    In this case, we need a probe that can travel at a speed >= the speed of light. How can this be achieved practically?

    How is our technology so advanced given that Curiosity took 9 months to land on Jupiter and it's less than a light year away from earth? we talk about hundred of thousands light years away to have a full picture of the Milky Way.

    Extent of human radio broadcasts photo

    With the current technology we have, how many years would it take to send a probe to reach that position given that the diameter of the Milky Way is hundred of thousands light years? Even if we are able to send a probe to a place outside our Milky Way, how would we be able to obtain a picture of...

    Is it even possible to get a direct picture picture of the Milky Way from that angle? I looked for an answer and found this link: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=435 It explains it well.

    Are you serious? read what's written in the lower left corner of the picture. It's just a concept art of the Milky Way.

    Before you die, what do you want to see become a reality

    World Peace, but since this is impossible to happen anyway I would choose discovery of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. As intelligent as humans at least. Within this context, I would like to see a human-alien collaboration.

    Electric circuits voltage flow question

    1) Since there's no current flowing when the switch is open, all resistors can be disregarded. When you redraw the circuit with no resistors, V2's leads will be connected to the anode and cathode of the battery. Therefore, V2 should display a reading of 12V same as V1. 2) Yes, when the switch...

    News Is the US Red Line in Syria Just Empty Rhetoric?

    the US government works for its interests. They really don't care if millions of people have been brutally killed or tortured as long as the conflict isn't working against its interests. They would rather keep the conflict continues until both sides, the Syrian government and its allies against...

    Electrical engineering curriculum ,your opinion is required.

    There should be a microcontroller/microprocessor course for the purpose of designing embedded systems. I don't see it on the compulsory courses list. However, it's offered as an elective course in the program. Good one.

    Is Gaming Good or Bad for Brain Development?

    I don't see gaming is bad as long as it neither overshadows your life responsibilities, nor it exposes your life to direct danger (i.e., street racing) or puts your living under a game of luck (i.e., gambling). Apart from gaming, it would be far better to spend your time doing a hobby that would...

    Advice for a Newbie Programming PICs: Assemble or C?

    Learn both. If you can write a working program in Assembly, then C would be a like drinking a glass of water just if you know how to write a code in C. Writing in C would be easier and less time consuming, but most of the time you will not be able to see what really happens at the machine...

    How can I find 4 channel oscilloscope in multisim 11

    No, there's no a formal way to have a 4 channel oscilloscope other than in the 'pro power' suite. If you can substitute Multisim, then use LTSpice IV. It's free and capable of displaying as many waveforms as you like. Get it from the link: http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/#LTspice

    How can I find 4 channel oscilloscope in multisim 11

    It depends on which suite you have installed. If you have the 'base' or 'full' suite, then your are limited to a 2 channel oscilloscope. For a 4 channel oscilloscope, you must have the 'pro power' suite. Check the following link from National Instruments to compare between the different Multisim...
