Any Trekkee's out there?

the bussard ramscoops are also shown.

 

[Michael74]

Ah yes, Bussard ramscoops to collect deuterium for combination with anti matter inside dilithium crystals. Very astute of you to note that.

those are real and can be used for ion engines. they were designed by the man named Robert Bussard. he called them the Bussard ram scoop. though not red in color. its hydrogren. deuterium is an isotope in nuclear reactions and occurs natural in the ocean.

 

[Michael74]

Yes, but Robert wanted to use collected deuterium in a proton-proton fusion reaction to power near light speed interstellar flights.. Robert miscalculated the quantity of hydrogen in interstellar space. Using correct hydrogen concentrations, calculations reveal that bremsstrahlung losses from compressing protons to fusion densities is greater than the power that can be produced. Some postulate that a modified CNO cycle ramjet may work, but no one ever built one of these devices,. No one has even built a working earth based fusion reactor.

Scotty, of course, would never use fusion on board the Enterprise. Fusion doesn't generate enough energy to power warp drives. Only anti matter drives will work in sub space.

fusion couldn't but in reality neither anti-matter can work to power anything as it takes more to make anti-matter to work , neither is fusion power sustainable

slip stream or stargate's hyperdrive are way faster then standard warp travel. hyperdrive's on sg1/sga/sgu were galaxy, universe, or intergalactic. never mind the stargate system itself. which were a series of wormholes artificially created.

the fusion reactors powered impulse drive. execlesior had six of those for that job versus enterprise refits, and a's 4 reactors.

The blue thingy resembles a warp nacelle housing a gravimetric field displacement manifold.

A who did what it?

 

[jasonc]

A who did what it?

warp drive nacelles. when they are online they appear blue in color. warp engines don't move the ship they fold space close to you. that , of course, depends on which manual you use.

Oh. Glad you cleared that up for me lol.

Yes, the star gates are much better, but Star Fleet doesn't know how to use naquadah to build them. The Lanteans' technology is centuries ahead of Star Fleet. Only Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter can unravel the mystery.

you didn't need naquadah to build one. the tollen built theres without it. however, I think slip stream isn't that much slower then most hyperdrives. probably as fast as the goauld mother ships. there isn't any speed chart to compare

 

[jasonc]

Its not you that I hate, cardassian, its what I became because of you

chief miles O'Brien. if you understand ptsd that episode "the wounded" is really a good example of it. I never saw the full depth of that episode until I watched that one again after my time in war.

PTSD is no joke. At least the army is getting better at recognizing it, and treating it. During WWII, 200 days of combat was the limit for most troops before PTSD became heavy duty. Better conditions at the bases has extended that time somewhat, but almost everyone gets PTSD if they are in combat long enough. In Iraq and Afghanistan its mostly NCOs who are most at risk, since they tend to serve multiple tours.

Everyone is different though. Some people can serve multiple tours with no problem, and others get PTSD after a few days of heavy combat. Troops should learn to recognize the symptoms, and get help if they need it. The all volunteer army today is better at treating it.

If Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is related to something prior to my joke post, I was not linking (or melding, as Spock would say) the two together. I just thought of a better catch phrase than the one I posted with this picture before but the edit time limit already expired. My joke had nothing to do with PTSD.

It's okay. I am often misunderstood.

I have been working on a theory (actual science) about Gravity.

Most objects in the universe of any mass beyond the sphere forming amount (depending on composition of the mass [solid or gaseous] ) are curved. Space is curved. The theory is the mass of the object by its very existence presses against (displaces space like a floating object does water). And when the mass is large enough to be curved, its displacement affects the curvature of space and space essentially pushes back in the same curve vector. A push of war, if you will. Space being the greater force and the effect of this war is what we know as gravity right down to the molecules of everything in that zone.

Thoughts?

The tours were longer in ww2
Yet less suicides

That basically reiterates gravity using Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, a theory that's been more or less standard since Einstein published it in 1915. How do you relate it to quantum mechanics' current Standard Model, which explains 3 out of the 4 fundamental forces (the black sheep being gravity)? Are we any closer to explaining gravity using particle physics, rather than Relativity?

Does the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson (God's Particle) help? We believe that all massive particles attain their mass by interaction with the Higgs Field, and mediated through the Higgs Boson. So the Standard Model explains mass, but gravity itself is still no-where to be seen. Is there a connection?
