  • @shuggy555 Thats what one whould think, but physicists are the ones who realized the problem

  • I GET IT! Imagine a train, hundreds of miles long, okay? It's going 140 mph. It has train tracks on top as well as another train dozens of miles long, also going 140 mph, then a third train on top of it, about 15 miles long, once again moving at about 140 mph. Then a mile-long, final train, going the same speed as the other 3, on top of the third train. On top of this train is a road, paved for a car. The car on top of this train is going around 90 mph. If they were to move simultaneously...

  • @sofakingey That's how I understood it too, but instead of a car or train, I'm pretty sure it's more like the ocean and a surfboard or boat. If the boats engines are off, but it is caught in a wave moving forward, the boat isn't really moving, the waves are carrying it. But I could be completely wrong.

  • @onlynameithoughtof

    well, if you have a wooden stick on the water surface, and there are small waves, than you will see, that the stick wouldn't move away. it is going back and forth on the surface along with the wave. if you have a big wave (like a smaller version of a tsunami) you have the attractive force of the earth, so the stick or a surfer "drives" on the wave. so, your idea isn't quite good. space-time itself has no force, only if there is mass -> general theory of relativity.

  • @onlynameithoughtof

    but you are right in one thing. if there is a force in present of a mass than we call it gravity. like the boat or stick or the surfer moves an a bigger wave, we move in the gravity field - like an apple falling down a tree.^^ i think that this idea of yours is quite brilliant! the space-time-web is the reason for that force we call gravity, because the space-time-web is our wave. but the force on the stick transferred to the apple is not easy. it suggest a bigger force...

  • @sofakingey

    I like this idea!!! with this we will be able to be faster than light itself. we need just more trains on trains an one car...

    WOW!

  • @MarkusAliasBob It was an example, idiot. Don't be a smartass.

  • @sofakingey

    I know.^^ It was just for fun... Still, this idea is quite cool. If you wanna write a sci-fi-book, you can use it. (joking)

    That is my humor.

  • Let's do it!

  • There is no god. We here all born as atheists. Until someone forced their so religion upon us.

    And how can this "god" look just like us. Look how big our universe is. I am sure their is other strange looking creatures out there that are civilized.

  • @clrhilla Fuck you

  • @Nintendoaxman No sir. Fuck you!

  • @clrhilla I do agree with you.

  • @clrhilla No one forces religeon on you, you ass. You can choose whichever one you beleive in! It's people like you who are ruining my freedom of religeon in the United States!

  • @Nintendoaxman No-one? Really? You haven't talked to many people, have you...

  • @Nintendoaxman How does clrhilla's NO religion ruin your FREEDOM to believe in any religion you want? You're as dumb as your god is.

  • @Ikaaruz You assholes are the reason i can't have a Nativity Scene in town square during Christmas!

  • @Nintendoaxman Any municipality will deny you a permit to build something like that when the list of building materials includes blasting caps.

    Try cattle manure next year, you can say it makes the manger scene more authentic. Just don't make the baby Jesus out of it, somebody might be offended.

  • @Ikaaruz But That's just it! Can't I express my beleif for at least ONE week a year? And why does a baby Jesus in a manger offend people?

  • It's all very well having the formula, but what about the TECHNOLOGY??? How do you build a warp engine? How do you invent inertia damping fields (to stop you turning to mush due to sheer acceleration)? How do you invent a navigational deflector (to push small objects out of the way)? How do you invent long range sensors(in order to avoid larger object like planets)? Detecting large objects a few hundred miles away with radar is no good when you're travelling millions of mph! All this is needed!

  • @masere Space is so large, the likely hood of you hitting something is probably like finding a needle in a haystack the size of a planet. Even that small chance can be avoided by calculating where everything's going to be and then simply aiming in the right direction.

