  1. Precognition Kinda like you know whos calling before you answer. ;x
  2. Just a heads up on the suggestion/comments forum.
  3. I found an on a "mysterious force" slowing down Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11. Both probes are traveling at 27,000 miles per hour, but scientists have noted that they are slowing by about 6 miles per hour per century. You can find the article here I wonder if they ever resolved the problem, seeing as the article was published in february. Perhaps they found out why.
  4. Or we could just do away with standard gasoline and convert to hydrogen power. Of course that in it self presents a whole new set of problems.
  5. Not that faf Hubbles law explains that the further away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us. Hubbles law: V=H0r H0 is the hubble constant, and r is the distance (in mpc) Now, if r(being distance) > (c / h0) then V > c, which means the galaxy is moving away from us faster than light. Galaxies which have a distance greater than c/H0 are moving away from us faster than the speed of light; how is this not a violation of known laws..
  6. More questions woohoo! I always come up with a handful of questions while in class, but never can think of them when I'm at home. So I'll just post them as I think of them. Frequency= © / (wavelength) Energy=(planck's constant)(frequency) So when the wavelength increases, the total energy decreases. Now, here's my question.. Say a star is speeding away from the earth. If I'm traveling behind the star at the same speed as the star in my rocketship, my wavelength measurement will be lets say 600nm (just for example). Now, someone on earth who takes measurements gets the wavelength measurement of 800nm. The earth's measurement of energy will be less than my rocketships. Where did the energy go? Which is the accurate measure of energy?
  7. Hubble's law states that there is a linear relationship between distance and recessional velocity, correct? Following this line of thought, wouldn't there be very distant galaxies that are traveling faster than light? How is this not a violation of special relativity?
  8. The car is probably one of the safest places you can be in an electrical storm. I remember seeing video on TV where people were filming tornadoes from inside the car when lightning struck the car! They were unharmed. I live in central florida, we have the worst lightning in the world. As long as your not out walking around in it you should be fine. I don't know about lightning striking you inside your house. I'm sure its very unlikely. I've lived in this house (in fl) for 18 years, and lightning has hit all around my house: backyard trees, the power transformer infront of my house, and the front yard tree. Its never hit my house nor anyone else in my neighborhoods.
  9. bump it up. theres some new members
  10. There was a young lady named Bright, Whose speed was far faster than light; She set out one day, In a relative way, And returned home the previous night. Here's an article about Wang's superluminal experiment that mentions the peak of the pulse exiting the chamber before it entered. Here's the abstract to Wang's experiment.

    Ghosts?

    Give me about 10 minutes, I'll have to dig them up.

    Ghosts?

    I got some interesting shots of orbs last year on my senior trip. While viewing them online I thought they were just lens anomalies or something. But as I was flipping through the photos I saw one photo absolutely filled with them, while the next photo, taken probably 2-3 seconds later from the same angle of the same thing, had none. Perked my interest. As far as temporal fractures, I've had those in the back of my mind for quite some time, just never knew what to call them. Maybe thats why people tend to see/hear civil war ghosts/sounds around famous civil war battle grounds.

    free webspace

    Yea, mucho apologies. That was, as faf said, someone who does not represent our site.
  14. Its interesting how we can study the emitted radio waves and deduce the contents of the origin.
  15. Thanks for the link edward
  16. The linear relationship in hubbles law implies that the universe is uniformly expanding. Knowing this, can astronomers/physicists study the motions of other galaxys and come up with a center point from which everything started? In essence, the center of the universe? Wouldn't this also give us an idea of the approximate age of the universe?
  17. ahem *bump* since no one seems to know :/
  18. Do scientists know exactly the mechanism by which photons are quantumly entangled? I've heard reports that they "communicate" with each other at +c speeds. Do they know how this works? In the experiment performed with entangled photons traveling through sheets of metal [Nature (vol 418, p 304)] the photon was converted to electron waves which passed through the metal, then re-emitted the photon on the other side, which was still entangled. How are they entangled, and how would this entanglement remain in tact with the electron waves?
  19. NewScientist is reporting that pairs of photons quantumly entangled can pass through sheets of metal without the entanglement being destroyed. This could lead to advances in quantum computing. Journal reference: Nature (vol 418, p 304)
  20. In theory, 3 of the 4 things you mentioned are possible, just beyond our technical capabilities. As our technology becomes more advanced, the more "impossible" things you will see beginning to happen. -- A more simplified way of cloaking would be simply to have active cells on each side of the ship that display whats on the other side. I read about the US army researching into this thought.
  21. Just out of curiosity what do you think drives it to sentience?
  22. Definatly, I like your perspective
