I think the most plausible observation to be seen would be that there's a sudden burst of light, as the image of the ship suddenly appears with a blue-shifted after-image diverging away from it back along it's former approach path--this could have some gamma or Xray burst accompanying it...

I grew up with Star Trek (and the Alcubierre warp drive is a outflow of that kind of thinking to could allow such type of travel to be possible). One point that was made on Star Trek was that they also had an FTL comms system. Even so, they had constant problems with their ship's clocks--thus...

The two main comic companies, DC & Marvel each have a plethora of characters with similar powers, especially those with many various electrically based abilities. Some can generate and send only a DC type charge, and some with AC abilities. Either have been able to cast directed lightning...

Thanks for your reply, MFB. To be honest, I don't know if the changes would necessarily cause the concept of "point-mass" to no longer have validity. Certainly, the equations for Force of Gravity would have to be changed to account for the higher distance dimension in an Altered G constant...

That's such a cute story! Thanks for sharing :biggrin:

I was helping someone with his fanfiction where a system didn't have the same gravitational constant that exists within the rest of the universe.There was a throw-away line given by Q on the Star Trek episode, "Deja Q", where Q was asked how would he fix the problem of a moon falling out of...

I think you misread or maybe the title of the article is misleading. It goes on to state: "It is important to keep in mind however that the orbits themselves aren’t patented, technological solutions for providing telecommunications which utilize equipment in those orbits are patent eligible."...

I'm pretty much in awe, as ZapperZ is. Back in the 1960's, when I was growing up, the normal trend for any spinoffs was for the cast for the new and old shows would make an appearance together - once - then never see each other or be mentioned again. Archie Bunker had several spinoffs, and I...

In that case, it definitely would be less than or equal to 0. Although, in a strickly mathematical and logical sense, it would be actually less than or equal to 1, which I suspect, puts either back in the same usefulness as Drakkith's answer above ;)

Yeah, the nanotech sounds like a good idea for what the OP wants it to do—doing too much yet arbitrarily limited requires something that can be programmed

you woundn't happen to have recordings of them all, do you?--garbageloads of the episodes from Hartnell & Troughton got wiped out due to neglect on BBC's part. Now, they're trying to recover anything folks may have (illegally--back then) recorded so they can recreate the missing years. Loise...

Is the word you're looking for perhaps, "maybe"? We've seen Wolvie's claws get pretty heated with the same type of optic blast that Scott Summers uses. And lightsabers have been seen to need time to cut through blast doors, so adamantium should be at least as resistance as they are, if not...

Good article about Quark stars: http://www.nanowerk.com/news2/space/newsid=31543.php of course, the title instantly makes me think, "Piccard would not approve!" :biggrin:

I just looked at the wiki about CP. Some of it seems problematic. The experiments involving Co60, for instance, only exists for matter, as there're no samples of antimatter Co to work from. There is evidence of Neutral Kaons & B mesons to support some sort of violation, but it's unclear if they...

The problem I see with the currently accepted theory is that matter is somehow “inherently superior" to antimatter, which violates CP. And the efforts to explain how it doesn’t violate CP seem convoluted and contrived. I've often wondered about if the large scale voids, between galactic...
