So here we go again, it is time to look at some funny graphs that make us question the way that we think about "facts" or "truths" that the media throws at us every day!

Earth is heating up lately, but so are Mars (http://www.space.com/mars/), Pluto (http://www.space.com/pluto/) and other worlds in our solar system (http://www.space.com/solarsystem/), leading some scientists to speculate that a change in the sun’s (http://www.space.com/sun/) activity is the common thread linking all these baking events.

http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-chapter6.pdf (statistical analysis of warming now compared to millions of years ago)

I'd give more, but I don't feel like it. This is only the tip of the ice berg when you research climate change or global warming or whatever you want to call it. It is real and we are mostly to blame for it. Denial of this fact is tantamount to denying evolution's progress on this planet's biosphere as a whole. If you don't believe anything I'm typing, I don't care. The data is readily available, all you have to do is look.

Actually no as the tech is still not advanced to help the economy in the next 20 years. Also a big part is the fact that we burn oil to make electricity. This is why it is so important for us to further develop nuclear in the long run.

On another note, has anyone ever thought of the real impact of moving away from the current tech that cars use...

Think about it, yes it will be much much cheaper to drive but what industries will suffer as a result? The "evil" oil companies or other industries that provide thousands of jobs to hard working Americans?

What do you do if you want a faster car? Well today there are thousands of companies making products that will do just that. If all the cars were electric how many turbos and super chargers could people use... NONE. What abut new exhaust, intakes, computers, throttle bodies? American businesses make all of these parts they install these parts locally they higher professionals to design them. Think of car stereo systems, it may seem logical that they would be easy on an electric engine but they will eat too much power. On a normal car you just add more alternators. On a hydrogen car you would need more fuel cells and something tells me that such a thing costs a crap load more money. On top of that it would significantly reduce the range of your car. Current cars millage is not really effected by the addition of an alternator.

I could go on, but the point is that any major paradise shift has MANNY unintended consequences that must be investigated before action is taken and that there is no single thing that we can 100% move to that will not adversely effect us.

Granted Cold Fusion was all but disproven do to their inability to replicate the "original results" who's to say 20 years from now that wont be the case?

As for the time travel crap, isn't that something to do with particle acceleration things scientists are working on now?

D1lD0
08-01-2008, 09:31 AM
Something like that. I'm definately not qualified to explain it. TBH I originally seen it on the Discovery Channel (lol). They said something along the lines of if you can accelerate an object to a high enough velocity its actually possible to take a short-cut through time. I think its more like as you're traveling at that speed you're not actually going anywhere but in a full circle but as you're on the trip time slows down for you as everything else around you progresses as normal. This only applies to traveling FORWARD through time, as they cant find any evidence to say that going backwards in time is even possible using any means. Like I said that was just my interpretation of what I saw. If you want a more detailed/accurate description I'd say google it.

08-01-2008, 01:02 PM
The thing I was talking about is something they have been doing recently. Something about creating black holes with a particle accelerator. There working on making them sustainable. Some crap about that if they can generate self made black holes it can make light bend into itself in a circle and something about that deals with one of the theorys of time travel. IDK. I have no clue on how it all works.

08-01-2008, 06:22 PM
Ah yeah I've heard about that too. I even seen a show about what would happen if the black holes became uncrtollable, it was filmed in a "what if" type of way similar to how they did that one series about the super volcano beneath yellowstone erupting. It ended with the world collapsing on itself or something lol

The cold fusion was a claim made involving a glass of water. It was assured that cold fusion occurred in water the rules of quantum mechanics proved that creating fusion without heat is impossible.

The most basic principle of time travel is to get a very dense object traveling really fast in a circle. It it is dense and fast enough then it can fold timespace into itself because of the gravitational field it would produce. If you could then move inside of this tube you could exit it at points that occurred at different times however it is only possible to enter or exit the tube at a time in which the loop existed. In other words you could only travel back to the first occurrence of this phonomonon.

Another technicality is that you can in theory travel faster and slower in time based on the amount of gravity present. This is why time stops near points of universal singularities. As the gravity becomes infinitely massive time slows down infinitely. When you fly in a plan time literally moves faster than when you are on the ground. The further away from a central force of gravity you are the faster time moves. So yes this does mean that by moving to Florida old people live longer b/c they are at see level and time moves slower than it does at higher altitudes. But than again we are talking about really really small numbers here so do not start looking for wrinkles every time you get off a plain.