  • @MrsBlindStudios It may be large, but my point was it's NOT empty. A tiny particle hitting a ship travelling at lightspeed would destroy it. You can't take the risk that you might NOT hit anything! We don't know most of what is in our solar system, so travelling at lightspeed out of our solar system would probably be fatal unless you invent the technology I mentioned to detect and avoid objects large or small, and we don't have that technology, and may never!!

  • @masere Even so, Its not going to ever be able to hit the ship, your surrounded by the bubble of energy, If you collided with anything, your more likey to destroy it.

  • @MrsBlindStudios And pray tell where all that "energy" from the collision goes to? You have an "energy bubble", it hits something "small" and yet has "mass", your bubble is travelling at such a high "velocity", and you don't think anything will come of it? "F = M x A" dude. "Something" is gonna recoil into your bubble-travelling ship and it ain't gonna be "nothing" in the way of resulting Force.

  • @MrsBlindStudios @masere

    hey, you two. you have to think the other way around. The bubble changes the space-structure. if you are in the bubble and someone would look at you from outside, she/he would see you blurred. if something is getting in your way it would travel around you. light would be redirected... E.g.: light traveling near the sun, the path of the light is more like a curve, so the particles around the bubble. but i'm pretty sure that particles can get inside the bubble...

  • @MrsBlindStudios - the odds of evolution are so small that it would be like filling the universe with dimes and painting one red and send a blind man out to find it but people still believe in that.....

  • IT'S PROFESSOR OAK!!! DIALGA TIME WARP!

  • not very impressive, because almost anything can be achieved with mathematical models...doesn't mean it will happen.

  • This is basicly the same form of warp drive used in Star Trek, just without the "subspace"

  • @shuggy555 Thats not the problem, hawking radiation whould have no effect, the problem is that you can't attach the bubble to the ship, so the bubble will move, it just can't take anything with it, and that the negitive and normal mass whould have to move FTL

  • how does moving faster than light NOT violate the principles of relativity?

    that's what i still don't understand

  • @SickDream Space dosen't have to follow the principles of relatvity, and technicly nothing is moveing faster than light, It's space that's moving, the ship is not.

  • wow....that uni is in mexico? maybe they should fix the problem of all their people swimming to the US first

  • Michio Kaku for commanding officer!

  • @shuggy555

    that is what i'm talking about all along. but i wouldn't believe that the bubble travels faster than light. the deformation of space-time by vast quantities of mass shouldn't be traveling that fast because it is itself information. and as we know, no information travels faster than light. but at this point i get to the edge of my knowledge of physics... but try to move a black hole by the speed of light. impossible, so it is with this warp-bubble - which is principal the same...

  • shit man, this is awesome!

  • You guys better hope you don't hit any dust particles whilst traveling at that speed .... or you guys will be warped. LOL

  • negative mass.. wtf?!

  • the most realistic intertellar space ship was the ISV venture STar from the movie AVATAR.

  • one day, our descendants will figure out how to go back in time

  • @trickmastermonkey We did.

  • i thought jake gillanhall or whatever was gay

  • well. we can have warp speed, but can our human bodies keep itself intact while traveling at that speed?

  • Most excellent Asian lady **busizz4me.info**

  • oh, and something else:

    also, if you look in a proton or neutron, there are quarks. if you try to isolate a quark of the proton/neutron then you get a neutron/proton and a meson. This is because you can't isolate a quark because the energy to do that is the energy of more than two quark - so the energy "transforms" into two quark (actually a quark and an anti-quark)

    and don't mess up: an anti-quark is anti-matter but you can't bend space with anti-quarks or antimatter. this is all rubbish.

  • wow, hot discussion about antimatter.

    some facts: antimatter appears everywhere. in a volume with no air (vacuum) is energy which creates matter and antimatter in balance -> quantum fluktuation. therefore a vacuum is not a vacuum in general meaning. also, antimatter and matter in equal parts is produced in collisions or when a gamma-quantum is near matter (also a very interesting topic).

  • Aww the panda is hugging the guy! :D

  • plz plz plz some1 tell me how to reach this way of thinking

  • he's mexican! It doesn't matter but that is awesome!

