I was wondering about the way we report red shifts, etc, and that we can see objects traveling away from us, etc...and was taught about the big bang as, well, a big bang...and concluded that we could then calculate where everything was going, and interpolate where they came from, and plot back...

Did you find it on page 1 of this thread, where I posted it? :D It is a great video though. :D

There's stuff used to do this exact concept for ski boots for custom fitment. Find the ski boot stuff, and use that. :D

Yeah, that would be a media issue...but its not visually foggy at least...albeit I'm sure there is plenty of vapor in the air nonetheless. It would need to be a regularly spaced interval of vapor to explain people in Australia and NJ and TX describing the same thing...but no one measured it...

How would that make the beam cross over more than once though? IE: If it had one bright spot in the middle somewhere...I could se that...but what would be happening for the beam to have a spot like that every so many meters, etc?

If it helps, they are developing MEAT (Muscle tissue) that they can grow WITHOUT AN ANIMAL. Essentially just growing the part we eat, and not the rest. It would be akin to Cows bearing fruit, and we just pick the cow berries and eat them...but we don't eat the COW. :D Again, the problem is...

On the other hand, you can start worrying about meteors...which are far more likely to impact us (Far more likely than zero in this case). :D

Its not about the prey species' sentience as much as its about me being a carnivore. I do not think a Lion or a Tiger is evil, or doing anything wrong when it eats a deer or a farmer. They are carnivorous, and evolved to eat meat. If PETA, etc, wants the carnivores all killed to avoid...

For some of the high powered LED lights, the beam seems to have bright and dimmer sections along its length when projected through air. They seem to be regularly spaced rather than random. Some people have described it as looking as though the beam would get thinner and wider along its...

I think its because the torque is applied evenly, and if both sides rotate at the same speed in response to the input, the gear pushes on both sides evenly. If one side rotates faster in response to the torque input (Because that side had less resistance/is slipping, or, is on the outside of a...

You are correct. Off road, the brake based systems tend to at least require programming changes to allow some spin, to "get going". What happens off road for example on systems that have poor programming, is that the truck will just sit there shuddering. Essentially, as soon as some torque is...

Sounds like torque proportioning or distributing might be better then. :D A more torquey engine would also add more available torque to the drive wheel, but would not be considered a traction aid either. Its not increasing traction, its increasing the torque available to use of the any...

Sideways, that's a fantastic discussion, loved it. You are great at explaining things. :D My context for the above is primarily off road based, but I agree with the on road examples as well. As far as my question regarding the proper terminology for off road "Traction"; Do you think...

I re-read the thread. We are saying (Believing) the same thing, I'm just oversimplifying it seems, as the essential differential function seems to be the same. "Coasting" does imply a lack of ANY propulsion, and that's of course inaccurate. On this topic, especially in offroad circles, the...

To clarify what I am trying to understand - The differential is pushing on both sides, but only one of them moves (The one on ice for example). The one that moves can spin as fast as the rotation is being transferred, and the other one doesn't have to move at all. I describe this as the...
