Are there really no-one who has anything to add to this at all?

If I have understood it correctly, Warp Engines creates one or more "bubles" around the ship. Each of those bubles can move inside the buble outside of it with the speed of light or close to it, and with the ship in the innermost buble. Thus giving the ship an exponential faster-than-light speed. I have no idea if we can make something like that, but I hope we get some kind of faster-than-light travel. I want warpspeed or hyperspeed!

The NSA has no right to monitor all telecommunication. And who are they to say who are good and bad?

Yes, I read the article. And making the land mines "smart" makes it a lot easier for me to accept. But they could still fail, and not be disarmed when the time comes. And if the USA should be able to send out some signals and disarm the land mines, couldn't another force also be able to do that after some time? Besides, I'm not convinced of the tactical or strategical value of land mines.

It's fiction. Use some kind of special fusion or compression mechanism to create very heavy materials.

Wouldn't a brain transplant be succesful if you just managed to connect all the nerves in the spine to the brain? And the body didn't reject the new brain of course.

And one dimension gives a line. Two dimensions give an area. Think this is interesting though. If one could fold space one wouldn't need to breal the speed of light.

When it all began? In the start I think surnames were familynames, or the name of ones father/mother. Or of the place one came from. I have two surnames, one from my mom and one from my dad. The surname from my mom is not older than five generations, as my greatgreatgrandfather made up a surname for himself when he was 15, if I remember correctly. The surname from my dad comes from the area were my family comes from.

Why am I not surprised?

I am trying to make some world maps on how the world was in prehistoric times like Triassic and Jurassic, etc. I have found a couple of maps which shows where the continents were at lots of different times, but none of them shows much about how the climate was in the different areas during those times. Does anyone have any good links or information that tells how the climate was around the world (hundreds of) millions of years ago?

I'm currently reading "The Universe in a Nutshell", by Stephen Hawking. Great book about space, time, the universe, time travel and the future.

If this is civilian technology, have you any idea of the price (which I think must be quite high) or where one can get it? Though won't it be easy to scan for it? It sends out its own radio-signals if I understood correctly. That should be easy to detect or shield against? Btw, how does it get power if it carries no power by itself? By sucking power from its 'host'?

I remember seeing something similar, but this time it was that the windows would reflect a part of the sunlight further into the building to give more sunlight deep inside the building, and thus saving energy for lamps (at least during the day). Anyway, both these and the windows you talk about have a small problem: With a lot of skyscrapers, would there be enough light hitting the windows to make much of a difference? Wouldn't the skyscrapers just create shadows for each other?

I really to much about Libyas politics or its near history, but as far as I know there is no reason for not letting them in.

What remark by me was it that was idiotic, and why??
