Cool science stuff

For an example of when it isn't, I give you -- infantapulting.

 

That is tremendous.

 

The universe is dark -- a little too dark.

You think you know, but you don't know.



Thanks for posting that.
I love this thread.

 

Anyone else have this thread keep popping up in your "unread replies" although there hasn't been any activity since Jan. 7? (Well, until now, of course).

 

Time trolls!!!!

 

Damn them! I thought we got rid of them.
It's weird...even when I clear out posts, this one stays up (and still says Buck was the last to post)

 

Seems as if this might be appropriate for this thread:

You're welcome.

Did some posts disappear?

 

This is interesting. Some guy came up with a concept for a new rocket engine that uses an entirely new principle of thrust that requires little to no fuel. The idea was proven to be workable by some Chinese scientists, and then again by a team from NASA.
This thing is being touted as a revolutionary breakthrough for space travel. If it can be scaled up and perhaps powered by a nuclear reactor -- and if the concept is sound, you know people will start working to improve upon it -- we could have something that makes cheap space travel, as well as deep space travel, viable.

There's a reaction going on there that I'm sure will be perfectly explainable, but will eventually have far-reaching applications for everyday life.
