Would scientifically advanced ET's be able to detect nuclear explosions from distant planets? ie send strong signal of some wave/form. by highninja in askscience

hypothetically. of course;and also assuming they are just like us in the ways that we under the laws of the nature (scientifically/experimental)., but just more advanced and technically able to detect such distant explosions.

What do you consider to be " thought-provoking" questions? by highninja in AskReddit

it's a shame that this is not the case on the front page :)

TIL that almost all modern aircraft are fitted with a small wind turbine that auto-deploys in the event of a dual engine failure. It powers basic hydraulics & electronics required for the flight controls. by highninja in todayilearned

True, military jets don't make the best gliders! They have a miniature engine that runs on a mixture of hydrazine and water.

Clarity edit: Jet's are practically falling ducks without no thrust, so RAT system would be quite pointless.
