You seem to have not heard about something called as Particle Accelerator.

Also, are U aware that there is something called MLV, ok I give up, waste of my time.

Actually I have heard of a particle accelerator. I used to work at one. It didn't use magnetic forces to acclerate the particles. The people who designed it understood that F = qv x B, so the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the charge's motion, so it cannot do work on it (i.e cannot impart any kinetic energy, thus it can't speed the particles up). The magnetic fields confine the particles to move in a circular path.

It's a really good habit to define your abbreviations. No, I'm not aware of MLV, since I don't know what MLV stands for. Modern Literal Version of the Bible? Making Learning Visible program? Multirole Light Vehicle? Medium Launch Vehicle? Modified Live Virus? Memory Loader and Verifier? Minimum Lexographic Value? Multi-Language Vendor?

Bla bla bla (whitout explaining how the particle accelerates ?) ....

So how do U believe this Magenetically Leviated Vehicles (MLV) do their acceleration part of work ?

I think Swansont is well aware of how MLVs operate. Are you? Both track and vehicle have electrmagnets. Now, the question you have been so studiously ignoring, how are you going to impart this immense acceleration to all the molecules of the human body? Given that we aren't especially magnetic - though some of us may have magnetic personalities.

Instead of sarcastically admonishing me for not answering a question you didn't ask, you could have politely asked the question.

Particle accelerators use electric fields/forces to accelerate particles. You turn them on and off so that the particle always feels a force that tends to speed it up.

I believe most designs have basically a linear motor system. If you move a conductor through a magnetic field, you incude a voltage and try to drive a current. If you drive the current instead, you move the wire. This is how generators and motors work. The actual force is electrostatic.

He's right about magnetically propelled vehicles. Such thing have been tested. But i think at the scale he is talking about building it on earth itself, would cause serious problems.

But why not build a really large magnetic accelerator in space itself?(between Mars and Jupiter, we got ton of space out there!) We probably couldnt build it right now, too big of a technological hurdle, but in a hundred years it could be possible.

Plus, who said the magnets were on hundred percent of the time. They could be electromagnets.....

I dont see why it couldnt be a possible solution to our problems in century or two.

Dont say I think, be sure about it.

"The track uses a linear synchronous motor"

I addressed this already. Did you have a point?

I'm not sure building and running this thing is going to be worth it. By the time we can build this thing, we'll have much better propulsion technologies that can actually be carried on the ship in question, and ensure a return journey is possible.
