Space stuff...

Who thought them up then?

They simply exist. You mean who discovered them?

 

[Highway Man]

You think that we could just unmake them the same?

Lol.

Your outlook on everything is negative, even down to the laws of physics.

Your outlook on everything is negative, even down to the laws of physics.

The 'laws of physics', are decided to match what we observe, to explain how we think, and believe things work - only until we find something which doesn't quite fit, then we change the laws to suit.

Yes but with Noseall he just closes his eyes to everything regardless.

Any good that film? (Hail Mary) Might have a watch tomorrow

I watched it last week. It's very good, although my Mrs hyped it up too much before hand (she'd already read the book) and I was expecting it to be spectacular.

I think you are explaining TV.
You could not be further from the truth regards physics.

I respect physics correct.

Surely we (scientists not me ) are just reverse engineering whats there? How do we know we have it right.

As probably one of the leading scientists on here in astro physics, the answer is, we don't know..
Think on !!!! [TM]

Surely we (scientists not me ) are just reverse engineering whats there? How do we know we have it right.

In technical terms we don't know. We just get very confident that the way we're describing the universe is accurate.

Gravity, just a theory. Quantum Physics, just a load of theories, the big bang just a theory. Laws of physics, just theories.

All supported by huge amounts of experimental and theoretical evidence, but still theories.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

We observe, we experiment, we decide what theory fits, we test the theory, and if it works - we accept it.

How do we know we have it right.

We don't, often we get it wrong. History is littered with theories, which were later proven to be wrong.

I can imagine in the future that scientists will be able to alter our molecular structure and possibly remove the things that enable us to live on earth with gravity, possibly removing our skeleton and replacing it with muscles that allow us to cope with weightless environments better? It may sound a bit far fetched now but who knows what will be possible in the next 50 years.

Or you could just make the space ship spin to create centripetal force as artificial gravity. It would probably be better than having your spine removed.

 

[motorbiking]

if you live in a world where a customer asks - is it possible to do xyz? the simple answer is no, the better answer is, how much money do you want to spend,

Of course if you know the customer doesn't have the money, then you say no and get on with digging the trenches.

 

[Dec27]

I don't get the excitement about the moon pass. They did the same thing in 1968.

Faked it ?

 

[warey4life]

Faked it ?

China or Russia would be the first to point out any fakery.
