Don't you and your debate ending logic have somewhere else to be? :P

Actually, my boss just called me and said he had a rush job so I should get over there early ...

Would that be infinite amounts of energy to accelerate it? If so, could the scientists harness some of the energy expended on silly internet discussions?

I'm sure, this week alone, DPC has produce enough energy for an orbital flight.

Would that be flight as in 'flight of stairs' (a long trudge to the stars) or flight as in "take flight to get away from all this" ?

So, to approach light speed or break that barrier, we must first find a way to isolate the spaceship from that effect masking the relative mass of the spaceship (in Star Trek the writers called this a warp bubble).

More than likely humans will never travel faster than light. A more efficient way to get from point A to point B would be to fold space to a point where point A and Point B meet.


You could always harness some dark enegry/matter and create a dark matter wing, sort of like sucking you forward into the universe. Of course you would probably leave a wake of black holes behind you, which might turn out to be a bad sort of thing.

Is it diet energy? I need to lose some weight.

did you know this thread is a lot like the "did you know" thread except no one is saying "did you know"

Wrong.....I did. And did you know that many others did too.

Question: When we send our digitals to the lab for printing, does the printer print in x-y axis (like our LCD monitors) or does it print in x-y-z axis (like a beehive?)?

Why is it that for a midlife crisis, men get sportscars and women get hot flashes??

Why don't cinnamon molecules adhere evenly to sugar molecules when one makes cinnamon sugar to put on toast?

I hate midlife crisis' in men...they can be frightening for the women.

Why do they have to be like that?

I don't understand how it would print in the x-y-z axis, that means that it would print out of the page (up or down). As far as I know they either print in the x-y axis and/or in layers.

Mix the cinnamon sugar in a separate shaker about halfway, close and shake vigorously. Keep cap firmly closed to prevent cinnamon from clumping. Ensures an evenly spreadable happiness every time ;-)

Cinnamon sugar does indeed equate to happiness. I keep it in a closed plastic thingie that I do shake, but if you shake too vigorously, the cinnamon will again huddle on it's own side of the container...

They must have different cinnamon trees in Texas... :P
