      Where is that? I haven't been using Imageshack very long.

          Or - put it in one of the new spoiler tags (which you can hide [IMG] with), with a warning that it contains a stretch screen picture.

          As for putting a note in the X-Treme guide ... good idea, but if you want a mod to sticky it, ask them in the ask the mods thread (that's how I got all the duplicate 9th Chevron and Iris threads merged and stickied).

          Great idea for a thread btw.

              Eureka..!!!

              I don't have time right now, (I'm on my lunch break) but I finally figured out what has to be done to open a hyperspace window. I also figured out what a hyperspace corridor is in relation to 'normal' space time. It also explains why hyperspace is sometimes referred to as a 'slip' stream. It ALSO explains why mass causes gravity (in a general sense anyways). I feel like I just hit a homerun out of the park..! I'll give you more details later on.

              It is really very cool...! (or at least I think so)

              It explains so much, that it may take a while. Also, I'm going to need to make some visuals on my computer to add to it. This is gonna be great..!

                  Well, keep in mind, this thread is also for S&T discussion. Only the first few pages will be critical for ease of use, as far as the Concordance part of this thread is concerned. The later pages (about where we are now) are for inquiries of the newbie posters, and discussion between us regulars about anything. An inquiry (to us directly) by a newbie will be isolated events, and there won't be any need for anyone to go through those posts or pages to search for their questions. Beyond the first few pages, this thread may grow as large as it could get, and it won't make much difference. The reference part of this thread will remain at the first couple of pages. Like I said at the first, I will continuously update those first few posts with relevant information and threads. Nothing that is posted on this end of the thread will make any difference.

                  So the same goes for you; you are free to post whatever you like at this end of the thread. It could be about your virtual series, a book you read, a new piece of technology, or whatever. Remember, this is also a 'hangout' thread too... On the other hand, if this thing I came up with (not really new, just a different way of explaining old ideas) reaches a point, that I think it warrants its own thread, I'll be sure to do that. I assure you that I'm not using this thread as an excuse to not make new threads...

                    Ok well id like to put this to you, its actually really depressing:
                    According to some the world, due to the effects of global warming, as a result of our misguided models due to global dimming will be almost 90% uninhabitable by the year 2200.
                    Also due to the advances in medicine the first 200 year old has already been born according to some.
                    That means that there is are generation alive right now who will live to see the end of life on Earth.
                    Isnt that a cheery thought

                      Oy..! Your right. That IS depressing. Good thing I don't believe it. I'm naturally more optimistic about the 'sturdiness' of our planet, than that. As far as anyone knows for SURE, Global Warming MAY, just be a part of the natural cycle of the planet. I'm sure we humans aren't helping too much, but I think Momma Nature has more brawn than some people give her credit for. On the other hand, if your right, then maybe I'm glad I'll be dead by then.

                      As to the 200 year old thing... hey... I'd like to live that long..! As optimistic as I am though... I doubt that I will. More correctly, I'd like to live that long IF I could live that long and have a reasonably good living condition. If I'm going to live that long and be a vegetable. Mmmm... I don't know about that.

                        Oh i think the planet will recover, but i doubt well be part of that recovery i think there are two options for the outsome of our time on the planet:
                        * an ice age or other totally devastating climatic shift, i think on a long term scale "the day after tomorrow" is very accurate. That the earths climate will sort iteself out but well get wiped out in the process
                        * the planet becomes totally uninhabitable, and basicly becomes a desert planet, like mars...explains:
                        we know that if the greenland ice cap melts, which it will do in 30 years taking in to account global dimming and warming models, the sulphur banks in the arctic will be relased containing 100million times the amount of sullphur ever produced since the advent of the industrial revolution, enough to literally burn the planet's atmosphere and turn the globe in to giant fireball, this will happne over a few years but will happen enough to do this.
                        In 60 years the rainforests will catch fire putting enough CO2 in the atmosphere to totally change earth climate, britain will be a desert within the century.
                        what scares me as a member of the generation who will have to deal with this directly ( and as a student studying this at A-level) ,is that we dont have the technolgy or the resources to stop this.
                        If we take away pollution the world will freeze due to global dimmin, and if we take away Co2 emitions the worlds population will be crippled due to no power, heat or light...

                          A factor not usually considered is human inginuity. Humans are very adaptable, but can get rather panicky and stupid in large groups.

                          Of course, if we reduced emmission levels now we won't need to adapt later, and we would avoid the loss of life and sociological fallout of climate change. We really should be taking more care of our planet. I can't see this coming anytime soon though ...

                          If all else fails, we can leave our planet. Hey, we had the technology to do that in the 60s - nuclear pulse propulsion. The US project ('Orion') was dropped because of an anti-nuclear testing treaty between the US and USSR. Problem is finding another earthlike world - terraforming would be the only way, but is only theoretical at the moment ...

                          I'm optimistic about the future, but rather critical of the present

                          Humanity has such potential - don't mess it up now ...

                            Homesapians are adamptable yes, humanity isnt...For global warming to have no further detrimetnal effect, all CO2 emitions, all NO4 emitions and all CFC emitions have to stop by 2010, thats 4 years to develop and alternative means of power.
                            Seas levels are goign to rise at the level we are at now, this will reduce the amount of land by ALOT, it will cut of nearly all flat, arable land in UK making poulation density and food shortages painfull.
                            Stopping by 2010 will cut out the worst of it, actually prolong it to be honest, the ice caps will melt but when.
                            When is the question, at any rate, even if we had stopped last year or in 2000 the world climate will change within the next 100 years. the planet has been around for 3.4 billion years and we ruin it in 300, humans > industrial revolution > selfish and ignorant nations > destruction of planet, and me havign to watch.

                              I agree, it should be taken as a serious threat. The governments and corperations of the world are ignoring the problem. I still want to be optimistic though

                              ORION:



                              ^ This thing could be built with a 60s level of technology

                              It could carry a payload equivalent to a small city

                              Approximate velocity would be around 10% of the speed of light

                              Presumably it would include a huge, spinning (to produce artificial gravity) 'habitat' section where humans could live.

                                Mmm. I still don't buy the 'doomsday' scenario. I absolutely agree that humankind have done damage to the planet, but I don't think it has been THAT extreme. To quote Dr. Ian Malcom on Jurassic Park... "Life will find a way..." I agree that the long term prognosis doesn't look good, but I also think that the scientist on our planet still have a LOT of research and studying to do before they can make any global claims definitively. Also, nations all over the world have begun making changes (even the U.S., despite the whole Kyoto thing) to protect the environment. I think more environmentally-friendly methodologies that are beginning to be used, and developed will give the planet a strong outlook over the long time. We have no idea to what extent the polar ice caps will melt, or precisely what effects the extra water in the oceans will ultimately have.

                                In short, I will remain optimistic about the future of mankind and our planet.
