RICHARDBATTY

Have any calculations been done to estimate the amount of time dilation caused by earths movements. The general idea of this thread is to find out how much difference there could be between the base natural passing of time, and the passing of time as we experience it. I think a good place to start would be to find out our exact amount of movement in relation to a fixed point. Has anyone heard of any work done on this subject.

This was actually the original explanation of FTL in Star Trek. They fire gravitons out the front of the ship' date=' so that space is warped and 'shrunk', then pass over the shrunk space and let it expand behind. The idea was that since one is passing over less space, one can effectively travel faster than c.

 

They forgot that the gravitons can't travel faster than c though, so you can't warp the space fast enough to allow FTL travel. (in princple though, you could use it to make a ship faster (<c), although it would be very inefficient.)[/quote'] I would hate to argue with a higher inteligence but if the graviton shrank space then the next graviton would travel through the space shrank by the first and so on. This means the gravitons would do FTL using the same method as the ship doesn't it. Or am I havng another blond moment.

I have pondered long and hard on this puzzle and have arrived at the only conclusion possible which is as follows:

A ding ding ding ding dididing ding bing bing pscht,

Bike accident shattered knee cap and broke ankle and shin. Back problem caused by nerve damage, sounds daft but it beat the bike accident in terms of pain and it lasted a month without letting up. It then got gradualy better over a further two months. One for the firework enthusiast, I was playing with an air bomb repeater and the thing blew up in my hand. It felt like a high five from god. Don't mess with fireworks or they'll mess with you.

Some equipment has already been used to scan for minor fluctuations in earths gravity from planes to search for oil. I suppose an image orientated version is the next logical step. Cool idea.

What ever it takes. Leathal too. Plenty of bin liners in the cupboard.

Ok yes it does work but consider the numbers. Lets estimate 10 000 000 people want an ipod in the uk. 5 000 000 will go to a shop and 5 000 000 will look to the net. Of those who look to the net only 10% will risk even 50p on whats seems a bit dodgy. That leaves 500 000. That means only the first 50 people on the list get one. Also the number of people wanting one goes down all the time and the company running the sceme will stop advertising it almost completely to make way for the next latest gadget to get more cash in faster.

Ive seen these before. It works like this. You contribute a very small amount to the site either directly or by third party purchase for which the site makes a comission. You are then entered on a list. The site alocates a percentage of its profit to supplying the product in this case an ipod. So lets say the contribution is 50p and the percentage for product is 1% and the ipod is £50. That means 10000 people have to contribute to the site before the first person on the list gets an ipod. Another 10000 before the second person on the list gets an ipod. Thats the most basic format. Some may also impose other conditions like you must get 10 friends to sign up stating you refered them. Its not a lie its not a con but you could be waiting a long time for your ipod. You could probably invest the 50p for the same period and get the latest gadget instead of the ipod.

That's the thing' date=' Richard. The B-2 has no tail stabilizers. It is a wing, and only a wing.

 

B-2 (what we're talking about)

 

F-117a Night Hawk (what you're talking about- note the V tail stabilizers)

 

EDIT- stupid anti-theft devices... It was just a link...

Richard, I think he means the B2, the big flat triangular one.

The stealth bomber has a v tail which is just a mix of horizontal/vertical. Its not mounted any distance from the lift wings. This makes it rediculously unstable as it always wants to roll forwards or backwards. Its so unstable that its actualy unflyable by pilot alone and has an advanced computer system that keeps it level. When the pilot inputs control the computer just allows the plane instability in the direction the pilot chooses. A lot of modern fighters use this principle as it makes them very manuverable. The plane would pull off some realy stupid manuvers on its own without the computer keeping it steady.

I would expect micro wave would be best. A bit risky though.

So can I tell my children that Santa is real and called Guilded but they must be asleep when he comes because hes a radioactive addict from finland.

You could still steer by banking or leaning the plane sideways and then pulling the nose up but you would lose altitude every time you did it. If there was a cross wind you could not steer into the wind slightly to keep your heading and landing in a cross wind would be a nightmare.

What do you want potassium perchlorate for.

I saw a chap on tv. He put a chip in his arm and it transmitted nerve signals to a computer and that recorded them. He could then play them back through the chip and replay his movements. Is that Kevin Warrick?.

I had thought that with a bundle of very fine wire and a routing chip it may be possible to reconnect spinal cords. I heard of people talking about intigrated computers and I like that idea. You would have a fantastic memory and maybe you could just down load skills. A bit matrix but there you go.

yes but a card cone with a bit of hot melt will last a fraction longer than a plastic straw.

no but a slightly higher velocity would help over come the drag on the cone and keep the weight down.

use a stronger container instead of a straw. reduce the volume to be filled when the container breaks. you could even try a piston in the container and have that conected to the nose.

Science of mind is what brings that which cannot be named, because structure hinders the studier from comprehending the mind in it's true state, as opposed to a bag of satsumas.5 kilos and assorted nuts and bolts which only hinders Anna Kournikova from showing her true fiendish, but perfectly shaped flask containing Ethyl Alcohol. Therefore, the only reason Weetabix lacks a certain resonance is because MUTANT TUNA FISH have taken over ScienceForums the natural mating habits of the admins breakfast cerial(s) are directly proportional to American PI. Now the evidence of this radical statement : fafalone the great is a Cerial Killer, and YT will now be castrated for spelling serial wrong. But what NavajoEverclear doesn't know is that the plan to kill his cerial takes precedence over this never-ending paragraph.And thus, we have the unfortunate situation of cerial dying horrible death alongside the Marsha Clark groupies, inside of your own kitchen. Besides if the aliens found out that Michael Jackson and his quest to make all black men look like white women was going to be sucessful, they'd probably insert anal probes into our brains. Muffins do not feel good when put up FOR ME TO POOP ON!! Though upon further analysis blueberry cellular phones, strawberry pop tarts and a side dish of shit on a shingle therefore we come to the conclusion that, while covered in bleu cheese, monkeys dance...

... however, also significant is the number of clingons on the starboard bow as apposed to

I would have thought all the sciences at some point rely on each other to further their knowledge. They all have their place and are equaly important. I had a similar experience with electronics when the place I studied at decided to take the grant and do computing instead.

are you using mouth washes. i used them almost constantly for a couple of months till i was sure it had gone.

i had metronizadole but i think the week course is too short for deep bone infections
