#176 Re: Not So Free Chat » The Tunguska Explosion - What was it? » 2003-07-17 20:11:50

Ian

I do not want to be a complete ass, but I have never read something that was quite so mistaken on the nature of RF energy or Static Electricity.  I had always heard it was an Air-Burst meteorite.

What would an air burst meteorite look like? How big of an explosion would it make to produce a big shockwave of dust like Carl Sagan said in Cosmos? Obviously a small meteorite wouldn't make that big of an explosion. So what else could it be? You said something about RF energy or Static Electricity. Where did you hear that?

Ian

Read me

I thought the supposed Tesla connection was interesting, but I'm inclined to believe it was a meteor which exploded over the area.  Last year my husband and I watched a documentary on the Discovery Channel regarding this event.  A butterfly pattern of fallen trees showed up in some sort of scan scientists did.  A bomb detonation was ruled out by these same scientists, for lack of radiation symptoms in the area comparable to nuclear fallout (not to mention this occured 3 decades before Trinity) and lack of any (even tiny) metal shards or fragments discovered by the earliest expeditions to the site.

So...what do you think?

Was it a comet? What would make the trees at ground zero be flattened radially outward? Why are there no pieces of the asteroid or meteor there? And How big waas the thing that hit tunguska?

I tried the new setiathome client, but it wouldn't show me how much data had been analized and it looks like it's frozen when it's analizing data. I won't know when it's almost done or not. I don't think that I will use it much. Are there any more programs like that but more advanced technically?

If it just slows the processing time down, then I don't need it. What I am looking for is a program that would seperate earth based radio frequency interference from interstellar radio noise and still be able to recognize et's signal.

Which program are you talking about. I can only download the ones that are for windows.

I have seti monitor and I would like to know what it means when I have a long green line stiking up above all the other lines. I keep recognizing the patterns of radio frequency interference on my setiathome client. What can be done to clear up the radio frequency interference? Does anyone have a software program that can do that?

#184 Re: Human missions » Why haven't we left for Mars? » 2003-07-10 08:45:16

Ian

If mars every had water, did it ever have an ocean and if that ocean existed, were there tides, possibly from the moon or phobos and deimos? Were phobos and deimos once one moon or did they break apart in some asetroid collision that may have broken up the moon into phobos and deimos? Or were they captured asteroid's?

If people find microbes on mars, then maybe they'll want to investigate it more.

#186 Re: Human missions » Why haven't we left for Mars? » 2003-07-07 12:53:48

Ian

I think that there will be a lot of objections to a human mission to mars. I think that this will happen because I heard somewhere that there was a whole group very much opposed to humans going into space and this was back in the 1960's before the apollo moon missions and the first space mission. What can be done in case groups like that organize against a mars mission?

Also. There are probably many other dictators in the world. Why go after the one in Iraq?

#188 Re: Not So Free Chat » Hydrogen Powered Cars - Hydrogen Powerd Cars » 2003-07-01 14:50:18

Ian

I don't know if hydrogen powered cars will work just because the President said so. What major research has been done on whether or not kenetic energy can be extracted from the potential energy of hydrogen to make the car go? Isn't hydrogen a very explosive element? Look what happened to the Hindenberg Blimp. I hope that the engineers are more careful this time. If hydrogen is used in that way, then the explosive properties could be used to make the car go really fast. Unless of course it explodes in the process.

Could some of the debris that was swept up by the moon during it's formation have led to the debris impacting the moon causing the craters to form?

How can anyobdy go to Mars if we keep fighting and killing each other? Do we want our global civilization to self-destruct?

#191 Re: Not So Free Chat » Formation of the moon theory - Fromation of the moon theory » 2003-06-25 09:19:09

Ian

"spreaded around the solar system..." So there might still be pieces of the early moon floating around the inner solar system. The question is. Where are they now?