  • wow can you two nerds buy a hotel room

  • @TheBaryonyx Shh, Nigger.

  • anybody understands this?

  • @shuwukong actually, yes.

  • @Sammyy46

    i don't understand how space is compressed?

  • I have two questions. First, in this video the space in front of the ship and that behind it are both warped. The space in the front pulls the ship, and that behind pushes. I can imagine, if there is a way to produce huge gravity or mass in front of the ship, the "pull" force will be there. But what can give a "push" force? Anti-gravity? Second, it mentioned many times faster than the speed of light, which violates the fact that any thing with mass can't move faster than the speed of light!

  • @williamtwu Take a read of Kakus book Physics of the Impossible. Its an incredible read and its all based on known science and theory which makes it even more incredible. He descibes it in detail most of us cannot.

  • @shkotay Thanks :-) I'll talk a look at Dr. Kaku's book someday!

  • @williamtwu

    Well. to the first question: the gravitational force between masses are always attractive, but not repulsive... I can't tell you why this is, but it has something to to with a symmetry which is in this case is broken - but i'm not sure whether this is the reason. therefore there is just the "pulling" force... second. the argument is, that you are in a warp-bubble, so you aren't really in our space-time so you can travel faster than light, but the bubble is...

  • @williamtwu

    the inconsistency in this argumentation is that a deformation in space-time like the bubble can't move faster than light because the "wave" can only move by the speed of light. no information travels faster. Information is mass or a wave. doesn't matter because of einsein's E=mc^2...

    I hope i could help you there.

  • @MarkusAliasBob Thanks so much for such a detailed reply, Bob! A video clip I watched before reminds of me something. Imagine the moment when a huge mass, like sun, suddenly disappears. Before disappearing, the space-time fabric sinks and gives a pull force. After disappearing, the fabric jumps up and moves back and force behaving like a 3D "sinc function". Yes I'm daydreaming but maybe it could be done by manipulating the presence and absence of gravity in front of the ship.

  • @williamtwu

    There you are right but i give it a lot of thoughts. Not that i am an expert;) What you describe is perfectly fine but there is one mistake in my opinion. It's not the space-time-web which behaves like a sinus-function but it is the wave of an Graviton. The thing is, that it only oscillates between 0 to +const (eg. "1"). So the space-time-web is like sin^2(x)-function - that is my belief, because there are particles flying through space with positive mass ->and bend space positively

  • @MarkusAliasBob yeah but what if you spin the bubble you could make the wabe because it's a given impulse creating bending spacetime and i agree wiht you somehow but in the other hand this two guy appear to know what they're playing at so i'll try to believe

  • @juliop14

    i don't know what you mean by "spinning the bubble". Try to spin the space around you... actually one can. rotating black holes can spin space-time - but the energy for that is a thousand suns. you, as a man, can only spin around yourself and it would seem that space is spinning... and what impulse is given and on what has it its effect? You cant give space-time or the bubble an impulse - they ARE space-time, not an object.

    ask yourself, where the1000-suns-energy comes from!!!

  • @williamtwu

    oh, and what i mean with "the thing is..." it refers to the space-time web - i wrote it not very clearly...

    My idea of energy an mass is, that mass and energy bend the space-time web positively because there is just a positive energy source. see my other comments. so, light itself bends the space-time and therefore our universe is bend naturally. but there is no bend that creates a force which pushs. if so, planets wouldn't be orbiting around stars! there can't be negative bending

  • OMG this is the way The proffesor from Futurama explained his Spaceship, the universe move you

  • and by the way. wormholes could work. maybe they exist. There is one big problem for us. We cannot travel through a wormhole because of Heisenberg. If we would do it, going in at one end and get out the other end we would die by an instant. For more information about "Heisenberg uncertainty principle" read in wiki...

    I love SciFi. but it is not real... Still i like this grenre!!!

  • wormhole, anyone?

  • Run this equation through an Oberon Brain hybrotic computer to see if it can really work in simulations.

