A new project offers to pay volunteers nearly 13 lakh rupees to lie in bed for 60 days to help scientists study how weightlessness affects the human body, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) said. Effective countermeasures against bone and muscle atrophy must be developed if astronauts are to live for long periods of time in space or on the Moon and Mars.
Artificial gravity is unachievable right now, but can it be possible in the future? Perhaps it can, as long as the technology holds up.
Feedback is our weekly column of bizarre stories, implausible advertising claims, confusing instructions and more Humans 26 May 2021 No selfie As a philistine, Feedback is unsure whether AI art is a good or a bad thing, or better or worse than the alternative.

Photo: Netflix Having already stranded Mads Mikkelsen in the Arctic Circle, director Joe Penna apparently decided that his next survival film would amp up the desolation, settling upon the only plausible option: outer space.

Let me start off by saying that one of the nice things about where we physically are right now is that we remove the effects of gravity, so we are able to do experiments that involve the effect of gravity basically on earth as we look at what happens with the absence of it. for instance, when you do combustion studies and flames drop in a teardrop fashion on earth, but we can't do that here, because the air doesn't know where up is, there is no convection, so the flames burn purely in a ball. in a similar sense when we do cellular research for cancer research for instance. on earth, the cells ...
