri and Barnard's star, each can potentially be habitable planets (Proxima b and Barnard b).The Universe's Endgame with Christian Readyhttps://youtu.be/uoozJoRuJ9EChristian's

Does intelligent alien life exist?Answering the question of are we alone has turned out to be a bit more difficult than was originally envisioned when SETI first began decades ago. At first it was a matter of looking for giant omnidirectional beacons blasting out high energy messages, much like what we saw in the movie contact. But as we’ve gone through the process of searching, it’s becoming evident that such a scenario was in a way wishful thinking.We have seen no such unambiguous beacons, and
