Interstellar travel by dark...
Published (2009-11-29 01:18:00)
The biggest problem here is that no-one has the faintest idea how to interact with dark matter, to permit that form of starship, or with black holes, no-one has the faintest idea of how to manufacture or discover a mini black hole, or how to handle it once available. Whether these ideas ever reach practical fruition is a matter of speculation, but I cannot see anything happening for a hell of a long time.

A Living Death for 23 Years
Published (2009-11-25 07:20:00)
This is one of those stories that I find truly frightening; a man who was fully conscious for 23 years but who was thought to be brain dead. Completely paralyzed, he was unable to communicate with those around him but was fully aware of everything that was going on. Device helps man awaken from 23 years of silent 'screams'

Climategate? - Page 3 - Science...
Published (2009-11-24 18:47:00)
Except that I completely agree with Vladd67 about it being a sloppy headline for a journalist. Unfortunately it has now become the de rigour expression for the email leak event. I expect that a Google search for "climategate" brings him up as number one and a few days ago also brought us up on the first page, whereas now we are several pages down.

New Large Planet?

Thanks for posting this, mosaix. I've never heard about the possibility of a planemojo that far out. To state the obvious, 25,000 is a very long way. (Sedna, for instance, is less than 100 AUs from the sun.) I did laugh at this wording, though: Quote: A whole range of objects never seen before could soon reveal themselves to a telescope with night vision. It's great to hear that astronomers will be able to examine the stars at night...

Um, any-one trying to patent variations on 'Tame Black Hole Rocketry' may be referred to Charles Sheffield's McAndrew Chronicles... FWIW, I'm not happy about invoking immense amounts of 'Dark Matter' like a 'modern aether'. I recently read in New Scientist (1000mph car issue) that a nearby intra-galactic gas cloud probably has ~100 times more mass than previously thought... Smith's Cloud -...

Teens Love to be Miserable

Interesting stuff, Drachir. I wonder, though, if it might be a bit more positive than the article asserts? Like you, I haven't been a teen for a long, long while. Still, in thinking back, I remember the teen years the time that I first developed any sense of social consciousness and conscience. Wars, famines, birth defects -- all that kind of thing first made an impression on me at that age. Intentionally inducing unhappiness? I...

Climategate?
Published (2009-11-22 16:29:00)
That's a rather broad definition of the term. We aren't introducing carbon dioxide, anyway, and it's possible for any substance to exist in excess (pure oxygen, for example, is fatal).

Absolutely. Dogma in everyday life is frustrating enough. Dogma in science is a cardinal sin (so to speak). Unfortunately, the history of science is littered with examples like this, where proponents of one theory, or one scientific discipline, develop a very 'unscientific' attachment to their ideas, and engage in vitriolic squabbles with their rivals that often descend to the level of ad hominem. The scientific method is honest and...

Right, you've told me how to get the em vee squared – the energy – what do I do to get the mv - the conservation of momentum, the reaction mass thrown back along the path you're accelerating along?

It does not surprise me that, out of literally thousands of emails, the odd one has a comment that can look bad when taken out of context. However, it does not change the science. If you carefully study 61 megabytes of anyone's files, you will find a few bits and pieces that can be made to look bad. I have always been a bit sceptical of some aspects of climate change ideology.

I see where you're going with this, Drachir, and while I'm not paranoid about it on a Terminator or Matrix level, nonetheless one does have to wonder just how far technology is going to go, and what it will be capable of by the time the human race gets into a near-apocalyptic situation.....

I did enjoy this, although they missed out a few chapters. What was really impressive is the way that Darwin's mistakes, small and insignificant as they might be, have been removed or disporved from the theory with advances in genetics and the like. People say that evolution is no longer a theory, it is a law. In any system that has reproduction, random mutation and adaptive survival then ...
