If we could travel at 186,000 miles per second the Earth would continue to rotate and time would pass there at its same rate. Time would pass for us on board ship at the same rate as on earth. the only difference is that our view of the planets timeframe wouldn't change as we would be viewing the re...

DEATH OF A COMET
In the LASCO C3 and LASCO C2 for 11-13/11-14-05 there is a disappearing comet that's on its final orbit of the sun. You see it in enter the occulting disk area in the "C3" mpeg for 11-14-05 but it doesn't exit. If you look at the "C2" mpeg file, you also see it enter the frame th...

Consider this, Jupiter would just fit between Earth and the Moon. If either of the gas giants were the moons distance away, (and we were moving fast enough for a stable orbit), they would fill the field of view. If saturn were placed between the Earth and Moon, the ring system would disappear in one...

As these are driven by pressure caused by the explosion of the host star, I would imagine that they would dissipate over time much like the ripples of a rock in a pond do. I wonder if radio waves diminish over time and space? It might be interesting to send a probe out with an ear toward earth and h...

Fortunately, it is only the interpretation of a theory that dictates faster than light travel to be impossible. It is my personal belief that we will one day conquer that threshold, though not in my lifetime. I used to think that only light was ruled by that speed but several published experiments d...

Perhaps they could use a certain thickness of transparent aluminum for the windows for even better protection.
Transparent Aluminum? That is the molecule that Scotty used to barter the 6" thick plexiglass in Star Trek 4.

Well Science mimics art.

What gets me, is that we did not design the shuttle's external fuel tank to be taken on up into orbit. How many would we have up by now? What kinds of industry(s) might be attempted in those spaces? If they did keep a tank, they could use it at the ISS to store and remove garbage. This could then b...

The sun though only has 1 solar mass of gravity pulling on t...
