Time Travel

Science officer Bigc, have you checked all redundant systems and our reserve power? We might have occasion to use them soon.

 

our reserv power is at 100% the main hydrogen inverters are at 85% due to the chemical laden water we were forced to use in the inverters but hopefully it will be diluted enough bt then to be able to give 100% if needed. I don't forsee any problems, but you know how unpredictable time travel can be

Hey.. what happens if I step back in time and kill me?

 

hmm... string theory...
Isn't it the one which says many noano-sub-amotic strings are responsible for all sub-atomic particles all the way from leptons to quarks to .....
Or am I missing something here?

 

and can't we sidestep the hydrogen inverters for the "Ion Drive"....

can we take the next trip to 2100 AD (Kennedy space center Houston) and get this installed?

I have seen the future, and it features me.

 

Hey SO( Science officer ) bigc, do we have lasers onboard the spaceship? We may need them in case we come under attack from meteorites or alien UFOs.

(SPACE.com) -- Incredibly massive black holes had fully matured just a billion years after the birth of the universe, according to two separate studies.

Scientists already had strong evidence that black holes grew to gargantuan heft early in the universe. Several have been found to pack the mass of hundreds of millions of suns or more. But now scientists are pushing the limit of how far back in time they spot such objects and improving the firmness of their measurements.

In a study announced today, a black hole catalogued as SDSSp J1306 appears to be about one billion times as massive as the sun. It is 12.7 billion light-years away, meaning the light just recorded -- by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory -- took 12.7 billion years to reach the vicinity of Earth.

The universe is thought to be 13.7 billion years old.

A similarly massive and distant black hole was studied recently with the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton X-ray satellite. The object, SDSSp J1030, is 12.8 billion light-years away.

"These two results seem to indicate that the way supermassive black holes produce X-rays has remained essentially the same from a very early date in the universe," said Daniel Schwartz of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Schwartz was involved in the Chandra study. "This implies that the central black hole engine in a massive galaxy was formed very soon after the Big Bang."

The Big Bang is the leading theory for the origination of the universe as we know it.

Black holes can't be seen, because light and everything else that gets too close to them falls in and becomes trapped. But as gas approaches a black hole, it is superheated, making it glow in X-rays.

To find and measure black holes, astronomers examine these X-rays, along with the gravitational influence of a presumed black hole on the galaxy in which it resides. The results of both studies were reported in recent issues of the Astrophysical Journal.

The black hole in the Chandra study is producing energy at the rate of twenty trillion suns.

How such massive and energetic structures formed so quickly remains a major puzzle for scientists. Mergers of smaller galaxies and their black holes may have played a role. Researchers suspect that black hole formation and galaxy development go largely hand-in-hand, but they cannot say which comes first.

Wow !
One cool space craft that is.

Is there a drivers manual in the glove compartment?
The controls differ from what i'm used to.

 

No drivers manual, the whole thing is computerised and fully auto. The spaceship's computer is powered by Windows XP Professional SP2.

Type: Spaceship Year: 2004
Model: Wilders B-240
Manufactured and made by the members of Wilders Security Forums.
Weapon: Wilders X-340 laser blaster, 100% deadly accuracy.
Assistant Weapon: 10 plasma bomb cannons for emergency use.
Monitoring system: Wilders X-341 ATTACK MONITORING SYSTEMS.
Protection onboard: Laser guns in ammo storage with C4 dynamite explosives.
Number of spacesuits onboard: 60
Number of oxygen masks and tanks: 60
Computer processor: Intel Pentium 4 Extreme edition 3.4GHZ.
***QUALITY ASSURANCE PASSED***

 

Tou mean we're in a leaky vehicle in space?
Let's hope the space suits are functioning when needed.
Boy, i'm glad I always carry a knoppix version in my bag

 

C4? Hot dog. Now I can go back to practicing dentistry. We do need a dentist on board you know. That C4 will come in really handy for those really stubborn tooth removals. 1 quick blast and you'll never have to worry about toothaches again.

 

no we don't use anything as antiquated as a laser. We are equiped with a four million watt particle beam weapon. Nothing can withstand it.where it contacts it it will actually negate space it self.

 

so we don't get bored while we are traversing time I thought we would have a dance in the conference room. What do you think?

 

as we go through time the dances might change

 

Can we bring pogo sticks to the dance hall? And fire-hydrants?

 

come on now, this is a time ship not a cruise ship

 

but they said at the time-port that I can't bring my negative-ion-based-positronic-chrono-modulator.... how can I dance without it?

 

It is ok as long as it is the micro pocket size.

 

Yes, I buy it! It will be our next vehicle!

 

If I bring all my jelly beans we MIGHT need a dentist!

 

Good job Bigc, good job. Now, I want us to try our vehicle in the earth athmosphere before going into space. One is never too cautious!
