AdvertisementThe three-body problem is unsolvable and chaoticSome of the show's action takes place in a virtual world that's orbited by three suns. "This is a centuries-old problem," Shane Ross, an aerospace and ocean engineering professor at Virginia Tech, told Business Insider. Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to EarthThe three-body system in the story is based on a real neighboring star system called Alpha Centauri. At about 4 light-years from Earth, it's the closest star system to our own and contains three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri, which has two planets orbiting around it. A view of the bright triple-star system Alpha Centauri.

Conestoga wagons were developed by local carpenters and blacksmiths to carry goods, including farm produce and items bartered from Native Americans, to markets in Philadelphia. An original 19th century Conestoga wagon at the Conestoga Area Historical Society in Conestoga, Pennsylvania in 2024. For just that reason, Conestoga wagons had the controls on the left side, close to the wagon driver’s right hand. Lay, was that all traffic had to stay to the right — just like the Conestoga wagons did. on September 3, 1967 when cars switched from left to right side driving.

☆ Scientists are building tunnels under South Dakota for a $3 billion experiment that could solve some of the universe's grandest mysteries

Estimated to cost at least $3 billion, the project DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment), is led by scientists at the US Department of Energy's Fermilab. AdvertisementCavern excavation at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota began in 2017. The beam will then travel underground for 800 miles to the detectors at the South Dakota Sanford Underground Research Facility. The Sanford Underground Research Facility is located at a former gold mine.

☆ How antimatter engines could fly humans to other stars in just a few years

AdvertisementInterstellar travel is only something humanity has achieved in science fiction — like Star Trek's USS Enterprise, which used antimatter engines to travel across star systems. "Annihilation of antimatter and matter converts mass directly into energy," Weed, cofounder and CEO of Positron Dynamics, a company working to develop an antimatter propulsion system, told Business Insider. Space travel at record speedProxima's star system, shown here, could be reached in just five years with antimatter-powered technology. For example, let's take a trip to our nearest star system, Proxima, about 4.2 light years away. And since the '80s, there's been talk of thermal antimatter engines, which would use antimatter to heat liquid, gas, or plasma to provide thrust.
