1) Message boards : SETI@home Science : Faster than the Speed of Light. (Message 1101828) Posted 29 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: For interstellar traveling, there may be some trick you could use. You'll never be faster than Light, but you can fly another way so your way is shorter than the Way the Light goes. if you want to do this, you need very much gravity, means a black hole. there is a small area near the black hole, where you can take a shorter way. This Way looks like beeing longer, because you are flying a courve around this black hole, or better, it seems like you're flying a courve, but actually the light does. This means you can send a Radio signal to the aimpoint and you can be there before the signal comes. So it seems like you where faster than light without travelling in time.

2) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : 2012 - real or not? (Message 1100982) Posted 27 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: This scenario would be wonderfull, Jonney, and I think it'll become that way. But 2012 is a bit near, beacause to expand to space needs a new thinking, a peacefull thinking, and changing the peoples thougts needs a very long time. For example emancipation. How old is this Idea? In states where emancipation is said to be, women often are'nt paid equally for doing the same job and there are a lot of countries where women still are'nt seen equal to men. I hope mankind will change in a godd way, because the Alternative would be self-destruction, and I think noone want to die because some other people where to rigid. So I believe there will be a change, but not in 2012. But 2012 could be the beginning of a change, but I don't think it has any connection to forecasts of past civilization. Or maybe, that forecasts give the Idea? Fact is, we will be a part of this change and can influence it's way.

3) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Who nows good Information sources about theoretical Physics? (Message 1100867) Posted 26 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: Hey guys, I wanted to know if you can tell me any good sources for Information? my problem is: I can understand Physical facts very fast, so I know the things which are basics and a bit more. But now there is a gap between the things I can understand and an complexe speech of high physics. So I need a source, where I can learn to understand the "language" they speek. Best would be, if you could tell me any german sources, cause English actually isn't my mothertounge, so I have problems to understand what they say at the good sites in the Internet, and I don't want to wait till I can study physics.

4) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Raise Shields! (Message 1100662) Posted 25 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: You have to explain this question, PKII. Anti-Light, meant Anti-Photones exists. But Anti-Potones are the same thing like Photones, means Photones are their own Anti-Particle

5) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : 2012 - real or not? (Message 1100655) Posted 25 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: I think it is an sientific question in some Way Johnney. But if you follow our Past, the Mankind ended a lot of times. not very long ago, the end was said to be near, cause all Planetes standed in one row. In this time, the people where afraid too, but nothing happened. OK, this time The Maya Calendar sais the End is near, but there is no reason for an END. But there are Possibilities hat could happen in the year 2012: the History is nearly completely based on Energy. First, there was Fire: it enabled better Weapons, better Food, and an easier Hunt. Then you had Cole, so you could melt Metall and built Machines. Now, we have Oil, our Main Energy source. But this source is getting smaller and smaller, since you need more Energy to get the Oil than the Oil has got Energy. So the END could be meant as the END of rapid evolving. But I don't believe that the people in this Time knew anithing about Future, cause this is one of the two no-goes.

6) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Prove to me we "Evolved" from Apes! (Message 1100650) Posted 25 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: It's an intresting Idea, but it has lacks itselve. If these people created us, where did they come? where do they live? did they had evolution, or where they created by others? That would be like an old view of the World, where Earth is an Turtle, carried by an other Turtle, carried by an other Turtle and so on... This would be an endless path of creation, so thats nonsense. So wouldn't it be more plausible, if the Human race evolved by an long evolution, than beeing crated by another intelligent race, that had an evolution itselve? Think aubout it, the human race searches for its past just for an comparetively short time, we need time to find the Keys in this game. it's Like the SETI Project: We know ( OK, we believe in, but the propability is really high, so we can say know) there must be an other intelligente species out there, but we have to search for them. We improve our Technologies and, if we live as long as it's enough, we'll get an answer.

7) Message boards : SETI@home Science : Faster than the Speed of Light. (Message 1100649) Posted 25 Apr 2011 by Wahnsinn Images Post: The Problem here is that whatever you do, if you speed up your system( that's you and your spaceship) is getting more Energy. Near the Speed of Light this Energy will have Mass itselve, so you are more heavy than you where before. This means, you put in the same Energy, but only get for example the half speed more (I actually don't know if it is really the half, but in the end it has the same effect). So it is like adding in this way: 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 + ... You can calculate this row a infinite time, but you never reach 2, but you get really near.
