Space: The Final Frontier. Exploring space developments and theorizing about how humans fit into the universe.
THE LOUIS MOINET SPACE REVOLUTION (REVISITED)
When developing a new watch, a brand can spend weeks, months or even years bringing its ideas to fruition. A simple ‘animation’ of an existing product, for instance, swapping one dial colour for another, is relatively straightforward. However, a timepiece that is seemingly overflowing with innovation can take an inordinate amount of time to bring to market.

Unsolved Mysteries in Physics
Quantum Entanglement, described by Albert Einstein as “far-fetched” is a state in which two particles from different parts of the world are connected and reflect the behavior and status of their partners. String theory enables scientists to harmonize the laws of particles (called quantum mechanics) with the laws of space and time (called general relativity) and to combine the four basic forces of nature into a single entity. This sophisticated theory explains that particles in the universe (knowing very little about them) are grouped and scattered throughout the vast universe.

Space Exploration
The opportunity to explore space delighted people from many walks of life, but only world governments were able to afford the high cost of sending people and equipment into space by the late 20th and early 20th centuries. At the end of the space race, a new idea of investing in space exploration emerged, focusing on improved space use to improve life on Earth. To calculate the benefits of space exploration, NASA calculated that 444,000 people were saved, 14,000 jobs were created, $ 5 billion in revenue, and $ 6.2 billion was raised through NASA research programs.

Captain Kirk, Boldly To Go Where Few Men Have Gone Before
Space Tourism’s Most Famous Guest While it won’t be aboard the famed U.S.S. Enterprise bearing the NCC-1701 tag, and he won’t be sitting in the captain’s chair with his good buddies Spock and McCoy at his side, William Shatner is going to space. Continuing with the decades-long tradition of the wealthy, famous, or well-connected making the journey where hundreds have gone before Star Trek’s Captain Kirk is scheduled to launch this Wednesday.

Space Tourism
Aviation tourism has taken on a new dimension since the flight of the first astronaut, American businessman Dennis Tito, on April 28, 2001, when opportunities for marital or tourism became available. Many space tourism companies are planning to build underground cars and space cities in the next two decades, invest millions, and believe that the limited tourism industry is on the verge of promotion. Criticism has intensified when Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told reporters Tuesday on his first trip to space that Amazon customers and employees would pay for his flight.

What's in a Name?
Everyone knows that Martians come from Mars. That's straightforward enough. Beyond that, things get fiddly. Just what do you call someone from Jupiter, Venus or Pluto? What of the asteroid belt? Even in professional astronomy circles, people argue over the correct use of demonyms and adjectives for astronomical bodies. Much of the terminology used today originates from alchemical, astrological and classical works, and the growth of science fiction has only made it more confused. Of course, nowadays we know the likelihood of finding little green men on Mars or Mercury is slim to none, but the use of adjectival forms is necessary to describe features on the planets or their satellites. Plus, there's still fiction - everyone loves a good, old-fashioned Martian invasion.

There exist Whiteholes
The white hole is the exact opposite of the black hole because there is no horizon of the event, the white hole has no resistance to the atmosphere, no light emitted from the universe and the horizon itself acts as the first place the horizon of black holes can escape. The Schwarzschild metaphor (a map used to link Penrose's drawing, which does not include the previous white holes) works with permanent black holes, so no one can change the former, it can't carry dying stars, and it has nothing to do with the past. Keep in mind that the time axis and the y-axis of the space in the diagram show the size of the white hole and the previous event area around it, while the time-space around it leaves.
