Download or read book The Septidoxy written by Cometan and published by Astronist Institution. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Septidoxy is the seventh disquisition contributing to the total of twelve which form The Omnidoxy, the philosophical treatise which founded the philosophy of Astronism, as solely authored by Cometan. The Septidoxy is of particular importance to the development of Astronism as well as setting the theme of the Omnidoxy due to the fact that it is entirely predicated upon explaining, exploring, and contemplating space exploration as a whole and the many different processes, events, practicalities, and emerging methods and beliefs from the Humanic Exploration of The Cosmos. While the Monodoxy contemplates The Cosmos, the Septidoxy contemplates space exploration and especially practical elements which will be integral to our conduct of space exploration activities. The Septidoxy is provided with its own inclusive discipline known as expology which entirely encompasses the philosophical contemplation of space exploration as distinct from the contemplation of space and celestials themselves which is encompassed within the monodoxical inclusive discipline of compendology. Contemplating questions such as the effects of space travel on humans both biologically and psychologically, the Septidoxy is entirely concerned with the practical viability of space exploration and the rationale for space exploration.
Download or read book Deep Space Propulsion written by K. F. Long and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technology of the next few decades could possibly allow us to explore with robotic probes the closest stars outside our Solar System, and maybe even observe some of the recently discovered planets circling these stars. This book looks at the reasons for exploring our stellar neighbors and at the technologies we are developing to build space probes that can traverse the enormous distances between the stars. In order to reach the nearest stars, we must first develop a propulsion technology that would take our robotic probes there in a reasonable time. Such propulsion technology has radically different requirements from conventional chemical rockets, because of the enormous distances that must be crossed. Surprisingly, many propulsion schemes for interstellar travel have been suggested and await only practical engineering solutions and the political will to make them a reality. This is a result of the tremendous advances in astrophysics that have been made in recent decades and the perseverance and imagination of tenacious theoretical physicists. This book explores these different propulsion schemes – all based on current physics – and the challenges they present to physicists, engineers, and space exploration entrepreneurs. This book will be helpful to anyone who really wants to understand the principles behind and likely future course of interstellar travel and who wants to recognizes the distinctions between pure fantasy (such as Star Trek’s ‘warp drive’) and methods that are grounded in real physics and offer practical technological solutions for exploring the stars in the decades to come.
Download or read book Omnidoxy written by Cometan and published by Astronist Institution. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 3357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Omnidoxy is the founding treatise of the Astronist religion and was solely authored by the philosopher and religious founder, Cometan. Partitioned into twelve disquisitions, each of which are further divided into hundreds of discourses, which are themselves titled by those which are known as rubrals, The Omnidoxy has been codified according to a unique writing structure known as insentence. The Omnidoxy not only forms the foundations of Astronism, but it remains the primary modern contributor and the book that ignited the establishment of the Astronic tradition of religion which encompasses the philosophy of Astronism. Introducing brand new philosophical concepts such as cosmocentricity, reascensionism, transcensionism, and sentientism amongst many others, The Omnidoxy remains the principal signifier of a new era in philosophy. The Omnidoxy births hundreds of new belief orientations, schools of thought, neologisms, disciplines of study, theories, and concepts which, when combined and considered collectively, have formed the basis of Astronism. The authorship of The Omnidoxy rests with the single individual philosopher, Cometan who began writing The Omnidoxy at the age of seventeen driven by what he terms as personal inspiration. The historical origination of The Omnidoxy rests in its authorship by Brandon Taylorian during early 21st century England, specifically in the northern county of Lancashire. Like in all textual criticism, the timing and location of the codification of The Omnidoxy is integral to understanding why and how it was written, especially by considering the influential factors impacting Taylorian during his construction of the text, particularly the cultural, political, religious, and social contexts of Taylorian's personal life and of wider society at the time. This forms an important branch of study within omnidoxicology known as omnidoxical criticism, or omnidoxical exegesis in which scholars study and investigate The Omnidoxy in order to discern conclusive judgements inspired by how, where, why, by whom, for whom, and in what circumstances The Omnidoxy was written.
Download or read book Expological Investigation written by Cometan and published by Astral Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expological Investigation is the ninety-seventh instalment in the Little Blue Book Series and comprises the first and second discourses of the Septidoxy, which is itself the seventh disquisition of the Omnidoxy, Astronism’s founding book. The Expological Investigation discourse introduces the discipline of spaciology, which is an extensive subject encompassing all topics that relate to space in some way. This discourse considers spaciology from an Astronist perspective and includes all Astronist contributions to spaciology. The Little Blue Book Series was created and first published by Cometan himself as a way to simplify and commercialise the immensity of the two million word length of the Omnidoxy into smaller, more bite-size publications. A successful series from its very first published entry, the Little Blue Book Series has gone on to become a symbol of Astronist commercial literature and a way for Cometan’s words to reach readers of all ages and abilities who remain daunted by the beauty and yet the sheer extensiveness of the Omnidoxy as the longest religious text in history.

