silly rabbit, you don't fuck a spaceship.

@mxxcon: No, I mean a fucking spaceship.

So an unexplained phenomenon is always a ghost, just as a UFO is always an alien's spaceship.

An Authority Weighs In

Beautiful! It still seems a little bit "off" from reality, but that may be a consequence of ignoring atmospheric physics and/or a different atmosphere density from Earth's. It would be interesting to know what the simulated speed of that spaceship was, and how it relates to the Space Shuttle's speed.

My pleasure. It needs to be seen.

Thanks for the promo!

Still waiting for Orion to be funded. Would be a good use for all those nuclear weapons that are lying around decommissioned. You could launch an entire Moon base in one go.

Watch for the Black Hole "Remake"

Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski takes on 1979 sci-fi film
"Disney are going back to the eighties with a reinvention of the sci-fi classic The Black Hole. The remake has a top team behind it with direction from Tron Legacy's Joseph Kosinski and screenplay courtesy of Travis Beacham who penned Clash of the Titans. They have also have producer Sean Bailey involved on the potentially 3D project.

The original, directed by Gary Nelson, at the time was the most costly Disney film ever made, and saw the longest computer graphics shot at that point in history leaving it with nominations for cinematography and visual effects at the Academy Awards that year.

The remake will recount in much more detail, the story of spaceship Palamino discovering the presumed dead Dr. Hans Reinhardt in a lost, robot controlled ship hovering over a black hole. Reinhardt, even after twenty years, remains to determind to find what lies beyond the hole - be that immortality or oblivion...

I hate the way Gervais insults him, but the animation really helps make this a laugh riot. I love the monkey putting the spaceship in reverse!

It is true however, that monkey astronauts did not fare well in the program.

I think its more a product of the lack of any atmosphere that high up...the tiniest of forces in usual ambient pressures wouldnt really do much, as friction would overcome the impulse to move with the force.

Without the atmosphere though, the effect of the minute forces are soooo much greater.

Think how they turn a spaceship that weights hundreds of tons....tiny puffs of air.

fry's dog on Futurama was based on the japanese akita Hachiko (except for the spaceships and blob-monsters - look it up). This is the saddest thing you could put on cartoon; bambi's mom isn't even in the ballpark.

In fact, yes it's a UFO. Because UFO means "UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object". UFO does not mean "alien spacecraft" FOR FUCK'S SAKE.


Thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious! Where in my title did I say, or elude to anything about an alien spaceship?

Oh i see, strange of them to express it so ambiguously. It looked like '30 or 28' to me.

However i still find it unscientific. I don't see any instance where information teleports itself more than 1 square. If information 'dies' and then further along the line new information is created which forms a similar pattern to earlier, is it really breaking the light barrier? For all we know in a system so simple, a goat dies in australia and a goat is born in england at the same instant so we say that a goat has broken the light barrier.

This calls into question their spaceships too. Because the ones that i was allowed to create in the web program spun (ie. the pattern after 1 step was inverted, then mirrored, then inverted again, then mirrored again, so the pattern had a 4 time unit cycle, during which time it wasn't the same shape). You can't claim that it's moving in a case like this.

If for one second i take it wholly out of context and look at a stargate, it's as though we put a chicken in a stargate and a chicken came out the other end. Until we can establish that it's the same chicken, for all we know if we put a cat in one end, a dog might come out the other. Does that help to illustrate my cynicism? If we put a certain pattern in and see the same pattern later, all we can say is that one pattern gives rise to the same pattern later on. It could be coincidence.

In fact, if i had the time, i could probably create a pattern which split off into bits. Then, if ANY pattern disappears and i see the pattern reappear elsewhere, i can claim that i have broken the light barrier. See what i mean?

Having said that, i still can't identify what you're talking about in the final section of video, so i'm still left guessing at what's taking place.

Edit:
After having looked at this - i suppose this also raises a philosophical question about reality as we see it - if i move a chess piece from one point to another, is it the same chess piece or a copy? If time in reality was cut down into strips like in the 'game', and if space was cut down into blocks as in the 'game', i could say that the chess piece is not the same chess piece. So now imagine that the time units and blocks were infinitesimally small, how do i know that the chess piece is the same after every fraction of space and time i move it through?

Of course the answer is "That's what their rules state." Because they define the 'universe' (of blocks), they give me the opportunity to question their theories. Our universe isn't defined in rules and so we must make our own, and some things we take for granted. In a defined universe of our creating such as this, we must deal in certainties, surely?

Oh so here's the deal. Computers are the spackle for shoddy writing. Computers are used by Hollywood both to fill in plot gaps and to provide an easy way to wrap up an episode, movie or get past a character's adversity. For more proof...watch "The Italian" job or "Oceans 11/12/13".


Or "Independence Day" (Did you know that AppleTalk is compatible with ALIEN FUCKING SPACESHIPS? It's true.)
Or "The Net" (Did you know that viruses actually sound like bacon? It's true.)

was gonna sift this

will suck if we have to fly sucky planes while the aliens send spaceships down
