    What exactly does that have to do with anything?

    Solar power satellite concept from Asimov's I, Robot

    In the i,Robot book -by Issac Asimov- one of the stories mention some sort of satellite for gathering solar energy. Basically this satellite will be stationary outside of our orbit, and it will gather solar energy and intensify it into a beam that is transmitted into a base on earth. I...

    Graduate If we moved all matter in one direction, where would we end up?

    Good point here, and I feel dumb now >.>

    Graduate If we moved all matter in one direction, where would we end up?

    Ok, CMB might work as a "temporary" solution, but sooner or later it will just disappear, like in a trillion years from now I reckon... Besides, If every last bit of matter moved 10 cm to the right, where would it be moving into, the matter is the universe! I think the question can be...

    We will end up an X distance from what... There is nothing to be moving in respect to?

    I know it's impossible, but why wouldn't you want to use your mind a little?!

    After rethinking, this belongs to General Astronomy... If a mod could move it please, and sorry for the inconvenience.

    Graduate If we moved all matter in one direction, where would we end up?

    OK... So I was sitting there minding my own business when my alter ego popped out of no where and started asking me all these weird questions... One in particular was interesting enough, and I couldn't even imagine what would be the result. What if we mounted every planet, star, asteroid...

    Undergrad Gravity used to produce Electrical current?

    I feel guilty to discuss this further after I knew it's against the rules, but I can't help it ;p. What if we replaced the expanding vessle with a hollow vessle that is connected to a pump via a hose. If we fill this vessle with water it will drown, once it reaches the bottom, the pump...

    Undergrad Gravity used to produce Electrical current?

    Oh sorry didn't know this subject was not allowed, if it's really against the rules then a mod should close this thread.. Again sorry for breaking any rules :)

    Undergrad Gravity used to produce Electrical current?

    Hi, I'm not a physicist or anything so my question here can be silly, please take it easy on me and tell me -if so- why wouldn't this work. My thought is as follows: We need a pipe, water, a vacuum vessel that can expand and contract by mechanical means, copper wires, and a magnet...
