Yes well, don't get too excited. While such a thing seems theoretically possible, we have no idea how one would steer/point such a device through space-time. I saw a discussion of this in an ARXIV paper a couple years ago, and this concerns the entropy/progress of the universe as it expands, and th...

I'm trying to write a story about Dr. A. W. Doowmij (he's Dutch, you see) and his assistant Mot Dooham. They have discovered an incredible new space drive and they're going to have amazing adventures on alien planets with fantastic creatures, etc., but I cannot get beyond that point. Can anyone help...

There's no mention of ZPF in the paper. The title is a giveaway: "X-ray Propulsor". From scanning the paper, my understanding is that X-rays generated by electron bremsstrahlung are the "exhaust". The author claims thrust in the newton range, which seems way too much to me. He equates linear momentu...

This is all so simple. As others have pointed out, 1776 was the time in which the yoke of monarchy/aristocracy was thrown off. Those who would rule us have ever since worked diligently to re-establish the rule of Monarchy and Nobility. The Soviet Union was nothing but the re-establishment of the Mo...

So, does this mean we can declare victory in Afghanistan and leave?

I started this thread because I think we are running out of money to pay for the New Deal and Great Society programs. I am interested in the thoughts of others, particularly those who wish the end of the aforementioned programs. Your remark about "running out of money" is interesting. Who are we? C...

Ah, the eternal fascination of war.

Spacex plans Falcon 9 flight at Cape in September

If you build it, they will come... I think that the lower the prices are, the more people will be able to afford putting payloads into orbit. So all of a sudden, there will be new clients popping up as prices go down. I am certain of this. Also, once SpaceX does it, there will be more competition a...

It will be interesting to see if Spacex can really revolutionize spaceflight. To me, "revolution" would mean reducing the cost per pound to orbit from ~$10,000 to $1000. I can't see how the Falcons could do this unless first stages really are reusable (they haven't demonstrated this yet) and unless ...

Hmmm... 21st Century Science and Technology sounded familiar - it's a Lyndon Larouche publication. I see on the main page that you can read about Science and the Larouche Youth Movement.

Burt Rutan also believes that aliens built the pyramids.

IIRC Eric Lerner wrote the book The Big Bang Never Happened, taking the position that galaxy formation is dominated by electromagnetic not gravitational forces.
