Hello,

On this 4th of July, I look forward to a not too distant future when we humans will celebrate a different independence. Like the explorers who came before us, space is the next frontier and new technologies will be needed to traverse it. Columbus used the technology of the tall sailing ship to cross the Atlantic and discover a new continent.

If we are to ever spread out through the expansive cosmos, and hedge our chances of survival, we must develop new technologies like time travel. Time travel may be possible with wormholes but one obstacle that we must overcome is the predicted Hawking Radiation present at the event horizon. A common theme in this blog, my frequent readers know the importance of overcoming Hawking Radiation and how this will allow macroscopic objects to traverse the wormhole.

NASA recently launched the GLAST satellite, gamma large area space telescope, and they are currently calibrating it with the first received data. This may give us more insight into gamma ray bursts and evaporating black holes and prove that Hawking Radiation exists. We may begin to classify and catalog existing black holes that someday may prove to be one opening of a wormhole. A wormhole that may lead us to new worlds…

Stay tuned for more updates from NASA’s GLAST project. I hope you all had a safe and fun 4th of July.