#192 Re: Not So Free Chat » President Bush - Great pres or bad pres ? » 2003-06-24 16:21:05

Ian

Also. I havent seen the media show Bush acknowledge that the protsters are there. That's what's bothering me.

#193 Re: Not So Free Chat » President Bush - Great pres or bad pres ? » 2003-06-24 16:18:05

Ian

How are we ever going to get humans exploring other planets unless we stop killing each other for greed and profit. There are many other dictators out there. Why focus on the Middle East all the time? One answer "oil". There's a lot of oil over there that the world needs and what a lot of people are after is money and if they control the oil they can get the money, so the rest of the world probably isn't going to allow this so conflicts happen over greed and power and also most of the western world's religions pay attention to the Middle East because that's whrere their religions started and also there are groups over there fighting because they don't like each other and because they are different. Bush probably wants to get control of some of the oil over there in order to get money.

#194 Re: Not So Free Chat » Formation of the moon theory - Fromation of the moon theory » 2003-06-24 10:27:38

Ian

Maybe there are very very small pieces of that debris orbiting the earth that are too small to detect but could only be detected by very sensitive equipment If there aren't, then I'm wrong and the current theory of how the moon formed might be correct. Then again it might not be correct. I might be wrong about that.

#195 Re: Not So Free Chat » President Bush - Great pres or bad pres ? » 2003-06-23 06:10:18

"Yes bush has been a great president!!!"
A great president? He has ignored all the protests against the wars that he is fighting and he and John Ashcroft forgive me if I accidently spell it wrong. Anyway, John Ashcroft has influenced Bush to pass the "Patriot Acts 1 and I don't know about the second one yet. I think that they have said stuff about balencing civil liberties and freedoms although I don't agree with that. They are allowed to have their opinions as well as I am allowed to have mine. I am allowed to critize him about what he's done as president. Right? I think that he has been influenced too much by John Ashcroft. Why can't he start thinking for himself? And also, why doesn't he acknowledge that the protesters are there?

#196 Re: Not So Free Chat » Formation of the moon theory - Fromation of the moon theory » 2003-06-22 21:04:06

Ian

What I'm asking is whether when the Mars sized asteroid impacted the earth debris could have been left over and orbited the earth. If that happened, then there could still be some fragments of that Mars sized asteroid still orbiting the earth or perhaps some fragments of that Mars sized asteroid may have fallen into the earth's atmosphere and became meteroites. Could that have happened?

#197 Re: Not So Free Chat » Formation of the moon theory - Fromation of the moon theory » 2003-06-22 15:25:14

Ian

"Canup's early work, presented in July 1997, suggested the debris from an impact might not make a moon, but only a swarm of moonlets. Her later work (fall 1997) led to more "success" in aggregating the debris into a single moon."

What if the moon impacted the earth and while this was happening had some debris come off of it and what if it is still in orbit around the earth? What if also some of the debris could have fallen into earth's atmosphere as meteorites? Could that have happened?

#198 Re: Not So Free Chat » Formation of the moon theory - Fromation of the moon theory » 2003-06-22 07:02:07

Ian

Hi. I would like somebody to clear this up for me. I heard of a theory that the moon was formed when an asteriod impacted the Earth. I just want to say that if that happened, there should still be a crater somewhere on this planet that has the diameter of the moon. I would just like to know where that crater could be? Does anyone have any theorys?

#199 Re: Human missions » Size of the ship that would go to Mars. » 2003-06-18 16:15:41

Ian

How big would the ship that will eventually go to mars be? I think that the ships that eventaully go to mars should be small at first so that they would accelerate faster when a lot of force is applied to the ship like nuclear propulsion so that the ship could get to mars in a much shorter time. How big does anyone think that the ship that would go to mars have to be?

#200 Re: Human missions » Effects of long term weighlessness - Effects of long term weightlessness » 2003-06-16 17:58:44

Ian

Has anyone considered the effects of long term weightlessness on the long journey to mars? Are there any solutions to this problem? Can there be artificial gravity?
