Stuart Gary: This is space time series 26 episode 80 for

00:00:03
broadcast on the fifth of July 2023. Coming up on space time, a

00:00:09
new never before seen way to annihilate star Australia's new

00:00:14
Deep Space Laser Communications Network and the unusual origin

00:00:19
of the Jim its meteor shower. All that and more coming up on

00:00:24
space time.

00:00:26
Generic: Welcome to space time with Stuart Garry.

00:00:46
Stuart Gary: Astronomers have discovered a new way for stars

00:00:49
to die. Most stars in the universe die in predictable ways

00:00:53
depending on their mass, relatively low mass stars like

00:00:57
our sun, for example, will eventually lose their outer

00:01:00
layers in old age, exposing their white hot stellar core,

00:01:04
which we call a white dwarf and they'll slowly fade over time as

00:01:08
the white dwarf cools.

00:01:10
But stars more than say eight times the mass of our sun burn

00:01:14
brighter and end up dying sooner.

00:01:16
And usually in cataclysmic ways such as a core collapsed

00:01:20
supernova explosion, resulting in the creation of ultra dense

00:01:24
objects like neutron stars and stellar mass black holes stars

00:01:28
can also die if they consume too much mass from a companion star

00:01:32
in a binary system, eventually exploding in a thermonuclear

00:01:35
supernovae or they can be ripped apart by a black hole in a tidal

00:01:40
disruption event.

00:01:42
Now, a report in the journal nature shows new research

00:01:45
pointing to a long hypothesized but never before seen fifth

00:01:49
option. While searching for the origins of a long duration gamma

00:01:54
ray burst astronomers using the Gemini South telescope in Chile,

00:01:58
uncovered evidence of a demolition derby like collision

00:02:02
of stars or stellar remnants in the chaotic and densely packed

00:02:06
region near an ancient galaxy supermassive black hole.

00:02:10
The study's lead author Andrew Levin from Rabou University in

00:02:14
the Netherlands says these new results show that stars can meet

00:02:18
their dears in some of the densest regions in the universe

00:02:21
where they can quite literally be driven to collide.

00:02:24
Levin says this is exciting both for understanding how stars die

00:02:29
and for answering other questions such as what

00:02:31
unexpected sources could create gravitational waves that we

00:02:34
detect here on Earth.

00:02:36
Ancient Galaxies are long past their star forming prime and so

00:02:40
would have few if any remaining giant stars, the principal

00:02:44
source of long duration gamma ray bursts, their galactic cores

00:02:49
however, are teeming with stars in a collection of ultra dense

00:02:52
stellar remnants such as white dwarves, neutron stars and

00:02:55
stellar mass black holes.

00:02:58
Now, astronomers have long suspected that in this turbulent

00:03:01
beehive of activity surrounding a supermassive black hole, it

00:03:05
would only be a matter of time for two stellar objects to

00:03:08
collide with each other producing a long duration gamma

00:03:12
ray burst.

00:03:13
The trouble is evidence of this type of merger has been elusive,

00:03:18
but maybe all that's changed. Now, the first hint that such an

00:03:22
event had occurred was seen on the 19th of October 2019 when

00:03:26
NASA's Swift Space telescope detected a bright flash of gamma

00:03:30
rays that lasted for more than a minute.

00:03:33
Now, any gamma ray burst lasting for more than two seconds is

00:03:35
considered long. And these bursts typically come from the

00:03:39
supernova death of stars at least 10 times the mass of our

00:03:42
sun. But not always. The authors then use the Gemini South

00:03:46
telescope to undertake some long term observations of the gamma

00:03:50
ray bursts fading afterglow to learn more about its origins.

00:03:54
Now, these observations allow the team to pinpoint the exact

00:03:58
location of the gamma ray burst to a region less than 100 light

00:04:01
years from the nucleus of an ancient galaxy, placing it very

00:04:05
near that galaxy's supermassive black hole.

