Considering they are sandwiched in graphene, that might actually be better than modern windows. I don't think graphene transmits heat very well across the plain.
I wonder if it would be possible to harness the ultra-blueshifted photons that you would see as you accelerate faster and faster. Would the increase in mass be proportional to the increase in energy of the photons? In any event, at least some sort of shielding would probably be vital, as otherwise they would melt your spaceship into nothing. Perhaps a meta-material could allow the photons to move around the ship without destroying it.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You think those people were free before the whites got there! That is HILARIOUS.
Here's a hint--those with the military power took EVERYTHING from those without prior to the arrival of the whites, who at least had some semblance of law and order.
Here's a hint, just because the whites weren't perfect at recognizing and protecting natural law does NOT mean that they were worse at it than those that came before. If they had been, they wouldn't have been able to conquer them, as freedom causes and increase in capital, and capital allows for more and more powerful armies to be raised. If those people had been free from oppression by their own people, they would have had accumulated capital, which they could have turned into military power, even in the face of a large technological gap (just as Kamehameha purchased muskets and rifles to subdue rival tribes).
Who says they have to be poor? The fact is that personal freedom is correlated with wealth. Make you people free enough, and they won't need to pay bureaucrats to pick each other's pockets to pay for perverse incentives to keep people from being poor.
People need to get over this idea that the United States is free--it isn't. It was once, and the golden age that was spawned by the freedom that wasn't taken away from the people lasted for almost a century, even after those freedoms started being slowly stripped away, and perverse incentives put into place to breed generational dependence.
The United States, and countries around the world, NEED revolution, not bread and circuses, lest we follow the road taken by the Roman Empire itself.
You're so cruel! How dare you use logic to refute my assertion that we should take care of EVERYONE in our society who NEEDS it according to the definition of the word "need" (to be determined)! You are a terrible and cruel person.
I think you should apologize to humanity for the promotion of your idiotic theories.
"Metaphysical assumptions". Jesus Christ. Take that shit and go back to the english lit department. The pace of scientific progress is speeding up, not slowing down. "Reductionism" works just fine. The only barrier to is is the precision of our tools.
Yeah, but we can't not help those other poor people as well! You are a cruel, terrible person if you think we shouldn't help everyone that we can until our entire civilization is ground into dust under the ever accumulating weight of those who find ways to exploit any and all coercive systems.
Don't take that to mean that I don't think that the current system isn't like that. I decry such things where ever I see them, and I see them everywhere these days. Looking back, I see them going back a long time too.
Fine, then there is no such thing as gravity, and people are a bunch of idiots for thinking there is, or thinking they can think or understand how the universe operates. Let's all give up being men and go live in the fucking forest.
Happy?
But seriously. How can we be sure there is such a thing as distance? Sure, we observe it, and have a word for it, but what causes it? Hurp.
"Need" doesn't justify the collective burdening of others. Sure, "we" could easily absorb the cost of one of these types of things, but what happens when there are thousands, or millions of similar cases? Who gets to decide who gets access to everyone's money? It is a system that breeds corruption, and will cause eventual collapse, and greater harm to most of the participants.
As cruel as it sounds, it is the market that must decide. It is the only way to keep things anywhere close to fair for EVERYONE, rather than making things extremely "fair" for a chosen few.
Who said a WORD about models? Gravity is a force that we have DEFINED as the attraction between two massive objects with no charge.
Might as well try to tell me that you can't define what a meter is, or the concept of length, just because you don't understand why distance exists between objects.
10 cm is hardly nano. More regular than anything. You could call it a "centi-missile" if you must, but that particular buzzword probably lost its buzz factor in the 1300's.
No, it's just that observing falling apples won't tell us what CAUSES gravity. We have DEFINED gravity as a the force between two objects with mass. The fact is there is a force between massive objects, and that effect is defined as gravity. Period.
That doesn't mean that we know where gravity comes from. But we know it is there. Any fool attempting to claim otherwise is, well, a fool.

And yet it continued under Obama.
Stop trying to blame one party or the other. Both are at fault, and both should be punished. Vote third party.

99.9999999999999999999% true isn't "proven". Got it.

Why not Zoidberg? He's cheaper than some boloney robot!

I know this is a lot to ask, but could you stop being stupid?
Next thing you'll be telling me how evolution isn't "proven" because it's "just a theory". GTFO.

But we need them to get their pitchforks out. The system is corrupt to the core.
I will not be party to the provision of the mob with bread and circuses to protect cruel and incompetent leaders.

Yes, and we defined the name of the theoretical force to be "gravity". Therefore, gravity exists. Stop trying to be clever. You aren't.
Ok, I did that. At first he was annoyed, then we had a good laugh at the expense of you idiotic solipsists.
lol, sure, there is no such thing as the GRAVITY CONSTANT.
Jesus Christ, for people who don't think anything is real, you sure do blither on as though you are right (and therefore exist) a lot.

Presumably you could afford the copay on your super-awesome insurance plan.
No, it is how a FASCIST medical system works. And that is exactly what we have, and have had for a hundred years: http://mises.org/daily/4276

Let's do that with all disease, including the diseases of age, and those caused by poor lifestyle choices!
We could treat them all if we only chipped in $700 a day!

Might as well try to tell me that you can't define what a meter is, or the concept of length, just because you don't understand why distance exists between objects.
We didn't define "it" into existence. It's there. Observed. We just don't know the cause.
This isn't hard, guys. Stop thinking that you can't think.
