Really? I happen to remember several physicists working on such ideas, including traversable wormholes by Kip Thorne and spinning black hole rings by Roy Kerr. Black Holes & Time Warps by Kip Thorne even goes into detail on how something like this could be accomplished.

This site is very helpful concerning Bose-Einstein Condensate: http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/bec/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_condensate

Yes, a type II civilization is one that can harness energy from its solar system. This would include using gas planets in conversion processes.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Background radiation was here before the solar system started forming. The background radiation was formed in the hot, practically homogeneous gas that existed in the early universe. It's since cooled down to about 2.7K. How the solar system and...

From observations, the constituents of the universe are: Matter: 5% Dark Matter: 25% Dark Energy: 70% The dark energy may be due to a cosmological constant that's gained enough of a reign in the vast reaches of outer space 7 billion years after the big bang in such that it could reverse...

You should most definitely look into reading more by Michio Kaku. - Parallel Worlds - Visions - Einstein's Cosmos - Beyond Einstein Black Holes & Time Warps by Kip Thorne is also very good.

The key to your statement is 'if'. That is, if time is eternal. When you say eternal, do you mean existing before the beginning and after the ending? Did time exist before the Big Bang? That would be the same as saying time existed before space. But, as discussed in Fabric of the Cosmos, there...

With a standard 'time machine' that simply moves along your timeline, it would not move spatially and would then be floating out in space when the shift ended. How that shift in your timeline takes place in the first place is questionable (a fast starship? wormhole? etc). I would think that when...

With a succession of cause-and-effect events, there must necessarily be an original effect which did not have a cause.

I'm a bit confused from all of this. Have many of you read Michio Kaku's explanations in Hyperspace and Parallel Worlds? In Parallel Worlds, Michio Kaku explains that physicists sometimes use these classifications in correlation to a civilization's energy consumption and the laws of...

The X-33 would have been neat. http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/usa/launch/x-33.htm

If a star that is larger than 3 solar masses dies, surpassing electron and neutron degeneracy pressures, the star implodes upon itself, creating enormous impressions of gravity. The gravity eventually becomes so intense and so concentrated that the escape velocity of the surface of the star...

Ghost in the Shell is good. Cowboy Bebop was pretty good too.

Perhaps not everything, but at least everything known in our universe. If parallel universes do exist, then a singularity origin wouldn't have contained everything that exists, just everything in the known universe.

On page 94 of Parallel Worlds, Michio Kaku further explains the concept of something from nothing:
