Once again, Lawrence shows his ignorance of many things.  A few posts back, he accused the United States of starting wars to take over territory and steal the resources of other nations.

Well, I challenge him to name one time...just one, that the the US invaded another country and stole all of their resources and took their territory.  We have fought many wars but, did we claim Japan?  Germany? France? Denmark? Poland? as our territory?  No, we did not.  We just saved the world.

Iraq was said to be a war for oil.  Did we take the oil?  No, we did not.

I just wish Larry would learn some basic physics and, US history before he posts such nonsense.  He has been doing this for years and, even when corrected by facts, continues to do so.

He still thinks that a pendulum produces O.U.  Come on...really Larry?  He also thinks his Joule Thief circuits produce O.U. and has claimed as much.

There are other topics on here where he posted that pumping water up to a 4 story building produced O.U.  Of course, like all of the other topics, he was proven wrong by folks that know better.

Now he claims we in the US  have flying saucers that are kept secret from the rest of the world.  Larry, we don't need them, we have F-16's and F-35's, and F-14's, and F-104's.  We also have the Saturn 5 technology.  Those really work.  Flying saucers do not.

One more thing Larry, from a physics standpoint, IF we indeed have "aliens" visiting earth...even though it has been proven that the distances would be impossible to have overcome,....the question you should ask yourself is not "where are they from?"  It should be..."When are they from?"  they could be from 100,000 years in the future.  Not 250,000 light years away.

I still like you Lawrence even though we disagree on many things.

Earth to Vulcan in 30 minutes - a possible solution?

this little snippet that was found jammed in the office shredder by an employee of a commercial office cleaning company working at area 51 building 19 some time later after 5pm:
   
Well, I believe it has been stated that Vulcan is about 16 light-years away from Earth, so even if they were going at Warp 9 the entire time (which seems improbable, given what we've been told about travelling at warp speed), it still should've taken them at least three days to get there.

I guess we just have to conclude that in this timeline, Starfleet found a way to make Transwarp drive viable by the mid-23rd century (or something like that).

the shredder ate the rest of the top secret document, though we were able to piece together another damaged inter office memo:

I've often wondered about the proximity of different Federation and non-Federation planets. I get the idea that Klingons, Romulans, Vulcans, and humans are all pretty close together, but no one official has ever made a map, so it's impossible to be sure. One aspect of this question that fascinates me is the three-dimensional nature of everyone's location with respect to everyone else. One way the show made something seem far away was to situate events in the gamma quadrant or the delta quadrant, but there are places in the alpha quadrant that are immensely distant as well. I suspect that much of the alpha quadrant remains a mystery. Since star density and radiation increases as you approach the galactic center, the probability of life going inwards decreases. Indeed, most life must be concentrated in worlds whose stars have circular orbits around the galactic center and are in the outer fringe of the galaxy.


30 minutes to get there, it might take a while, if it is possible to be patient for 235 years until the mid 23rd century.

One thing that always fascinated me was....you are traveling in deep space...right?  Suddenly, you meet a Klingon Bird Of Prey ship head on.  Both your ship, and theirs, is facing right side up.  Right side up in relation to what?  How is it these ships are both oriented the same way when they meet?

I was always confused by this.

haha ya that is a good point.
a compass wouldn't be as useful.
they would have to somehow know spacial x y and also z axis planes for orientation along with using the constellations as a reference to which way is actually up, if there is supposed to be an upward position in space.
dammit jim, bill, i'm a doctor, not a scientist!

I hate history lessons.  But I thought there were Red Indians before someone took over their territory and stole their resources.  I still remembered that when I went to attend high school in England, their history books never mentioned opium.  The history teacher told us that England was a noble Nation and would never sell opium.  It was communist propaganda...


I took part in the rallies against the Vietnam War in the 1970's?  Was that my imagination?  Was USA so noble that the war was communist propaganda?


Do some Westerners talk about absolute military superiority so that no Nations dare a repeat of history? 


My personal conviction is that modern wealth is the quality and quantity of meaningful economic activities.  My house in Acton, Mass was developed from an apple farm.  The area was 40,000 sq. feet.  The house itself was over 3,000 square foot.  But its value is less than the 800 square foot condo I live in Hong Kong.


I do not think the Chinese people will ever dream of destroying their hard earn prosperity in risking any War.  If they want to be more prosperous, they can just do more 5 year plans and increase the quality and quantity of Meaningful Economic Activities.
