How small does the earth have to be before I am ripped to shreds?
No, this is not a suicide note.  Hardly.  Let’s suppose that the Earth maintained the same mass, but it was to shrink at a constant rate.   As you may know, as the density of the earth increases, the magnitude of tidal forces […]

After watching this documentary by the BBC called “Parallel Universes,” I have some questions that I felt were unanswered by the documentary.  I’m sure that in order to completely understand the theory I would need a firm grasp on the mathematics and physics that are at work here, and that would require me to change […]

Astrophysicist Steven Hawking said at a lecture in Hong Kong Tuesday that the ability for the human race to colonize space would be essential for the survival of the human race because Earth could be hit with a disaster that would make life on this planet impossible. Hawking suggests that a Moon colony can […]

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has released a paper that goes into further detail about the theory behind the Heim hyperdrive.
Here is the beginning of the abstract:
This paper is the third one in a series of publications, describing a novel and revolutionary space propulsion technique, based on a unified field theory in […]

A Tokamak fusion device–an “artificial sun” is going to be built in China in March or April, and if experiments are successful, it will be the first device of its kind to work.
Now let’s see if the 100 million degree Celsius temperature can be generated–much less contained–so that deuterium and tritium can be fused together […]

Is instant communication of a particle’s characteristics possible? According to Quantum Entanglement, a particle pair can be separated by any distance, and information about one particle can be instantly communicated to the other particle, and, as a result, the other particle can react to the information:
To illustrate, if an entangled photon meets a vertical […]

More on the Heim Hyperdrive

An article by Damn Interesting talks about the theories that German physicist Burkhard Heim proposed that would unite the macrosopic world of Einstein and Relativity and the microsopic world of Quantum Theory. Those ideas could be used to create a propulsion system that would allow for hyperspace travel between two points. The propulsion […]

The US government is looking into a hyperspace “Z Engine” that would create a magnetic field that would be powerful enough to propel a spacecraft in another dimension.
The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to […]

An article argues that everything in the universe, including humans, are connected together by this symphony of frequencies and vibrations. It sounds a lot like string theory, but it seeks to explain the supernatural instead of the natural.
The Field offers a radically new view of the way our world and our bodies work. The human […]
