Yes it is you stupid boy! You wait until the new space based telescopes are up and running, we will discover even more wonders and encounter even more puzzles that need solving.
It is how we learn.
It is called Science.

observation, theory, experiment, observation, hypothesis... peer review.

experiment, is data collected through observation. Science doesn't find out anything, people do buy observing the results of their effort without bias in an effort to prove their own theoretical predictions, babies and toddlers are masters of the scientific art. Most discoveries are made by accident, study is mostly a means to understand reason or purpose of observations discovered by accident.

scientia: knowledge. No observation, no science. Knowledge without understanding is like a ship without rudder. If your definition of science is knowing what questions to ask then it is partially true so long as the answers are not biased, and are based on methodical comprehension.

wrong! Particle physics dehydrate predictions where wrong and that was only thirty years ago. We will not know anything because we wont be alive. It might, and it might not! Is knowing the limitations of scientific investigation. Not neglecting the time it take for light to travel there is no indication anything we see exist as we see it in the first place! It is theoretical, not even evidence of a big bang!

"The mission has expanded its catalogue of stars by 15%, to 1.8 billion, and its measurements have become more precise. Compared with 2018, Gaia’s distance measurements are 50% better, and those of stellar velocities are 100% better, van Leeuwen says.

To achieve this improvement, the mission team had to overcome an unexpected issue with the probe. As the spacecraft spins, sunlight falls on it at varying angles, which slightly deforms its shape. This has affected its measurements of stellar positions more than expected."

That is what science is!

You finally read my link and now agree it is science, you are now officially a convert --well done!

there is no way of knowing that. No evidence to support theory.

What do you think of the Mars landing Arthur ?

Good question, although Art will answer about something totally unrelated.

Interesting Art, how anyone would get hold of the substance would require many centuries of scientific breakthroughs.

In the meantime, and a lot closer to home, this looks favourite for more destructive and faster space propulsion...



Creating it, or farming it is space, is impossible until containment is achieved.

But when it is, it will be a frightening, and yet awesome, prospect for the advancement of man in the cosmos.

A theoretical proposition that has significantly less traction today.

Unlike Neutron Star farming? Like that will ever happen.

Art, we have created anti-matter, insignificant amounts agreed, but nevertheless we do have the ability to do so.
When Fusion becomes more realistic, the technological advances in that will add to this ability too.
We can't really go farming the Van Allen Belt for anti-matter, that would be bloody dangerous.
Personally, one day I envisage man creating a fusion device that creates and stores anti matter and then releases it upon request into a chamber where it will mix into a chamber in a vacuum (space) to collide with an equivalent amount of matter to provide enormous thrust. Anti-matter engine bescially.
We already have fusion engines that have been tested since the 1950's that work on the same principle, so why not? Anything is possible.
