Dang! I never realized how much Gene Simmons looks like a younger Ricardo Mantlbon.

Welp, now I know what I want for my birthday this year!

Well, that's it then. We don't have to worry about the Robot Uprising.

Heck "Scandinavian Doomsday" is a GREAT name for a Viking Speed Metal band!

Ok,

If you could find a 3d sectional map of the Bootes Void from the 3d universe maps being generated, it might give a better idea i=of the distribution of the few galaxies within the Void, and possibly, some clues as to what is actually causing it.

I can't say for certain, and anything I came up with would be mostly speculation, but it is possible tht the Bootes Void may not exist in the conventional sense. The physics are a bit weird, but it MAY be an area of 'inverse compressed space' where the actual volume is much smaller than the observed volume. Whereas…

As a male, I have to admit to some truth about the male behavior of many of us. Unfortunately, I must admit to such behavior myself. But in general, I figure any kind of relationship involves becoming friends first, and letting things progress at their own pace from there.

Two words dude... Terror Bird.

If they're made the 'always online' thing an option instead of a requirement, I MIGHT have given it a shot, but after reading this mess, I'm glad I didn't.

Redgardless of what anyone says, compared to today, living in either the Holy Roman Empire or the Middle Ages SUCKED big time!

That's a point. However, when it shed the blades, isn't that supposedto shut down the system? (As they are using turbone engines, a cascade failure would occure otherwise, possibley causing ejection of the turbine rotor blades, which would be a REALLY bad thing!) If not, it maybe just a matter of replacing the…

Eh, its' an Army helicopter. They'd give it a good going over and repair what's needed then either airlift it out with another copter, or slap some rotors on it and fly it out.

Hmmm... Rolling it in the snow like that? as long as it didn't hit any rocks, slap a new set of rotors on that beast and fly that puppy back out of there!

I think part of my problem with the senerio that you outline is that it seems that it is based upon the craft iteslf going FTL. In this case, it is Space itself that is being distorted. As such, it would seem that time for both the reference observer and time for the people on the craft should flow at the same rate.

If you think of Dolphins, Killer Whales, Blue Whales, and anything else in the sea as Tuna, yeah, sure! He eats tuna...

Kill Godzilla? Geez! This one's so huge, I doubt that a Nuke would do much more than give him a mild suntan!

More like punt him like a foot ball.

So, essentially, what you are saying is that regardless of the velocity, there exists a frame of reference where the traveller arrives at their destinationbefore they actually left their starting point? This, on the face of it, seems counterintuitive.

Your argument, though persuasive, is based upon a somewhat incomplete understanding of the mechanics involved here.