  • Seriously? People actually take this Idiot for serious who spews 95% bullshit and 5% SKEWED FACT.

  • A pulsed warp drive can be done without any exotic matter nor any negative energy nor any energy condition violations, just ordinary electromagnetic radiation. see

    watch?v=8HazOEqeae8

  • I don't see how you could compress space-time ahead of you at FTL speed, since any communication or interaction with your environment is limited by relativity itself (therefore capped by speed of light).

  • @nickst0ne

    yeah, that's right. the Gravitational Waves (which is deformation of space-time) of circling black holes travel with the speed of light. so, a warp-bubble should also move by the speed of light, because it is also a form a deformation that moves through space-time. Reason for that is Einstein and also Maxwell, furthermore Hawking(!!!).

    An what i miss is the fact that there is no negative energy for negative curvature of space, just positive! So, there will never be a warp/FTL-drive.

  • Recently, scientists have managed to contain antimatter. We are now 90% closer to warp speed :D

  • @Sursion7

    try to read something about antimatter!!! warp-drive only works with negative mass. therefore negative energy is needed - but there is just positive energy available. Whatever dark energy is, we cannot use it, neither know what kind of energy it is. The same for Dark Matter - it has the same gravitational characteristics as normal matter, but it doesn't interact with normal matter... Here we don't have a negative mass.

    So, we really are at 0% of warp speed.

    sry, man.

  • @Sursion7 yeah but they need to pay 24 trillion US$ for the electric bill just to make an ounce of it :D

  • @Sursion7 if we dont have it in say 1,000 years

    im just gonna say epic fail

  • @Sursion7 Ahhh :) Science is so beautiful.

  • @Sursion7 proof or stfu

  • @Imonlyhereforcookies Search anything about the Large Hadron Collider and you will get proof.

  • @Sursion7 NO THEY DIDNT! Stfu >.< thats impossible! Antimatter is found in dark holes!! No one ever has even been close to a dark hole. If you had anti matter then it would MAKE a dark hole. geesus stfu.

  • @radnev007 its not. anti matter is not found is dark hole. your science fails

  • @radnev007 antimatter is formed when to pieces of matter colide at near the speed of light

  • @Sursion7 They contained it for like a millionth of a second... and it was only like 30 particles of it. They had to run the experiment over 200 times to capture that small amount. To even get nearly enough to use it as fuel it would take thousands of years. I'd say we are like .000001% closer to warp speed. Something is better than nothing :P

  • @jorge10928

    @Sursion7

    do you know what particles they've produced?! It was anti-hydrogen, mass of a hydrogen atom, but it is build of an anti-proton and a positron. To create a warp-bubble you need a negative and a positive mass, but the anti-hydrogen has the same positive mass like a hydrogen atom. So, we are 0.0000...0% closer to warp-speed because we still can't create a warp-bubble.

    and i know what i'm talking about!!!

    traveling by warp-speed is purely theoretical.

  • @MarkusAliasBob I know it's purely theoretical. I was just trying to not crush that poor Trekkie's dream.

  • @jorge10928

    but still, there are so many people who believe in this nonsense. therefore i try to illuminate them. false science should not be published - if it is purely theoretical, they should mention it. all those poor guys...

    and it is horrible to see/read all these comments which are mainly half wrong. if they wanna say something "scientific" they should check it first and then write it down...

    else they should dream, but quietly!

  • @jorge10928

    but dreams are perfectly fine if they are possible but not yet achieved. so, i'm happy about every einstein-like idea to form our technology and knowledge. i confess that i'm not einstein-like but i have a good knowledge about physics and a lot of ideas...

    AT ALL GUYS OUT THERE: DREAM AHEAD, BUT RIGHT AND POSSIBLE!!!

    LG Bob

  • @MarkusAliasBob LG? You some kind of company representative? Tnen your slogan would be life's good, not dreah ahead ;-)

  • @Griesmayer

    Hi Griesmayer, sorry. LG is a abbreviation for "Liebe Grüße" (German), means "kind regards". I haven't realized that i wrote it like this...I'm sorry for the confusion.

