Thank you for your answer. I must admit I am at a loss on how to figure it all out. The game is very complex and there are so many different cards and then the rules are a nightmare because basically the game has like 8-900 rules that the cards constantly break or tweak in a way or five. Games...

I play magic the gathering in a format called commander. Each player start with a deck of card that has 99 cards in it, for simplicities sake, I'll give very simple rules. Each card is different, we have 4 players, each shuffling their deck of cards and drawing 7. Roll for who goes first...

Well, from what I understand, the principle behind Hawking's radiation is that everything radiates at the very absolute least as a black body of X temperature. Since nothing can ever reach absolute zero, it follows that you must emit something that invariably means you lose mass, as energy must...

So, I was thinking, the most massive black holes are expected to evaporates in roughly a googol year. Fine. But I was reading that if protons are stable, every planet and non black hole star remains are basically expected to turn into iron star from quantum tunneling after mind numbing time on...

I know neutron are unstable and decay, I also know that apply mainly for unbound neutron, so would it be possible to have say a neutron star, after a huge amount of time reach absolute zero? I'm talking if they remain stable, and are allowed to cool for amount of time larger then the current...

The simplest way i imagine it, imagine that the stopped track becomes an anchoring point, and then imagine the moving track is a moving object, now put a pin on a board, attach a string, and imagine the stopped track is the pin, the string is the actual tank, and the moving track is a pen...

Well, you mean real science, because if it's science fiction, by definition, they are using basically extrapolation at best, and complete ******** at the worst. I realize it's impossible to get some result without cheating, I'm simply trying to bring novel ideas as to the "how" and try and be...

Well, let's be honest, there is no way with any known technology to achieve this kind of power in about any type of engine or motor, or whatever, so I use magic science. The way I envision it, the technology is based on multiple dimension above our common 4, 3d and time, so the whole thing is...

Ok, so let's say I have a weapon that can fire a 2 centimeter diameter rod that is 25 centimeter long at a speed of 1/3 the speed of light, or 100,000,000 meter seconds with a weight of 5kg. I estimate the energy at 2.5 e16 joules, or approximately 6 megatons. Now, my question is complicated...

Exactly my thought on the subject.

Ok, so, the universe then has 20 billion time its mass in floating micro-wave photons? Or is this mass actually taken into account when they measure the mass of the universe?

Briefly into the big bang, matter anti-matter annihilation which lead to an excess of matter that is what is our current universe, left us with roughly 20 billion photon for each proton. From what I understand, the rough scenario is that CP violation meant that for every 10 billion matter...

L.I.S.A. sounds like a good thing to write about, no?

When a massive star dies, you either get a neutron star, or a black hole. From my lecture, neutron star are extremely hot object, with temperature around 10E11 to 10E12 kelvin. I'd assume black hole created from a similar process with just more mass, wouldn't have temperature any lower...

Your first answer left me wondering, because I read that if we follow that premise, then there is no such thing as time before the big bang. Where was I lead wrong?