00:04:09
And when they studied the area in more detail, Leven and

00:04:12
colleagues found no evidence of a corresponding supernova which

00:04:15
would have left its imprint in the light studied by a Gemini

00:04:19
South Levin says follow up observations suggested that

00:04:23
rather than being a massive star collapsing, the burst was most

00:04:26
likely caused by the merger of two compact objects.

00:04:30
He says by pinpointing its location to the center of a

00:04:33
previously identified ancient galaxy, they've had their first

00:04:36
tantalizing evidence of a new pathway for stars to meet their

00:04:39
demise.

00:04:41
Now, in normal galactic environments, the production of

00:04:43
long duration gamma ray bursts from colliding stellar remnants

00:04:47
such as neutron stars or stellar mass black holes is thought to

00:04:50
be vanishingly rare. The course of ancient Galaxies however, are

00:04:55
anything but normal and there may be a million or more stars.

00:04:58
All crammed into a region.

00:05:00
Just a few layers across such extreme population densities may

00:05:05
be great enough for the occasional stellar collisions to

00:05:08
occur, especially under the titanic gravitational influence

00:05:12
of a supermassive black hole which would perturb the motions

00:05:15
of stars, setting them Carey in random directions.

00:05:19
Eventually, these wayward stars would intersect and merge,

00:05:23
triggering a titanic explosion which could be observed over

00:05:27
vast cosmic distances. Now, it's likely that similar events are

00:05:31
occurring all the time in crowded regions right across the

00:05:34
universe, but they've gone unnoticed until now.

00:05:37
Now, a possible reason for their obscurity could be that galactic

00:05:40
centers are brimming with dust and gas and they could hide the

00:05:43
initial flash of the gamma ray burst and the resulting

00:05:46
afterglow. So this particular long duration gamma ray burst,

00:05:51
which by the way has been cataloged as GRB 1910 19.

00:05:55
A may be a rare exception allowing astronomers to detect

00:05:59
the burst and study its after effects. This is space time

00:06:04
still to come Australia, developing a new Deep Space

00:06:07
Laser Communications Network and the unusual origins of the

00:06:12
geminid meteor shower, all that and more still to come on space

00:06:17
time.

00:06:32
Last week, on space time, we looked at the massive upgrade

00:06:35
now under way at NASA's Deep Space Communications Network and

00:06:39
its primary base stations at Goldstone, California Madrid

00:06:43
Spain and at Tid Bin Villa on the outskirts of Canberra.

00:06:47
Now, as we mentioned last week, part of that upgrade involves

00:06:50
experimenting with new high speed laser optical

00:06:53
communication systems, both between spacecraft and between

00:06:57
space and the ground. An Australian project is now

00:07:00
underway to develop an operational optical laser

00:07:03
communications network specifically designed to talk to

00:07:06
spacecraft both in orbit and also deep space.

00:07:10
It's called terra net and it's at least 1000 times faster than

00:07:14
the radio communications systems currently used to communicate in

00:07:17
space. Associate Professor Sascha Schediwy from the

00:07:21
University Of Western Australia.

00:07:22
No, at the International Center For Radio Astronomy Research

00:07:25
says the project will be one of the first commercial optical

00:07:28
communications networks in Australia to be capable of

00:07:31
providing day to day support for space missions. The network's

00:07:35
main commercial application will be transferring data to and from

00:07:39
satellites orbiting the planet.

00:07:41
One of the strongest drivers for increased data rates is the rise

00:07:45
of advanced Earth observation and imaging satellites carrying

00:07:48
hyper spectral cameras. These satellites take high resolution

00:07:52
images of the Earth's surface used for National Defense and

00:07:55
disaster management in the process, generating huge amounts

00:07:59
of data.

00:08:00
In fact, currently, the data on some of these satellites needs

00:08:03
to be compressed or thrown away because the capacity is simply

00:08:06
not there to down link at all. Shed. Schediwy says by expanding

00:08:11
to optical communications with a ground station network capable

00:08:14
of supporting them terran net will be able to use them to

00:08:17
their full capacity.

