I’m aware of that research, my point that its insulting stands.

Well I can tell you what breaking the conservation of momentum would mean for physics. It would mean we are now GODS. It would mean unlimited energy produced from thin air because we could run non-momentum conserving machines to make a profit in energy and scale them up from there. Engineering the solar system would…
Every theory put forward to explain dark matter so far says yes, its ordinary mass, its just invisible because its not emitting light. Maybe you’re thinking of dark energy.
When you have a finite number of research dollars to allocate, I’m pretty sure I want people funding those whose minds aren’t so open their brains have fallen out. I’m sure there are plenty of quotes of naysayers who were wrong, but they generally weren’t naysaying perpetual motion machines and reactionless drives,…
You’re right, the guys claiming to have built a perpetual motion machine are much better grounded in reality than the ones who have evidence for something they can’t fully explain.
Magic spells and fairies. Almost certainly.
No, you really won’t. If you think warp drives are ever going to be real, then you don’t understand what motion and time are, and could care less about causes preceding effects. You don’t understand what you are saying we are going to do. If such things will ever be possible in the future, they already would have…
You’re making a tone argument because somebody was annoyed at their time being wasted by an affront to Special Relativity and the Conservation of Momentum. We might as well entertain the notion that the thrust is being caused by fairies, lest we be called dogmatic and reactionary.
Incredible claims required incredible…
Why is the big bang considered a viable theory, again? “
They kind of are having to disprove Creationism for the umpteenth time. This thing is either violating the Equivalence Principle or claiming to be a perpetual motion machine. You pick. Telling people that whatever thrust you are measuring is really, really NOT coming from NEW PHYSICS, I’m sure gets old fast.
If the drive is *reactionless* then it can be made into a perpetual motion machine by hooking it to a flywheel and a generator that feeds back to it, because once you achieve a certain acceleration, and yet produce the same amount of thrust for a given input of energy, you are making a profit — or Special Relativity…
Yeah, well the boycott of his dental practice is already in motion. I feel bad for his staff who had nothing to do with his asinine hunting trips, but hopefully they will land with a boss who isn’t an inhuman jackass.
Yes, it boils down to Little Orphan Annie Goes In Search of the MacGuffin.
You did read it right? If you remove the 80s cultural references there’s not much left except a virtual reality treasure hunt - through a completely empty space because you removed all the cultural references.
They can detect alpha if they have an alpha window (looks like a thin membrane on one end of the tube, usually with a metal mesh over it), but plutonium has a pretty low specific activity, so its not shooting off a ton of alpha particles for a given mass (24,000 year half life). A tiny hot particle, weighing at most…
I’m surprised at how little nostalgia I have watching this. I recognize most of the pre-cataclysm landscape, but it doesn’t entice me back at all.
This works equally well for Ready Player One and Armada.
Chlorine might not be potent enough.
Rocky Flats proper is now a nature preserve where you can’t dig into the ground. Downwind of it is another story. Too bad weapons-grade plutonium is a fairly tame alpha emitter and geiger counters are generally worthless for detecting it. Word is though if you want some just collect any dust from under the houses in…
You sound like you want those people around. Personally, I can do without, which is why I am for eliminating all consumer safety regulations (except I believe they generally do their job, which is keep idiots alive). Johnny Bag’o’Glass anyone?
