yea bro,I also heard about the missing 24 hours oh,I think I heard something about astrologers saying stuffs like that I think I Google it now
[b] Bro it is Urban legend complete hoax propagated mostly by Christian apologetic website like answeringgenesis... its a desperate clutch trying to reconcile belief with science.

If such a thing happened and the earth stood still for hours everything would have been destroyed.. (Even though Joshua wrote the sun stood still rather which we know it completely a show of ignorance)

at the speed at which the earth rotates in it's axis comes to a sudden halt the sudden jerk will be so great that not even a stone will remain unmoved... the world as you know it would have been completely destroyed.. houses, trees will perish even earth quakes greater than any imagined..

Let me imagine the above effect didn't take place.. One part of earth will be imagining why the sun never set while the other will be wondering why the day never broke and it seemed remarkable that such world shaking event as the sun delaying to rise or fall in different parts of the world happened and nobody in these other parts of the world bothered recording only the jews who claimed it happened for their sake.

Fictitious myth has never been more glaring

even when u see them with your two eyes you will still claim they are hoax. .

many puzzles around u, it's left to you to fix the puzzles together and answer questions about your world if mental laziness or fear for the truth will permit
U.F.Os are called U.F.Os because that is what they are... someone can point at a whiff of cloud or even a rocket and say O.M.G what is that thing flying..

You don't know what it is means you don't doesn't mean its aliens.

Once we see an alien space ship land here then we do not need call it U.F.O anymore because now we have identified what is it..

Let the aliens stop lurking in the barns of some random guys trying to gain attention and trying landing in an airport next time... am sure thats where we want flying things to land

yes that is what am talking about,but I think is kind of a dead end.
I think not though... If Einstein was right and space/time was like a flexible fabric and expands faster than light.. then surely we do not need to go fast like light we only need space/time to take on that jolly ride grin

theoretical it is true,but when you consider Einstein theory of relativity,it becomes science fiction which I am now enjoying recently. u know after breaking the sound-barrier we have turn our imagination on how to break the light-barrier,but many scientists think of these things as science literature,in meantime though science moves forward,they are advancing ion propulsion for deep space missions,there are many"absurd" theories that have now become reality over the years,in the meantime though this project is a dream
E=MC2 like LoJ pointed out shows its practically impossible to achieve speed of light..

Because at that speed the energy required runs at infinite and we cannot achieve that..

Warp drive is not really moving. You know Space/time expands faster than light itself that is why most part of the universe are not visible to us cus light hasn't gotten enough time to travel such distances and it keeps expanding..

But in the theoretical Warp drive, the ship is not really moving.. No it is only distorting the space/time around it...

LoJ:
Hello my brother, thank you for the question.

As a principle, it is always -ceteris paribus - better to view things as being possible. Believing that something is impossible, leaves us with one option: Giving up. However to see a possibility however tiny it maybe, gives us hope and passion, without which nothing great can be achieved. And even if after intensive and extensive research it is found and proven that it is impossible, the process will still engender many new equations, formulas and discoveries that might be useful in other domains or fields

I understand the greatest problem of the Warp drive technology is the problem of the mass. let's break in down in simple terms:

If E = mc2 then c =square root(E/m). Then the higher the mass, the higher the amount of energy necessary in order to reach C. So it would require tremendous amounts of energy to move a Spacecraft made of conventional material at the speed of the light, talk less of a higher speed.

A solution would be to build the craft or part with material that have a negative density. I guess that's the idea behind the Warp Drive Nasa program. The idea is great, but where to find such material? Is there any evidence that it exists?
Anti-matter may be applied wink

But warp drive theoretically works by generating warp fields to form a subspace bubble that enveloped the starship, distorting the local spacetime continuum and moving the starship at velocities that could greatly exceed the speed of light .

so in actuality the ship is not really moving, rather its crunching the space/time ahead of it and it's desired destination

You forgot that assumptions is important in physics? scientists made assumptions.
Such assumptions am sure we regard a hypothesis and are never taught as truth until substantiated by empirical evidence and experimentations.

Once you teach you assumptions unsupported by evidence to the public as truth, you are both a liar and a fraud

Meanwhile, if I can derive idea from my religion I do not see how it is wrong to apply it in science.

For instance in the bible, God reversed the movement of the sun and it lagged behind for 15 days, the implications is that we can go back in time.

that same going back in time is now a big question science is still struggling to answer. time will come when we will go beyond physical. time travel, entanglement, super conductivity, etc.