00:08:18
The project which has been partly funded by the Australian

00:08:21
Space Agency will also explore high speed communications in

00:08:24
deep space including the moon and will be capable of providing

00:08:28
the communications needed for NASA's atom lunar missions.

00:08:32
The initial network will be made up of two fixed ground stations,

00:08:36
one at the University Of Western Australia and the other at Mingo

00:08:40
with a third mobile station initially deployed at New Norcia

00:08:44
and it should be operational by 2026 shed. Schediwy says NASA

00:08:49
and other space agencies need communication stations worldwide

00:08:52
in order to maintain continuous contact with missions as the

00:08:56
Earth rotates.

00:08:57
Associate Professor Sascha Sch.: The terrine project is about

00:08:59
taking some of the cutting edge technologies that were developed

00:09:03
here at the International Center For Radio Astronomy Research

00:09:06
located at the University Of Western Australia and

00:09:09
translating those technologies into the world's first optical

00:09:14
communications ground station network.

00:09:16
This network will allow us to download critical data from

00:09:21
satellites in space to Earth faster than has ever been done

00:09:24
before. It allows us to also create commercialization

00:09:29
opportunities for our industry partners. Goon Heli Australia,

00:09:33
Tallis, Australia and our other partners around the world,

00:09:36
including the German Space Agency, the French Space Agency

00:09:40
and the European Space Agency.

00:09:42
So with this project, we're going to be able to validate the

00:09:45
commercial opportunities for this ground station and then

00:09:48
have it be a revenue stream for income into the state going

00:09:53
forward. One of the key challenges facing the world at

00:09:56
the moment is with the explosion of satellites, er the number of

00:10:00
satellites in orbit and the increasing capability, we don't

00:10:04
have enough bandwidth to get all that information down on the

00:10:07
ground.

00:10:08
One of the things that Terrene will allow us to do is move on

00:10:11
to a new technology, optical communications technologies and

00:10:16
this will allow us to download information from space thousands

00:10:20
of times faster than it is currently possible.

00:10:22
Stuart Gary: That's Associate Professor Sasa Shed we from the

00:10:25
University Of Western Australia node of the International Center

00:10:28
For Radio Astronomy Research.

00:10:30
And this space time still to come the unusual origin of the

00:10:36
geminid meteor shower and later in the science report, a new

00:10:40
study shows that just like the modern day white pointer Karang

00:10:44
Cacao, the ancient giant shark Megalodon was also warm blooded

00:10:49
all that and more still to come on space time.

00:11:08
Every December, the geminid meteor shower lights up the

00:11:12
night skies of planet Earth. But mysteries surrounding the origin

00:11:16
of this meteor stream have long fascinated scientists because

00:11:21
while most meteor showers are created when a comet emits a

00:11:24
tail of dust and ice, the geminid actually stem from an

00:11:28
asteroid, a chunk of rock that normally doesn't produce a tail.

00:11:32
Till recently, the geminid had only ever been studied from

00:11:36
Earth. But now scientists have used observations from NASA's

00:11:39
Parker Solar probe mission to study the sun to deduce that the

00:11:42
geminid may have been created by a violent catastrophic event

00:11:46
such as a high speed collision with another body or some

00:11:49
gaseous explosion.

00:11:51
The findings reported in the planetary science journal

00:11:54
narrowed down hypotheses about the asteroid's composition in

00:11:58
history which may explain its unconventional behavior. One of

00:12:02
the study's authors, Jamie Sale from Princeton University says

00:12:06
asteroids are sort of like little time capsules dating back

00:12:09
to the formation of the solar system.

00:12:12
They were formed when it was formed and understanding their

00:12:15
composition gives scientists another feature of the puzzle of

00:12:18
the solar system's history. Unlike most known meteor showers

00:12:22
that come from comets which are made up of ice and dust, the

00:12:25
geminid stream seems to originate from an asteroid.

