With a day lasting about 16 hours, … Read more

The S2 Star and Sagittarius A (orbital simulation)

S2 Orbital Analysis - Elliot Telford

I always like to learn about new concept and ideas, so this morning I woke up and just started to study frame dragging and relativistic effects on stars. I’ve been spending a lot of time with physics lately and have done a full Sagittarius A calculation, which turned out to be a fun way to … Read more

Presenting Elliot’s Hydrogen Fusion Simulator, V1.0.0 It is fairly well accepted that the future of energy will be nuclear. The concept of a Dyson Sphere was first developed by Olaf Stapledon in his science fiction novel Star Maker (1937). The idea was further developed by the physicist Freeman Dyson in his 1960 paper “Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation“. … Read more
