Warp Speed

So I've officially given up on that centrifugal force post until next week as my laptop is refusing to let me format any equations whatsoever.

Therefore I am stuck as for what to talk about.

Wait Star Trek...
...No I'm not insane, okay so I was talking to somebody the other day about the scientific issues with the Star Trek films, don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of them.

So the main problem that we thought of, not the Fermi paradox, teleportation or anything like that, was warp speed. And not just due to the fact that we can't travel as fast or faster than light for reasons that I can't be bothered right now to explain, basically we have mass.
We figured that once the warp speed had been activated they would never have been able to report back to Star Fleet Command, as they always have been able to. This is mainly because, Command would all likely be dead by now. As the starship would have been traveling at warp speed,time for them would pass slower than on Earth by a considerable amount, like being in a stasis state, therefore leaving them alive whilst the remainder of Star Fleet would age at a 'normal' rate on Earth.

Basically that was our conversation, and now you know.

Live long and prosper.

Not so normal

So I've been trying to create a rather informative post on centripetal and centrifugal forces, however the formatting has decided to go funny on me...

Therefore that post may have to wait till next week though the research into the backgrounds of the equations took aaaaages, oh well.

Anyway I thought instead I'd give you an article that just came through on my feed:

I'd recommend reading it, it's rather interesting.

Sorry this is so short, oh and just to say if anyone wanted to know there won't be anymore lab notes from extreme physics as they are currently stapled to a display board in my physics lab...
