The science fiction movie The Wandering Earth Ⅱ has been a hit since its release
on Jan.22.The space elevators in the movie are quite impressive—elevator cars travel
quickly between the cables that connect Earth’s surface and the space station.This
device may not only be entirely fictional in the future.
Early in 1895,Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was inspired by the
Eiffel Tower.He pointed out that if humans could build a tower high enough to reach
space,people would be able to travel by space elevators.However,such a tower is
impossible because no matter how large the base is,it would not be able to support the
whole system.
Scientists thus considered the idea in a different way.There are satellites in Earth’s
geosynchronous orbit(地球同步轨道) which is about 36,000 kilometers in
altitude.They appear to be fixed in space and rotate(旋转) around Earth once per day
because their speed is just right.According to Scientific American,scientists argued
that if such a satellite were to drop cables toward Earth which were then fixed to its
surface,the whole system would rotate along with the planet.The elevator could then
travel through the tracks.
Now that the theory is sound,one of the challenges that stop engineers from
building the elevators is the cables’ material.According to an article by the Institute of
Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences,a carbon nanotub
