Delusion of Time Dilation: Comprehensive Study Of Mysteries In Science

By: Cres Huang

Exploits speed, time, and space to show why time dilation is impossible. Space and time are completely independent. Space has existence and absolutely recyclable. However, time is only reference information. It doest not exist in nature. Among all, TIME CAN NOT BE RECYCLED! Clocks can drift, yet, it is absolutely independent of time. Can we suppose the expansion or contraction of a yard stick meant the space has changed?...

Astroids (video game)

By: Retro Gamer

Asteroids is an arcade multi-directional shooter released in November 1979 by Atari Inc. It was one of the most popular and influential games of the golden age of arcade games, selling 70,000 arcade cabinets.[1] Asteroids uses a vector display and a two-dimensional view that wraps around in both screen axes. The player controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either, or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire....

Beyond Lies the Wub & The Skull

By: Philip K Dick

Two stories in the inimitable Philip Dick style. What is a Wub? A 400 pound slovenly, fat, ungainly, drooling animal that looks like a cross between a walrus and an enormous hog? Well, yes that is pretty much what he looks like and for 50 cents, a good bargain no matter how he tastes. The hungry spaceship crew expect to find out. Of course the Wub may not entirely agree but it doesn't have much to say about it. The second story, The Skull, is a skilful mesh of time travel, unscrupulous governments, prisoners, and religion. With an assassin thrown in for good measure. Enjoy! (summary by Phil Chenevert)...

Data Madministration : A Paradox Style

By: Florentin Smarandache

This is a how-not-to-do book about codification, indexing, information, computer science, peripherals and terminals. The data entries are unselected and stored in a database. Afterwards, they are disorganized, unstructured and then manufactured. A data mudflow is designed later in order to misdirect all information. A nonquality control personnel filters and trashes all high valued documents and restores the chaos in the institution. The book helps with the malfunctioning of an administrative system....

The illogical mudflow of a quarterly non-production process In looking at the illogical mudflow of a quarterly non-production process, it is very imperative for us to take into account several non-practical factors that take place during such non-production process. These factors include: - Tools under maintenance - Contracts - Transportation - Supply Below is an illustration of the two major phases that are not usually encountered during the execution of a non-production process. ...

The Warp Drive : Hyper-fast Travel Within General Relativity

By: Miguel Alcubierre

It is shown how, within the framework of general relativity and without the introduction of wormholes, it is possible to modify a spacetime in a way that allows a spaceship to travel with an arbitrarily large speed. By a purely local expansion of spacetime behind the spaceship and an opposite contraction in front of it, motion faster than the speed of light as seen by observers outside the disturbed region is possible. The resulting distortion is reminiscent of the "warp drive" of science fiction. However, just as it happens with wormholes, exotic matter will be needed in order to generate a distortion of spacetime like the one discussed here....

Event and Information: Comprehensive Study of Mysteries in Science

By: Cres Huang

Information is only the description of the event, not the source event. When continuous information are sent from different locations, and the observer is moving from place to place; It would not necessarily reach the receiver in same order and interval initiated by the event....

The issue is, sometime we can not separate the event and it's information, and even fooled by it.

Wright Flyer Paper : Transformational Satellite (TSAT) Communications SystemFalling Short on Delivering Advanced Capabilities and Bandwidth to Ground-Based Users, Vol. 27

By: Major Maurice M. McKinney, USAF

The thesis of this paper is that the advanced capabilities provided by TSAT are limited and will not be sufficient to serve the ground-based portion of the communications network supporting network-centric warfare (NCW). To validate this proposition, this study will start by identifying space-based systems that will enable NCW, discuss the requirements for ground-based NCW, and finally determine the combination of spaced-based systems sufficient to deliver advanced capabilities to the war fighter....

Peace by Committee : Command and Control Issues in Multinational Peace Enforcement Operations

By: Major Harold E. Bullock, USAF

The United States has been involved in peace enforcement operations for many years. In that time we have learned some lessons. Unfortunately, we continue to repeat many of the same mistakes. Sometimes we have forgotten hard-learned lessons, and sometimes we never learned from our earlier experiences. Focusing on command and control, the issues can be loosely grouped into categories of force and command structure, political impacts, and interoperability. Finally, for a multinational peace enforcement operation to succeed, interoperability must be achieved. Equipment and logistics provide the most visiblearea of concern; and problems remain with equipment, fuels, and transportation andrelated skills. Overall, to improve command and control for multinational peace operations, we must look at past experiences, recognize the recurring problems, and aggressively attack the roots of those problems. This paper identifies some of the “stickiest wickets” from the Dominican Republic and Somalia and suggests some solutions. The solutions are not simple or easy, but if we ignore the problems, they will certainly not simply go away....

Lady's Visit to the Gold Diggings of Australia in 1852-53, A.

By: Ellen Clacy

If you have visions of a middle-aged parasol-bearing lady smiling sweetly from her carriage as she tours Bendigo think again. In 1852, 20 year old clergyman’s daughter Ellen and her brother boarded ship for Melbourne then set off to walk to Bendigo. Dressed in her blue serge skirt which doubled as nightwear, she camped under a tent made of blankets, had mutton, damper and tea most meals and on arrival lent her hand to gold washing. And seemed to enjoy it ! And amongst other things she tells of colonial life , transportation, emigration and other gold-fields. But you will need to listen to hear more about bush-rangers and orphans as well as what she did with her parasol. (summary by annise)...

The Call of the Wild

By: Jack London

Excerpt: BUCK did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost....

"Outside the Box" Space and Terrestrial Transportation and Energy Technologies for the 21st Century

By: Theodore C. Loder III, Ph.D.

This paper reviews the development of antigravity research in the US and notes how research activity seemed to disappear by the mid 1950s. It then addresses recently reported scientific findings and witness testimonies - that show us that this research and technology is alive and well and very advanced. The revelations of findings in this area will alter dramatically our 20th century view of physics and technology and must be considered in planning for both energy and transportation needs in the 21st century....
