oma Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 does the black hole absorb light? or does it not allow light to escape? :wink: I'm reading about light cones right now.

Rick Brewster Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 When sending information we could do like a mail man service, put a black hole in front of a rocket with your usb-stick attached to it with your message on it. And then shoot the rocket. So anytime you check your e-mail, or anytime Picard opens a channel to Starfleet at earth, he's really sending a rocket-propelled USB stick? Every single time? What you're describing works more for something like an interstellar postal service, not interstellar ... AT&T.

oma Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 yes I picked up that book yesterday. It is a much easier format to understand than his first book. I'm also awaiting "The Book of Numbers" by Peter J Bentley (second down on the wait list). I also picked up a book on the Quantium Ten. Its more biographical and an excellent read. "absorb" yes I was actually questioning what Boude said. Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vista? Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I've got an idea for Firefox tab extension but being me, there's a chance that it's hidden somewhere in the world but it does exist. And even if it didn't exist, for me to make such a think would be rather hard as I can't extension code at all. But more importantly, I actually used my imagination for once. :shock: Basically, when a tab loads, there is that throbber thing which is constantly turning. But what if instead of it just turning, it turned the more of the page loaded? Similar to the circular throbber-ish circle on Google Chrome when you are downloading a file. I might even make a PDN prototype but now I seem to be left with the job of doing my brothers homework for him. :x PS: Sorry if my explanation was hard to understand.

Simon Brown Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 for me to make such a think would be rather hard as I can't extension code at all. Extensions are written mainly in XML and Javascript, so it's not that complicated if you know JS. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Extensions/Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer_World14 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Since we are talking about space and stuff, that reminds me of two movies I recently saw.

david.atwell Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Whoa, three mods online all at once. How'd this happen? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing works more for something like an interstellar postal service, not interstellar ... AT&T. Actually when Picard opens a channel he would have to shoot and receive about 16 rockets per second (What the average framerate?) to talk to Starfleet. Well let's take the internet: Your PC is linked to other PC's by a wire, what goes through the wire? Yes, electrical current, actually millions of no current or some current signals (the mail men), don't you think the guys who invented the computer heard from other scientist:"That would take thousands of signals". All we have to do is downsize the rockets and find put a bluetooth thing on the rockets so you won't have to put all those usb-sticks in one PC, that would take a lot of work. Also a central place of information in every solar system would save some time (sending a rocket from one galaxy to another could take a few seconds). Also if we would be able to create a wormhole, why wouldn't we be able to upsize it and send our spaceship through, without planting a black hole in front of it? PS: Didn't really thought that light-absorption stuff through, you're right about that. And remember we're just speculating.
