Whew! I thought this was gonna be a thread about what happens to the space-time continuum (and GA, too) when the "Inventor of the Internet" wins the Nobel Peace Prize... What.. me worry? I'm gonna just sit back and let Algore invent the solution for controlling the climate of the earth. |

Converting a mass into energy is almost trivial. The energy equivalent of a 190-lb man (about 4.7 trillion kilowatt-hours) is roughly equal to the entire annual power output of Hoover Dam for the next 1200 years, or more than a quarter-million Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs. That's not exactly trivial. |

I don't think energy will be a problem in the future. I'm sure packet sized reactors will be common. Converting a mass into energy is almost trivial. The challenge is in reassembling everything, not just exactly as its suppose to be but quick enough that it stabalizes. You don't want 1/2 a cell sitting around for 1/2 a second. Isn't that why an annular confinement beam is needed? http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Annu...nfinement_beam /sarcasm GrtArtiste |

Whew! I thought this was gonna be a thread about what happens to the
space-time continuum (and GA, too) when the "Inventor of the Internet" wins the Nobel Peace Prize... What.. me worry? I'm gonna just sit back and let Algore invent the solution for controlling the climate of the earth. What's really funny is that our local newspaper ran an article this morning, trumpeting how the Nobel Prize has legitimized Gore when, in fact, it is Gore who has de-legitimized the Nobel Prize... I'm just amazed how this whole thing has snowballed into a "global emergency" that can only be fixed (surprise!) by people who stand to make billions. As P.T. Barnum once noted, there really *is* one (more like 1000) born every minute. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I'll leave it to you to decide which one is Al Gore. :-) Matt |

Nah, what's really funny is that at the same time the British courts, in a case involving schools showing his movie to students, have found it less than truthful and not very scientific. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
