Do you mean something like this? http://www.mrheater.com/product.aspx?catid=42&id=23 I have one, it is great for outdoors and in my garage. The one I have runs on propane but it could easily run on methane, it has no flame, just a very hot radiant beam of heat.

New Reactor Paves the Way for Efficiently Producing Fuel from Sunlight Sossina Haile and William Chueh stand next to the benchtop thermochemical reactor used to screen materials for implementation on the solar reactor. (Credit: Courtesy of Caltech) ScienceDaily (Jan. 19, 2011) — Using a common metal most famously found in self-cleaning ovens, Sossina Haile hopes to change our energy future. The metal is cerium oxide -- or ceria -- and it is the centerpiece of a promising new technology developed by Haile and her colleagues that concentrates solar energy and uses it to efficiently convert carbon dioxide and water into fuels. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110119102746.htm

That's a good question but I think StringJunkey answered it pretty good. The Great Attractor, which is what the area everything is moving toward is called, is something so far away we cannot see it but it is massive and the gravity still attracts us even while space is expanding all around the galactic clusters. No one really knows what it is or why we are going toward it. Space can still expand in all directions and still be moving more in one direction than others.

In a word... No... Neutron stars have outrageously strong magnetic fields, it's difficult to imagine just how strong they are, for me fiction often serves to illustrate this, Dragons Egg by Larry Niven contains a good description of what it would be like on the surface of a neutron star, the magnetic field would be so strong that some directions would be easier to travel than others due to the magnetic field actually being dense enough to prohibit matter from going through the field. This magnetic field is as dense as matter in some places, degenerate neutron matter at that. But light from within the star or from outside it are not bothered by the magnetic field but the gravity field can red shift the light in a big way.

The idea of space expanding has nothing to do with stoves or jumping men (I wonder how many others here have ever even seen a real "Hot" stove) Take two stoves, both are stationary in respect to each other, increase the space between them but don't move them, yes that's the idea, they get further apart even though both are stationary in relation to the space around them. The galaxies are not really moving in space, space is expanding between them.

I did see the guy who turned his skin blue, he looked like Papa Smurf...

Jim, please do not go to a chiropractor, if your problem is real go to a real doctor.

Is the OP asking about the effects of centrifugal force at the equator of a rotating planet? If so it is possible for a object to rotate fast enough for the effects of gravity to be canceled out by centrifugal force.

I'm on face book, so far no one has talked me into taking off my clothes (am I doing it wrong?) I use it to find and keep up with old friends, I also make new ones because i put a lot of my stuff (pics, stories) and people who find the stuff interesting share their stuff with me. i like it!

This is my understanding of it, space/time is expanding, the objects embedded in space/time are not moving or expanding. I don't mean that nothing moves but in relation to the apparent expansion of the universe the objects are not moving the same way an accelerated object moves. No acceleration is being applied to the galaxies in the same way as a bullet or a rocket.

I disagree with that assumption, besides the totally misinterpreted idea of everything exploding into something i think brane theory will abolish our silly idea of a point big bang. If you are going to believe in the "big bang" then you need to believe in inflation to justify how big the universe is today, it doesn't mean anything is going faster than light, space it's self is expanding faster than light not the matter in it. Find the center of the surface of a sphere.... No center to the universe in the same way. Again, the galaxies are not moving away from each other, the space between them is expanding, there is a real difference.

Obtaining a license to own a gun should be at least as difficult as obtaining a drivers license. (personally I think it should be harder than it is to obtain a drivers license) You should at least be able to show some ability to use the weapon as well as be well schooled in the safety and legal aspects of owning a gun. A mental test of some sort is also reasonable but once you obtain that license you should be able to buy with minimal interference from the government.

Isn't it probable that to time travel you could only travel during the time the time machine exists? In other words if I made a time machine I could not visit my mom or dinosaurs because the time machine wasn't built yet...

I think the supernatural was mans first attempt to explain the natural world, it was totally unsuccessful, but it took a long time for humans to realize that there was no supernatural and actual observation and tests were the only way to know the natural world.

Why does me having a gun bother you so much? Why would you think owning a gun means going out to look for reasons to use it? Strawman it should be hard to obtain a gun, i won't deny that I know a lot of people who have grenades.

I have to apologize to D.H., I have researched Anthony Tate as throughly as I can and I cannot find any trace of him or any reason to believe he has anything to do with gaseous core reactors. Evidently I was taken to the cleaners on that one...

Georeactor... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georeactor

The Cherokee Nation had a very carefully worded treaty of non aggression with the USA, they had agreed to be allies with the USA. The treaties were ignored, my people were marched, men women and children, on foot halfway across the continental USA, in cold weather, to an area totally unfamiliar to the Cherokee, the few that made it then died due to not being able to feed themselves in a strange area they were not used to farming or hunting in. Your point is meaningless lemur, to have defied the orders of the government would have meant being shot on the spot by the commanders in charge. Your option was not a reasonable idea, besides the fact that most whites were too stupid to understand the Cherokee were not nomads like the Plains Indians, they hated the Cherokee because they were different, because the Cherokee lived on desirable land, not cotton land by the way, the Cherokee mostly lived in the mountainous areas.

I know the paint they use now is very slippery when it wet, that makes it very dangerous to motorcycles that attempt to stop at cross walks. In wet weather the combination of oil sheen on the road and the paint is like ice, it's not too bad for cars but it can cause a motorcycle to slide down even if you are sitting still... maybe the more reflective the paint is the more slippery it becomes?

Yeah, because of that my people were able to record their experiences on the trail of tears, most of the people died in that forced march, when our nation was taken from us by Andrew Jackson. Yeah, it was a fair trade i am sure... The native Americans were exterminated like animals, biological weapons were used, the native Americans who were left had their children taken from them so they could be forced to speak English, they cut their hair, made them dress as whites, took away their culture, destroyed the entire Cherokee Nation, not to mention the nomadic Native Americans cultures and tribes. The Native Americans were systematically denied their very lives because they were Native Americans, some because they weren't civilized enough, some because they were too civilized and occupied lands white people wanted but mostly just because they were not white. No lemur, it's not just a matter of perspective, it was quite real, quite horrible, and most of my people didn't survive the "Indian Wars" it was a war of extermination, of people, of cultures and a way of life.

yeah, all them damn immigrants from Europe, starving, illiterate, barely able to live. We teach them how to live here and they kick us off our land!
