Artificial Gravity Experiments, JWST VS The Big Bang, Eyes Under Other Stars | Q&A 221
Did Webb prove the Big Bang Theory wrong? Why did nobody test artificial gravity in space yet? What's the purpose of other planets other than Earth? How would eyes evolve under a different star? All this and more in this week's Q&A!

NABOO To belabor the point, my vote for the Great Filter is AI. So far we have managed to survive knowledge of nuclear weapons, although I believe that verdict is still out. The risks of AI are less self evident. The technology is more accessible to those with ill intent and is harder to detect or control. Not strictly on that subject, I'd like to recommend the First Contact SiFi series written by Peter Cawdron. Multiple Interesting takes on the subject in his books.
Newton's second law. Has the failure of starship's "stage zero" shown there's an upper limit to the mass of a vertically launched rocket?
my take: nah, they just need a flame trench. that launch was too close to being successful for me to write the whole thing off as impossible at this point. They got off the pad, the rest is just details. Reentry/thermal protection, on the other hand, is still a big question mark.
Tatooine: Did the JWST disprove the Big Bang…. Not! Your discussion that scientist who study cosmology have a scientific process through journals and papers. These ideas are openly discussed among these smart educated peers and over time our view of the universe is honed. If JWST or a future telescope changes the way we view the Big Bang, it will be done in a logical non sensational manner. We will know because the evidence will be collectively looked at over time by scientist who come to conclusions based on evidence. Thank you for bringing up the question Fraser.
