Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All?
DrStrabismus writes "PhysOrg has a story about research that may indicate that close to light speed travel is possible. From the article: 'New antigravity solution will enable space travel near speed of light by the end of this century, he predicts. On Tuesday, Feb. 14, noted physicist Dr. Franklin Felber will present his new exact solution of Einstein's 90-year-old gravitational field equation to the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque. The solution is the first that accounts for masses moving near the speed of light.'"
It's the stopping that makes them weapons.
Interesting. I feel like I won the lottery last month, and am currently boning a supermodel. Oddly enough, those feelings seem to have no effect on reality as observed by everyone else.
I'm waaaaay tired of people who can't see the distinction between not knowing absolutely everything and not knowing anything. Take the time off to do the math & prove me wrong, and you can tell the world how full of shit I was during your acceptance speech for the Nobel.
blah blah, etc, etc
and one last thing, I'd just like to say Anonymous Coward from slashdot, You were so full of shit!
Nah, can't see it happening.
What could be better than a jet powered motorcycle? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8l6GTHLSWE
Errr, no. It takes _light_ 4.3 years to cover that distance. At near light speeds, you are going to exceed that time.
Think about it.
I can throw myself at the ground, and miss.
