Outer Space Adventure - Part 6 - Solving sudden encounter of extreme different temperature cloud of molecules

Okay ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to relearn about molecules and temperature. By the way, it's a nice picture right? I use this picture not of the precision of the molecule representation, but the beauty of it :P. Kudos to whoever that made this. Anyway, the pattern suit the molecular bonding also.

So, what is molecule?
Nothing new from me, same, a set of atoms bonded together.

So, what is temperature?
All physicist, scientist and researchers should already know this, but not everyone can learn about this with the current syllabus.
In normal term, we define something Hot or Cold when we feel it with our skin's receptor. Touch a boiling kettle, we shout "Hot!!", throw yourself naked in a bath tube full with ice cube, we shout "Cold!"
So, what is happening?
By the way, we also need to know that our skin's receptors constantly send the heat signal to our brain telling us about the surrounding heat.
So, now we know our body have body temperature that makes our skin molecule vibrate at a constant frequency. And the different electrical signals send different signals to our brain on different heat.
When we touch a boiling kettle, the energy of our vibrating skin molecules is being amplified into super vibration, causing extreme electrical charge towards our brain, and thus, we feel hot.
When we touch an ice cube, the energy of our vibrating skin molecules is being drained away, transferred to the ice cube, and our skin's heat receptor send less electrical charge to our brain, and after we get used to some constant electrical charge, getting less dose of that electrical charge makes our brain feel uncomfortable, and we feel cold.

So what I'm trying to tell you is, temperature is difference of vibrating energy of some molecule.

And yeah, if our spaceship simply go into these cloud of molecules, the ship's shield and plating will break due to sudden changes of frequency because of the molecular bonding unable to withhold the changes.

So, how do we use this knowledge to avoid breaking our ship when encountering these clouds?
Idea #1
Use heat detector technology already developed, avoid going into these clouds. Go around them.
(Not cool)

Idea #2
Use heat detector technology already developed, use some mega laser technology, currently being developed, pew pew them away.
(Cool, but would be a waste of energy I guess?)

Idea #3
Develop some magnetic shield around the ship, based on "Outer Space Adventure - Part 4 - Solving Cosmic Radiations Problem", to spin and prevent all incoming molecule from touching the spaceship's plating when we go through that cloud of molecule
(Super cool, 1 stone hit 2 birds I suppose?)

Suggestion, go for Idea #3 :)

Outer Space Adventure - Part 5 - Solving Sudden Meteor showers and Space Debris Problem

So yeah, today, we are going to look into space rocks and debris problemo~
Lets just make a new term "Space Obstacles" for space rocks and debris since we are going to treat them the same out there. Evade or destroy.

Outside there, yeah there is countless twinkle twinkle bling bling stars out there but there is much more of these Space Obstacles floating out there and yep, if we are going to crash onto these things, no matter how many times we shout "Houston Houston~ bla bla bla" it's game over for us and we are going to be part of those Space Obstacles :D

Alright. Look at the picture above. This is the only picture I can get closest to describe this Space Obstacles. Look at the those rocks with the planet directly behind it, what we can see? Pitch Black.
So, what if the background is nothing? We see nothing, yeah, nothing, total darkness, like walking around blindfolded. That is outer space traveling. So how do we solve these problem?

Lets consider:
Idea #1: Attaching spotlights all around the spaceship, making the spaceship looks like a moving concert vessel and try to use camera to detect these Space Obstacles and Pew Pew them off with something.
Problem:
- Those spotlights bulb/LED/etc etc will expire, and need to be exchanged when it expires.
- Extensive Vision Inspection Algorithm will needed to be created to perform this live checking
- When we facing some extreme photon(light) source, lets say some other Sun out there at near range, the Space obstacle will be invisible due to photon(light) bending when passing through the space obstacle.
- The spaceship looks super lame

Idea #2: Using some EM(Photon) wave generator & receiver of some specific frequency (lower than visible light) and generate some pattern, when same pattern is being reflected, we can pinpoint the position of any nearby Space Obstacles and destroy them. Good idea
Problem:
- Will expire also at some point but can be replaced.
Risk:
- Possibility of extensive space EM(Photon) wave interference causing extensive noises.

Idea #3: Using Idea #2, we deploy more of these EM(Photon) wave generator & receiver of different frequencies to reduce the noise using results from all of them combined together to pinpoint location of these Space Obstacles.

I propose Idea #3 to solve this problem.

Outer Space Adventure - Part 4 - Solving Cosmic Radiations Problem

Firstly, for those who does not know about this already, I would like to introduce that Electromagnetic Waves IS photons vibrating on different frequencies. (They should just rename the entire thing to "Photon Spectrum", since previously these stuffs are named as "Electromagnetic Spectrum" because they use electric to generate all these lights and waves and these stuffs generate magnetic field of its own and the light particle is yet to be discovered)

Secondly, for those who does not know how these photons works.
Case 1: Photons travelling through Glass
    - What happens here?
       1) When the photon goes near to the glass, it gets nearer and nearer to the glass on 1 side until it's pulled by the glass's molecule and bend towards another direction.
       2) During it's time in between the glass, there will be a lot of bending around but the direction does not change much because there are glass molecules all around neutralizing the attraction force. Of course there will be possibility of collision during the photon's travelling within the glass.
       3) When the photon leaving the glass, the side that it's leaning upon have more attraction force towards it and thus it will continue bend that photon back to it's original direction.
    - Why we still can see through glass like nothing all the time when there is possibility of collision between the photon and the molecules? Simple, because there are tons of them flying non stop. Notice that there is brightness/contrast difference when we see something through and without a glass.
    - We can see through glass because of the big glass's molecule gap. When the photon go through the glass, the direction it travel will be affected by the glass's molecules since there will be attraction force between 2 masses (Photon and glass's molecule), and when the nearer both of the mass is, the greater attraction force will be between them. (Some relativity theory)

Okay, what is cosmic radiation?
Cosmic radiations means photons, vibrating at frequencies higher than Visible Light flying around everywhere at space. The source of these photons are (I guess everyone knows already) those burning spheres like our sun out there.
The electromagnetic spectrum on top is just what Human discovered at the moment, possibility of much higher frequencies of these waves exists out there.

So yeah, why is these radiations are to be take note off?
Because, these stuffs can pierce into human cells and alter our DNA to become something else resulting mutated DNA and will cause cancers, diseases, birth defects, etc etc. Depending on their frequency, the Higher frequency/Shorter wavelength it is, the higher piercing power it has.

How do we stop these thing from piercing human body?
(For Space Suit)
Currently the space suit is manufactured using some reflective material. (Not that effective to block these cosmic radiation and looks lame thou... :P). I propose that we add external lead shield to these space suit.
(For Giant Space Craft)
Lead Shield + Reflective Shield + Generate Magnetic Field surrounding the space craft.
