Science & Futurism

* "Prototype rocket engine developed by Made in Chelsea star could HALVE the journey time to Mars and pave the way for nuclear-powered interstellar spacecraft travelling at 500,000mph" (2020-02-10, dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7987277/Successful-ion-powered-rocket-engine-test-slash-space-missions-Mars-HALF.html) [archive.is/25XvL], synopsis: Argon ion-powered thruster test by Pulsar Fusion reached around 56,000mph. If scaled up to industrial scale it could reach a maximum speed of 100,000mph. But at greater temperatures a similar engine could allow for nuclear fusion
This would be able to reach a top speed of around 500,000mph in space. Conventional propulsion would be required to reach orbit before the fusion reactor takes over in long-duration space travel.

* " ‘Made in Chelsea’ Star Develops Rocket Engine Able to Halve Earth-Mars Journey Time – Report" (2020-02-11, sputniknews.com/science/202002111078282734-made-in-chelsea-star-develops-rocket-engine-able-to-halve-earth-mars-journey-time--report/) [archive.is/m4LZF]: The developer says the new method could power rockets to be twice as fast as the maximum speed of a traditional rocket engine and could be developed further to be a dozen times faster by using soon-to-be-developed nuclear fusion technology.
Pulsar Fusion, a British company headed by former "Made in Chelsea" star Richard Dinan, has reportedly succeeded in developing a prototype of an argon/ion-powered rocket engine capable of slashing in half the time it takes for a spacecraft to reach Mars.
The company successfully tested a miniature prototype engine and recorded a maximum speed of 56,000 mph. The company claims that if the engine is scaled to full-size, it could reach 100,000 mph, over double the maximum exhaust speed of 40,000 mph reached by standard rockets working on traditional propulsion methods, according to the Daily Mail.
“This is a perfectly functional, full size ion engine and could be immediately commercialised for space applications", Pulsar Fusion CEO Richard Dinan said, according to the Daily Mail.
Dinan said that the new engine could be further developed to use nuclear fusion up to 500,000 mph, over a dozen times faster than the normally accepted speed of traditional rocketry.
The young entrepreneur explained that his new engine works by heating Argon gas to 1,600°C and magnetising it to cause the gas to fly out at enormous velocity. Dinan said that his company is aiming to build an engine that can operate at fusion temperatures, offering still greater velocities far in excess of the purported 500,000 mph.

* "Walking Into Danger? Italian Devil’s Footprints Mystery Revealed" (2020-01-29, ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/devils-footprints-0013215) [archive.is/hYau1] [begin excerpt]: An ancient set of footprints commonly known as the ‘ devil footprints ’ on the side of an extinct volcano have long frightened and intrigued people in southern Italy.  In reality, it was thought that these prints belonged to a species of hominids.  Researchers now believe that they are actually the footprints of Neanderthals.
The footprints are found on the slope of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano in Campania, Italy, which has been dormant for at least 50,000 years. There are three sets of footprints and an impression measures roughly 8 inches (22 cm) long and 4 inches (11cm) wide. These imprints are in remarkable condition and are up to 385,000 years old.
Devil’s Trails
According to Science Alert , local people call them the “Ciampate del Diavolo or Devil's Trail’’. After all, the prints were made when the slopes of Roccamonfina were molten, and it was assumed that only a devil could walk on red-hot lava and rock. Local legend has it that the devil made them as he made his way from Hell via the volcano to Earth.
However, a study by researchers, from the University of Padua, proved in 2003 that the prints, which are remarkably preserved, were not made by a devil but by an early human.  According to Disclosure PW , a team led by Adolfo Panarello “identified them as hominids, making them the oldest known hominid prints outside of Africa at the time.” It was though that the early humans walked on the cooled pyroclastic flow and these prints were then covered by volcanic dust until they were revealed in the 17 th century. Handprints were also found among the footprints and this suggested that they were made by hominids, who were trying to balance themselves as they made their way on the slope. [end excerpt]

* "Ancient Poop Busts Myth of Lost Cahokia Tribe" (2020-01-28, ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/cahokia-tribe-0013210) [archive.is/935hs] [begin excerpt]: The findings, just published in the journal  American Antiquity , make the case that a fresh wave of Native Americans repopulated the region in the 1500s and kept a steady presence there through the 1700s, when migrations, warfare, disease and environmental change led to a reduction in the local population. [...]
But while many studies have focused on the reasons for Cahokia's decline, few have looked at the region following the exodus of Mississippians, whose culture is estimated to have spread through the Midwestern, Southeastern and Eastern United States from 700 A.D. to the 1500s. [...]
Overall, the results suggest that the Mississippian decline did not mark the end of a Native American presence in the Cahokia region, but rather reveal a complex series of migrations, warfare and ecological changes in the 1500s and 1600s, before Europeans arrived on the scene, White said.
"The story of Cahokia was a lot more complex than, 'Goodbye, Native Americans. Hello, Europeans,' and our study uses innovative and unusual evidence to show that," White said. [end excerpt]
