Of course it gets absurd when you have ships that would affect the climate below due to their gravitational pull.

Yeah my uni (Nottingham) does them.

This is a mix. On one hand, the safety measures worked. On the other, an accident caused a bomb to arm. That's ridiculous.

Same way the SAS was revealed to the world when the worlds cameras are on a building you spot special forces.

Yes Christianity which asks us to stone a significant number of the population is responsible for 21st century ethics. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Then you are an ignoramus. Do you have any idea how philosophy or science works? Read Plato or Aristotle sometime. Neither of these guy...

Yes Christianity which asks us to stone a significant number of the population is responsible for 21st century ethics. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The only time Jesus ever mentions stoning is to discourage a group of men from stoning an adulterous woman. Yet at several points he su...

It's strange how stupid the admin can be at a learned institution. I hope the rapist is caught and punished and that the victim(s) can recover mentally.

BRAINS....MUST ENRICH YOUR BRAINS!!!!


Well, he wouldn't be a scary zombie.

No need, just use the Tardis.

Probably never, I doubt his health is up to it. But maybe he could appear if they film his part in the next year or so. Also is he a Doctor Who fan?

And who would you rather take over?

I agree but I do think it's important for those people to be targeted we need more scientists.


As for him not being an astronomer, he may not have conducted original research in the field but he would have learnt a lot of Astro at undergrad.


What do you mean take over Attenborough?

Well you can only make a programme for the layman so complicated.

That seems like petty jealousy.



Not the last bit I have never heard of him doing anything like that.

Why? What about him?

Yeah but aside from perhaps Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox is the face of British physics to the British public.

Oh yeah, as I said it would be difficult (understatement of they year? Lol) but if you could do it you don't have to worry that it would almost certainly be intercepted.

I have seen a few theoretical suggestions for suspended animation but no practical ones anytime soon.

This is why if your going to fire a weapon across lightyears it should be a laser or related weapon. Obviousely to make a laser powerful enough has it's own challenges but at least there would be no early warning.

Also what do you mean treated it as a Newtonian problem? I have not once used any Newtonian equations or thought processes. As I SPECIFICALLY mentioned that after 50% C Newtonian equations of motion can't be used hence the only equations I have mentioned were relativistic. Also if you read the threa...

The equation Jerry the Vampire posted is actually wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mechanics#Force The correct derivation introduces the mass correction in the equation F = dp/dt. The basic conclusion is that your question is not correctly formulated. The acceleration produced by a ...

Thanks I hope to be able to contribute in the future to all manners of things on here.

Sorry Broomstick my entire knowledge of you was from this thread and as such I had to use what was here to work it out.

Yes we had better wait for her to answer that. I didn't mean to imply that because she struggled with pen and paper arithmetic she doesn't know Newtonian Physics. But from what I can tell she only has a secondary school level maths background which usually covers only basic mechanics. Also, I haven'...
