    If needs for work where removed, would our society stagnate?

    Okay I’m a huge fan of the Warhammer 40.000 universe. But there´s one species I would like to discuss The Eldar, because I would ask if something like that could potentially happen to our own species in time. We will start by ignoring the part where they basically created a god that eats their...

    Any Peer reviewed journals on FTL flight?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGj5rlOaTIg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL2gmEVZP44 According to this episode FTL flight is actually possible in theory without breaking the laws of physics. But i was wondering has there been any Peer reviewed Journals released around this theory or is this...

    Qustion about pictures from other planets and moons?

    My question is simple why are they always black and white? Is it because of the signal strength or some other reason that makes it impossible or impractical of taking colored photos??

    Smart people rejecting science

    The big bang is an excellent example of things that has been misunderstood by normal people several times. Let's play out a debate between a scientist and a creationist with an audience who doesn't know first thing about science: the topic the origin of the universe. The scientist: the...

    Smart people rejecting science

    One thing scientists and nerds has in common is that often unintentionally they speak a language that goes above the heads of normal people. That its the same language crackpots often use doesn,´t exactly make the problem any lesser. Like when trying to explain how the thing in the Matrix might...

    Tech curently in devlopment that will allow us to visitpluto

    Re: Tech curently in devlopment that will allow us to visitp I think a Solar sail might help here. Use it to pick up speed or decelerate might help save some of the fuel so you slow down enough to achieve orbit around Pluto.

    Screw science and pay for the wedding!

    Yes you really got to ask yourself which is more important: Scientific discoveries that can end up saving human lives and over all benefit mankind in the near future or a big royal wedding that although it has a huge media coverage doesn,´t really benefit anyone except for the people getting...

    Screw science and pay for the wedding!

    Cutting off fonds is NEVER easy as the caller pointed out you give money to something you take it from somewhere else. I would say it priority with science and scientist have to save money too no matter how much they don,´t want too. While i agree that science is important, i would say not all...

    Creating an infinite oxygen tank?

    I think a saw a similar experiment conducted by NASA (on national geographic channel) and this was for a week or so the guy that was locked inside made all the similar daily exercises that astronauts in space makes. He wasn,´t allowed to use any deodorants at all as the chemicals in it could be...

    Re: Tech curently in devlopment that will allow us to visitp We,´re talking manned missions of course what,´s the fun in sending robots and satellites out there, we can do that now (more or less) no i would say if mankind is to spend the amount of money sending a ship to Pluto and beyond it...

    Tech curently in devlopment that will allow us to visitpluto

    Okay which of all the currently in development propulsion engines would have the ability to take us from low earth orbit to Pluto in a reasonable time? From what i,´ve heard the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket might actually have the ability to do it, if it would be able to cut...

    Creating an infinite oxygen tank?

    It could be used on space stations. I can,´t remember the exact series i think it was called Escape From Jupiter, where the crew to escape one of Jupiter's moons used an old space station to try and get back to earth. To supply them with oxygen they used algae in a giant tank of water placed in...

    Creating an infinite oxygen tank?

    I don,´t know how long the current oxygen tanks in the space suits last, but i guess they won,´t last indefinitely sooner or later you will run out of oxygen and unless your back in your ship by then well then your screwed. What i am wondering about is this, would it be possible to create an...

    Fusing TV and streaming/internet could or should it be done?

    Re: Fusing TV and streaming/internet could or should it be d Okay maybe i didn,´t formulate it correctly. Supposedly you want to see the season finally of Doctor Who, Fringe, Mythbusters or whatever. Well to see that you have to tune in on Discovery channel or some other channel that host the...

    Ring of probes to get better photos

    When i look at pictures from Pluto they are EXTREMELY blurry and not nearly as sharp as those from Mars, though when thinking on how long the signal with the pictures have to travel a little blurriness is to be expected. My question is when sending a probe to the outer solar system why only...

    Material Science VS Exploration Science

    Yes that could have been formulated better but i didn,´t know what else to call it. It wouldn,´t be a bad thing to do both and i don,´t know maybe we do. Yet the things that hit the new is often water discovered on Mars second moon theory might explain the difference in the front and back side...