00:12:29
A huge chunk of rock and metal cataloged as 3200 ft on the

00:12:34
study's co-author wolf cougar also from Princeton says most

00:12:37
meteoroid storms are formed by way of cometary debris trails.

00:12:40
So it's unusual that this one is formed from an asteroid.

00:12:44
Additionally, the streams actually orbiting slightly

00:12:46
outside its pa and body when it's closest to the sun.

00:12:50
When a comet travels close to the sun, it gets hotter, that

00:12:54
heat causes ice on the surface and inside the comet to release

00:12:58
lots of gas. Some of which drags bits of dust and ice with it and

00:13:03
that forms a halo around the comet nucleus and also creates

00:13:06
spectacular cometary tails. This material continues to troll

00:13:10
behind the comet as it stays within the sun's gravitational

00:13:14
pole.

00:13:15
And over time, this repeated process fills the orbit of the

00:13:18
parent body with material to form a meteoroid stream. But

00:13:22
because asteroids like 3200 Faton are made of rock and

00:13:26
metal, they're not typically affected by the sun's heat. In

00:13:29
the same way, comets are that leaves scientists wondering

00:13:32
exactly what's causing the formation of 3200 photos meteor

00:13:36
stream across the night sky.

00:13:39
Now, in the past, astronomers have seen bits of 1200 ft on

00:13:43
flake off the parent body under the blistering head of the sun

00:13:47
around closest approach. It's also been suggested a 1200 ft on

00:13:51
which appears to be on a cometary orbit. Not that of a

00:13:54
typical asteroid may be a dead comet one that's lost all its

00:13:58
ice leaving behind only a rocky core which resembles an

00:14:02
asteroid.

00:14:03
But this is where the New Parker Solar probe data comes in. It

00:14:07
shows that while some of the 30 to photons activities are

00:14:10
related to temperature, the creation of the geminid stream

00:14:13
itself was likely caused by something catastrophic to learn

00:14:17
more.

00:14:17
The authors used the New Parker Solar probe data to model three

00:14:21
possible formation scenarios. And they then compare these

00:14:25
models to existing models created from Earth based

00:14:28
observatories. These different models reflect the chain of

00:14:31
events which would transpire according to the laws of physics

00:14:35
based on different scenarios.

00:14:37
And the authors found that a violent collision with another

00:14:40
object or alternatively a gaseous explosion rather than

00:14:44
just being baked by the sun on a close approach was most

00:14:47
consistent with the Parker Solar probe data and probably best

00:14:51
explains the genes we see now this space time and time to take

00:15:13
another brief look at some of the other stories making news in

00:15:16
science.

00:15:16
This week with the science report, archaeologists have

00:15:20
discovered the oldest known caving gravings made by

00:15:23
Neanderthals ever found in France.

00:15:26
The findings reported in the journal plans are thought to be

00:15:29
over 57 years old based on the shape spacing and

00:15:35
arrangement of these engravings. Scientists think they're

00:15:37
deliberate organized and intentional finger fluting

00:15:40
created by human hands. Further dating of the cave found that it

00:15:44
would have become closed off by infilling sediment around 57

00:15:48
years ago.

00:15:49
Long before Homo sapiens were established in the region. This

00:15:53
combined with the stone tools found in the cave strongly

00:15:56
suggest the engravings are work of Neanderthals and suggested

00:15:59
their behavior and culture may have been similarly complex and

00:16:03
diverse as those of Homo sapiens.

00:16:07
A new study has found that as men age, some of their cells

00:16:11
lose the very thing that makes them biological males, they're Y

00:16:15
chromosomes and it turns out this loss hampers the body's

00:16:19
ability to fight cancer.

00:16:22
The study reported in the journal nature found the loss of

00:16:25
the Y chromosome helps cancer cells evade the body's immune

00:16:28
system. This apparently common impact in the aging process in

00:16:32
men results in aggressive bladder cancer but somehow also

00:16:35
renders the disease more vulnerable and responsive to a

00:16:38
standard treatment called immune checkpoint inhibitors.

