| 544400 | 2007-04-26 04:47:00 | perhaps he was think microsoft word is "out of this world" This is probably the link he meant (www.theregister.co.uk) |

| 544401 | 2007-04-26 05:33:00 | This one: www.dailymail.co.uk Scientists are thinking of building an extraordinary anti-gravity machine which - if it works - could make "hyperdrive" starships a reality. Yep. And if we had the Enterprise and Spock.......... Or if we had a wormhole............. Or if............. |

| 544402 | 2007-04-26 05:41:00 | Wrong link johcar? :confused:Oops!! :o Damn Clipboard misbehaving (or more likely it's a case of "PEBKAC" - "Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair"). Nigel's got o the same story, but the original article I was trying to link to was here (space.newscientist.com) (and I've checked this one!!) | johcar (6283) | ||
| 544403 | 2007-04-26 06:00:00 | [quote= . . .that a spacecraft fitted with a coil and ring could be propelled into a multidimensional hyperspace. Here the constants of nature could be different, and even the speed of light could be several times faster than we experience. If this happens, it would be possible to reach Mars in less than 3 hours... [/quote]It's all very well being propelled into a "multidimensional hyperspace". I'd be worried about meeting the Space Family Robinson, and Dr Smith: that would be worse than considerations like "how you you get back to or 3 dimensional space?". "Lost in hyperspace", perhaps. "large enough" and "if this happens" are always warning signs. The reference to the accurate calculation of fundamental constants is a a bit oif red herring. It's always possible to make a way to calculate fundamental constants by adding dimensions. |

It's always possible to make a way to calculate fundamental constants by adding dimensions . Some say that Tesla was working on the premise of constant acceleration via his coils, figuring that electrons were capable of traveling past the speed of light . . . . kinda like an electromagnetic shotgun . Heat and REMF killed his dreams . . . not to mention that he could not wind coils with sufficient cooling and dielectric strength . I think it might have been the Borg who flummoxed his designs . |
