Not to rain on y’all’s parade, but we’re talking a proposed one one-thousandth of a G here — a 200 lb man would weight just 1/4 pound under full acceleration. That’s assuming the ship is nothing by a 90-ton nuclear reactor and this thruster. Add a habitat and some people and it will barely move.

“Ensign, engage warp…

I thought it was blindingly obvious that Coldhands is Bran The Builder. If I recall correctly there were hints in this direction.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Empire only has two Force-using beings — the Sith Lord and his apprentice. I can't see these two appreciably changing the course of a battle with the Star Trek universe.

The Rebel Alliance has (or had) tons of Force-using Jedi warriors. But we're not talking about Star Trek versus the…

For the same reason a submarine can't fly: at a certain elevation there's no longer enough water for the sub's systems to work with. As Darklighter said, a plane flies by working with air. When you run out of air, there's no more flying, and you need a different system.

A rocket doesn't need air. A rocket is…

Well-established asteroid belt mining corporation vs the Earth. No FTL drive, no new physics. What would the battle look like?

My guess is mostly "boring."

Why the heck is this streamlined? Are they planning on taking this into an atmosphere?

This doesn't make a lot of sense. A more realistic shape would be a simple cigar with the rings integrated.

Because believing something *may* exist is not the same thing as belief it does exist. It's another form of a lack of belief; it's just one that holds out for later evidence.

If you are not a theist — that is, if you do not believe that a personal, present, and interventionist God — then you are by definition "without…

Are you agnostic about Santa Claus? Or the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Or Harry Potter's actual physical existence as a person? If not, then why are you agnostic about Yahweh, another character is a storybook?

Agnosticism about made-up characters seems absurd.

Oddly enough I think this is right.

The contact patch size is roughly the weight of the car divided by the tire PSI. A 4000 lb car will have a 133 square inch contact patch. If you then take the weight of the car and divide it by the contact patch size you end up back at 30 PSI.

Similarly a 4000 lb car with 40 psi…

Sure. Like fingers. Totally special accessories.

Wait... is that a White Hero with a Chick Sidekick and Minority Sidekick! Good gods, man, how original.

Not a clone exactly, but close. More like a half-twin, because the alleles you carry from your two parents would be randomly shuffled again when you self-fertilized, your offspring would be halfway between a regular sibling and an identical twin.