00:16:42
Now, based on their research, scientists developing a test for

00:16:45
the loss of the Y chromosome in tumors. With the goal of helping

00:16:49
clinicians tailor immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments

00:16:52
for male patients with bladder cancer.

00:16:56
A new study shows that one of the largest carnivores ever to

00:16:59
live on the face of the Earth, the gigantic shark, Megalodon

00:17:03
was warm blooded. The findings reported in the journal, the

00:17:07
proceedings of the National Academy Of Sciences confirms

00:17:09
that Megalodon s body temperature was much higher than

00:17:12
previously thought.

00:17:14
Megalodon, which lived in the oceans between 23 million and

00:17:17
3.6 million years ago, could reach lengths of over 20 m or 60

00:17:21
ft and was the apex predator of the ocean during its reign.

00:17:26
Previous studies had suggested that Megalodon was likely warm

00:17:29
blooded or more precisely regionally endo thermic, just

00:17:33
like some modern day sharks, including Karine Karri, the

00:17:37
great white or white pointer.

00:17:39
We've previously reported average body temperatures

00:17:42
ranging from 22 to 26.6 degrees Celsius, which could be between

00:17:47
10 and 21 degrees Celsius higher than ambient ocean temperatures.

00:17:52
However, the new study instead suggests that Megalodon had an

00:17:55
overall average body temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. And while

00:17:59
previous studies were based on pure inference, the new research

00:18:03
provides the first empirical evidence of warm bloodedness in

00:18:06
the extinct shark. See, the research team used a novel

00:18:09
geochemical technique.

00:18:10
It involved both clumped isotope, thermometry and

00:18:13
phosphate oxygen isotope thermometry in order to test the

00:18:17
Megalodon endothermic hypothesis. The new study found

00:18:20
that Megalodon had a body temperature significantly higher

00:18:23
than sharks considered cold blooded or ecto. The mic

00:18:27
consistent with the fossil shark having a degree of internal heat

00:18:30
production as modern warm blooded animals.

00:18:33
Do hackers find a new way to get around voice authentication

00:18:38
security systems and using artificial intelligence to

00:18:42
determine which songs are likely to be hits and which are misses

00:18:46
with the details. We're joined by technology editor Alex

00:18:49
Zaharov-Reutt from Tech Visar live.

00:18:52
Alex Zaharov-Reutt: Well, computer scientists at Canada's

00:18:54
University Of Waterloo have discovered a method of attack

00:18:57
and can successfully bypass voice authentication security

00:19:01
systems and they're claiming up to a 99 per cent success rate

00:19:04
after only six tries.

00:19:05
Now, obviously, this is bad news for the voice authentication

00:19:07
systems used by banks and government departments call

00:19:10
centers, etc, where they let you log into services by voice and

00:19:13
normally you enroll your voice print by repeating a certain

00:19:16
phrase in your own voice.

00:19:17
The system then extracts your unique vocal signature or voice

00:19:20
print and you can log in and when you repeat a different

00:19:23
phrases in the future, they will compare those two. But obviously

00:19:26
hackers figured out they could use deep fakes to generate

00:19:28
convincing copies of your voice.

00:19:30
And so that obviously led to people making voice

00:19:33
authentication systems to come up with defenses, spoofing

00:19:36
counter measures. But the University Of Waterloo

00:19:38
researchers have identified markers in deep fake audio that

00:19:43
betray that it is being computer generated.

00:19:45
And they wrote a program that removes these markers, making it

00:19:48
indistinguishable from authentic audio. So they tested it against

00:19:52
Amazon connects voice authentication system. Now,

00:19:55
that's a bit more advanced. They only had a 10% success rate in

00:19:58
14 2nd attack. This rate rose to over 40% in less than 30

00:20:02
seconds.

