ISD Max Trix ISD Community Communications Liaisons 1634	Posted - 2017.02.22 18:11:22 - [1] - Quote https://www.ccpgames.com/news/2017/eve-online-gamers-to-join-in-exoplanet-search-through-scientific-collaboration/ 22 February 2017 GÇô Reykjavik, Iceland - CCP Games today announced that the search for planets outside our solar system (AKA exoplanets) will come to their massively multiplayer online game EVE Online. This unique scientific crowdsourcing effort represents a collaboration between CCP developers, Massively Multiplayer Online Science (MMOS), University of Reykjavik, and the University of Geneva and its honorary professor Michel Mayor, winner of the prestigious 2017 Wolf Prize for Physics and discoverer of the first exoplanet. Within EVEGÇÖs virtual universe, players will interact with real-world astronomical data provided by the University of Geneva through a fully integrated part of the EVE Online game experience called Project Discovery. Once enough players reach comparative consensus on classification of the data, it will be sent back to the University of Geneva for use in refining the search for exoplanets. GÇ£We were thrilled to see the successes of our first foray into citizen science, in which EVE players have been voracious contributors to the database of the Human Protein Atlas,GÇ¥ said Andie Nordgren, EVEGÇÖs Executive Producer. GÇ£In searching for the next dataset for our massive player community to tackle, the stars aligned for players to have the opportunity to directly contribute to the search for new planets with a world-renowned scientific team. Real people around the world collaborating in a virtual universe to explore the real universe is the stuff science fiction, and soon science fact, is made of.GÇ¥ The previous iteration of Project Discovery yielded incredible results in a short amount of time, with players submitting over 25 million classifications of human cells back to the Human Protein Atlas. It proved EVEGÇÖs legendary communityGÇÖs massive support for real science efforts as players formed one of the largest collectives of citizen science contributors in the world. The search for exoplanets will come to EVE in 2017, with a full presentation by Michel Mayor scheduled for April 6-8 at EVE Fanfest 2017 in Reykjavik, Iceland.

And crowdsourcing information of this magnitude is something I have wished for for years ever since I used to run the SETI program on my computers when they werent in use years ago. And I am glad that CCP rewards us with some things worth isk to the masses for it and highly encourage CCP to talk to more companies, like SpaceX, and other spacial entrepreneurs to help crunch numbers and values for the future. It would be an excellent way to move humanity forward into the stars. Gaming will be the new way of working if its done right. Have you heard anything I've said? You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right? That's right. Had to end sometime.

Duchess Amarrian Tesla Aerospace Industries 10	Posted - 2017.03.03 06:37:13 - [19] - Quote I always love the candy news that CCP post and not the news under the hood. You say that project discovery was a huge success. What i would like to know is: 1 - how much money did CCP make from this. 2 - How many human hours were involved in the success 3 - How much real cash it costs for the above point in real life or would have taken. 4 - Most importantly were the players compensated back properly or is this the new world order of work more for less pay. Amazing,

And yes, this is a contest, and you have 2 weeks to submit to be in the running and they want some graphs to prove it, and you can win it. Lorentz Transformation In physics, the Lorentz transformation (or transformations) are coordinate transformations between two coordinate frames that move at constant velocity relative to each other. Wait Equation The Wait Calculation was introduced by Andrew Kennedy in his paper "Interstellar Travel: The Wait Calculation and the Incentive Trap of Progress",[1] published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society (JBIS).

Meras en Daire R3d Crown 0	Posted - 2017.03.09 00:04:00 - [21] - Quote Okay, bit of a tangent here. PLEX is currently worth 19.95 USD, and is selling for 1,030,000,000 ISK minimum at this time. Therefore, 1 ISK = 1.9368932e-8 USD, or 1.9368932e-6 cents. That's 0.0000019 cents/ISK If you earn 1,000,000 ISK per hour, you are earning 1.9 cents/hour, or $0.02 USD. If you earn 1,000,000 ISK/hour, then a PLEX at today's market will cost you 1030 hours. If you worked for $0.02 USD/hour, you would have earned $10.30. The USA minimum wage is $7.25/hour. If you had worked at $7.25/hour, you would have earned $7467.50USD. $7475.50USD will purchase 373 PLEX. Those PLEX will lower the market value of PLEX if sold at once, however they would be worth over 373,000,000,000 ISK.

At that rate, it would take you over 100 billion years to start to go back in time. That is, if it doesn't take you 100 times longer than the existence of the Universe going off on a tangent in relation to the Wait Equation. Ship Type : Out of pod (for now)
Samuel Triptee Aliastra Gallente Federation 113	Posted - 2017.03.14 00:50:26 - [23] - Quote It seems some of the posters here don't acknowledge that it is a voluntary part of the game. If you don't want to contribute then don't click the icon. Have You Hugged Your Frigate Today?
William Ormono Regional Rat Control Ltd. 3	Posted - 2017.03.14 14:31:37 - [24] - Quote Samuel Triptee wrote: It seems some of the posters here don't acknowledge that it is a voluntary part of the game. If you don't want to contribute then don't click the icon. I was thinking this same thing. Add to that the fact that participation nets you an ISK reward and you get a voluntary activity that compensates you for your time and may help advance real world research... If people have an issue with this being an in game feature then I just don't understand. And to those who cry "But how much money did CCP make on this endeavor?" I would answer, hopefully lots. They are a business after all. If they can provide a service to the scientific community and add some content to their game all while making a little money on the side, then good for them. My hat is off to you CCP. Well done.

Wolfino The Institution. Did he say Jump 4	Posted - 2017.03.22 11:20:23 - [26] - Quote Everyone knows that eve has ship spinning down time in the game, waiting for fleet, getting camped in station etc... This is genius it gives players something to do that can have real impact in the real world. And I may be mistaken but it sounds like they are linking this with the discovery of new systems my guess the addon of the jove systems. Which means it also has an affect the on the game universe too. Things like this are some of the biggest reasons I always come back to play eve!

Amazing, You got a little isk but the main point is its a volunteer thing to do in your free time. I would love to see a little more isk or vanity items for it but due to it being volunteer and in a game that has lots of down time it gives content for the down time and for people like me who are very interested in the progress of space exploration and understanding I will have a chance to help affect real life space discovery.

DrysonBennington Eagle's Talon's 317	Posted - 2017.03.25 11:00:14 - [29] - Quote It's more like using the network of available computers to process the data a faster rate than the astronomers are able to. If you think about it Eve Online covers pretty much all of the time zones and has around 20,000 members on at any time. The University of Geneva hardly has 20,000 members who are able to compile and process the large amount of data that the mainframe of Eve Online is able to compile and process. People want to be part of something that is meaningful if not prophetic. Being part of Exo Planet Hunting will be meaningful as well as prophetic as no other environment other than Eve Online has immersed its Capsuleer's in the reality of space exploration. Some in-game rewards though are in order such as: Exo Planet Hunting attire Exo Planet Hunting skins Exo Planet Hunting ships and modules Out of game rewards: Exo Planet Hunters Jacket Exo Planet Hunters Mens underwear Exo Planet Hunters Woman's brazier Exo Planet Hunters Watch Cap and Ball Cap Exo Planet Hunters Patch I have been part of few exo planet hunting programs that are really fun and interesting. I think I even found a black hole as there was an area of space about the size of a half dollar coin with light all around it. A normal sun would appear in the same manner but with the circle of the sun appearing in the center of it.
