I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Wayne_Cowdrey said:Rick, would you entertain the idea of shortcuts through space (extra dimensions)? I'd entertain all sorts of ideas; almost the best way to summarise the state of modern physics is an incredulous shrug . But the reason SF is full of FTL gimmicks is that it is a great plot device for widening the canvas, not because anybody thinks it's likely. I suppose some sort of FTL combs tech might explain why we're getting all this radio silence, but at that point we're talking theology and "wanting to believe". As I understand it the best guess at the moment is short wormholes are kind of possible, like quantum entanglement and action at a distance is a thing, but very possibly not ever a usable thing, in the same way you can generate heavy elements in a lab but not get them to stick around long enough to be useful. Yeah, maybe they all have FTL up the wazoo and we just happen to be only visited by the equivalent of college drunks going cow-tipping. And maybe there are ghosts and vampires and reincarnation ESP and precognition and Elvis is alive and well and playing weekly gigs on the dark side of the moon to the real John Kennedy and Marilyn. I shall try to stick to believing in things for which there's mountains of evidence and enjoying stories about things for which there isn't. | ||

I’m not sure if this link will work but this vid throws some real question marks out there for people who believe man went to the moon For me - personally - the question marks it throws up are regarding the people who consider this evidence of...well, anything. Look - fine - if you don't believe NASA then at least refer to the original evidence rather than what someone else has put together, otherwise you are just considering the spin someone has put on the spin NASA originally put on the evidence. After participating in this thread I spent a good deal of time researching the subject (on top of what I have done already) and what it seems to boil down to is doubter's personal incredulity regarding what Science has so far shown rather than anyone being able to disprove it. Now if you want me to say NASA has lied about stuff in general then fine, got no problem with that...but it is not demonstrably THIS. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | The very first thing the video shows is two shots from different Felix Baumgartner jumps so I don't why the capsule has look identical. Also, the bit about the Astronauts still being alive is actually genuinely disrespectful as well as being incorrect. | ||

Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | To be fair, this just popped up on facebook, I watched it and then didn't have the inclination to research further, HOWEVER, the thing that caught my attention the most was the apparent use of wires whilst in space (why on earth would their clothing be pulling as it is?) and the air bubbles in a vacuum (if someone could explain this I'd be amazed) If the astronauts who died on Challenger aren't really alive then I agree, that's completely disrespectful and insensitive to their families. | ||

None of that footage looked like the Astronauts were on wires...if you look closely at the guy somersaulting at around the 05:00 mark the reason his pocket catches is because the guy next to him reaches out to steady him and catches his finger in the pocket, for instance. As for the the "Air Bubbles" you've got good eyesight if you can categorically state they are bubbles of air and not, say, drops of frozen air and moisture trapped on the Suit in getting out of the Space Station. | ||
