I wish Percy aged in real time, because in less than a month I will be the same age as canon Percy and I am not okay with that

Happy birthday, Hero.

Remember how long it took us to go from the Stone Age to the Internet? That’s how long it would take us to reach Proxima Centauri [the nearest star] using current technologies.

Please Stop Talking About What Atheist Believe

Everyone now and then I come across a post by someone who identifies as an atheist and they are making a statement about what atheists as a group believe. I want to explain why this is incorrect, misguided, and damaging.

What is atheism? Epistemology tells us that “theist” means god. The prefix “a” means without. Therefore in the most literal sense atheist means without god. Atheism is a word used to express ones lack of belief in theism, meaning that theists have not lived up to the burden of proof for their claim of god. Atheism makes no claims at all. 

That’s It. Period.

There is no more to atheism. There are no beliefs, it is not a system, there is no faith. So when you make a statement talking about atheist believe “blank,” you give the misinformation that there are prescribed tenets or agreed upon positions or morals. The fact that many atheists may happen to agree on things is coincidence and not by design.

For example: If someone says they are atheist, you may be correct in guessing they are liberal. That is very common. However, it is not because atheism proclaims, encourages, or agrees with liberalism or anything anything else.

It’s the same way when someone drives a Subaru you can guess they like hiking or are advocates for the environment. But the truth is there is no manifesto by Subaru that declares their drivers must be environmentalist. Therefore, any hobbies or interest they share should not be seen as because of the car they drive.

Making this mistake can be damaging because it misrepresents the atheist position and therefore makes it seem like opponents have a valid criticism when they do not. Please don’t do this.

Gravity, Hazard of Alteration

A human journey to Mars, at first glance, offers an inexhaustible amount of complexities. To bring a mission to the Red Planet from fiction to fact, NASA’s Human Research Program has organized some of the hazards astronauts will encounter on a continual basis into five classifications.

The variance of gravity fields that astronauts will encounter on a mission to Mars is the fourth hazard.

On Mars, astronauts would need to live and work in three-eighths of Earth’s gravitational pull for up to two years. Additionally, on the six-month trek between the planets, explorers will experience total weightlessness. 

Besides Mars and deep space there is a third gravity field that must be considered. When astronauts finally return home they will need to readapt many of the systems in their bodies to Earth’s gravity.

To further complicate the problem, when astronauts transition from one gravity field to another, it’s usually quite an intense experience. Blasting off from the surface of a planet or a hurdling descent through an atmosphere is many times the force of gravity.

Research is being conducted to ensure that astronauts stay healthy before, during and after their mission. Specifically researchers study astronauts’ vision, fine motor skills, fluid distribution, exercise protocols and response to pharmaceuticals.

Exploration to the Moon and Mars will expose astronauts to five known hazards of spaceflight, including gravity. To learn more, and find out what NASA’s Human Research Program is doing to protect humans in space, check out the “Hazards of Human Spaceflight" website. Or, check out this week’s episode of “Houston We Have a Podcast,” in which host Gary Jordan further dives into the threat of gravity with Peter Norsk, Senior Research Director/ Element Scientist at the Johnson Space Center.

BIG WORD

As soon as people hear the word “philosophy,” they check out. They think of pointless questions and technical arguments and want nothing to do with it. But that’s the fault of those who teach it. Because philosophy is just wondering—honest, heartfelt wondering—and everybody does it.
