I think I may have mentioned once before I have a Star Trek coffee mug that "beams up" Kirk, Spock, and McCoy when you pour your hot beverage in it, and they come back as it cools or you drink it.  The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Chris you don't like the new Star Trek what !! shock horror it's fantastic , we gotta get the next gen to be Trekky's us old timers have to pass the baton on to the younger one's . The dream of warp drives and beam me up scotty has to servive to drive the younger ones to do and go where no man has gone before . I reckon they did a good job too. we should make it a rule of Seti you have no choice but to be a Trekky or you can't look for ET here....

... The dream of warp drives and beam me up scotty has to servive to drive the younger ones to do and go where no man has gone before . ... Very definitely so! But for JJ Abrams to try to show off silos and perspex pipes in a shed as some stupidly undisguised spaceship engine room, and to have a silly lampoon sketch of chase through the pipes, is just too stupid to be funny. Painful. Misusing the outer shed of a brewery or some farm barn is just really taking the piss. Sorry, too pathetic a joke to be inspiring. All just another trash action comic. The excessive and unrealistic "lens flare" 'special effects' to 'add a bit of colour' also give the game away that the films are more for effect than any thoughtful thought. No science inspiration there. Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 1542719 · |

In that case Martin you are never to go to COMICON I and all the Sheldon's out there ban you from Comicon seeing as I can't get you banned from here :)

hopefully Chris NASA will figure it out but I hope they do it before I'm too old or comeon Sir Richard get that Virgin space plane working so I can book my seat seeing as that's about the closest thing we got to a warp drive space ship ..NOT

Having read Stephen Hawkins lecture on the topic of warping space-time, It certainly appears possible as we woud in effect by-pass the limits of e=mc2. However, I had no idea it was being considered so seriously. ID: 1543186 · |

Nasa approves 'impossible' space engine design that apparently violates the laws of physics In a quiet announcement that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, Nasa has cautiously given its seal of approval to a new type of “impossible†engine that could revolutionize space travel. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-approves-impossible-space-engine-design-that-apparently-violates-the-laws-of-physics-9646865.html ID: 1552424 · |

One thing to imagine it in the mind and even draw it on paper but to build it, I have my doubts. And even then what will they use for the enormous amount of power required to build a field big enough to be useful. But I guess it's worth spending some time and money on.

That's twice now i've herd they got the maths wrong when talking Neutrenos and the speed of light... FTL link

No, it was only a bad cable in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. Carlo Rubbia never believed in superluminal neutrinos and said it clearly. Tullio ID: 1552815 · |

Tullio i was refering to another thing not CERN . A experiment where some astronomers where figuring out the speed of neutrenos from space or something and that is what i meat i have herd 2 times the scientists have the math or interpretation wrong when talking neutrenos

The 1987 supernova is said to have sent neutrinos and photons, beside gravitational waves which were not certainly detected. Thee neutrinos arrived before the photons but not because they traveled faster but because a photon has a time delay to emerge from the interior of the star, while the neutrino, which barely interacts with matter, has not. Maybe you refer to this effect. Tullio ID: 1553267 · |

Possiblly Tullio . Sounds like what they where trying to measure and some how got it wrong . Big hoo haaa because FTL mite have been possible , but then had to retract statements about it
