    What Earth would look like if land and seas were reversed.

    There is much more surface so it is possible that there is much more fossil fuels - coal, oil etc. So it is possible to be ideal world for hard sci-fi steampunk civilization.

    New Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON)

    Isn't it interesting how everyone intuitively started to call this comet ISON? Could someone predict that? (I personally hate to name it ISON. It's C/2012 S1! :) I don't like when words or abbreviations for something get more meanings when they don't have to.) Too bad I am in Czech Republic...

    Whiteholes = Bigbang?

    It could be that Big Bang. It can no longer gain energy because connection between white hole and black hole collapses immediately. And here's the trick. I think too, that there is no observation of loosing mass faster. So I am against the "Black Bang" idea too. But you still need a some kind...

    Whiteholes = Bigbang?

    Why not? If the matter in black hole will spread out to new space (our universe), than the universe is that matter and white hole could immediately collapse because the "source black hole" on the other side will lose it's matter. But I have another question. How can a black hole make a "hole"...

    discussion: are there any places that complex numbers are necessary?

    But I think I understand DGMP's question now... I would reformulate it - you ask: "Is there any part of physics that can be done only with complex numbers, without any possible replacement (even if it would take to make calculations harder)?" Well... I'm not really sure. There are many fields...

    discussion: are there any places that complex numbers are necessary?

    But vectors are working with coordinates separately unlike complex numbers that have inbuilt them right into their algebra. Complex numbers are not only in plane - if you want space, use quaternions (Wiki: "number system that extends the complex numbers. They were first described [...] and...

    discussion: are there any places that complex numbers are necessary?

    And don't forget that summing physical vectors in space is in fact the same thing as summing complex numbers. When you pick the first two vectors to sum, the plane when they are in is actually a gaussian plane with two complex numbers on it.

    Navy Laser Weapon to be deployed

    Do you think is it possible to damage a satellite in orbit with good enough aiming system? What about high-energy maser? Why there are so many lasers but not so much masers? Is it too difficult to make such an energetic microwave beam?

    Found a really cool free solar system simulator

    I use Stellarium, Celestia, Orbiter, Space Engine and Pioneer but this looks interesting too. It has some special features not included in other software.

    Orbiter 2006 - Anyone still using it?

    Now I use only 2010 but I think that many people still use 2006 because it's the version I could call "The Rise of Orbiter". "Orbiter 2006: The Rise of Probe" :lol:
