Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 So, if it's true that light can only reach light speed, then I wonder how this impacts space travel. And, I'm wondering if these guys will be the ones who discover new ways to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The big bang created everything that exists today, including black holes. But listen I just think its an experiment I dont believe anything other than the advancement of humankind knowledge will come from it. That's what Einstein said about fusion.

1VB_SARmedic Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I was in the USN nuclear power field, and unless they really fook something up, no worries. Edited February 11, 2010 by 1VB_SARmedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicSN6 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I've got my Flux Capacitor tuned in just right, now if only I had some type of machine that could get me to 88mph, then I'd be set. Ideas? Edited February 11, 2010 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think your example would be closer to fission than fusion. I always think of fusion as clean and fission as dirty (Taco Bell + alcohol) definitely create loud and malodorous reactions, consequently fission.

custard~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Professor Custard, excellent information. In November last year a collision energy of 2.36 Tev was achieved, the LHC can achieve 7 Tev (3.5Tev per particle beam) [Edit It is designed to achieve 7 Tev per beam] Ahem The energy you are refering to is the energy used by the eletromagnets to accelerate the particle beams and also to stear and focus them the energy I was refering to is the energy created at the collision. I wouldn't want to pay there electric bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it is, it is destructive to man and doesn't even work for peaceful energy use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Professor, Caveat - everything I write here is based on reading the internet and utilising my 6 O - levels to interpret. everything I have read states that the previous record has been broken twice, once at 1.18 (in Nov 2009) and once at 2.36 in (Dec 200). I am sure they were collision energies. My impression is that the energies they are referring to are beam energies (probably the limits that the magnets are capable of steering as opposed to the energy they consume). My research though is not as good as being enlightened by someone who know what he is talking about, my brain has practically melted from reading this stuff.

Stang~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 You Guys with all your fancy smancy talk...next thing you'll be telling me is that "there is no Flux Capacitors, Warp Drive Engines or Teleporters", which I know is BS because I saw them work at the movies know they're real...it just the CIA doesn't want us to have them yet! Lets see that LHC thingy go back in time! Huh...can it do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Actually........................ The whole idea of the LHC is to look back in time not by going back but by recreating the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 If ever the world is to discover ways of living up to the dreams of science fiction it will be these guys or people like them that will achieve it. One of the great things about this forum is that I get to learn a lot of new things, as when someone refers to something I often read up on it to better understand it. I am therefore enriched by the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I beleve Albert said that time will slow down as one aproches the speed of light. Thats 186,000 miles per second. Then time would stop @ the speed of light. Then go backwards as one serpasses the speed of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Q said, "I can go where ever I want, when ever I want." However this is only placed into perspective by what Sammy Hagar said, which was "I can't drive 55!" Therefore, while limitations exist in reality, in fiction, they do not. What we need to figure out is how to meld fictional reality and real reality together. Eistein who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Of course Medic you are right, but I like to think that anything that is in the realm of a thoughtful persons imagination may be attainable. Science fiction often tries to create a reasonable estimation of the future based on extrapolation of current trends. Science fantasy obviously does not. Q, whilst entertaining represents the fantasy in Star Trek. But when one looks at the works of H.G Wells and Jules Verne much of their imagined world is our reality. Who knows what the future holds. Anyway I prefer to think of a cheery future where we can visit strange new worlds than spend too much time thinking about the recession, financial crises and global misery of which I am reminded everytime I turn on the television.
