what if...Neutron stars
I know likely its been answered but if two neutron stars collid, it wouldn't seem that there combined massess would forum a black hole...if I recall that any matter striking the surface of a neutron star impacts with such violence that there is a massive explosion. So I...
Granted its not cost effective to produce anti-matter in great amounts; however if one where to apply energy to matter, eventually that matter will release a photon or light. I can't find any information where its not the same with anti-matter. So assuming one can excite anti-matter to give...
To your question are there any other rules we have to know about...like does the egg have to remain with the ship or can you have a sperate modual?
Still you have two options. Option A: follow the KISS strategy (keep it simple stupid) or Option B: Internship at NASA
For my part I...
Mars is likely to be the first planet that we might decide to terraforum. Problems with Mars is its low atmosphere and cold temperatures. I have seen many strange concepts for terraforuming Mars. Like nuking Mars (not a good idea) to building factories to pump out green house gases...
Considering todays deployement systems--and cost--orbital nukes are not a viable delievery system for strategic or tactical use. The CLarks belt is the safes orbit zone around the Earth with limited orbital decay.
**But as a defense against impact strikes--something realistic needs to be...
Bye-Bye Moon...the orbit of the moon does change. Much earlier in history long the moon was closure to the Earth, but is slowly expaning in its orbit from Earth--some day there will no longer be a Moon--Question is, would the Sun in its dying throws consume the Earth before the Moon slips away.
Perhaps Mathmatically Zero is the answer. Negative would not be possible implying "before". But that for reasons yet to be discovered zero became positive and BOOM! the universe started with a singularity that was unstable. Perhaps there are a million, million billion zeros each second in...
You are indeed correct, my theory does require some element of advanced warning. Of course if sentry satelites where posted far enough out beyond the crital radious for enough deflect to occure. Problem is what would such a radius be, and how many sentry satelites would be needed.
:smile: I've always been impatient when I hear NASA has launched a new probe for some mission. I hate having to wait years to see the mission unfold. But that is the reality of space.
I've always wished that NASA had a giant Rail Gun, about a 100 miles long studded with reactors to...
Actually such an impact would be much worst. First of all the object is about the size of the moon (the shadow on the Earth was nearly equal to the whole of North American. At impact it would start to turn into a plasma as it does in the clip But the blast wave would streadout faster then the...
As most now accept an astroid or comet ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Hollywood's idea of dealing with the threat is to fly crews to the object and blow it up. NASA's solution involves mass drivers, impact airbags of gases and dust, lasers, solar saiks and etc.
**Throwing out Hollywood's...
Granted, the universe is expanding, granted the rate or speed is ever increasing, but what is the terminal velocity, knowing that anything with mass can not reach the speed of light?
