  1. Airplane + Zeppelin = Hybrid Airship on 'Pocket Airports' Would Link Neighborhoods By Air · · Score: 1

    We couldnt use this?:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_airship

    Is a merge between a airplane and a zeppelin.

    If it stop working, just fall (not too fast) to the ground , but dont catastrophically crash.

    It dont go fast and can get moderately big payloads.

    And if it have some sort of vectorial thrust, probably it can do vertical lift-of

  2. Re:Some Issues with the Tech on Human Tests of Mind-Controlled Artificial Arm To Begin · · Score: 0

    if the implants get rejected...well...i have a question: there is no way to enginner some kind of implant cover (like a skin) made of the same cells as the patient, but with some kind of layer (may be fat), so the body dont feel like it like a stranger.

    Or may be, the sensor can be made of some kind of artificially made neuron made from a cultive of the patient.

    Or have a network of progressively more hardware, less wetware, so, near the sensors, is pure wetware, and near the computer interface is pure hardware.

    Ahh the coffee is making me thinking weird things...

    what happen if we encapsulate the plastic in permeable bags of some water resistant material (so it dont drift and dont disperse), agregate the bags in big clusters and let it clean the water of toxins. At the end, collect the plastic, remove the toxins and reuse it.

  5. why? on Court Orders Man's Body Exhumed To Cut Off His Head · · Score: 0

  8. Frame reference Independence? = Black Hole Probe? on Theoretical Breakthrough For Quantum Cryptography · · Score: 0

    I have a question:
    If this arrangement enables the two sets of particles to see the state of the other ones with no interference of the frame or reference...
    what will happen if i drop a pair of those ones in a black hole?
    the remaining pair...what will measure? a ever increase rate of information? or what?

  15. Re:It's a black hole! on Possible Dark Matter Signs At the Core · · Score: 0

    not exactly...as wikipedia says [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter] ... dark matter isnt necessarily transparent. We cant detect it by out current sensing methods, but it produces gravitational effects on the nearby objects, is like saying: if isnt bright (radiating) is dark :)

  16. DNA? on Fixing Bugs, But Bypassing the Source Code · · Score: 0

  18. what happens if the p16 gene mutates? on Discovery of "Cancer-Proof" Rodent Cells · · Score: 0

    what happens if the p16 gene mutates?
    or if something around the gene mutates (changing the geometry of the dna near it and making it inaccessible)and prevent it from expressing itself?
    just guessing....

  19. I wonder... on Virus-Like Particles May Mean Speedier Flu Vaccines · · Score: 0

    Im not a Genetist (INAG), so my question may sound dull or obvious...

    but, the virus dna in the vaccine really dont have any function?...

    i think the shell only aproach may trigger a immediate response (much like an allergy), but im not sure about the long term protection...

    cant a virus use 2 or more diferent kinds of shells?, that is, same virus(or very similar) with widly diferent protein shells?

  21. Re:Could happen on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 0

    because of the time dilation effect, if the entanglement maintains itself, i think you will see a signal that becomes increasingly lower (from the outside observer) unless it becomes undetectable... just a guess

  22. can be falsified? on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 0

    If the event A produces the effect B and that effect B changes the event A to event A1, so, in principle, the event A never ocurred, unless there is a way to observer simultaneously event A and A1.
    or im wrong?

  23. Re:But on Hyperdrive Propulsion Could Be Tested At the LHC · · Score: 0

    There's no inherent limit to the amount of kinetic energy we can put into a particle of any mass. The issue for interstellar travel is getting the energy, not applying it. Energy on that scale has an awful lot of mass.

    actually...the max energy density is 1 planck energy unit in a sphere of diameter of 1 planck length: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_energy

  24. Re:antimatter on Design Starting For Matter-Antimatter Collider · · Score: 1, Informative

    Anti-Matter is like matter, but with a opposite
    property (spin, charge, etc) that nullify between
    them, releasing photons (and neutrinos and
    another fancy particles)

    Actually, you can collide anything vs anything,
    but you need to see the quark composition of the
    particles to try to predict the outcome (pretty
    hard, cause everything will collide vs
    everything, primarly the target ones, next the
    newly formed particles, just with fewer
    interactions...

    from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter

    "In particle physics, antimatter is the extension of the concept of the antiparticle to matter, where antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. For example, an antielectron (a positron, an electron with a positive charge) and an antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) could form an antihydrogen atom in the same way that an electron and a proton form a normal matter hydrogen atom. Furthermore, mixing matter and antimatter would lead to the annihilation of both in the same way that mixing antiparticles and particles does, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particleâ"antiparticle pairs."
