    How is it possible to live past the event horizon?

    Just to confuse the issue about the event horizon because I can't find a definitive answer about black holes. Are black holes an actual singularity, or are black holes some kind of thickening "soup"? My current visualization is a singularity that forms when the blackout is first created...

    Microwave/laser heating on small atmospere area

    Sorry AlexLAV not my field, as the "AncientCoder" nick is from 40 years in computers. I'm basically just asking if people have considered that "beaming" this much power through the atmosphere have considered the effects of how much energy would be absorbed! THX Bobbywhy! From the...

    Microwave/laser heating on small atmospere area

    Another little number I ran across on a different subject(AGW) at physorg! Not sure how much these numbers apply, but I don't think I would like to see the results! THX all!

    Microwave/laser heating on small atmospere area

    I've been doing a little reading and apparently there is some absorption depending on the wavelength used versus the specific chemicals(?) in the atmosphere! Water vapour absorbs this frequency! Oxygen absorbs that frequency! et al So if they are pumping down mega-watts or giga-watts, we...

    Microwave/laser heating on small atmospere area

    THX I thought there might be some effect though at those high energies.

    Microwave/laser heating on small atmospere area

    Background: I been reading some articles about creating massive solar farms in space, on the moon, etc. and sending the energy down to Earth by microwaves or laser. Question: Wouldn't this EM radiation create a kind of thermal "column" and some nasty weather because of the constant hot spot?

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    Programming/systems background(40+ years) so this is way outside of my field, although extremely interesting! Since the OPERA experiment is designed to test/capture the rare http://public.web.cern.ch/press/pressreleases/Releases2011/PR19.11E.html" , has any thought been given to the ideal...
