if I get it, I have at least a week to try it.

I know you'd come back around lol

Three more days!

This weekend is gonna be the best movie weekend ever! "Unstoppable", and my reason for posting this over here is for "Skyline". I'm so excited about seeing that movie.

I hate myself...I got CoD and love it.

@msgwyn...I saw you playing Fable the other night...if I wasn't so bizzy playing CoD, I woulda did a co-op with you...next time u are on we gotta try it.

Oooo please say you're a PS3 person!!!??? I don't do much online but thats the main reason I'm getting Brotherhood.

Black Ops will probably be gotten at some point unfortunately.

Watching Star Wars IV for the umptheenth time - *sigh* gotta love this

cheerfulgreek · #8 11-10-2010, 09:37 PM

okay, I've come to a conclusion. (Oh, and I got my cable back today) It's almost time for my board exam, so what the heck, why not get it turned back on. I think I was disciplined enough to do without it for so long while I was in school.

But back to my conclusion. I was watching a documentary about UFOs, and I don't understand why people believe that aliens are visiting this planet. Oh, and then they're saying that some people think they have the ability to travel at the speed of light.

And I'm assuming that the speed of light remains the ultimate speed limit, despite the appeal of Star Trek. I mean, even though I'm excited about seeing Skyline this weekend, I know something like that would never happen. Space is too vast, plus what people don't get is the faster someone travels, the more mass they acquire. Like, if you're at rest on Earth, then your mass is what you would measure it to be based on your weight. How can a ship travel at the speed of light? I just can't see how, because if we wanted to travel at the speed of light, it would take rockets of mind-boggling power to accelerate a reasonably sized interstellar spacecraft to even 10% the speed of light. If anything, since their mass would rise so dramatically just like anything else, I'd say at the most, (if they have the technology people think they have) they wouldn't be able to travel at anymore than about 1% of the speed of light. Not with that much mass build up. Uh uh, no way.

The Large Hadron Collider is possibly the scariest and most awesome/intriguing thing I've ever learned of.

What if our solar system had formed elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy...like closer to the center? Hmmm....

Actually CG there are some interesting theories that might permit apparent superluminal travel, if not in fact.

Such as?

Epic Mickey today!!!

I really shouldn't. Especially since Cataclysm comes out next week but it soooooooo tempting. I've been looking forward to this game for a while now and its here. The fiance already said she wasn't getting me video games as a gift

so I may just have to bite the bullet even though she has my Wii lol

Of course there is the old standard of the wormhole. But there is something also known as the Alcubierre drive which is fairly similar to ST style warp.

Vito, those are really good points, but do you think alternate universes are really possible? I was just saying that I don't believe aliens are visiting Earth via "speed". A wormhole is a possibility. I know this is going to sound kind of crazy, but I dunno. I mean, no matter how we move an object in space, it would have to move in three dimensions, based on common sense.. "length, width, and height coordinates. If you think about it, with these three numbers, we can actually locate pretty much any object in the universe. But a wormhole, would be some kind of fourth dimension. What I'm saying is nowhere in our universe (that we can see) do we see objects suddenly disappearing or drifting off into another universe. I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't possible, it's just that to me, if something like this exist at all, it would have to be smaller than an atom. Warp drive seems like it could be a possibility if we use quantum theory. But I don't see the possibility if we use Einstein's theory of special relativity, which is based on speed vs mass.
