As soon as I finished my midterm, I had a beer in my hand. A few hours later, went out to dinner, beer in my hand. Came home, beer in my hand.

I could get used to this. :)

Thanks for the birthday wishes, all!

Bwahaha! @ Shake with the cut-and-paste. What a crock!

Hey Shake, Let me write you a little something from my lab notebooks about these things I discovered that I like to call "wormholes".......


Wormholes are a hypothetical warped spacetime which are also permitted by the Einstein field equations of general relativity,[24] although it would be impossible to travel through a wormhole unless it was what is known as a traversable wormhole.
A proposed time-travel machine using a traversable wormhole would (hypothetically) work in the following way: One end of the wormhole is accelerated to some significant fraction of the speed of light, perhaps with some advanced propulsion system, and then brought back to the point of origin. Alternatively, another way is to take one entrance of the wormhole and move it to within the gravitational field of an object that has higher gravity than the other entrance, and then return it to a position near the other entrance. For both of these methods, time dilation causes the end of the wormhole that has been moved to have aged less than the stationary end, as seen by an external observer; however, time connects differently through the wormhole than outside it, so that synchronized clocks at either end of the wormhole will always remain synchronized as seen by an observer passing through the wormhole, no matter how the two ends move around.[25] This means that an observer entering the accelerated end would exit the stationary end when the stationary end was the same age that the accelerated end had been at the moment before entry; for example, if prior to entering the wormhole the observer noted that a clock at the accelerated end read a date of 2007 while a clock at the stationary end read 2012, then the observer would exit the stationary end when its clock also read 2007, a trip backwards in time as seen by other observers outside. One significant limitation of such a time machine is that it is only possible to go as far back in time as the initial creation of the machine;[26] in essence, it is more of a path through time than it is a device that itself moves through time, and it would not allow the technology itself to be moved backwards in time. This could provide an alternative explanation for Hawking's observation: a time machine will be built someday, but has not yet been built, so the tourists from the future cannot reach this far back in time.
According to current theories on the nature of wormholes, construction of a traversable wormhole would require the existence of a substance with negative energy (often referred to as "exotic matter") . More technically, the wormhole spacetime requires a distribution of energy that violates various energy conditions, such as the null energy condition along with the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions.[27] However, it is known that quantum effects can lead to small measurable violations of the null energy condition,[27] and many physicists believe that the required negative energy may actually be possible due to the Casimir effect in quantum physics.[28] Although early calculations suggested a very large amount of negative energy would be required, later calculations showed that the amount of negative energy can be made arbitrarily small.[29]

Hey...if there are any physics/mechanical engineering nerdy types around here

please explain Bernoulli's Principle.

I have gone to the How Things Fly gallery in Air and Space more times than I can count and elbowed countless little kids out of the way to play with the exhibit that demonstrates it and I still can't wrap my brain around it (hence my being a poor under-employed historian).

Is that the "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" theory? There are a couple of them and I always confuse the theorist.

I think what needs to be understood is ya'll know how happy you are with your positive reps? Well there are twice as many people that were unhappy, we had a group of posters the + each other on everything, and another group that( - )certain posters no matter what they posted, and we had a poster that registered 2 accounts so he could (+) rep each account, and everytime this above stuff happens the mods get PM's or we get request to delete accounts because of the neg reps or it spills over into the threads.
It was a good idea that did not work on this board, people know who the good posters are, its not a contest.