Download or read book Pulse Detonation Engine written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Pulse Detonation Engine A pulse detonation engine (PDE) is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. The engine is pulsed because the mixture must be renewed in the combustion chamber between each detonation wave and the next. Theoretically, a PDE can operate from subsonic up to a hypersonic flight speed of roughly Mach 5. An ideal PDE design can have a thermodynamic efficiency higher than other designs like turbojets and turbofans because a detonation wave rapidly compresses the mixture and adds heat at constant volume. Consequently, moving parts like compressor spools are not necessarily required in the engine, which could significantly reduce overall weight and cost. PDEs have been considered for propulsion since 1940. Key issues for further development include fast and efficient mixing of the fuel and oxidizer, the prevention of autoignition, and integration with an inlet and nozzle. To date, no practical PDE has been put into production, but several testbed engines have been built and one was successfully integrated into a low-speed demonstration aircraft that flew in sustained PDE powered flight in 2008. In June 2008, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) unveiled Blackswift, which was intended to use this technology to reach speeds of up to Mach 6 How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Pulse Detonation Engine Chapter 2: Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Chapter 3: Rotating Detonation Engine Chapter 4: AIMStar Chapter 5: Antimatter-catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion Chapter 6: Antimatter rocket Chapter 7: Nuclear electric rocket Chapter 8: Nuclear power in space Chapter 9: Nuclear propulsion Chapter 10: Nuclear thermal rocket Chapter 11: Project Pluto Chapter 12: Fission-fragment rocket (II) Answering the public top questions about pulse detonation engine.

Download or read book Atomic Adventures written by James Mahaffey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are a scientist or a poet, pro-nuclear energy or staunch opponent, conspiracy theorist or pragmatist, James Mahaffey's books have served to open up the world of nuclear science like never before. With clear explanations of some of the most complex scientific endeavors in history, Mahaffey's new book looks back at the atom's wild, secretive past and then toward its potentially bright future. Mahaffey unearths lost reactors on far flung Pacific islands and trees that were exposed to active fission that changed gender or bloomed in the dead of winter. He explains why we have nuclear submarines but not nuclear aircraft and why cold fusion doesn't exist. And who knew that radiation counting was once a fashionable trend? Though parts of the nuclear history might seem like a fiction mash-up, where cowboys somehow got a hold of a reactor, Mahaffey's vivid prose holds the reader in thrall of the infections energy of scientific curiosity and ingenuity that may one day hold the key to solving our energy crisis or sending us to Mars.

Download or read book Placing Outer Space written by Lisa Messeri and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Placing Outer Space Lisa Messeri traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored. Making planets into places is central to the daily practices and professional identities of the astronomers, geologists, and computer scientists Messeri studies. She takes readers to the Mars Desert Research Station and a NASA research center to discuss ways scientists experience and map Mars. At a Chilean observatory and in MIT's labs she describes how they discover exoplanets and envision what it would be like to inhabit them. Today’s planetary science reveals the universe as densely inhabited by evocative worlds, which in turn tells us more about Earth, ourselves, and our place in the universe.
