The Mathematics Behind Why Rockets Can Escape The Gravitational Pull of the Earth
Posted On September 16, 2020


Robert Goddard’s liquid rocket never reached the 3 kilometer mark because of Tsiolkovsky’s Rocket Equation named after Soviet scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (pronounced “con-stan-tyin tsel-kov-skee”). This equation states that as fuel increases for faster and further voyages, so too does the […]

The Advent of Parallax Distance to Measure Immense Distances in Space
Posted On June 19, 2019


Stellar parallax is a measurement technique developed by Friedrich Bessel to measure far away objects in deep space. The process of stellar parallax involves measuring an object from two separate vantage points hinging upon the fact that the object being […]

The End of the Universe and the Big Crunch Theory
Posted On May 21, 2019


The likelihood of a Big Crunch in which the universe expands to the point that it then collapses inward upon itself is not very probable as mathematical calculations demonstrate that there simply isn’t enough mass in the entire universe to […]

Mathematical Evidence of the Observable Universe Actually Being Part of a Multiverse
Posted On March 8, 2019


There are 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1080 or 100 quinquavigintillion subatomic particles in the universe, often referred to as the “Eddington number” which means that mathematically speaking, eventually after shuffling these particles over and over, the same result is bound to occur.

Robert Goddard’s Liquid Fueled Rocket Concept
Posted On February 20, 2019


Robert Goddard devised the idea of liquid kerosene and liquid oxygen being mixed together to create a fierce, but most importantly, a controllable flame for propulsion. When kerosine reacts with oxygen, the result is an incredibly hot, rapidly expanding gas […]

Re-useable Rockets for Space Exploration
Posted On February 19, 2019


Rockets are traditionally not re-used unlike aviation aircraft because making a landing from space means that a craft must come back to Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 8 kilometers per second, a much more difficult task than that of […]

The Freemasonic Society
Posted On January 16, 2019


As of 2012, there are an estimated 6,000,000 (6 million) Freemasons worldwide. It is believed by some experts that the Freemason fraternity was established during the building of Solomon’s Temple, which occurred in 1000 B.C.. The original universal symbol of […]

Hugh Everett’s “Many World’s” Theory
Posted On January 10, 2019


Hugh Everett designed the Many World’s Theory which states that if in the first world a particle is found on the left side, in the second world that same particle is found on the right side, with both findings being […]

Edwin Hubble’s Discovery of the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe
Posted On December 27, 2018


Edwin Hubble was able to work out not only how far a star or galaxy was from Earth, but also the speed at which it was moving away from Earth, a finding which was profound because in a stable universe, […]