Let's keep watching and don't fight anyone for his belief
Imagine this ..habaaa.. Ok can only "lol" at this, and you call yourself a scientist.. More reason you should never bring your beliefs into science wish you knew how it makes you sound here, this is a public forum you know ...

well Am done with you..

nothing is impossible bro,I just continue to imagine how technology will be like in the next century.but that tech will be very hard oh.like I always say space travel will one day look like magic
People will regard anything roped around their ignorance to be magic..

When the missionaries came, our forefathers were amazed. they marveled in awe at a tiny box that talked and made music (radio) of course it was magical to them and seemed impossible.

Have you watched Star Trek? That's the idea of Warp drive, it distorts the fabrics of space/time bending the space behind reducing the distance of the one in front.

You can travel to great distances at short time without having to move at all... you move the space/time around you and not yourself..

I was like "WTF shocked" i don't think thats possible when NASA was explaining the mechanics of the warp drive and how we may get it to work..

you are becoming full of yourself sir. pride goes before downfall.

it seems it's been long you started this and as such I have to leave you here to continue. Goodluck. Since atheists are the true scientists. I just saw you I.Q and its quite high.
I have never stated atheists are the true scientists that remains your own words ..

You do not need to bring your beliefs into science, it never works and premises where knowledge is lacked is a call for more study not a gap to be filled by assumptions.

That is all

LoJ and erusen please let's drive this thread back to it's original theme and ignore any other religious mumbo jumbo..

What do you guys think about Warp drive travel? NASA announced to be developing on that technology that it holds the future of space exploration.

Do you think such technology can ever be possible?

I still demand you respect the choice of other peoples belief as prescribed by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I have no problem with people's choice of belief perfectly fine with it but once you make mor0nic assertions fueled by your beliefs i will call that person a mor0n..

Know this now i am not obligated to respect any belief.. i recognize your right to hold it and i will even fight with you to uphold that right.. But do not demand my respect for your beliefs if propagated in public as truth ..

have you wondered the source of time? gravity? space? who do there come to be.
And you call yourself a scientist i still wonder the type you are exactly
the ease at which it takes humans to walk, talk, eat, read etc as against the complex coding it takes for a scientifically produced robot to do the samehuh
And a self proclaimed scientists doesn't know the metabolical activities that distinguishes biological entities with inanimate ones
Jonnydon calm down, we are yet to discover 5% of what is in the universe.
Exactly and that gap is is not meant to filled up with assumptions.. that we don't know yet means we don't know yet not an avenue to employ absurd superstitions and assumptions
I do not also tell people to read only the bible, no I don't. they should read other books and apply wisdom too.
In general review all you wrote up there again and see how you are trying to bank on "ignorance" to bring basis for your beliefs..

I will not reply another mention about your beliefs again

Calm down, you have no problem with the Bible.

Many things we are seeing today was long predicted, remember we predict before we discover. you have the right to your choice of belief only respect other people's belief.

Do you not think that all our discoveries is geared down towards the existence of a supreme being. Science is merely imitating the creations of God.

proudly physicist, scientist for Christ.
No you have right to believe what ever you like but not the right for others to respect it..

If i am to respect every ideology then i will be inclined to respect every other dangerous idea, whim or coercion out there..

No i am not obligated to respect your beliefs, you can hold them that is fine but do not smear it on people's face and demand they respect it.

I am under no obligation to respect any belief so asking for such privilege will be an act of delusion from your own part.

Sumerians did a far more impressive thing like measuring the orbit of Jupiter even before the bible was ever drafted. If such a thing was in the bible i wonder the kind of excitement you all must have been having now..

Someone comes here and ask people to leave every book and read just the bible and you see nothing wrong in that and still call your self a scientist? i wonder the type of science you practise that is ok with reading one ancient book.

do not allowed Johnny to turn you into atheist, I have been following your post, first you deny being atheist, and now you speak highly of atheism, peter was one of the favorite disciple of Jesus, pride make him backslide. That is the reason most scientists are atheists, they feel like they understand everything in the universe. I pray God be with you my child.
Please i have ignored you at first stop masturbating with my mentions and name.. what is my business with turning anybody atheistic.. Please we are having a discussion way above you just go back to the religion section and do your thing and please stop calling my name or mentioning me unnecessarily..

A book written by primitive goat herders that doesn't know you cannot have an earth before the sun...

this mor0n comes along and ask people to forgo findings of our own generation and read some books that it holds all the answers... WTF is wrong with Nigerians?

