During the discussion of Terraforming Mars, the "climate change feedback loop" came into the picture. In simple words, the climate change feedback loops are cyclical contraption chain reactions, where one change triggers further changes, and the complete process keeps repeating itself. There are two types of feedback loops, positive and negative. The negative feedback loops tend to dampen or reduce the changes. The system tends to hold some equilibrium state, making it more stable. However, the positive feedback loops enhance or amplify changes. The system tends to move away from its equilibrium state, making it more unstable. The point of concern is that some scientists believe that the carbonation of soil and sea, along with the photosynthesis done by plants and trees, is part of a negative feedback loop. However, in the long run, the same becomes a part of a positive feedback loop. Global warming melting polar ice caps leads to disturbance of ocean currents by salinity dif...

Heliosphere and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation During the discussion on how to harness the  #energy  radiated by the  #sun , to become a type 2  #civilization  characterized by Kardashev, the question arises we are not even close to type 1 civilization, and we are thinking of type 2 and 3. On further discussion, we identified the heliosphere, the protective magnetic bubble generated due to charged particles (electrons and ions or plasma) streaming away from the Sun, which can be a possible explanation of  #cosmic   #microwave   #background  ( #cmb )  #radiation . Considering the heliosphere distance of 100 AU (Astronomical Unit) from the Sun, our  #earth  is approximately at the center of the heliosphere with a distance variation of about 0.01 times the 100 AU. Bingo! If this is true, can microwave photons having an energy of about one micro electron volts (eV) to 0.001 electron volts readily be scattered by the heliosph...
