If you want to take a look here is a tool to calculate and some different examples/discussion of effects.

That's fake/satire.

Logically it doesn't even make sense. Be too easy for literally anyone to track and fairly simple to block/remove.
Anyways back to the topic at hand, I think once they figure out how to send more complex inputs into the brain we'll see the most progress.
Direct data sensing and Mind-to-Mind communication. No language barriers, no worrying about egos and emotions, no looking at data converted to something you can use the standard senses to figure out. I don't think it is even possible to imagine what we'll accomplish then.

That much I get, but I was told that, since i is solely defined by i2=-1, that there's no difference between i and -i because you can square the negative version of a number and get the same answer:
Square roots have both positive and negative results.
[latex]\pm \sqrt 4 = (2,-2)[/latex]
So 2 squared equals 4, but taking the square root of 4 yields both positive and negative 2. So you can't end up in a logic breakdown where 2 = -2(or anything similar).

@OP: Make sure what you are posting is original content and that you are not spamming the same thing across multiple sites.

The concept of a superorganism would be closest to what is being described here.
Personally I see the term as being more applicable to individual species than the Earth as a whole. We can provably survive without the bulk of the planet's lifeforms. If we were truly incorporated this wouldn't be possible. Conversely we can't survive long at all without other humans. More suggestive of a humanity superorganism than Gaia.

I have been trying to determine(for a game I am designing) what fuels and engines would a technologically advanced interstellar species most commonly use for space travel assuming they want as much energy output as possible for the smallest volume and mass possible. It seems as far as fuel goes hydrogen is the only combustible fuel that makes sense, other then that they might use antimatter, fission and fusion. Are there any other forms they might want to use and why?
I could see safety reasons as being a cause to include an emergency/backup source. How most of our own oceangoing vessels are designed. Would also need to consider a ship engaged in maneuvering(docking, entering atmosphere, etc).
It's likely that they would use free energy because their elite probably doesn't suppress such technology unlike here on Earth.
My simulated creatures frequently discovered sources of free energy. Their population reached astounding heights, then the program crashed...
Let us assume it does not exist in our Universe and fervently hope that this is so.

Several forms of body modification are along those lines.

Hard to say what would happen exactly. My guess would be simple deformation if the site were kept clean. Foot binding and neck rings are probably the closest to what you are describing.
Amniotic band constriction may also be worth a look.

Da. You can use ferrite cores to help limit the problem, though in a Science class seems like it could be useful for demonstration.

The strange thing is that the creature is actually in the open ocean and yet is surrounded by a tank filled with humanoid creatures capable of crude vocalizations. We must monitor this situation carefully to see if it is keeping the humanoid creatures as pets or if they are being used in animal testing.

Yes.
Uppercase characters are distinct from lowercase characters. Using ALL uppercase letters are primarily used to identify constant variables. Remember that variable names are case-sensitive.

This appears to be memory location addressing, possibly coupled with a finite state machine. Appears at least similar to some Assembly languages.
You may want to look up "race condition", likely source of the bugs.

Should be fine. Most of the danger comes from the expansion/phase change extracting heat as it goes. Some can convert into hazardous gasses, but only at relatively high temperatures.

I guess I am just depressed as it shouldn't matter whether law enforcement comes out full battle rattle or with nothing more than a uniform and a smile.

@Acme:
She has an eye condition, which causes most of said restrictions. No birds hurt, no gardens pooped in. Close in terms to what the OP was asking about. Hunting restricted to earth bound critters, even assisting us in locating indoor pests and returning them outside still living.

Should we feel better that it only harasses wildlife? If you must keep cats, the Humane Society recommends keeping them indoors. And whose veggie garden is she crapping in; do you know? Do you care?
She's practicing catch and release. If it is good enough for us 2-leggeds...
She's never outside that long nor does she stray from our yard. Only 5-10 minutes while her canine protector does his thing. Weird instincts for a cat.

My present cat's instincts are off. She hunts but doesn't know what to do with the animal after catching it. Doesn't much like going outside either, only at night with easy access to the door.
Strangely effectively at alerting us to indoor pests. She's like a bird dog. She finds one and then meows for us to take care of it.

You would need to add a counter and possibly a loop.
pseudocode:
for (i = 1; i < 100; i++) {
PRESS i @ 3789;
}Otherwise you can instead create one script with each change hard coded.
ie.
PRESS 1 @ 3789
WAIT(or equivalent only if necessary)
PRESS 2 @ 3789
WAIT
...
May be an idea to look at different scripting programs.

It would still be in a gravity well though. We are not short on space in Space. Imagine a Colony in the Sky instead of one tethered to the ground.
You would need to extract and process lunar ice and even then there is only a finite amount of it. Fuel, drinking, oxygen production and building materials. People like to talk about using lunar water to do all these things and there's only so much of it. Something is going to give.
Some sort of automated base might be worth it(extracting components of minerals), but there is little there that warrants setting up a human colony. May as well leave the radiation and dust problems where they are.
Biggest gains we'll see will come from better recycling of what we already bring up. Carbon Dioxide is ironically a prime candidate.

This might be of some help to better understand what happens as you approach c(and in turn the issue with taking measurements at c).

Sometimes ideas conflict and debates happen, which is what we were talking about.
It is moral to enforce rules another has freely agreed to. It doesn't even matter what the moderators themselves think on the rule, they are merely asked to enforce it.
When ideas conflict in a discussion you look at the logic behind what they are saying. If it is valid you update your own thinking, acknowledge the fact and proceed accordingly. If it is not you point out the way in which it is not valid.
If you try to "win" a discussion you are only going to "lose" when the other parties end up dismissing your views as having value.
Way to subtract the post I was responding to...
I copy-pasted points I was responding to. I didn't want to post the whole post and risk the thread devolving.

I'm gay but I don't want to live with another man neither I want to see gay parade. I'm also not interested for entering into the gay scene.
You don't need to define yourself in anyone's terms but your own. Throw off the shackles of society's opinion and all that jazz.
If it is genetic, maybe it did/does have some benefit which resulted in it being passed along or maybe it is just an option that will bear fruit in the future as tech-assisted reproduction becomes more common place. Who's to say? Don't try to outguess the human genome keeping its options open. Nothing is good/bad, it is only judged based on how it contributes to fitness.

A molecule isn't an atom...
An ion is defined as an having more or less electrons than the number of protons.
