Ya, I been tinkering with it since then and the fact that after every tweak I got to play a game which takes one to two weeks to complete, it takes time. Plus I much perfer to play games then MOD them and although I keep coming back to CIV, between my PS3 and Steam sales I have more games then...

Yes I understand the theory is redshift is a doppler effect, I disagree with that conclusion. Redshift can also be a gravitational effect, but I think the redshift is infact just reddening. New evidence doesnt make old evidence go away but it does disprove theorys. Thats the whole point of...

Personally I think the whole expanding universe theory is going to end up being a flat earth theory, total bunk. Everytime new data goes against the big bang instead of dumping the theory they invent something to change the parameters, just another case of dogma. I lean more towards some form of...

I dont, and if you had read my posts you would realize that I belive we will self destruct, all for an extra ten percent profit margin (greed), we are doomed because we worship the almighty dollar... I was just pointing out what I thought was a theoretical possibility. Its too small to hold...

Wont work, at best you can create a heavy CO2 atmosphere which would at least allow humans to walk on the surface with just an oxygen mask. Any oxygen you can get into the atmosphere would get blown into space and another problem is if you can heat up mars enough for liquid water you will start...

Touche, though I do not seriously believe that just because there is one habitable planet that automatically eliminates any possibility of another in our neighborhood. I would even bet that somewhere in the vast universe there is even a system with two habitable planets orbiting a single star...

After listening to that recent interview with Shirk, I get the feeling this will not happen, he sure seemed to deflect any questions regarding an Xpack. Xpacks are NOT the new $DLC BUSINESS MODEL$ Expect DLC for this game to be Spain @ $4.99, Malinese @ $4.99, X country not already in game @...

Eating more food gains you nothing if you cant metabolize it... Chemistry IS physics.

Complexity, I'm referring to higher energy life forms like animals, with high energy organs like brains, these require the high energy conversion of oxygen. I'm not simply talking about multicellularty, they may have already discovered such life forms at the bottom of the mediterranean sea. What...

1\10th was only because at this time, using nuclear pulse propulsion, its the fastest we can go, so thats why I used it. A theoretical fusion engine could get us to 25-30% speed of light. Optimum if it could be done would be to get above 90% because then relative effects really start to shorten...

So your backing up your view with a 30 year old book, which covers everything from alien sex to cosmic warfare, written by someone who has no education in biology and who frequently used SF authors as references? :lol: The picture of NCC-1701 on the cover is very apt because its mostly fiction...

Heh took me a bit to figure out what the heck I was looking at, then realized you plugged the information into E=MC2, so assuming 100% mass to energy conversion you get 500 metric ton, cool. The information I had then was bollocks and was out by a factor of 100. I got 12500 PWh based on this...

Funding got axed. Extremophiles are extremophiles because they survive outside of the optimum oxygen cycle of life. Titan is a prime example of an extremophile enviroment, it has weather, liquid on its surface, rain even, its the closest thing to earth in our solar system with the...

Yes and yes because these things are relevant to the survival of our species so they should have top priority, as opposed to looking outside of our solar system which is totally irrelevant to the survival of our speices. You cant educate children without funding either, and the state of...

Oh I dunno, maybe the asteriod thats going to hit the earth and kill millions or even wipe out the human race all together, guess thats not as important as finding planets well never see. Sure that is a valid point, sort of, but wouldnt the 600 million dollars spent on just kepler alone...

Um where exactly did I ever state any such thing? Here I'll lay out why I dont think civilizations can spread out of thier own systems... Accelerating one ton to one-tenth of the speed of light requires at least 125 billion kWh. So guess on size a generation ship would need to be, lets say...

Here you go... just a couple of links you should find enlightening. Oxygen required for complex life. http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/1910/the-oxygen-imperative Solar wind making planets without a magnetic field uninhabitable...

Just one problem I have with this, limited resources. No doubt as a scientific endeavor it is a fascinating subject, but it has no real world applications, we cant go there. Meanwhile here in our own system on our own planet we have things that do have real world, even end of world...

Yes earth had life and a lot of it without oxygen, but it wasnt until life developed in an oxygen enviroment that it exploded to what it is now, so it very well could be that life can only explode under an oxygen enviroment. Heh, I would say the news is more interested in who Tiger is...
