Highway expansions and road widening
How America (Australia) Can Break Its Highway Addiction

"After a century of rampant roadbuilding, the U.S. highway network is ubiquitous, dominating the American landscape in bucolic rural settings as well as dense urban ones. Rather than being a tool for mobility, it has become a monument to an auto-centric lifestyle that fouls the air and depletes the public coffers. Neither the country nor the planet can afford to keep expanding it."

"At the federal level, even asking questions about the collective climate impact of highway building appears verboten."

The 14-kilometre Coffs Harbour bypass project for $2.2 billion. That's a lot of cycle and footpaths. What active mobility?

In the big picture, Greenland and Canada ownership is not for US keeping. They are prized natural resource land masses that, in the hands of Russia, give Putin control of the entire arctic polar region and beyond, expanding Russian territory in a bold new direction. We don't need them. Russia wants them. And this new US government is very interested in pleasing Russia.

"The Burrup Peninsula,
in WA’s northwest, known as Murujuga to traditional owners, contains the world’s largest and oldest collection of petroglyphs."

"Disrupt Burrup Hub claims Woodside’s operations in the area and its proposed expansion could produce billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2070 and damage the ancient artefacts."

Climate disasters are wreaking havoc across the planet...

"Australia, China and Saudi Arabia – major fossil fuel economies and among the world’s worst greenhouse gas emitters – also argued against legal accountability that developing nations are pushing for."

[Einstein's theory and #observation data] Researchers have compared #DarkEnergySurvey data with predictions from Einstein's theory of #GeneralRelativity ... and discovered some #incompatibility ...

“We have discovered that very far in the past, 6 and 7 billion years ago, the depth of the #GravitationalSinks is completely compatible with Einstein's predictions. On the other hand, in the period closer to today, 3.5 and 5 billion years ago, they are a little shallower than predicted by Einstein”, reveals Isaac Tutusaus, assistant astronomer at IRAP / Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III.

Is the slowdown in the growth of gravitational sinks linked to the acceleration of the #expansion of our #Universe? The answer will undoubtedly be found in a few years' time, thanks to more numerous and more precise data from the @ec_euclid mission.

Ten areas in the sky were selected as “deep fields” that the Dark Energy Camera imaged several times during the survey, providing a glimpse of distant galaxies and helping determine their 3D distribution in the cosmos. The image is teeming with galaxies — in fact, nearly every single object in this image is a galaxy. Some exceptions include a couple of dozen asteroids as well as a few handfuls of foreground stars in our own Milky Way.

[Théorie d'#Einstein et données d'#observation] Des chercheurs ont comparé les données du #DarkEnergySurvey aux prévisions de la théorie de la #relativité générale d'Einstein ... et découvert une certaine #incompatibilité ...

« Nous avons découvert que très loin dans le passé, il y a 6 et 7 milliards d’années, la profondeur des #PuitsGravitationnels est complètement compatible avec les prédictions d’Einstein. En revanche, dans la période plus proche d’aujourd’hui, il y a 3,5 et 5 milliards d’années, ils sont un peu moins profonds que prédit par Einstein », révèle Isaac Tutusaus, astronome adjoint à l'IRAP / Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III.

Le ralentissement de la croissance de puits gravitationnels est-elle liée à l'accélération de l' #expansion de notre #Univers ? La réponse sans doute dans quelques années, grâce aux données plus nombreuses et plus précises de la mission @ec_euclid

Dix zones du ciel ont été sélectionnées comme « champs profonds » que la Dark Energy Camera a imagés plusieurs fois au cours de l’étude, donnant un aperçu des galaxies lointaines et aidant à déterminer leur distribution en 3D dans le cosmos. L’image regorge de galaxies – en fait, presque tous les objets de cette image sont des galaxies. Parmi les exceptions, on trouve quelques douzaines d’astéroïdes ainsi que quelques poignées d’étoiles d’avant-plan dans notre propre Voie lactée.
