  1. Re:There's no intelligent life close by on Milky Way Stuffed With an Estimated 50 Billion Alien Worlds · · Score: 3, Interesting

    haha, people always talking about our incredibly weak radio signature. I'd like to submit for consideration the possibility that our nuclear tests of the mid 20th century have been detected, and a reply is already coming back in fusion powered craft at 3-7 percent lightspeed. In other words, in about 20 to 500 years this Earth will be sterilized of human life.

    not unless we also invent the neural state scanner to record state of mind and memories. But once we have that and a way to inject sensation into our own brains, then we can surreptitiously get a DNA sample and scan of that hot cute coworker to run in virtual sex sim. Who would be hurt by this? no one, it's win-win.

    Forget that little motor, what is powering the ship? Will this ship be ion drive via fission power? Or will we perfect Bussard polywell or ramjet fusion?

    I'd rather deal with the higher-level issue that this whole "web 2.0" type slashdot UI is a total piece of shit. I'd rather slashdot use pure http code for nntp threaded discussion circa 1998 than fuck with this jackoff-spooge.

    I don't trust Verisign with my private data, they broke DNS for .net and .com back in 2003 as part of a profit scheme. Root certificates are another issue, but I do trust it means some schmuck paid verisign money, and they probably are the same schmucks presenting the certificate versign made them. SSL can be broken, just compute-intensive.

    no problem, you turn a gyroscope by applying force at a right angle to direction you wish to turn, gyroscope will turn 90 degrees in direction of spin. If ship is spinning clockwise as seen from rear, pushing nose down makes ship turn to right.

    I am an engineering physicist, what is the problem? Anything set spinning in space, such as a spaceship, will spin forever unless acted upon by another force. People walking around inside won't cause loss or gain of total angular momentum.

    A motor can make up for any losses from friction. As to people entering and exiting a spinning section, no problem Not if people enter a spinning section from the center and descend a ladder down, the momentum lost will be returned as they exit.

    there *will* be forces acting on people, shear will transfer momentum to the air and eventually from air to all floating objects. You do understand that the air in a spinning vessel also spins? Or just consider what happens to water and clothes when washing machine starts to spin dry.

    you're not describing what has happened through the ages in enough detail, and so you are inaccurate. historically, if there were war in space, the winner's men will rape the loser's women and so the winner's genes will be dominant in the population upon arrival. - what's the problem?

    there can easily be a 1 G field for a space journey taking years. Spin the ship when coasting, or when under acceleration tilt the floor so acceleration plus spin equals 1 G perpendicular to floor.
