    Moving an asteroid into Earth orbit

    For the record, I don't like Armageddon or any of Michael Bay's films for that matter.

    Moving an asteroid into Earth orbit

    I actually have an entire profession dedicated to asteroid wrangling in a science fiction story I'm developing. This profession plays an integral role in terraforming because it allows for large ice-laden objects in the outer systems to be brought to the inner terrestrial planets to deliver...

    Effective Destructive Range of Supernovae?

    Thanks for your response. That seems like a much smaller range than I was expecting. Since I'm applying this information in a fictional setting I'm not too concerned with potential supernova candidates in regards to Earth. In fact, general information concerning the effects of a supernova as...

    Effective Destructive Range of Supernovae?

    Hey all, It’s been a while since I’ve visited the forums but my question is strangely one that I’ve had a difficult time trying to find an answer for. I was wondering if anyone either knows or can point me to information regarding the effective destruction radius of a supernova, preferably...

    Hopefully a simple exponent question.

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I've even done simple exponent-based math. I'm trying to solve for x where 1.00062142^x = 4 I realize that this could also be written as the X root of 4 = 1.00062142 but this doesn't help me either because I don't know how to solve for it either way...

    News Notable People's Thoughts on the Federal Reserve System

    Slavery?... Yes! Thus far, it seems that Art is the only one here who has read my attachment so I thought I would cite a section of my paper that illustrated the intentions of international banking institutions and their advocates to establish a modern-day invisible feudalistic society among...

    News Notable People's Thoughts on the Federal Reserve System

    Found it. I ran home and grabbed my paper covering a brief history of fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve System. I inserted a forward in the document to help clarify my intentions and provide some basic information. The paper begins with the history of fractional reserve...

    News Notable People's Thoughts on the Federal Reserve System

    I just thought I should add that expecting the average person to change their perceptions about our current financial system and the Federal Reserve without giving them the opportunity to become more thoroughly acquainted with the material will probably result in dissent and opposition. Anyone...

    News Notable People's Thoughts on the Federal Reserve System

    Jonny_trigonometry, I first want to say that I too agree that the Federal Reserve is one of the most corrupt and dangerous institutions on the planet. This position has been derived from my own personal research on banking with special emphasis on fractional reserve banking that I have...

    Understanding Time Dilation: How Fast Do You Have to Go?

    Potential Solution I first want to apologize that I have not yet read all the posts throughout this thread. However, I believe that I may be able to provide a way to add a visualized approach to this subject. Until just today, I myself was having difficulty entirely grasping relativity...

    Could Faster-Than-Light Travel Create Time Dilation Effects?

    Thanks JesseM for the thoughtful explanation. It reinforces what I have just come to discover about simultaneity and time dilation after performing some interesting computer simlulations. I was able to understand the fact that the laws of physics and the curvature of space-time in SR doesn't...

    News Kansas votes to endorse ignorance

    So what you're saying Art is that it's ok to be close minded and to limit the variety of knowledge that one acquires. I'm not suggesting that schools should try to influence students to embrace any religious doctrine, but that students should at least be made aware of the most common belief...

    Could Faster-Than-Light Travel Create Time Dilation Effects?

    Ok, so I understand why clocks would appear to operate at different speeds between an observer and traveler in different inertial frames, but what actually causes the difference in the so-called simultaneity? Does the actual curvature of space-time change as something approaches c? I can accept...

    Could Faster-Than-Light Travel Create Time Dilation Effects?

    Thanks for the article link Jesse. The warp drive described is very similar to what I had in mind. I guess since I'm using this technology in the context of science fiction I could probably get away with stating that the observer and traveler could remain on the same time plane despite FTL...

    Personally, I think that there is nothing wrong with offering a class in public schools that teaches about the most common world religions including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Additionally, I believe that a general philosophy class would be advantageous to students...
