Kocken926 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Having weight means you can't travel at the speed of light, not having weight means you can't NOT travel at the speed of light. My method uses timetravel, however. That way I could arrive at a place before the photons that bounced of me earlier arrives there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Cold fusion and Muon Catalyzed fusion are two different things. Muon Catalyzed fusion has been performed multiple times, and is a real thing, but it is (currently) not a viable source of energy. Cold fusion (which usually involves palladium as a catalyst) has never been duplicated, or if it has, it has turned out to be a scam or experimental error. The "black box" is not necessarily cold fusion, as its inventor has never revealed how it works. Sorry, my definition of "Cold Fusion" up to now was simply a nuclear reaction happening at a low temperature, even room temperature. This is why I considered Muon Catalyzed fusion as such, but after a bit of research I can see I was wrong. However, IIRC, Rossi did say his cells produced a certain quantity of gamma radiations. I'm not sure it was proven, but that's what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazDude2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, but if I say the moon is made of cheese, and all my tests indicate this, are you going to take me at my word or are you going to call me a nutjob and then write off my tests as lies?

No because we can provide quantifiable proof that the moon is not made of cheese. If we could not, we would have no reason to doubt your hypothesis. That is where the difference lies.

If you can't prove your tests are legit, yes, we can call you a nutjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okamikk Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Peanuts... especially peanut butter. Let's stop with this derail now. Anyway, what about superconductors? If we could make some that worked above above 0K we would have some more time to get better energy sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could make some that worked above above 0K we would have some more time to get better energy sources Or just have flying cars. Since 99% of fuel is used overcoming friction, If we used hypothetical room-temperature superconductors, we could cut fuel use by a good 50% just y making cars float over them on a cushion of magnetic energy. Same concept as maglev trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, our current automobile propulsion systems are dependent on friction, and, the cushion of electromagnetic energy would only be applicable if cars drove along rails life trains (they don't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-C Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, I don't know about the rest of the club, but one of my hobbies is being a quite talented cook amateur. But this one did become a food discussion without my intervention... Maybe the Great Spaghetti Meatballs Monster God is infusing us with his godly thoughts, making us more inclined to talk about food? You got the name wrong: Great Spaghetti Meatballs CARROT CAKE Monster God, and my theory is that he rides a great bacon in the sky which releases an aroma, this aroma will make us talk about food. edit: I hate the idea of flying cars, how about a teleporter? It breaks up your body into molecules, and those into atoms, Transports the atoms through a long tube and assembles the atoms back into molecules and those back into your body in another place. mod alarm!!!: Hide the trolling!