    - but what means "dreah ahead"??? or is it a typing error and you mean dream instead of dreah?!

    The scientists are telling theoretical stuff but don't tell that it is purely theoretical. And they don't say anything about antimatter. And i tell this to everyone.

    By the way, are you from Germany - your name is german

  • @Sursion7 yes, but it costs somewhere between 6-7 billion dollars per nanogram >_>

  • @Sursion7

    Can you proved us with a source which claims scientists have contained anti matter?

  • @kaminoneh I saw it on Daily Planet.

  • @Sursion7

    Thank you :)

  • This is common bullshit! I don´t believe you can bend vacum. Its more likely to be some sort of a plasmatunnel you create... Like when ligthning strikes it follows a line where it avoids obsticles and hit the spot. Place something inside this streak of plasma lighting and move with it, sudenly you are traveling from one spot to another in the speed of light without bending any fantasy spacefabrics.

  • @SuperFluidFerroFluid

    hi, you can bend vacuum: it's just that you change the volume. mass transforms/bends space-time. e.g. the earth. if we measure the diameter, we found something about 12600km, but the truth is, we "see" less. that is relativity of einstein. so, you can bend everything. space-time is a 3-dimensional web. it is hard to imagine this but this is the truth (or the building of the universe). it is just, that you can only bend the vacuum in a "positive" direction.

    Have a nice day.

  • One of the people that is on track. Keep on going, but be careful!

  • What about bending space - Pulling distances nearer?

  • Would space-time outside of the warp field pass differently, or exhibit any behavior that would indicate a desynchronization relative to the travellers?

    Impossible to know, but this would have been much more interesting if Dr. Kaku didn't try to dumb it down so much and spent sometime exploring more interesting aspects of the concept.

    He could have allowed the theoritician to explain his equation to some degree; instead he gives a lame analogy using a conveyor belt.

    What a dildo.

  • @Ikaaruz You're on the internet asking where all the information is? If he's a dildo then you're a cunt.

  • @pirskwayrd Well if I'm a cunt, then you're a towel. Question was rhetorical, retard; read it again.\

    LOL. "WJERE is ALL tha INFOS??"

  • so...where does the evil popcorn man emerges in this?

  • Vote michio Kaku for the next president!!!!!!!!

  • I love Michio Kaku he is like the Einstein of today

  • @MrBushiman Kaku is no where near as smart as Einstein but he is an outstanding physics teacher. That's why people pay him so much just to teach. Of course you need to know how to succeed at the actual theoretical physics research before you gain the authority to teach advanced physics.

    Einstein is a whole different ball game. Some say he was smarter than Sir Isaac Newton. That's...wow.

  • @Soothfish Yeah and what Einstein said was his biggest mistakes turns out to be dark matter!

  • Can you make my wife disappear?

  • @CoChOzIm LMFAO

  • @CoChOzIm Little harsh, don't you think?

  • @CoChOzIm I'll take her for u =)

  • @CoChOzIm you need to use your 'panty-matter'!

  • @CoChOzIm hahahahah rofl i literally rolle on the floor laughing at your comment

  • @CoChOzIm LOL, when you figure that out let me try it out on my mother in-law!

  • how much faster then light does warp go?

  • @Wishingstarification hahaha.. many times than the speed of light.. (referred to the video on top)XP

  • @xmangosaintx I know that! HOW many times faster than light?

  • @Wishingstarification i seriously have no idea.. lol i tried googling it. but it only has star trek warping speed ( which i believe is totally pointless to know ).. would you be kind enuf to update me if yu get the answer? as i will to yu.. please and thanks. :D

  • @Wishingstarification It depends how much you warp space time. I believe this speed, many times faster than light is only relative to objects around you, I think you are still not traveling faster than light relative to light, or else I believe he violated Einstein's second postulate.

