One of the Few

This will sound rude, but I feel a considerable bit dumber because of this thread.

Alright, with this information, I will become the worlds first trillionaire. As thanks, all who responded to this thread will recieve a charming gift basket of your choice, and a lamborghini. I'll make Rockefeller look like a peasant.

Ok. Thank you. I appreciate this.

I do have one more question, the massive temperatures of fusion reactions are comprised using reactors built to massive scales, isn't feasible to say that at a ten thousandth, maybe less, (note the rebreather in mind wouldn't be more than the size of bicycle handle bar.) that said temperatures would drop to a more managable temperature? Say a few hundred degrees farenheit?

Some form of quantum random activity, your self esteem became so small physics broke down.

Then again, everything mig ht be an illusion, maybe we are inside the matrix, maybe we only figments of a machines imagination mayb- Oh, god they're here, if you get this message tell everyone they can't kill us all! Maybe...

Thank you, and i may have used incorrect terminology, then again i may haven't. What i meant to say is that it doesn't print in black. I will try different colors. Greatly appreciated, One of the Few

indeed.

Is there a way to print black and white documents in color, such as a dark shade of blue. I'm out of toner so i would like a quick fix for printing my...AHEM dungeons and dragon's character sheets.

moontan man is right, plus it is almost as hard as diamonds(refering to moh's scale) then again it might be difficult to find it in large quantities. As for the electric field, wouldn't it fry any electrical components in the device. Ugh neutrons, that's some bad juju there.

Thank you for the input, and yes sisyphus if i developed cold fusion living underwater may not be the main use for it. As for the radioacticity, yes of course there's going to be a fine bunch of it, yet i think the main issue with fusion would be the electromagnetic field. If this were to be magnified to the extent you could power a city, it might have more practical uses*. * In fact I could just make Rapture from Bioshock. P.S. I live in the puget sound area

When I was in elementary school I thought up the greatest invention of all time, an infinite rebreather. Now that I know a bit more about physics I am realizing that with today's technological restraints, it is nigh impossible. But it was and still is fantastic all the same. Simply, it separated water into hydrogen and oxygen, I assumed that the oxygen would bind to itself forming O2, secondly I knew that hydrogen was used in fusion. So my thought was that if i could make a small reactor, i could use that to power the invention, what would be required is an infitessimally small fusion reactor and an electrolysis apparatus etc. Both of which would be "hard" to come by. Wouldn't it be feasible to say that with this I could live indefinately underwater? Furthermore, i'm not worried about copyright imfringement or the likes, seeing as, if you can develop the technology to do this, you'll probably deserve the earnings. If you have any corrections, comments, constructive criticism I would be delighted to read it. With care, One of the Few

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm stoked to hear that Physicist/Author Michio Kaku's book "Physics of the Impossible" will now be broadcasting on the science channel as a regular program. This was my first book on physics and I read it cover to cover. And as a follow up to this, do any of you have propositions for impossible inventions, ideas, your own theories...et cetera

It's elementary my dear colleagues, this is in fact the devilish work of none other than, the dolphins, as gratitude for all the fish. When your girlfriend used her cell phone to send out a GPS transmission to the dolphins, invariably calling in for a favor, the dolphins produced rain from their cloud shaped interstellar warships and when said rainstorm ended, they retreated to the restaurant at the end of the universe for space donuts and coffee.

Interesting, yes the need to reduce file size is becoming very, very important to program distributers, and you all grasped my idea with a sense of delicacy that i am not used to, in fact it's impossible for me to ask ANYONE these type of questions . Nonetheless tell me more about this "Super-high vision" in fact that kind of clarity is amazing in of itself. Secondly, i feel special, all of the big wigs responded to my thread.

Hello, I am familiar with all of the common byte sizes and most of the generally unknown ones, but I have a speculation. The terrabyte is mainly used for extensive personal files and small servers, but petabytes these are used in the larger internet servers. In fact i have actually found an 8 petabyte HDD tower on ebay for an interesting sum, 10 million USD. Actually I set the item to "watch" and incredibly, it sold. With all of this one could infer that in my life span (I am a freshman) that large files such as movies or video games could encompass a whole terrabyte and petabytes could be today's equivalent of a terrabyte. Frankly, I could rant on about exo, zeta and yottabytes but i'd probably be wasting my breath...or finger stamina, oh you know what i mean.

Yes, sherlock, it would make it considerably cheaper in the sense that less feul is required and thing of that nature.

Moontanman has a point, I believe there is a similar issue with the LHC. The whole magnetic field and all. Heh, thats the thing with circles and spheres, they're perfect, until you want to do something with them:)

Ugh such a kill joy:D i'm using PV cells as an example really, by the time we have the technology to make something like a hyper rail gun we might have perfected fusion or hell we might still be using fossil feuls.

Yes there is nothing to leave in "OUR universe", but also one must see anothers point of view to enlighten ones self, our universe is "OUR" universe. Our universe "technically" has physical constraints, if all is known about our universes expansion, the acceleration and current velocity, then it can be measured. But in a multiverse an infinite realm where infinite universes absolutely indentical in every way to ours, and those that posess only one or five or even one billion fundamental forces. Inifinity has many, many definitions. To many, many people, but there is one that cannot be denied, and that is "Endless possibilities" if you say our universe is infinite then it "is" the multiverse, but in turn the multiverse is us. We are everything and at the same time nothing in comparison to the endless multiverse. the overwhelming truth that this knowledge of everything is not within our grasp, this paradox of us being everything, yet only part of a whole is for you to contemplate.

Yes, a cannon, like the space elevator would mainly be used for cargo i'm guessing. It'd certainly make resupply of the space station alot simpler. But imagine this, in a last ditch effort to save humanity we build a massive rail gun encompassing one half of the moon, and the other half is covered in super efficient photovoltaic cells, all of it escalating dozens of kilometres into the sky. The resulting magnetic acceleration rockets them into the cosmos!

Also realize this, due to the curvature of space if you had some means of doing it and left the universe, you would arrive at YOU GUESSED IT the other side of the universe.

While the Railgun is my favorite, honestly the ramjet has the greatest possibility (seeing as it has an infinite specific impulse) with the overall abundance of hydrogen. Also for reconnaissance, if we release nanobots by the trillions all equiped with (for lack of a better term) little pico solar sails. If these all move towards a target it is assured that many will arrive...only to increase their numbers by way of little factories.* *Most of this is explained in Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible.
