Here on Earth, we hear about the environmental problems that littering can cause. What about littering in space? The problem may not seem very important because, frankly, we don’t spend much time in space (if any) compared to on Earth. Also, space is quite a vast space, for lack of a better word, and it [...]

During World War II, two scientists invented [...]

Sometimes engineers and scientists are faced with a problem that is not easily solvable with an algorithm that leads to a definite answer. Perhaps the problem is very complex and has many components to it, or the inputs to the problem are not constant and could vary. When faced with a situation like this, Monte [...]
A BBC article today, “Engineering Earth ‘is feasible’,” highlights the possibility of successfully mitigating further climate change by removing carbon dioxide (the primary greenhouse gas) or by preventing the Sun’s rays from even reaching Earth. A UK Royal Society study finds that these tactics are “technically possible,” even though they may be practically infeasible.
The study [...]
