  1. Well I know as much about physics as I do about love, which is not a whole lot. But There seems to be a huge fallacy in your logic: So we take the original apple A, cut in half, making half B and half C. We put half B into the time machine TM. Assuming the contents of TM are the only things effected by the "mysterious field", although the atoms are reversed in their processes, (still don't understand this, but I don't need to) and would return to their individual states "before the cutting", why would that have any effect on the other half, C?? I don't see how an atom, previously located in space next to another atom, effects the other atom when it is no longer next to it. So of course you wouldn't get a whole apple. You are thinking of it like "well this was a whole apple, I cut it half, so when time is reversed, I get a whole apple" but we're not reversing time at all, we are simply making the "mysterious fields" reverse, and having the molecules/atoms/electrons go back to how they were by inverting their processes. This is not actually time, as I understand it. Or if it is, then time doesn't exist, and is simply a function of common processes... I'll put it one further: If we put a concious being into the machine, even if we could assume that the thought processes, due to their electro-chemo nature, would reverse, can we assume that the "observer" aka the soul, aka the one thing science has yet to explain, although my personal theory is that of a hivemind, due to our cells acting like bees in their communication, (sorry for tangent) so this observer, is it affective by the field? If so, it must be a physical object, because the field is physical, yes? If this observer cannot be located in the world physically, or more accurately, if it lies in another dimension/plane of reality, would it then (due to its non-time bound nature) experience the "mind/thoughts" going backwards, but it would still "feel" like linear time was moving forward? I.e. would it feel normal, except instead of getting older, you'd get younger, and instead of thinking of answers after being asked questions, you'd think of answers and then create questions? I also want to know what would happen if you put one of these machines inside another, bigger machine of the same type. I can imagine afew outcomes, but I'm pretty sure the inner machine would cease to function. But if it didn't? Also are these machines powered externally? I.e. would the inner machine also need a generator hooked up to it, because if you had a chord leading into the field, where the power source was outside the field, and something was using the power inside the field, I dunno what would happen, but personally I wouldn't want to be standing too close.
  2. Heheh you guys might be a little more daring than me, I wasn't considering wearing a corn-starch baggie-vest and having my friend shoot me with a potato gun. Although that sounds fun... but I was actually thinking of putting one over a water melon or similar, and seeing how it damages the fruit. Interesting thought though, that a bayonet wouldn't be deflected due to the constant force. The potato guns are more fun the heavier the projectile is. Nerf balls basically pop, while a zuchinni or similar gives alot of recoil. Wonder what kind of projectile to test on the gel?
  3. Cool, I was scared to buy the aerogel due to cost, so corn starch will make a more fun thing to fiddle with Bullets generally move between 500fps, and 2000fps. They go higher of course, 3000fps isn't uncommon, and military guns can fire insanely fast. I would imagine encapsulating the stuff in some sort of pouch would be the best way to contain it. I'm going to use one of my friends home-made potato cannons on it, see what happens. They move pretty slow, 250fps or so, but are alot of fun to use.
  4. Aerogel. Thats what its called. It was nasa, I found a couple links: Gel article Gel for sale on ebay, 35$ for a wittle chunk Weirdness... would prolly cost thousands, but you "could" make a shield, (medieval style) out of the stuff, and it would protect you from bullets.. theoretically... tho really it needs to be quite thick to stop things... alas Spidersilk mail it is then.
  5. Hullo, new to the forums. I have plenty of ideas of my own which I will later ask you guys to pick at and appraise, but today I come to ask about the validity of a rumor I heard. Google failed me, so please help: I heard, probably on the radio, about new military armoring methods. Amongst other things, such as synthetic spider silk body armour, there was mention of "bulletproof gel". Gel that, when hit fast, solidified and became impenetrable. I vaguely remember something similar in chem class, we had this goop, you hit with a hammer, and its rock hard. So 2 questions: Anyone know about this bulletproof gel (military/nasa were mentioned) And: Is it different from that stuff in chem class, i.e. is it readily accessible? I would love to do some "experiments" involving a japanese longbow, and some arrows Thanks guys, (and gals!) Oly
