Graduate Can gamma rays be deflected or shielded against with an electromagnetic field?
How about a "plasma"? Contain the plasma in a megnetic field but how the density of the plasma or its charge can shield against Gamma ray's.- drakken1985

Graduate What if Neutron Stars Collide: Matter, Mass & Metal
what if...Neutron stars I know likely its been answered but if two neutron stars collid, it wouldn't seem that there combined massess would forum a black hole...if I recall that any matter striking the surface of a neutron star impacts with such violence that there is a massive explosion. So I...- drakken1985

Graduate Can Anti-Photons Exist in Our Universe and How Do They Behave?
Granted its not cost effective to produce anti-matter in great amounts; however if one where to apply energy to matter, eventually that matter will release a photon or light. I can't find any information where its not the same with anti-matter. So assuming one can excite anti-matter to give...- drakken1985

High School How Can Fins Enhance the Stability of a CO2-Powered Rocket?
To your question are there any other rules we have to know about...like does the egg have to remain with the ship or can you have a sperate modual? Still you have two options. Option A: follow the KISS strategy (keep it simple stupid) or Option B: Internship at NASA For my part I...- drakken1985

High School Terraforming Mars: Strange Ideas and Possibilities
Mars is likely to be the first planet that we might decide to terraforum. Problems with Mars is its low atmosphere and cold temperatures. I have seen many strange concepts for terraforuming Mars. Like nuking Mars (not a good idea) to building factories to pump out green house gases...- drakken1985

Graduate Alternative Solutions to Deflecting Asteroids or Comets From Earth
Considering todays deployement systems--and cost--orbital nukes are not a viable delievery system for strategic or tactical use. The CLarks belt is the safes orbit zone around the Earth with limited orbital decay. **But as a defense against impact strikes--something realistic needs to be...- drakken1985

High School Does the Moon's Orbit Stay the Same?
Bye-Bye Moon...the orbit of the moon does change. Much earlier in history long the moon was closure to the Earth, but is slowly expaning in its orbit from Earth--some day there will no longer be a Moon--Question is, would the Sun in its dying throws consume the Earth before the Moon slips away.- drakken1985

What existed before the big bang?
Perhaps Mathmatically Zero is the answer. Negative would not be possible implying "before". But that for reasons yet to be discovered zero became positive and BOOM! the universe started with a singularity that was unstable. Perhaps there are a million, million billion zeros each second in...- drakken1985

Graduate Alternative Solutions to Deflecting Asteroids or Comets From Earth
You are indeed correct, my theory does require some element of advanced warning. Of course if sentry satelites where posted far enough out beyond the crital radious for enough deflect to occure. Problem is what would such a radius be, and how many sentry satelites would be needed.- drakken1985

High School Realistic Meteor Impact Modelling: Is This YouTube Video Accurate?
Actually such an impact would be much worst. First of all the object is about the size of the moon (the shadow on the Earth was nearly equal to the whole of North American. At impact it would start to turn into a plasma as it does in the clip But the blast wave would streadout faster then the...- drakken1985

Graduate Alternative Solutions to Deflecting Asteroids or Comets From Earth
As most now accept an astroid or comet ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Hollywood's idea of dealing with the threat is to fly crews to the object and blow it up. NASA's solution involves mass drivers, impact airbags of gases and dust, lasers, solar saiks and etc. **Throwing out Hollywood's...- drakken1985

Graduate Terminal Velocity: Speed Beyond the Universe
Granted, the universe is expanding, granted the rate or speed is ever increasing, but what is the terminal velocity, knowing that anything with mass can not reach the speed of light?- drakken1985
