Let me rephase what I was saying above. In our current understand in physics FTL travel is not possible, but our current understanding is limited due the fact we have very little understanding into origin of mass, gravity, and time, and until such time as we do have this understanding I think it...

(along with above here is a copy of another post I had made) You know I heard allot of this before and will I'm just not buying it. Why is everyone so quick to ftl is impossible. I see a one problem with Einstein theory. If mass changes with the speed of an object, then is mass a virable...

Hummm, So what happens when I setting outside and I'm looking at the North star and I turn around as fast as can to look at a star in the south. Could I say that because everything is relative that I did not move but everything else did and if so would that movement not appare to FTL?

You know I heard allot of this before and will I'm just not buying it. Why is everyone so quick to ftl is impossible. I see a one problem with Einstein theory. If mass changes with the speed of an object, then is mass a virable? With out know what interaction makes this happen I think it is a...

Nooooo... Redhat (A.K.A Fedora) sucks. I use it and knoppix. Knoppix is much more user friendly. Redhat does not come with any goodies, like mp3 support, java plug-ins, and Media players, just to name a few. Knoppix is much better. To install some software on Redhat you have to hunt down RPM's...

I use linux. It's nice. There are allot of windows program you can't get for it, but for the most part linux is great. Having both a windows and linux computer I like the linux one better. Working in IT I'm tried of all the virus in windows, and the price is right with linux. If anybody is think...

Well then how much copper will it take? I'm sure by now the guy who has post this has already went to class and got his answer.

You right we should let him do his own work, but if you think I'm incorrect, I'll show it, then you can correct me. Specific Gravity (SP) is how much something weighs compared to water, with SP = .5 then the wood weighs half of what the water weighs. To make the wood sink you would need to make...

I would agree, with a lquid. With a solid you need the size. Take a solid metal block that would sink and pound it into a long thin piece of sheet metal and shape it like a boat and it may float, The density and mass did not change only its size and shape. A solid will float if it weighs less...

Well, I have never seen one, and I'll leave it that, but the point I was making is math can show us something is there or that something is missing ,depending on the problem. What is there or missing may not always be as clear. If math is all that was needed we already have all the answers. If...

Ok, I had a thought on the last post. If the SG of the overall piece of wood is .5 than it weighs half of what water would way for the same area. If you double the weight than the wood would then weigh the same as water, and would start sinking. A piece of copper weighing 3.05 and a piece of...

I don't think you can answer this question without knowing the dimension of the wood. Sinking stuff works like this. If an objects area weighs less than water would for the same area then it floats. Without knowing the area of the wood you can not tell if water for the same area weighs less or...

No, math does not prove things exist, It suggests things exist. However this really depends on the problem. Here is an STUPID but ture example. Mathematically there are thousands of planets that can have life that is more advance then our own, and 1 of 20 people have seen ufo's. So...

Hello all, I was looked at this NSF website... http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/frameless/waves.html It was talking about how particles had wave like properties. I look on the net for more info and found some people think the model of the atom is wrong ...

Ok, I'm getting feed back on the train, but of the two ships, and what the fisrt ship would see (about 4 post back)? I just had another thought no the train. Isn't time dilation part of mass going to infinity, if so, would on time dilation mean the train could go the speed of light? Then If the...
