Wormhole Travel impossible?

The real Universe cares nothing about what theory sounds the neatest. It is only what it is. I thought this was supposed to be a highly technical forum? If you just want to discuss science fiction and ignore science fact then I am sorry I ruined your fantasy.

Tenth Dimension

Real discussions on the possibility come from the result of some theories that allow or require more that 4 dimensions. These theories consist of rigorous mathematical equations. The mathematics alone determine if or how many extra dimensions are required. Even then these theories must undergo...

Wormhole Travel impossible?

The problem with talking about wormholes is that nobody knows or has any proof that they even exist. All there is are a number of theories whose mathematics allow for what are what collectively called wormholes. The wormhole in one theory might have completely different or contradictary...

Windows XP CDKEY/ Windows update question

How do you know that? I have two computers with XP Pro SP1. When I was ready to install SP2 on the two computers I just popped in the CD with SP2 and installed it. No key was required.

Can I use the Win98SE install floppy to get my PC to recognize a CD-ROM

If the Windows XP CD is an upgrade then keep the Windows 98 SE CD handy. If the drive does not have Windows 98 on it then it will ask you to prove you qualify for the upgrade. Just insert the Windows 98 CD for a minute to verify you qualfy and reinsert the Windows XP CD when instructed.

Why is it when I try to install my Chipset driver (nVidia) it would start then just crash and do nothing?

I had the same problem with the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. Installling the Nvidia IDE driver gave me blue screens. Installing all the drivers but the IDE one worked fine.

500GB> Hard Drive Space?

It has to do with numbering systems. By tradition and because computers work with powers of 2 Microsoft has used the definition that 1KB = 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 1024 bytes. Also, 1GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes Hard drive manufactures for marketing reasons define 1GB = 1000 x...

Artificial Gravity

"We also knew that photons are affected by gravitational fields not because photons have mass, but because gravitational fields (in particular, strong gravitational fields) change the shape of space-time." http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/961102.html

Does the C partition takes up the whole drive? If yes then there is no unallocated space. To divide up the C partition you first need to reduce it's size to create unallocated space. In the unallocated space create an Extended partition. In the Extended partition create the Logical drive D...

Artificial Gravity

The atractive gravitational force between two bodies is given by: F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant. The gravitational force is relatively weak. As an example, two SUVs, each with a mass of 3000 kilograms and placed with their centers of gravity 3 metres apart...

Artificial Gravity

# Is it possible to generate artificial gravity by spinning a part of the space station? If so, will you use it for exercise to keep astronauts in space longer? Yes, by rotating a habitat in space the resulting outward pointing centrifugal force can be made to appear like gravity, thus...
