Thanks bro. That's what happens when you have a monkey bugging the living crap out of you while you are trying to type something. You will be experiencing that in the next few years for yourself. ;)
If I only had more time but I do plan on adding a feature that allows users to edit their comments for a set amount of time. Let's say 3 minutes. I'm very close to updating the notification system on the site and will put that on my list of things to do along with preventing duplicate comments. ;)
It also covers time dilation. The closer you get to the speed of light the slower time passes for you. You could take a trip at 99.999% the speed of light that would appear to take 100 years on earth to complete but to you only four and a half years would pass.
That is not to say we couldn't possibly find ways to manipulate space/time to travel to distant stars...
No I haven't read that. I'll have to take a look. It's just hard for me to accept that there are regions out there that we can't reach. Maybe it's arrogance.
Mass increases exponentially as you approach the speed of light. Therefore, your energy requirements would also increase exponentially as well. At the speed of light your mass is infinity.
Did you read Steven Hawking's "A Brief History of Time"? It covers this really well.
I would consider ending payments to system. This would have to be after I was paid back every penny with interest that I had put into system over the years. The reason I would consider this is because the government has no control over the private federal reserve bank who collects money from us via IRS. The bank has no transparency and can do whatever they want and spend money on whatever war or foreign aid they want. You could see this in the banking bailouts and current 3 wars we are in. They create the money out of thin air and send it to the treasury with interest repayment due back or they send it directly and secretly overseas to any bank with their little hands open like Greece. God knows what other secret deals they do behind close doors. Our own government cannot even audit the damn thing. IN a nut shell why should I trust the government with my money when they dont even have power over our central bank. You know what happens when you dont pay the armed colletion arm of the Federal Reserve! You get in trouble! What happens when our treasury and the NON-federal NON-reserve create more money than what they get from the physical economy? They just create more out of the clouds and raise the debt ceiling which in return gives us all the hidden tax of inflation. They than have the ballskies to ask us to cut social security after years of putting their hands into the SECURE social security fund. Dont forget though, foreign aid and wars are more important than grandmas medical care and retirement. PUKE ME OUT!
I see kids on them and I think "How ridiculous" but I would rather have a safe child than a hurt or dead child. I am the type of person (I have no children) to watch all of the kids when we are out with friends who have kids. I just feel that parents never keep a good enough eye on them, so I always feel I need to be watchful of who is where and doing what. Just my nature. I probably wouldn't use one, if I had a child but see no harm or abuse in it. And this coming from a guy who was tied to a tree with rope with my siblings (I am a triplet) when I was young. We lived on a major highway and had no fenced in yard and mom had too much going on to always be sure one of us didn't get in the road. Of course, today, that would definitely be considered abuse. LOL
