Jonas Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If the moon was made of ribs, would you eat it? It's a simple question!"Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese..."-Wallace-So that's really an unnecessary question to think about, as the moon can't just change from cheese to pig fat just like that.

reportingsjr Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh but it can. So anyone think absolute zero is reachable? Im going with yes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh but it can. So anyone think absolute zero is reachable? Im going with yes..Absolute zero as in Kelvin? I think it's theoretically possible, but it doesn't happen naturally, and I don't think we can make machines that can create temperatures that low artificially, because if activity on atomic level stops at zero kelvin, I think the cooling machine would stop way before that.

This was performed by Wolfgang Ketterle and colleagues at MIT. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Wow, if you dont know, 450 pK is .45 K (low). So they have .45 kelvin to go down before they can get to 0! it is believed that 3-4K occurs naturally in deep space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 4.5x10-10K = .00000000045K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I was just about to post that MIT managed to get between a hundred billionths of a degree from absolute zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Whoa, you guys gathered a lot of info on space.I wonder when we'll actually be able to travel throughout the galaxies, or if we'll ever be able to.There's certainly life out there, sometimes I wonder if I want to know out there.-Ignorance is Bliss- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Dunno, yeah it is alot. Would take alot of time to re-read all of this stuff X-D. I bet we will be able to travel through galaxies. I dont really like that quote you added. Not very good to say. But hey! Thats just me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I wonder when we'll actually be able to travel throughout the galaxies, or if we'll ever be able to.I think the question is more about will we be able to travel in space before we manage to blow ourselves up and lose the ability.

Sniffy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yes, exactly.But, what if we find life that can harm us, like bacteria, or intelligent life that thinks we're a threat or wants to take over our planet?Or rather dangerous animals.

justsomeguy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't know how to answer that. I guess we deal with it the way we know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniffy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yeah, I guess so, but when you look at it a way, the human race is stupid. Why would we want to jump in to a new world to get us all killed. Is it worth that much just to prove that there's something out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 There's no guarantee that going somewhere else would result in death. That's always a possibility, but there was also a possibility that Columbus or Coronado or Cortez or any other explorer would have died, but that didn't stop them.

Sniffy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I guess curiousity controls us, just like anything else. We don't think of those things until they actually happen, and we'd never get anywhere in life unless we tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Bombs, our only solution, that's pathetic......we even blow eachother up with bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well, you want us to go with spears? Maybe we could use a laser. They have a laser attached to a plane somewhere.. sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yeah, but that's for shooting down missiles, and it can't carry a lot of ammo for the laser, even in a 747. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Psshh! Comeon, gotta think positive. Each fire will only take a pistol-bullet sized amount of whatever it uses X-D. I think if it can shoot down missiles it can do alot more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniffy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Yeah, I guess lasers would be invented by that time, and come to mention it, we'd be able to destroy those aliens with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
