People's memories are nororiously unreliable even under ideal circumstances.

India is primarily Hindu, and Indonesia, the last time I checked, is primarily Buddhist. Indonesia is 88% Muslim, according to the CIA World Factbook. Buddhist comes in at 1%, behind Protestant, Roman Catholic and Hindu. Muslims are the second largest religious group in India, at 12%, with Hindu th...

Triviarre, what you mention there is vaccines. those have dead or inactivated viruses which the immune system can identify and build up defences against, without an actual infection. this new thing is working towards targeting live viruses towards cancer cells to kill them, or possibly using the vir...

[quote="Blaze";p="454542"]Rewriting viruses is nothing new. The type of virus doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Once you replace the RNA, it cannot possibly do damage.[/quote] not always the case. mucking around could make it do something unexpected. It might attack the wro...

okay, okay. a slip then. or a momentary aberation. call it what you want, I know what I meant!

mind you, if the definition of "typo" is the only thing in that post that people can pick fault with, then I'm happy.

I do actually know the difference between fusion and fission. It was just a typo, albeit a bad one.

Schmuck wrote (View Post): H-bombs work that way, roughly. smaller nukes (such as the little boy and fat man bombs) rely on fusion only. No, those used only fission. Fission is Uranium, Plutonium, or some other large element decaying into smaller elements. Fusion is two Hydrogen nuclei fusing with ...

a) Common nuclear bombs dont use fission the way most people think they do. The fission reaction is only used for a fraction of a second, and doesn't actually do much other than catylize a fusion reaction in the main chamber of the bomb. The fission is needed to emit large ammounts x-rays, heat, an...

Blaze, can I ask where you came by your knowledge of relativity and physics in general?

Hurrahs and much cheering for Grumlen.

>>>If the brane theory is true,<<<

i thought your argument was based only on relativity? why do you need to bring brane theory into it? and don't even think about mentioning string theory!

why does it need to be in the brain? a simple tracking chip could be placed almost anywhere else. if it's brainwaves you're after, then electrodes on or under the scalp would do better. assuming of course that they could be reliably interpreted.

>>>Why's it theoretically impossible, if you could theoretically accelerate a dimension?<<<

mathematically, acceleration is the second derivative of position. you tell me where time is, and i'll let you accelerate it.
