That's what I thought, but I started to have doubts. But yeah that works fine as my original idea works then

Re: Science Questions

Ok another question that sprung to mind when I was thinking about the tech. In the story if a person lost a limb/organ they could have it replaced with a cloned one based on their genetic structure from before whatever caused the loss. So at one point a character will lose an arm but gets a new one ...

Re: Looking for SF/Fantasy book recommendations

I'm currently going through the Foundation trilogy (a old BBC radio dramatisation) but also iRobot. And yeah, I've read all the Douglas Adams books, so it is a bit rudundant to suggest them to me. But then it is not like I'm the only one who might pick something up from this thread. I did buy The na...

Looking for SF/Fantasy book recommendations

So while I don't read as much as I use to; I do listen to more audio books (when out walking/driving etc.), and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for me.

We can skip any books by Terry Pratchett because I've read/listened to them all.

DB8 Interview?

Sorry to start a new topic over this, but I was just wondering what became of the interview Graham was in? I think they said they would post a link to it on the DB blog but I can't find it, and I'm always very interested in finding out how the 'outside' media portrays an event like DB and would ther...

Re: Science Questions

Regarding antimatter fuel; You probably want to work out how its stored as thats just as tricky as making it. To my knowledge is still the best candidate for long term fuel though as (again to my knowledge) its got the highest energy density. This is something I have been thinking about and I tried...

Re: Science Questions

I went with the Alcubierre drive since it is one that doesn't "really" go faster then the speed of light as much as exploits a loophole in the laws of physics by bending space around it (I don't know if living in a bubble in space-time going 10 times the speed of light would affect aging),...

Re: Science Questions

Well I went with the FTL drive because it might be " theoretically " possible to exist, and the alternative would be that the journeys would take thousands of years and that kind of writes off having a living crew. And yeah the pod survivor is kind of only really the backdrop; a introducti...

Re: Science Questions

I should write this idea down and have you people who are way better at science and math then me look over the basics things, because I'd hate to have developed it a long way along only to suddenly realize that I got something fundamentally wrong.

Re: Science Questions

I guess, but I don't know. I always try to root as much of things in actual science (which is why I'm asking so many questions in here every time an idea strikes me), and from a story point it doesn't make sense that they would have such a thing. Mostly because the people meant to be listening to sa...

Re: Science Questions

Well the idea was of a human ship who's FTL drive is broken thus stranding them in deep space and as a minor side story they would pick up old signals from earth's past (mostly just to show just how far out they are but also to be a kind of reminder of the home they left behind and can never return ...

Re: Science Questions

Question: How would our signals (radio etc) be recieved out in deep space? For example a spacecraft picking up our first radiosignals from the early 20th century: would one be able to pick up full broadcasts from the distant past or would the somehow be garbeled somehow?

Re: A question about copyright on youtube

I know that, but that sounds more like how it is for the usage if material straight from the artist and not covers where in the students play and sing and nothing prerecorded is used from the original artist.

Re: A question about copyright on youtube

Well it is a community collage which is semi-state run so our material is kind of promotion material as well (although the students don't pay us as such; we get money from the state based on the students). But we don't run ads or anything on our youtube material that would make us money directly off...

A question about copyright on youtube

Ok so I've been going through Youtube's copyright policies pages, documents and related links for an hour now, and I've so far been unable to find what their stance on music covers is. This is a bit important for work as the school where I work has a lot of music students who perform and it would be...
