  1. No, these are details of the theoretical phase. You first must show that it works. If you can't provide calculations to show it works theoretically, there's no use in implementing small scale, let alone mass production.
  2. Because the choice between tossing them in a cell to be forgotten and killing them is a true dichotomy. Nice. Perhaps some actual rehabilitation is in order instead. Negative reinforcement does not work exactly the same on everyone; perhaps we should do some psychoanalysis to see what method of rehabilitation would be more apt to work well. What about soldiers? They kill often without remorse(counting kills as a competition, etc). How is their actions less violent than that of a person who kills once? It seems to me that it all comes down to whether or not you agree with their justification for their actions.
  3. I'm not sure you're being coherent here. Gravitation is a changing of the metric of spacetime due to the mass-energy density of the region. This is why light bends in a gravitational field. The only way I know to 'invert the values of this process' is to have enough light in one area(how your 'gravitational isolator', supposedly works) to appreciably increase the mass-energy density of that region. Unless you state a specific alternate mechanism, your description fits EXACTLY with my above calculations and is indeed trying to 'dry water by adding more water.' Again, how many lasers of what power ran at what duration does it take to eliminate the gravitational field in a 1m3 region? Show your work and explain why it would subtract rather than add to the local field. All actual calculations thusfar have shown that your process of light 'creating troubles' for the gravitational field means adding to the local field rather than subtracting from it. It is your claim to defend, and the burden of proof is upon you. We've done calculations for you EXACTLY how you state that this machine 'works'. Our calculations show that you are dead wrong.
  4. Yes.
  5. Are those who were enslaved and/or segregated using the affirmative action programs? So, you're saying they should have had the grandparents and great grandparents of the black students make the baked goods. Ok.
  6. I don't see how.

    How about an entry on application of odd variables? Why would we use them other than for pure mathematical enjoyment?

  8. I'm not sure why you want to lower the time of the laser run, but let's give it a go. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like your description is directly described by DH: lasers fed into a one-way totally reflective container. Assumptions: E=mc2(we're assuming the 'isolator' is stationary with respect to our reference frame). Plaser = 3TW (from DH's post. feel free to provide a more accurate number) 1TW=1012W W=J/s=kg(m2/s3) c=3x108m/s run time = 3s(again, feel free to adjust your definition of 'few') remote power source Let Pt=E=mc2 Work: P(t/c2)=m (3x1012kg(m2/s3))((3s)/(9x1016m2/s2))=m 10-4kg=0.1g=m So, a three second run of your 'gravitational isolator' results in an accumulation of mass equivalent to a tenth of a paperclip. How does that negate the gravitational field?
  9. Typically, species are defined in terms of a population's inability to produce viable offspring with a different population. How, then, do we define the species with regard to asexual creatures? Is it gross genetic difference? Phenotypical difference?
  10. Because "I'm gonna hurt you because you hurt me!" is a sentiment that fits in a civilized society. Perhaps a society of 3 year olds. Yet you've already said that jail is not a punishment. It's free room and board!
  11. Why punishment vice rehabilitation? Fixing whatever was wrong with them to cause the aberrant behaviour seems like a better option than eye for an eye. Also, what do you deem a fit punishment, then, for those that you don't think are 'evil' enough to kill?
  12. What if they don't see the killing of their victims as violent? It must be okay. So, by your logic, the offenders should NOT be killed. Hmm....something seems off

    Christmas

    Perhaps the commercial version instead.
  14. The blagahedron.
  15. Cut the scope of the mission to merely defensive and UN ordered. Cut the recruiting quotas and attrition will cut the people for you.
  16. I was assuming something like the mains for the power source(generator outside of the system under observation).
  17. So, you're saying there's even less energy involved....because THAT makes it work better.
  18. Also, wouldn't that ADD to the gravitational field in the vicinity of the bucket rather than subtract?
  19. How many lasers would it take to eliminate the gravitational field over a 1m2 area? Show your work.
  20. For inherent instability, yes; for physical unattainability of the required energy, no.
  21. Demanding things from the staff doesn't usually work well. You might want to be nicer and you might also want to follow our rules and etiquette guidelines. If you feel that swansont has treated you unfairly, you can contact a different staff member via Private Message so that they may analyze the situation and take any necessary action.
  22. Why did you ask to be banned if you like us so much you make a new account each day?
  23. The staff is not obligated to notify you of any action taken in regard to a report that you generate. The report button, afaik, simply generates a notification. Upon being notified, the staff will investigate(and deliberate) and, if needed, take action that they deem is necessary. You thinking a post violated our rules does not necessitate the staff thinking the same.
