Kurzgesagt. Kurzgesagt ( / ˌkʊərtsɡəˈzɑːkt /; German for "In a nutshell," "in short," or literally "said shortly"; German pronunciation: [ˈkʊʁt͡sɡəˌzaːkt]) is a German animation and design studio founded by Philipp Dettmer. The studio is best known for its YouTube channel, which focuses on minimalistic animated educational ...
Great Filter. The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. [1] [2] The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi ...
Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) The Fermi paradox is a conflict between the argument that scale and probability seem to favor intelligent life being common in the universe, and the total lack of evidence of intelligent life having ever arisen anywhere other than on Earth. The first aspect of the Fermi paradox is a function of the scale or the large ...
At the Cerro Paranal Observatory, a laser beam is used to create an artificial star to tune the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The search for exoplanets on which extraterrestrial civilizations could be found is one of the many missions of the VLT. The Kardashev scale ( Russian: Шкала́ Кардашёва, romanized : Shkalá Kardashova) is a ...
Quasi-star. Size comparison of a hypothetical quasi-star to some of the largest known stars. A quasi-star rendered with Celestia. A quasi-star (also called black hole star) is a hypothetical type of extremely massive and luminous star that may have existed early in the history of the Universe. They are thought to live around 7-10 million years.
Quantum foam or spacetime foam is a theoretical quantum fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The theory predicts that at these small scales, particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed. These subatomic objects are called virtual particles. [1] The idea was devised by John Wheeler in ...
