  1. You put a lot of time and effort into these threads, Do you ever do anything with these ideas of yours, like apply for patents or seek funding?
  2. https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2020/hubble-sees-a-molten-ring
  3. Been reading about kinetic energy weapons, and it got me thinking, say a 200 tonne passenger jet crashed into London at Mach 8, what would the resulting explosion/shock wave be like. Would it have the potential to flatten London, or would it be just a big ball of flames? Also, during the planes descent, would it speed up due to gravity or slow down due to a loss of thrust and friction?

  5. Thanks so much for for replying. 🖖🏻
  6. Agreed, which is why we have programs like prevent. https://fullfact.org/law/what-prevent-strategy/ Good. I'm happy with this democracy thing we have thanks. If it ain't broke...
  7. Interesting theory. I can't comment on most of it unfortunately, apart from this. https://www.sciencealert.com/we-just-got-more-evidence-that-the-moon-is-tectonically-active

  9. Curious layman posted a topic in Science News

  10. Never heard of this, any chance of starting this thread?
  11. If we replaced the engine with a thermo-nuclear engine, and used water as the fuel, could you produce enough thrust from the steam to get into orbit? And considering the amount of water on earth, would it make a good engine for space exploration?
  12. Not a scientist, so just my 2 cents, I'm on Quora a lot, from various things I've read on there, Goldman Sachs seems to be fond of people with a PhD in physics. Some of their best people have backgrounds in physics. To do with analysis and things like that. Money's not bad either.
  13. Maybe that's why they only sent one signal. They weren't trying to say hello, just seeing if anything replied, so they could evaluate if we were a danger or not before revealing themselves. They could've sent one out in every direction and just waited for any responses.
  14. I can't unsee it. Eh?
  15. https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/7677-min-energy-needed-to-launch-to-the-sun/ found it! Completely pointless now of course. Thought I'd put a link anyway.
  16. Wiki says two up, one down. Just read this on Quora. Which is true? https://qr.ae/pNe457
  17. Apparently prisoners from Missouri state. A well known institution known as 'boys town' that has had several books and movies made about it.
  18. htt ps://youtu.be/8NmoMe2_53I
  19. Atheist. I understand very little about science, even less about religion. It all comes down to trust.
  20. Confessions of a Serbian monster.
  21. Thankfully for many people, not everybody has the same view as you do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salvation_Army
  22. Off topic, but this is brilliant. As someone who has a habit of posting news with sensationalist articles, this a great pointer for what to look for.
  23. I think my computer is spying on me. This is the first video on my YouTube account after reading this post. 🙂
