Scott Ott looks away from the Doomscrolling and discovers a universe of astonishing inventions and fantastic breakthroughs and also there seems to be a nasty bug going around the Right Angle crew. Here’s more from Scott, joined by Bill Whittle and Steve Green.
What if, right now, there’s someone on another planet staring back at us? What if, light-years away, the faint glow of city lights on an alien world is proof that we are not alone?
These questions, once confined to science fiction, are now creeping into the realm of possibility thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, sent nearly a million miles out into space, launched in 2021. As we dive deeper into the story of Proxima Centauri B, we’ll explore not only the science behind this breakthrough but also the profound implications it holds for the future of humanity.
Have LED lights — a possible cityscape — been detected on the dark side of Proxima Centauri B? Here’s more from Voyager.
Recently captured deep space images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the possibility that light may not have been as well-behaved in the earliest days of the universe as it is today.
To put it simply, Bill Whittle says, light may have been lying to us about the age of the universe. He says if this is true, then instead of a 13-odd-billion-year-old cosmos, it may, in fact, be 26-odd billion years old instead. Whittle is joined by “Right Angle” colleagues Stephen Green and Scott Ott to discuss the revelation.
