So, last night's Lost... (Blog Entry by Sarzy)
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
DEM FTL.
What Would You Do? Racism In An Upscale Store
Commenter complaining because this isn't "real" = missing the point entirely.
FTL
Ted talk: What if there's somebody else out there?
^upvote for linking to Atomic Rocket!
Best "more science in sci fi" site I've seen. (although I'm a bit sad about their stance on FTL).
Plasma Rocket Breakthrough
Got to get the FTL drives working next. Frak.
"All Along the Watchtower" Live w/Katee Sackhoff (June 2009)
There was plenty of supernatural hints, but they kept it ambiguous enough that it made sense. The end betrays that completely. The constant involvement of prophecies, Baltar as Jesus was nicely tied up to be a massive hoax, and that would have made sense, instead it doesn't!
Raaaaaage! *smacks head on the table*

Makes me miss BSG- but then makes me remember the betrayal of the creators at the ending. Deus ex machina FTL.
(no, this nerd has not forgiven)
dag, if the ending was the first time you noticed there was a teensy bit of supernatural and the 'divine' involved in the story, you might as well have not been watching at all. This nerd is at a loss as to why all the numerous allusions about the constant involvement of a god or gods in human and cylon plights were OK for you and others (gwiz among them, prominently) until the time came for the story to end. Then it's deus ex machina all of a sudden.

Monkey Likes Head Massage
While a bit cheeky, this is not a monkey, but rather a gibbon, which is an ape. This girl is more closely related to you than she is to a macaque, capuchin, or any other monkey. Chained up primates FTL. Upvote for cuteness in the face of oppression.
NASA's UFO Footage [10:11]
>> ^Edgeman2112:
Why do they all have to be tiny little specs of nothingness on every image, every video? Why isn't there one image that's a foreign space craft firing disruptors at the space shuttle?
CMON! It can be anything from dust on the lens, bugs that maybe hitched a ride upon launch, or any amount of billions of pieces of debris in orbit. I believe in UFOs because of their definition: Unidentified flying objects. It's way way too presumptuous to say it's some alien craft.
to me the outright dismissal of the idea that there could be alien beings outthere with ftl technology can also be interpreted as presumptuous. besides, presuming they do posess such superior technology, they could well be hidden from our sight, observing our actions since before we started nuking each other or polluting the universe with radio waves. as a matter of fact, they could well be running our governments and the global economy, which would certainly explain a lot of nonsense we're faced with these days. or don't you guys watch V ...

and, while im ere, all up in ur comments - you're description is ftl
thats right, spelling Nazi, 'you are' description is ftl. wanna fight about it?
Looking to get banned again?

Girl tries to be edgy, fails miserably.

PHYSICS of STARSHIP BATTLES-lasers and kinetic energy
The new BSG does a pretty good job with movie physics. (Besides the FTL drive, I guess.)
A friend of mine used to work for Cymer testing their million dollar lasers. He fell asleep during a test run and burned a largish hole through the wall that's still there today (another friend works in his exact job now... for some reason, my first friend is no longer there).
They're powerful enough, though, and the video gets the physics completely wrong!
E = hf is the formula for A SINGLE PHOTON, not for a laser. The energy delivered by a laser equals the energy put into the laser (minus any inefficancy losses). So a perfectly efficient zetawatt laser shooting through a vacuum will deliver a zetawatt of energy to the target, at any distance, at the speed of light. That's a pretty damn good weapon.
Also, he fucked up the mass section of the video also. Only massless particles can travel at the speed of light. So no kinetic energy for you traveling at the speed of light! (Photons carry momentum but not mass, and kinetic energy is defined by the mass-velocity product). Accelerating a asteroid or whatever towards the speed of light does not "cap out" at .5mv^2 -> mc^2. You can continue pumping energy into a asteroid heading towards earth. It's apparent velocity will not change, but it's apparent MASS will. Hence, conservation of energy.
Essentially, I think this guy doesn't know physics very well - that's all high school physics stuff.
NASA photos reveal deadly black hole emissions
>> ^shole:
true, but also if there was intelligent life there, they would certainly see their doom coming and could plan for it
like build an ark that waited for the beam to pass and circled the galaxy until it found a planet suitable for the species and seeded it from it's dna banks or adapt them into more environment-tolerant species
that's assuming they don't have FTL capability, in which case they could just scoot off from the beam's way
Earth has intelligent life, but if this happened to us, we'd be fucked.