No, that device is supposed to see if there are more than 4 dimensions, it is also going to test our ability to produce a black hole. In addition it could locate the god particle, I should also not that there is actually a possibility that it could destroy the universe and no I am not joking. As a result of some of these (especially the god particle) it has been delayed b/c of lawsuits.

Some info from the internets:


does anyone know what a Large Hadron Collider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider) is? Personally I have no idea but apparently scientists are building one in Switzerland and it might be able to create black holes. Wikipedia doesn't seem too worried about it, but I am. Shouldn't there be laws preventing something like that? All I'm saying is that if the world ends because of some Swiss Large Hadron Collider, I'm gonna be super pissed. Solving String Theory just isn't worth the apocalypse.


The LHC is designed to take large hadrons (such as protons and neutrons), accelerate them to 99.999999% of the speed of light in the collider, smash them together to allow CERNoids (http://public.web.cern.ch/Public/Welcome.html) to study the detritus. … uh, wait just a minute…perhaps they meant that they plan to take regular hadrons and smash them together in a large collider … it’s so confusing.


And the (potentially) bad news is that there is a vanishingly small, aka teentsy weentsy in technical terms, chance that Large Hadron Collider could destroy Earth. How so? The physics of TeV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeV) colliders like LHC predicts that they should produce about 1 mini black hole per second (http://cerncourier.com/main/article/44/9/22) even after allowing for the effects of Voloshin Suppression (http://www.citebase.org/fulltext?format=application%2Fpdf&identifier=oai%3AarXiv.org%3Ahep-ph%2F0201228). The good part of the bad news is that these BHs will have a very short life span, on the order of 10^-26 seconds and so will evaporate almost instantaneously. Some have estimated that the chances of planetary destruction at about 10^-40 (http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyID=2006-09-07T133759Z_01_L07717210_RTRUKOC_0_US-SCIENCE-UNIVERSE.xml&pageNumber=1&imageid=&cap=&sz=13&WTModLoc=NewsArt-C1-ArticlePage1) … which is reassuringly low.


Associated with this Higgs field would be Higgs particles, which could be produced by the collisions in the accelerator. One physicist has called the Higgs particle the "God Particle."
A few non-scientists have been worried that physicists are getting a little too close to god for comfort. They're worried that this experiment could destroy the Earth, because one possibility is that the machine will make miniature black holes. De Rujula describes miniature black holes as particles of extraordinary density compared to usual objects.
He says black holes would certainly be interesting, because they would be evidence for extra tiny dimensions of space-time. But he doesn't think they are likely to appear. And if they do, they'll be harmless.
"Those black holes will not be dangerous ones of science fiction that eat up everything," De Rujula promises. "Being so small they sort of break into pieces."
Less of a long shot is the idea that the collisions will produce things like the "dark matter" particles that physicists are confident they see affecting the motion of galaxies. They have seen the effects of dark matter, but they have never known what the particles actually are.



On 21 March, 2008, a complaint requesting an injunction to halt the LHC's startup was filed by a group of seven concerned individuals against CERN and its American collaborators, the US Department of Energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Department_of_Energy), the National Science Foundation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Science_Foundation) and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_National_Accelerator_Laboratory), before the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_H awaii).[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider#cite_note-SNBC2008.2F03.2F27-15)[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider#cite_note-CourtFilings.26Dockets-23) Following the publication of the LSAG report,[20] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider#cite_note-LSAGreport-19) the US Government called for summary dismissal of the suit against the government defendants.

Also if you would like to help:


The LHC Computing Grid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC_Computing_Grid) is being constructed to handle the massive amounts of data produced by the Large Hadron Collider. It incorporates both private fibre optic cable links and existing high-speed portions of the public Internet, to get data from CERN to academic institutions around the world.
The distributed computing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing) project LHC@home (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC%40home) was started to support the construction and calibration of the LHC. The project uses the BOINC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing ) platform to simulate how particles will travel in the tunnel. With this information, the scientists will be able to determine how the magnets should be calibrated to gain the most stable "orbit" of the beams in the ring.

