Introduction Back Mounds [1] are among a series of organic formations found on airless celestial bodies that have been discovered in the last decade, the others being so-called Brain Trees [2] and Barnacles [3]. There are a number of mysteries associated with Bark Mounds, and in this study we will focus on their acoustic characteristics….
Introduction Barnacles [1] are among a series of organic formations found on airless celestial bodies that have been discovered in the last decade, the others being so-called Brain Trees [2] and Bark Mounds [3]. There are a number of mysteries associated with Barnacles, and in this study we will focus on the acoustic characteristics of…
Introduction This is a follow-up study to a detailed survey of a body with Major volcanism [1,2]. The goal of that study was to investigate the number of sites in a body with Major volcanism and complement the work carried out by CMDR Varonica [3]. The body that was surveyed in the first study (HIP…
Introduction It is well known that each volcanic body can have one of three volcanism ratings: Minor, Regular, or Major [1]. It is believed that a body with Major volcanism will be host to more sites than one with a lower rating. There is some evidence that supports that hypothesis [2]. However, there is still…
Introduction In this study we look at the statistical properties of landable volcanic bodies [1]. This was achieved by mining information available in the Elite Dangerous Star Map (EDSM) database [2]. The purpose of this study is to get an idea of the global statistical properties of bodies with volcanism and help guide future detailed…
Introduction This is a follow up to an in-depth analysis of the data packets found in the Guardian obelisk audio [1]. The details of the data packets were reported, but the most profound result was the histogram of the number of bars seen in all of the extracted data packets. The structure of the histogram…
Introduction It has been known for a some time that the spectrogram of the audio from obelisks found in Guardian Ancient Ruins [1] exhibits a series patterns comprised of vertical bars. Ever since the phenomenon was discovered [2], many have referred to these patterns as “barcodes” because of their resemblance to an ancient Earth technique…
CMDR Maligno once again brings us a research paper on the acoustic features of the Brain Trees. One of the more notable characteristics of Brain Tree sites [1] is the pervasive acoustic signal, which can be heard immediately after dipping below an altitude of approximately 450m above ground level. The exact altitude varies from site…
Brain Trees were perhaps brought about by The Guardians as a resource gathering mechanism. The galactic community should take full advantage of Brain Trees because they provide a viable, if not superior, alternative to conventional prospecting activities. Further studies will be carried out to get a more accurate understanding of material node abundances and yields.
A paper by Prof. Sindri Arcturus, Director of the Freeman Dyson Institute. The aim of this document is to provide a basic, generalized overview of topics which are relevant to the science of Elite: Dangerous. The goal here is not to delve too deeply into the topics, or to expound on the subtleties or sub-topics…
