Your right, this is going nowhere and definitely in the direction I intended. I really do not know what your goals are though I have my suspicions. REBOOT AMAT, antimatter. For those of you just joining, this thread has gotten off the beaten track. To recap, antimatter- Particles with the...

Science fiction often becomes science fact, I think you are confusing the line between pure science fiction and science theory yet unproven directly BUT would work given what we know now. Its cheaper because we view it as cheaper. The cost in pollution and lives is not cheap in my opinion. The...

This thread is meant to explain and discuss why stealth technology does not work in space on the whole, as it does underwater or in Earth like atmosphere via various methods. It will also debunk claims by scifi shows such as that 'powering down' will make you appear as drifting space junk in a...

To firstly respond to Evo, it does have to do with scifi writing, specifically accurate depiction of events and sciences in space as regards to how they would be presented in a book or some such written work whether with scientific accuracy or not, so as to present information to potential...

Those could be considered a payload. You could still detect these however. Granted, it would be more difficult, and it would depend on how they were launched as to the ease of detection. Assuming you want them to reach the target within any reasonable period of time, you need to accelerate...

Yes they are. So I was referencing NASA scientists and engineers, not scifi writers. Seriously? o0) We pay power companies for grid power, which in most places is from coal or natural gas which has to be mined and transported by people who need pay, then the facilities were financed and the...

I was imagining how one could design a newer, more efficient city then the cities we have right now and I came up with a fairly basic design concept that I later Googled and found I was not the first. That concept was that of a snowflake. But why design a new city? Currently modern cities are...

Er, its not Scifi. Antimatter harvesting is a real concept being looked into by NASA. Huh? Neither was owning a car or flight. Now thousands of flights happen everyday and hundreds of millions of cars exist. Robots. Faster, better, easier to keep 'alive'. We build the structure or its...

My main point was, regarding stealth in space is that besides radar there are so many ways to detect a vessel easily that you mineaswell not bother making it undetectable to radar and put your resources into more propellant and/or payload. Its not the authors opinion in the article, besides him...

I started typing all the reasons why I could remember, but it would save me about an hour of typing just to post this article I found instead. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacewardetect.php

Sorry, stealth in space is impossible without' magic' technology.

Well its not generic fusion. Actually there are concepts to collect the generated antimatter in magnetic belts, mag scoops. Good thing the suns got a lot of free power being emitted constantly huh? UNLEASH THE POWER OF THE SUN Our technology will also advance, we can bet generating amat...

Assuming all we know about the universe is correct in any case, which is all we can work with its true, BUT this is small potatoes. Just take out the 'massless' part. Actually, I do not think they are 'massless' at all, just with no mass worth mentioning is what they mean. Mhm. IDK if its a...

Actually not really, if you take the time to read and study the articles they are quite interesting. Many devices and aspects of science started out as theories, which could be classified as fictions until proven true. Containing anti matter, for instance anti protons, is actually fairly...

Yup, in atmosphere, lasers and particle beams lose energy over distance as they ionize the air. In vacuum, lasers dominate for long range combat. In atmosphere, near infrared and visible spectrum are best, well shorter wavelengths are especially absorbed. Under water, green is best I do believe...
