Salty, my dad was born in 1912 on a self-sufficent farm in Alabama. He was a grown man before they ever got electricity or he ever wore store-bought clothes. He remembers the first airplane he ever saw. He said "Pa let us quit chopping cotton until it was out of sight". When he saw a diesel locomotive in 1936, it was the most futuristic thing he'd ever seen. He really was born into a 19th-century world. But before he died in 1999 he got to fly in helicopters and jets, he saw men land on the moon, he saw computers and television, heart transplants, and many things that he called "Buck Rogers" stuff. Amazing things to a farm boy who grew their own food, made their own tools and clothing, and worked with draft animals. You and I are going to see a lot of "Star Trek" stuff before we die. Live long and prosper.
The science of today won't send us to the far reaxhes of space, but the big breakthrough may be right around the corner. Space travel, laser beams, and maybe time travel await. This cook sure thinks so. http://www.physorg.com/news63371210.html
Outside a vacum. Try this on for size...the speed of light is not a constant. Since it isn't, outside of a vacume anyway, then e does not always = mc^2. In other news...the world isn't flat.
:hihi: Oops...I left out one. Too bad the one I left out just happens to be the correct one. Oh well, you knew what I meant.
