Which Scientific Law do you wish you could break ?
All the bad nasty laws saying why SW or ST(Especial ST some days ) that they can't work
Which law do you wish was not around/Could be broken
Mine is probably the Lasers go on forever one with it
Aww no lightsabers
Without it
Imagin how quick yardwork would be?

Depends...if entire laws weren't around, and never had been, we wouldn't notice too much because we wouldn't know about them...if they all of the sudden disappeared, we'd be fucked...but if I had the ability to break one, and the ability to control that ability...then that would be nice. And I'd probably choose the conservation of energy...the ability to create and/or destroy energy would be sweet. But only if I was the only one who had it; otherwise we'd be a race of battling superm...wait, that'd be awesome too.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

I think the worst scientific law ever is E=MC2, myself. It's just so terribly limitating ! How are we supposed to get anywhere if we can't go beyond the speed of light ?

I'd rather counteract the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Life would be a hell of a lot easier then, and GR wouldn't be as big a pain in the ass.

I'd like to be able to change E=MC^2 as required. Like reversing it to M=EC^2, so I can form my own personal Acclamator transport out of a few joules. Or make a pesky nuke smuggled in by a terrorist go off like a wet firecracker.

I always Favored the galaxy breaks em both idea
IE go back and kill your father you BOTH wink out of exstance, OR compesates
So you got a diffrant father, Or Mom,
So unless you went on a genocidal ramage back in the past and killed ALL memebers of your species no problems
If problems revert to number one

I favour an interpretation where time changes don't occur instantly, but rather follow the same speed as normal events. That takes care of most paradoxes elegantly, and doesn't involve any added complexity.

Re: Which Scientific Law do you wish you could break ?
I think in the case of this Board (and lets face it, every person on the planet) is that we would want a set of Laws to be bent to our personal gain rather than for the entirety of the Universe. So that we could be a Superman/Jedi/Unstoppable love Machine without any other competitors.Mr Bean wrote:All the bad nasty laws saying why SW or ST(Especial ST some days ) that they can't work
Which law do you wish was not around/Could be broken
So in light of that i want whatever laws are stopping me from having Superpowers to be repealed, Dammit i want to fly and I want to fly now!