Cold Fusion is dead. It has no basis in scientific study anymore. No theories have produced even a modicum of results in the field, and it doesn't look like we'll ever see any. It is already in the heap of failed theories for 99.99% of theoretical physicists. Hot fusion is doable, but we are still at least 15 years away from it even being done correctly at the ITER plant in France. Even then if it succeeds, we probably won't see mass production of the ITER reactor until we're almost dead.

Our best hope right now to relieve the environment of its woes is cheap, well made fission reactors in combination with solar panels all over the fucking place. GE and several other companies already have tons of very solid reactors they are able to market to anybody that has the money and the patients to deal with the government. We really haven't built any new reactors since the 70's, and the government makes it extremely difficult to do so. This needs to change if we're to make any sort of progress. Wind power and solar are not enough by themselves to help us now.

It is a device that will use electricity to split an H2O molecule into H and O while using very little power.

Unfortunately the tech for this is way, way, way far out and the cost still to high. To run the solar needed for a 300K home in GA in the summer you would need like 80K with of solar to run with no reserve (before tax breaks). Also keep in mid that WE ALL pay those tax breaks so it is not like we are saving any money for the society as a whole. In other words the PPK is still way to high. Also the output is still DC from fulecells and from solar so you would need a converter also the generation is not ever 100% stable from either so investment in battries would still be needed to regulate the voltage. :smirk:

The Tegra 600 and Tegra 650 can run Quake 3 with AA at more than 35FPS
Display support for up to 1080p HDMI, WSXGA+ LCD, SXGA CRT, and NTSC/PAL TV-Out
Ten times smaller than Intel's Atom platform
The low power consumption of NVIDIA Tegra-based devices will allow for over 30 hours of HD video playback and over 130 hours of audio.
NVIDIA Tegra based devices like MIDs will be available later this year for $200-$250. The product will also end up in smartphones, multimedia players and GPS units. NVIDIA talks about devices with screen sizes ranging from 4" to 12" so we're not just talking about tiny devices here.

Climate change being blamed on hydrocarbon use is pure politics. Carbon Dioxide does not exert enough warming power to be causing the increases. If it did, the temperature differences in the southern hemisphere (where they are closer to the sun in the summer and farther in the winter) would be more drastic as time went on. Instead, they move on par.

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/globalwarming/ar4-fig-3-6.gif

The warming we're experiencing is more likely caused by deforestation. Trees grow by taking advantage of the temperature difference between the ground and air, thus removing heat from the air in the warmer months and even increasing the temperature of the air in the colder months. Now, imagine billions of trees slowly disappearing over the course of two hundred years, not being replaced, each removing 0.00001 degrees from the local air and you'll see how it compounds.

http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange2/current/lectures/deforest/deforest.html

On top of this, they also believe the loss of forests causes air humidity to rise from sea level faster, allowing more water vapor into the upper atmosphere and trapping more heat beneath.

Why isn't this issue pushed? Because it would take centuries to fix and humanity tends to be very short-sighted.

Oh, and CUDA's awsome. Wish I didn't buy these ATI 3850s. Damn my short-sightedness.

Yea, It can cut down encoding time by 1/10'th. Waiting on the new driver set, wanna fool around with the added in hardware physics that are finally going to be enabled. Cant wait till they actually start rolling out applications that take advantage of the proccesing power that CUDA brings. There rediculously fast!

I agree that the trees play a role but the fact is that the current trend is very clearly shown to be caused by the sun with an error of only a few percent. The current trend is thus a direct result of more energy being released upon the earth and at the same time a reduction in could formation as a result of increases in solar wind. In other words trees are currently playing virtually no role in present worming trends, possibly even less of a role than humans. Also the largest source of plant life is in the ocean, if you were to remove every tree of the earth we would be fine just as long as you left the oceans alone. The gas output from the ocean vs trees alone is like the difference between the size of Luxembourg and the sun. Also remember that another problem with global warming is that the earth has cool for almost 10 years. I should also note that the temp readings taken are mostly from land only and rarely include much of the oceans where the majority of the earth's surface is. In addition to this, many official US temp record locations have been found to be in major code violation and thus are totally useless. (who would have thought that if you put a temp sensor next to an air conditioner it might be a bit hotter all of a sudden)
