Ever notice how Third Day sounds like thirty? Ah to get away from cliche answers, onto the fun stuff. So today, whilst watching a movie in class, I decided to do some more pondering into the void of my mind, to see if there were any free-floating ideas. And there were! So today, I shall pose 2 to you today.
Everyone is hyped about the development of a "warp drive" which will allow space ships to move at/faster than the speed of light. From the outside, this is a pretty solid plan in that if something quicker than the speed of light is developed, then we truly will be able "to go where no man has gone before." Thinking about all of the planets and stars that are lightyears away, just imagine. LIGHTYEARS, that means that even light travelling at 3.00E8 is still going to take a year until it reaches the star. That is only one way too. But if something faster than light were developed then the amount of time it takes to reach the destination would decrease significantly. This is great, but think about ourselves for a little while :) Granted that Newton's laws still apply to what is may be seen as the vacuum known as space, one still must wonder how much force is acting upon the person if they were to experience something faster than the speed of light. Based on Newton's third law, "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" known as inertia in this case. Your body is not moving beyond light speed at the time the ship is at beyond light speed, so you will feel force. Unless a technology is developed where a force can be generated to counteract the forces produced by the ship, it is highly unlikely that warp speed will be developed soon. Or we wouldn't feel acceleration in our cars. But I do challenge someone to develop warp speed for some time in the future, when the technology is hopefully a little more advanced, one will be able to develop such a device to counter the force produced by moving faster than the speed of light, which will be fantastic in developing space ships like on Star Trek.
Lastly, I am a little lazy to look it up, but what composes the ozone layer? And with that, is gravity keeping it in the spherical shape it is in right now? When we learn about the genesis and mechanisms or forming an ozone layer, we will be able to test and produce ozone layers on other planets which may lead to explorations to different planets and habitation on those planets as well, in the event of scarcity of resources on Earth which I predict may be some time in the future.
This was a post on space exploration, and thank you for your time! Happy thinking :]
