Superstring theory, which views the constituents of the Universe as vibrating strings rather than points in space, is an attempt to unify quantum mechanics and General Relativity, but requires a wholly different understanding of time - Image credit: Science Photo Library

UK: Time Might Not Exist – and We’re Starting to Understand Why! (9.12.2025)

The problem with ideation and science is that the concrete nature of the external world is often ignored in the pursuit of pushing the permitted bourgeois envelope ever further toward ethereal theories that are non-threatening to the capitalist status quo – as bourgeois science can never be used to discredit capitalism in anyway. having said that, I think the distances are so vast between solar systems and different parts of the universe-multiverse – that humanity will not be able to traverse these distances in the traditional sense. A single light year still represents the distance light travels in one-year (5.88 trillion miles).

China: Socialist Space Science Development Programme for 2024-2050! (15.10.2024)

The programme also outlines a roadmap for the development of space science in China through 2050.

In the first phase, leading up to 2027, China will focus on the space station operation, implementing the manned lunar exploration project, and the fourth phase of its lunar exploration programme as well as the planetary exploration project. Five to eight space science satellite missions will be approved during the period, according to the programme.

The international lunar research station initiated by China will be constructed during the second phase from 2028 to 2035, and approximately 15 scientific satellite missions will be carried out during this period.

In the third phase from 2036 to 2050, China will launch over 30 space science missions.
