Curved Space

Space is not flat.

Einstein proved this over a century ago, but humanity took far longer to understand what it meant. Mass bends geometry. Energy reshapes time. The universe does not obey intuition.

Mars orbited the Sun in quiet obedience, its thin atmosphere stripped long ago by solar wind. Terraforming it was not an act of hope—it was an act of mathematics.

Pressure equations. Radiative balance. Volatile loss rates.

Human survival depended not on belief, but on precision.

Far beyond Mars, neutron stars compressed more mass than the Sun into spheres barely twenty kilometers wide. Their gravity warped spacetime so severely that light curved, clocks slowed, and direction itself lost meaning.

Humanity did not go there to conquer.

They went to understand.

A new NASA study shows that over the last 20 years, the atmosphere above the Amazon rain forest has been drying out, increasing the demand for water and leaving ecosystems vulnerable to fires and drought. It also shows that this increase in dryness is primarily the result of human activities.
