Hey :D This is pretty far fetched but If scientists could predict a cosmic explosion or something similar in the universe... could we not have a space probe near the explosion (not too near obviously) and use the imense force the whip the probe out our solor system and behond?

Ohh, well that's my question answerd lol, thanks :D

Looking at planets... Hi, not sure if this is the right area for such a post but... I was just thinking if the Hubble space telescope can see for millions of light years then why can't it look at stars from other solor systems and search for planets and the look at the planet for life? After...

I'm shocked that granite would just dissolve when mixed with sulphuric acid I thought it would just make it weak so if you dropped it from 50ft it would smash. So what types of steel are the strongest? I am not talking like 2ft block of steel just a 1.5" sheet. Which types of steel would it have...

Well I aint in prison for a start lol I am just curious when I see things on T.V I like to find out if it would really work. Well the sulphuric acid would be 100% pure, the acid is kept in a glass bottle and would it work if I poured it on the same place a few times? When I say poke through it I...

HI, if I put some sulphuric acid on a 1.5" sheet of reinforced steel how long would it take until I could just poke the corroded area and it would go through? Also if I had a 4" sheet of granit and poured it on that would it corrode? And how long would it take? Pretty random question I know...

OK plain and simply, my mate wants to get a job in jet propulsion... 99.9% of the time you would need a degree in physics or extended maths or something... he has none of that, what's the chances of getting an apprentiship with the grades he has?? read my other post for that ...

well I would say that you don't have good academic grades as you can't spell... what I mean is my mate has 5 GCSE's ----english (e) maths (f) science double award (dd) design technology (c) design technology resistant materials (d) Does a career in jet propulsion require the need for...

lol haa72, would someone with crap academic grades be capable of learning something like this or is it hard to understand?

Hi, my mate has just left school and wants a career in jet propulsion or aircraft structure, he lives in plymouth (uk) and don't have any A to C grades... what would you recommend his best route is? and what decent colleges are there that specialize in this sort of thing?

oh, i just remembered my mate told me that light has been slowed down to just 60mph before? true? and once it reached 60 mph when it was finished being slowed down would it resume its normal speed 186,000 miles per second lol, still can't get my head round that, or would it stay at 60 mph?

no, I don't really understand when I read it on the net anyway, well I am going to stop thinking about this sort of stuff now, and hopefully in the next 50 years we will see how much progress we have made with speed and distance travel. Cya malawi glenn and thanks for answer all my q's

ok, malawi glenn id like to thank you for answering all my stupid questions, but i understand a little, just one more question, were does anti-matter and or dark matter exsist? what is it, thanks for you time, ;)