  • @nelsyeung That's understood. The question is, is "many times faster than light" 10x the speed of light? Can space is warped without limit? Can we reach the center of the milky way in a matter of a second?

  • @Wishingstarification Well as shown by blackhole, and from looking at that equation, I don't think there is a limit to warping of space time, so yeah, might able to get to the center in a few seconds. :)

  • cute bear ;p

  • I have been trying to find the equation or name of the 'Trekkie" who came up with it. Can anyone help?

  • @FeMaidens2265

    skip to 0:40.

    Pay more attention.

    And even if they didn't flash his name, they say his name in the video, and even if they didn't say that, you can ALWAYS find what you're looking for using a powerful search engine like google. keywords like "warp drive" sci fi science warp drive" etc.

    Just think for yourself a little more. Stop being a semi-catatonic human.

  • @FeMaidens2265 Miguel Alcubierre. Go to wikipedia and search "Alcubierre drive".

  • All polar bears can come over at my place, no need to go extinct...the only problem is food...

    ah never mind...we've got a lot of tourists

  • i thought they said that exotic matter(matter with negative mass,negative something.) is need for this to happen.it might be impossible now but hey,we built airplanes even though ppl said it was IMPOSSIBLE

  • i am a design student trying to rap my head around all of this for a grad project...but could you not create this bending of space through extreme amounts of gravity? i know he says energy, but could gravity not be applied as an energy?

  • @douglasthew "extreme amounts of gravity" is an oxymoron. Gravity is a Force Vector Quantity, and therefore has no "amount" that you can quantify as if it was Mass. You can't "apply gravity as an energy". Gravity is already the manifestation of an Energy in action as a Force. So you're already transforming one form of Energy for another, and its application shows in different ways, the perception of Gravity being one of them.

  • check out seeingUFOpa these ufos have the bubbles for interstellar travel this is possible jus check out the vids. love n light 

  • this is just beyond comprehension for me

  • u all smart...all i gotta say is if it works thats pimp

  • he discovered that a bullshit theory he can read turns piss into wine. In theory its correct, in reality its only wine when you drink it, and who would?

  • @SASNIGHTCRAWLER Interesting analogy, considering they have had waste water recycling in several space programs for several years.

  • @ardawg2 I govern the universe, who the fuck is Math...dont you mean Johnny Mathis? When i go to sleep, all the particles in the particle organ go to sleep, hay its my reality stop pushing in, get your own lol ;)

  • the bubble obviously is what they refer to as warp field in star trek.

  • My question is what happens when two ships pulling and pushing on space cross paths? Do they slow each other down? Or they pull/push into each other?

  • @velveetaslingshot They would never cross paths. The Ships technically arent moving, Space/time is.

  • huge amount of energy in think russia and usa have more than enough nuclear energy use that! #EPIC

  • So, Instead of us all talking about warping space in this video's comment area. We should all go and sit down then rearranage equations until we find a way that is simple to warp space. Afterward. We can build a ship using this equation and drink on a planet in the orbit of alpha centurai.

    Note: the drinks are on me if that gives you more of a reason to.

  • @lichking665 litteraly on you, because if you asked me after i sat down, with a dink in my hand, to talk about warping space,i would explain to you what to say at the lunatic asylum when booking yourself in and escort you to the Yellow van outside...lol

  • besides you cant predict what ripples too encounter for your trajectory , on your first endeavors at warp-speed.

    because light/data we see is old.

    so wouldn't that make the straight-line maybe not so straight once you arrive at that point.?

  • @wiimoode

    you mean like the video

    yet that surface in the example is pretty much flat, and your the only rock in the pond.

    And what i get from this all, is that a sun, planets, stars, black holes,and such make all big wakes, probably bigger wakes than the little space craft.

    Some of them are steady ripples and others maybe in movement.

    So when i throw one rock in the water"spaceship", and quick after loads of other rocks, the bigger ripples influence the first little one by so much.