00:20:02
But with some of the less sophisticated voice

00:20:05
authentication systems, they targeted, they achieved a 99%

00:20:08
success rate after six attempts. And they're saying that the only

00:20:11
way to create a secure system is to think like an attacker. If

00:20:14
you don't, you're just wanting to be attacked.

00:20:16
And they say that by demonstrating the insecurity of

00:20:18
voice authentication, we hope that companies relying on voice

00:20:21
authentication as their only authentication factor will

00:20:23
consider deploying additional or stronger authentication

00:20:26
measures.

00:20:27
And this is what's very important to use the Google or

00:20:29
Microsoft or some sort of other authentication app and not rely

00:20:32
upon the SMS messages that come through. Because if somebody

00:20:36
steals a thing out of your phone or convinces a phone company to

00:20:39
transfer your SIM over to an E SIM in one of their phones.

00:20:42
And you have all of your banking and other systems set up to

00:20:44
receive an SMS message. They'll get those messages you won't.

00:20:47
And a lot of people have been caught in that way. So

00:20:49
definitely use as many factors of authentication as you can and

00:20:52
voice is sadly not invulnerable.

00:20:55
Stuart Gary: And the other big story this week has been AI has

00:20:57
now moved into the music industry in a different way to

00:21:00
what one might expect by looking at your heartbeat and being to

00:21:04
work out what you're into.

00:21:05
Alex Zaharov-Reutt: Yeah, look, this was because the US

00:21:07
Entertainment magazine variety revealed last year that there

00:21:11
are over 100 songs released every single day to all the

00:21:15
major streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music and others.

00:21:17
And the problem is that whether it's using human intuition,

00:21:21
aided by existing algorithms to analyze the song's lyrics and

00:21:24
other metadata to predict hits, they're only getting about a 50

00:21:27
per cent success rate, which is sort of one in two.

00:21:29
So Paul Jz, a professor at Claremont Graduate University

00:21:34
and the senior author of this study was telling Z magazine

00:21:38
that they use neurological data and AI techniques to see how our

00:21:41
brains respond to music. And Zach stated that my lab

00:21:44
previously identified what appears to be the brain's

00:21:47
valuation system for social and emotional experiences, which is

00:21:51
called immersion.

00:21:52
And in talks to the streaming service, he says they told me

00:21:54
that they struggled to suggest new music for subscribers due to

00:21:57
the high volume of new music, 1000 songs every day is a lot. I

00:22:00
mean, sadly most of it's crap, all the hits from the last

00:22:05
century.

00:22:05
But you know, so he says that he thought that measuring this

00:22:08
neurologic immersion could help solve the problems. And so he

00:22:12
had 33 participants from the university campus and from the

00:22:15
community and they fitted them with non invasive neurop

00:22:18
physiological recording devices using commercially available off

00:22:22
the shelf devices such as cardiac sensors on smart

00:22:25
watches.

00:22:26
And then they fed this data into their immersion Neuroscience

00:22:29
platform, which uses this data including a person's heart rate

00:22:32
to infer neural states from the activity of cranial nerves.

00:22:37
And so basically, by using these brain signals, they looked at 24

00:22:41
recently released songs from a streaming service and they

00:22:43
looked at three months of data to see whether the song was a

00:22:45
hit or not based on the number of plays. And this set of songs

00:22:49
included both hits and flops.

00:22:50
And at least 700 listens on a particular service could tell

00:22:55
that from their results. When people were listening, they

00:22:57
could tell 97 per cent of the time whether the song was a hit

00:23:00
or a flop and the strength of the system lies in the fact,

00:23:02
these signals can be measured with something as simple as a

00:23:05
smart watch or fitness armband.

00:23:06
Whereas brain activity is typically recorded using

00:23:09
cumbersome lab equipment. So whether this means we're going

00:23:12
to hear a sea of sort of same, same songs that AI says is a hit

00:23:16
or not. I don't know that's.
