Babylon 5 It occurs in a future full of foreigners and ancient civilizational civilizations, but thanks to the careful work of the creator J Even the space station in the center of everything uses a real solution physics to colonize space, all thanks to its shape. Using the O’Neill cylinder, the rotary Babylon 5 spacecraft remains one of the most accurate scientifically for zero gravity.
O’Neill Cylinder
O’Neill Cylinder Babylon 5 The uses were created by the physicist Gerard O’Neill in the 1970s as a way to live in deep space. By spinning at a speed of 24 times per hour, the cylinder will simulate gravity on the ground but it is still not clear to those who are distinguished inside the cylinder, which prevents movement of movement on a large scale. Each of the cylinders rotate independently, in opposite two directions, while maintaining the station aimed at the sun (or, in the case of width, Epsilon Erdiani).
Beyond physics behind the O’Neill CD, Babylon 5 Use more Gerard’s design, making his vision of an ideal society transmitted by space. Gerard imagines that his theoretical station will be completely self -sufficient, as well as gravity, renewable energy, and the ability to grow food. While the five seasons torn by the war demonstrated that the ideal of the Pubby did not reach 2257, the science did, even if the final design in the chain has some differences.
Habits for human beings and everything else
The original O’Neill cylinder is designed to be much larger than those in Babylon 516 miles, which is enough to house the population of the earth. Just five miles away and one mile, compared to the 20 -mile thought experience, the science fiction space station is more managed. Environments are allocated in different sections to support exotic species, which require carbon dioxide or methane to stay inside.
J. Michael Strakinski thought about what life in O’Neil’s CD would look like when he was designing interiors Babylon 5. For this reason, the station center is filled with gardens, and the external parts are more industrial, as some sections revolve on their own, simulating a different level of gravity from the main parts of the Earth. That is also the reason why sections are still under construction, as shown in “GRAY 13 missing”, which is a complete hidden level of space station, because Straczynski was causing it to be in a fixed state of repair, dismantling and assembly.
Real science in Babylon 5
Bringing the O’Neill cylinder to life is not the only real knowledge in it Babylon 5While Jumpgates works on the effect of the Doppler, which is why they turn orange while ships are far away from them and blue while moving towards them. Even Starfuries appears to use real physics when launched, taking advantage of the centrifugal power of the station to take it faster and more efficient than most of the science fiction fighters. Once launched in space, it appears to the stars lines, with no gravity in space, causing a movement to move constantly unless it exerts opposite strength, the defenses in this case.
The O’Neel cylinder may not be possible today, and it is only present in science fiction, though Babylon 5 It is still the best example of one so far, but like Dyson SPARE, it is an interesting intellectual experience for the future of humanity among stars. It is one of the many ways where J