Not even the Sumerian tablets that did more impressive things even though it was thousands of years older. . They measure and recorded positions of Jupiter using Geometry imagine something that impressive..

Some dude comes here and ask people forgo science books and read just 1 book 85% myths and history ..that it holds all the answers.

Now am mad

Well, i slept on this thread literally. As i kept reading and reading i noticed that we believe in what we can't see. Even the atheist. We all believe in Gravity, yet we can't see it. Scientists came up with an explanation of how gravity works, gave us proofs on it absence . We were taken to space to see what we can and can't do with gravity. We believe them. Now, we are asking if we are alone on earth and beyond. I don't know much about "beyond" but i know about earth. We are not alone on earth. Believe it or not. You, atheists don't believe in metaphysical / diabolic beings or power yet you believe in gravity. Atheist are like the modern day doubthing Thomas(no offence). Well, i'm talking from experience. I have seen things! I have seen other forms of beings. We Africans are aware of these beings but we choose to "overate" and give them "undue" powers.

Somewhere in a book. I read about some form of beings living above the earth's atmosphere.
[b]You see sometimes i wonder how people reason a times when they try to conjure up absurd reasons for their superstition.

Gravity? Now trying to be reconciled with the claim of metaphysical... isn't that a stupid and desperate clutch.. Because First "Gravity" is not a thing..

Throw your phone up and it falls back down into your hands that is what we call Gravity and not a thing..

You see that you are in a desperate gasp trying to wriggle and convince yourself of some bunch of bullcraps by trying to compare it with gravity has in entirety murdered that desperation because now you will have to agree that your "Metaphysics" claims are not a thing just like gravity is not a thing but the effect of interactions of material entities.

Don't go wishy on me.. If you have evidence for you claims bring it out don't go pulling out childish comparison like this comparing claims of your idea that are supposed to be a "thing" with a concept that is not..

It is not only nonsensical i am inclined to call it lunacy

You can pin point things you can regard scientific in the Hindu Veda, even in the Quran in the smallest sense, Egyptain maat, sumerian texts and many other ancient works.

They were all written by humans and the ancient men had ideas of science though may be classified a bit basic.. so do not be surprised when you see things you can reconcile with scientific datas in these ancient works.

Though many are just coincidental ...

The bolded is exactly the point "we don't know" that is why we are trying to know... If we claimed to know we wouldn't try to know..

So "I don't know" is the face phase to begin study..

Dollyak:
There is a huge possibility for backward time travelling, at least from a mathematical point fo view-based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as the warping of spacetime by energy and matter. An extremely powerful gravitational field, such as that produced by a spinning black hole, could in principle profoundly warp the fabric of existence so that spacetime bends back on itself. This would create a closed timelike curve, a loop that could be traversed to travel back in time.
More like a Wormhole right?

I think conventionally wormholes are basically speculated to transport one from One point in space/time to a distant point ... Wormholes basically warps space/time around a spinning singularity which created a tunnel of warping space/time that may lead to different parts of the cosmos not necessarily time... Going faster than the speed of light mathematically makes is possible to time travel but of course the speed greater than that of light is impossible going from what we think we know.

So mathematically time travel can be represented but in actuality it seems out of it

vivaciousvivi:

But then again, what we humans define as "basic necessities " for lifeforms to thrive upon may not be what another planet billions of lightyears away may define it.
A dark planet for example (a planet without an illuminating star like the sun, may have complex lifeforms thriving who may have appendages, exoskeletons or whatever that requires the absence of light, or water for that matter. They may not even have a spoken language as we define it here, yet they can communicate. Limbs, but have their own ability to be mobile etc.
What may seem "normal" here should not be viewed as "abnormal" elsewhere amply because we have restricted our levels of definitions.
It may sound paradoxical as I am a Christian but I believe in the possibility of complex lifeforms currently existing in other planets not weighed down by man's definition of basic requirements for life.
You are even going too far ... what we humans define as basic necessities for life to thrive are not even what many life on planet EARTH yes here on EARTH use.

There are life forms on earth that thrive in places we regard extreme and impossible to harbour life maybe due to temperature, gases etc but we see life forms not only thriving but fully normal to the environment and probably will parish if subjected to our own environment.

So certainly if these life forms are asked to determine necessities for life to thrive it must be a reflection of what they are used to which for us is a NO NO NO..

Life is incredibly diverse that we cannot really pin point it.