  • I cannot believe that NASA just dropped 1,200 jobs and yet we finance wars. Space programs are the largest peace time efforts to push the envelope of technologies. The only way to have more space is by going out and using it for resources, colonizing, and creating new and every more advance technologies.

  • Im just waiting for the day when people can live on the moon and going into space will be a normal vacation, the day where almost all carbon and fossile fuel emmisions will be cleaned up and new planets will be used to help the over population problems that is soon to come

  • @VasVortex

    but wouldn't that leave you making all sort off adjustments, i mean you are going at warp speed, gravitational masses pulling in all directions..

    Is it just me or is space travel going too be one heck off an bumpy ride...

  • @TheJustinfernandez You can't really stop the gravity from acting on you in warp speed but if you think of how light is bent just a tiny bit as it passes near Earth, the path from one planet to another would be even straighter. A theoretical observer could detect that you're not moving in a straight line. However, you couldn't because the compression/spreading of space will create a bubble of space around you. It's basically like a 3d model of a sound wave.

  • how do you overcome gravitational pull, when traveling at warp speed one might ask..?

  • @TheJustinfernandez thats easy, just bend space the other way....

  • so were warping all the time? on airports and flat escelators? hmm kool

  • So, it is possible, we have life support systems on ISS now, they need some development, but they are there. We have titanium alloy on earth, we know how to split atoms or fuse them together. (wich both creates hell of a lot engergy), and if that isnt enough, they should study anti matter a bit more... But if all this is there, then build freaking Enterprise and go "Where no man has ever gone"

  • The us should form a world space organization instead of fucking the iraqs and terrorsists have some common sense

  • @KaminariKatta I said the brain can solve an equation that predicts where a ball will land to make a point about the nature of the universe. Just because the brain does something, doesn't mean we have to even be aware it's doing it. Take your heartbeat, digestion, or vision for that matter. These things happen, but you don't need to be conscious of said activities. As for the warp speed equation, its visible at 0:13.

  • aaaah i HATE michio kaku. he's like on every video on youtube. i was just watching that recent UFO thing here in the US and that guy was there again.... i'm very suspicious of him.

  • @izlude2 why would anyone hate him? he is a genius.

  • Well it's been a year since this video was posted, I haven't see anything about it since.

    It'd be awesome though.

  • tanh((x)*(tanh(2(√((x^2)+(y^2)­-10)+2))-tanh(8(√((x^2)+(y^2)-­10)-2)/2)))).

    Took me nearly a month to work out how to rearrange this from the given eqution above...

  • now all we need is the power source. Magnetics and hydrogen.

  • to generate the kind of power needed, we would need either a ZPM (Zero Point Module) or a means of drawing power from a Black Hole

  • @littlemegamonkey This isn't Stargate: Atlantis or Stargate.

    Sci-Fi stands for SCIENCE-FICTION. It may call on science for some of its ideas and a minority of it may be explainable by theorical science, but the majority is FICTION, ie: Not real.

  • I was saying that "Fission was Discovered" THEN AFTER Its discovery its application was found during the manhattan project in the form the atomic bomb fission was first discovered by those scienist below but it had no application. I accidently forgot to put a comma in that comment right there, my bad. Fission was useless until the manhattan project,everyone was like "cool we can split a atom" but they had no idea what it could be used for until the atomic bomb.So, clam down Lollocide.

  • @lichking665 Again, you're wrong.

    Fission was seen to have lots of potential for energy, but not as a military weapon,, it took alot of funding by the American gov. on the theory by Oppenheimer that Uranium deutride might "blow itself to hell" by its mass alone (critical mass).

    Its not that I'm angry, its the fact that you're making lots of statements with little or no idea of the history of your claims.

  • @Lollocide Exactly, They saw it had tons of potential energy but they didn't have any idea what the potential energy could be used for until scientist of the manhattan project found in the form of the atomic weapons. You have literly just proven my point. I guess it depends on your point of view, but you attempting to disprove me has actually proven my point better than I could have and for that I want to thank you.
