New concepts like the Casimir Drive and Gravity Drives are the next big thing. Also ideas like warping space to lower the mass of the ship inside a bubble or space/time.

If these plans and the look of NASA's proposed warp ship don't get your blood pumping, you're probably a sad stay-at-home greens supporter who's afraid to turn on a light switch and who probably wishes "Earth Hour" would go on weekly to make us feel ashamed to live in a modern technological society...

Just look at that damn thing!! And better yet, she's got the right name...


It's got a few problems at the moment of course...exotic new materials will be needed for the rings and other parts...and that's where particle accelerators like CERN step in and show why we need those massive machines and how space science is linked to a huge underground complex in Europe.

Yes I thought my school teachers were correct in their bagging the RCC position but I found out that them poor fools lacked depth of the true facts, but never let a good story get in the way of the truth. I think the word is called Bastards, that come out trying to slander the truth and putting forward nonsense, brainwashing all they can with lies and half truths.

Your first paragraph says it all.
A church that worships and believes in fairys in the sky wants things 'proven as fact'

I honestly don't believe we as a race are mature enough to discover life on another planet. I can only imagine the race to claim ownership of the planet. We can't even manage our own planet properly, I hope for the sake of what ever is out there we don't find them.

So if we could travel to Mars at a squillion miles per hour, what sort of trouble would space debris or small bits of junk present?

Total destruction if no measures are put in place. Any form of space debris will punch holes through the hull at those sorts of velocities. Some of the ideas beimg mooted are enveloping the craft in an electrostatic field to deflect away the smaller particles.

What if they have a policy to "Turn back the rockets"?

[DBourne]

I think this stuff is insanely fascinating..

Personally I wish that more resources were dedicated to this stuff, rather than trying to impart "freedom" on certain parts of the world.

This will inspire a whole new generation of kids to get in to the sciences and with any luck uncover a whole new raft of knowledge in the not too distant future.

It just blows my mind how they can figure this stuff out.. Then again, I got a D in year 10 science, so I think I'm just easily pleased.

Off topic, but that is not as silly as it seems. In early modern Europe, around the time that witches were being executed, many proponents of the emerging field of science were also demonologists who explained how the Devil's power was achieved through scientific means.

The Church were also least likely to execute someone accused of witchcraft and demanded more stringent evidence of it than the more blood thirsty secular courts of the day...

It's true that Dilettantes are everywhere and when trying to find out things in depth that's the hard part, as a lot of influence is out their that can mislead or people are just mainly too lazy at bothering looking into it all.

Blind faith in anything is just rubbish.

Why do people just swallow nonsense all the time ?
Just look around you everyday and we are bombarded with it 24/7 with everything.

They'll need to fit one of these to the front

There's always one

Great discussion, even if we do get a little off track.
The discovery of the Higgs boson is a big leap. The field that gives matter mass.
Understanding that field may lead to ways of manipulating it, just as we do with electricity/magnetism. The possibilities are endless.

Some of our technology we take for granted these days was nothing more than science fiction not that long ago, your criticism lacks credibility.

The official church doctrine was to spit instead?

If the water on Mars is indeed salty, where did the salt come from? Doesn't a planet need flowing rivers and large seas to make salt?

I thought the salt entered the water by dissolving as it ran over rocks and land.

Mars has lots of rocks!

Maybe it was simply a large pool of sweat from an Alien out on his early morning jog, this had pooled up when he stopped for a few minutes to answer an incoming call from his mobile phone. That would explain the salt I wouldn't be surprised if the media has again blown yet another story way out of proportion but on the other hand it could also be a Government cover up so as not to create panic amongst the people on earth.

No one would believe that for countless years human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space.

No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Few people even consider the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regard this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they're drawing their plans against us.

OOOOOLLLAAAHHHHH


This should bring this thread back on track

Where is the criticism in that post.

Even the village idiot knows that some of the tec we take for granted nowadays was as you say.

I am not a Roman Catholic but I do know what there official positions are all about, so I am not ignorant of the facts.
But I once was misled by just ignorant fools who claim to know it all in a State School education.

One of these with a few small modifications should easily make the journey, it's all in the name

I'll be happy to debate this topic in another thread if you want to start one Castellan. This one is about Mars and associated concepts...

If this discovery had been made 15 yrs ago we could have used the:

wait for it:

the: Millennium AU Falcon

[XG_Falcon]

I doubt humans would be sending rockets into space if it hadn't been for scientists like Wernher von Braun. It just makes me think what mankind could do if we focused our effort on furthering knowledge rather than waging war.

[superyob]

Unfortunately XG Falcon, war is the catalyst for extreme technological advancement...

you seem to go way off topic and making similar statements in lots of thread on here. Not sure why or even what you're on about as it's so vague

[Madaya]

C'mon folks. Let's not spoil the topic.
