    Why does it matter?

    Well, our bodies metabolize the foods we eat and converts it into glucose (and other energy source molecules), a fuel our bodies can use as an energy source. It's still matter at this point but I could not do justice to how our bodies convert that matter into energy, so I refer you to...

    Why does it matter?

    I believe that you disbelieve the laws of motion. Those laws say; do not stand in front of a speeding Mack truck. Motion is ENERGY. That is the force you speak of that you believe is missing. When you say "...but for example, where does the centrifugal force originate?" you are ignoring the...

    I never planned on revealing my address. I knew perfectly well what you meant. My point is that now that we've established that the money exists without having to use my own massive store ;) , you've move onto other objections. But ok, irrelevant. " there's no other sure-fire way to kill your...

    Why does it matter?

    My question was posed to abdelhalimhosney886@gmail I was giving him a chance to explain his theory that gravity is caused by elastic strings.

    Why does it matter?

    Yes, thanks for acknowledging that i do know. In fact, my very next sentence was "Absent some other guiding, repulsive, attractive, resisting force, ..."

    Why does it matter?

    It's not a force that keeps the rock going, it's the lack of a resisting force to stop it. Since space is a vacuum, if there are no sufficiently massive enough objects around to "capture" it, the rock will continue on it's way. On Earth, air acts as the braking force through friction. But in...

    Manned Mars Mission - Still Waiting.

    Since the very beginning of our forays into space, the number one priority has been to control contamination. I believe the scientists involved are aware of your worries and will do their best to control any spread. We will all die here on Earth, doomed to extinction if we do not move forward...

    Manned Mars Mission - Still Waiting.

    So in your first reply you ask where we send the bill to. Now you claim there is no public interest when the "science" side just won a national election based on fear of climate change and a party that wants to add to the "national debt" as if it doesn't exist. Come on, man. The public follows...

    Why does it matter?

    How do you explain the Voyager missions? Those spacecraft have left our solar system and not because of any fuel or propulsion. They spent their fuel many years ago, but their momentum continues to carry them outward, away from the sun and they will not return. If they were attached by elastic...

    Really? Is that what you believe? That there isn't the money? 3 Trillion was just spent on the CARES Act without blinking an eye. And they're looking to spend more. I'd send the bill to all the governments who want a piece of Mars. If you provide a way, they'll provide the funds. That's the...

    Why does it matter?

    Matter causes a distortion in space-time that effects other matter. The "nothingness" is not really nothingness if it's space-time since space-time is a 'somethingness". But I don't discount your theory out of hand. I think everything is worth investigating to a degree. This substance you speak...

    Manned Mars Mission - Still Waiting.

    That was 65-55 years ago, my friend. Even the younger, support staff are easily in their 70s-80s by now. The actual scientists who were in their 40s and 50s at the time are long gone. Even most of the young astronauts that went are now either old as dirt or deceased. You belittle their...

    Manned Mars Mission - Still Waiting.

    I watched the Apollo missions as a child. In my teens and twenties I watched the space shuttle missions happen as if they had become second nature. But still, I was one of the skeptics. By the 90s, while my friends thought that progress was so aggressive that by the year 2000 we'd be going...

    Why does it matter?

    Yes, but you don't have to imagine another civilization. You can use ourselves as a model, and the science we are not so inferior at as a comparison. Along with computing and aerodynamics we are pretty good at flying within an atmosphere. Not "as good" as those imaginary civilizations but...

    Why does it matter?

    Black holes are similar because we do not fully understand them, gravity is involved, and they were given names meaning "obscured" or "unknown". Otherwise, they are uniquely different phenomena, I agree. And they have given it a more apt name; they can also be known as a Gravitational...
