If it works, they don’t actually have to know how it works, to use it to make a space drive. They could use old fashioned trial and error until they figure it out.

You get outside Earth’s gravity well, you’re still in the Sun’s gravity well, and you get out of that, you’re still in the galaxy’s gravity well. Maybe we should call Lassie, because we’re all Little Timmy stuck in a well.

You’d be hard pressed to find a place in the universe that is zero G. What we call zero G, is really an orbital speed where centrifugal force equals the force of gravity, thereby keeping the object from crashing into the ground.

Miguel Alcubierre seems to hope it isn’t a warp drive. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t like the idea of a warp drive that won’t risk destroying the universe, or at least killing the passengers and probably everyone at the destination, in the process.

Or they may have discovered something that no one thought of before. If…

There is a very strong possibility that was is causing the force, is not what they think is causing the force. This might be one of those really lucky discoveries of some new phenomenon that cracks physics wide open.

I’m kind of curious about what other wavelengths like X-Rays and Gamma Rays might do using this theory.…

I’m curious why ducted designs aren’t more common. Are low speed turbines preferable for noise reasons?

Call me when he holds the baby up and the baby catches the homer like a boss.

When will the governments of Earth learn to stop building landmarks? They just invite alien invasions.

It’s surprising how many people think someone should be murdered for a minor crime. It’s also surprising that given the number of people in places like Texas where open carry is a right and concealed carry common, that this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often. Most people carrying must be reasonable about almost…

Ha, forgot to mention that in that post. Did it in another one. They’ll have to employ suitable women for their employees to breed with.

Ford might just be saying they aren’t planning to develop a specific high range vehicle. They can put a bigger battery in their Energi series vehicles any time they want. They also might possibly be considering buying Gigafactory batteries, or looking at what Tesla has that is patented to see if any of them are worth…

I can guaranty that the top spec MSRP on the Cruze is set with much dealer profit in it so dealers have room to negotiate to the competition. Whereas Honda dealers aren’t as flexible.

OTOH, a top spec Focus costs a LOT more, and has 350 horsepower and AWD. They don’t even have a version of the Cruze with Focus ST…

If that’s true, IMO the fault would lie with the municipal recycling system.

Cons: the only way you get to move to that city is if you get the right job with an Alphabet company. You can only live there as long as you keep that job. If you lose your job, you get kicked out to live with the rest of the cogs.

No stress about that or anything.

Oh and it would be one party rule. The Libertarian…

So they’re trying to engineer the perfect “company town”. You can only live there if you’re employed by Google, or maybe a consortium of companies, And if you lose your job, and another company from the consortium doesn’t want you, you get kicked out.

This way you can keep your employees in a constant state of fear.…

It won’t be real until banks refuse to loan money on 30 year mortgages in Florida, because the property is unlikely to survive.

And many Floridians will still refuse to believe that global warming is real until it’s their house that gets flooded or washed away.

What will change things, is when huge amounts of wealth…

I use refillable cups with coffee fresh out of the grinder. Not quite lazy, but not as wasteful as making a whole pot when I just want a cup.

The only reason K-Cups aren’t “recycleable” is that the plastic is too inexpensive to be valueable for the companies that purchase recycled plastics. To make the K-Cups…

Is this a system that is mounted on another jet, or is this a 300 mph camera drone?

So it was like trying to find a Fiat 500 in a parking lot full of GMC Yukons and Ford Expeditions?

Not saying he’s not a car guy. Saying among car guys he’s an unlikable douche. Even when compared to Jeremy Clarkson. Interviewing isn’t really the point of the show. What made the original great was the team and the chemistry of the presenters. Everyone in the new show appears to have chemistry but Evans.
