    Apparently more people are interested in rocket science than claim to be because it's super intimidating (it's got a stigma)

    anyone want to talk about aerospace engineering?

    Nothing to do with the subject but, you seem like a well educated person so I'd love to know your take on the Large Hadron Collider(black hole machine) and the underground lab the government is building to study dark matter. My assessment, an accident waiting to happen but, I'm pretty dumb and have done no research whatsoever.

    the person who said it was a black hole machine in the first place (and who is getting interviews with major media outlets because they want ratings) is a high school chemistry teacher with no more knowledge of physics than I have of the highway system of afghanistan pre u.s. invasion.


    it is going to be colliding protons, we've been doing this for decades

    a black hole requires immense energy and mass to work






    okay, lemme explain this, a star when it goes out, can go out a lot of ways, two of those are neutron star, and black hole.

    neutron stars have such incredible gravity that we believe that atoms fuse together in them, not like, normal fusion, like, gravitationally induced fusion, like, beyond what a star normally does (iron) like, that's where the really heavy shit comes from

    black holes have more gravity

    because they have more mass


    you need STUFF to make a black hole

    they aren't putting enough stuff into it

    it's like saying you're going to build a planet, or hell, even a whale, with a grain of sand.

    and believing it's gonna work

    we're fine.

    Surprisingly, I understood every word of that. What about the dark matter lab 4,850 feet underground? supposedly the research can't be done anywhere else.

    vectored thrust, two cray supercomputers for avionics, internal bay for weaponry to decrease radar cross section, high tech ECM, and INCREDIBLY expensive, however the unit cost would have dropped like a stone if we'd bought more.


    this generations f-18, but obama wants the program scrapped.

    libfag.

    because of interference, have you ever seen enemy of the state? (will smith movie) and the "cage" that the conspiracy dude has around his shit?


    that's a faraday cage (NSA headquarters, and a lot of other sensitive places have them too, they're good for signals protection, and EMP protection)

    they ward off a lot of EM interference, which wrecks a lot of our computerized instruments

    you need as little interference as possible if you want to research something like dark matter (something we can't detect, but must be there, because stuff is behaving like it's being influenced by gravity that shouldn't be there)

    Anyway, lower it is the less unpredictable interference there is, the earths magnetic field can be compensated for, you making a cell phone call can't.

    Touche. Thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking some crazy biological experiments with the dark matter being a front but, I have a pretty wild imagination.

    Can anything compete with it? I know Russia's coming out with a new plane and China too.

    dave-
    do you study this shit for a living? because if so, im very interested and im wondering how you got started in it. I'm going to be a freshman in college next year and im wondering what to start studying to get into a field that studies this kind of stuff, like astrophysics and stuff.

    I see the B2 flying over my house every once and a while.

    part of that is made in each of the fifty states, so that thre will be a massive outcry of lost jobs when it's cancelled.


    it's VERY manouverable because of it's thrustvectoring

    that being said, it's the 30,000 dollar pen v. the pencil thing ALL over again, russia isn't going to bother with thrust vectoring, just bigger control surfaces, their fifth generation get has supercruise and bigger control surfaces. it doesn't have the same finesse, but it'll work.

    they put some good weapons on them that can actually hit f-22's then our air force is in trouble, esp. with obama thinking the f-35 is good enough.

    dipshit doesn't understand the model we've been using for the past fifty years.

    I've heard the JXX may be better than the F-35 and the Chinese can make them much cheaper.

    Since you mentioned Higgsless models the other night I've wanted to learn more about them since I'd been thinking the standard model was likely the most accurate one since we've invested so much money and support into the LHC. Do you think the Higgs boson exists or that it's likely another model will prove correct? Are they essentially trying to create Electroweak forces or whatever that would have occurred during the Big Bang?
