When this thing hits 88 miles an hour....

Seriously, there is a postulation that the Large Hadron Collider is being sabotaged from the Future!

For those who have that curious dog look:

The Hadron Collider is built to accelerate protons - those pesky tiny wavicles that enable things to be visible and warm you on a cold day - to 99 percent of the speed of light and then smash two or more of them together. By doing this, they hope to discover one of the basic particles of the Universe, the Higgs boson particle. It is this particle that gives Solid Objects, like you and me mass. You know... real.

Where is my flux capacitor when I need it?

In that Delorean that you saw at the car show.

Dad burn it, Jack! You are absolutely correct! Come, Watson... the game is afoot!

The question I have is...once you invent it and make it capable of slipping sideways in time, how do you keep it in the car and make sure the device itself carries along, not only the casing it comes in, but anyone and everything around it, without bringing the scenery?

Oh, K3vin, K3vin, K3vin... surely you know that the capacitor itself does not create the timeslip. It creates the field that the localized area is encapsulated in. And it's not so much that the field travels through time, but rather, it is the field that holds the localized are solidly in place, outside the flux of time. Time does not stop and so flows around the field generated by the capacitor. That's why the Delorean was so important! The all aluminum shell of the vehicle was perfect for the conduction and containment of the field. It's likely that some other metal would have done as well, or perhaps some sort of metalicized polymer, but let's face it... why re-invent the wheel when you have a perfectly good Delorean sitting right there in Doc Brown's shed?

Moving through the time slip, forward and backward is as easy as tacking to the wind, maneuvering on the river, upstream or downstream.

ooh, thanks! If I write a Nano story.. I need stuff like this for it!

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Kinda cool stuff, yes?

the new iphone has an app for that.
also remember the way computers have shrank over the years soon this 17 mile loop may be the size of a CD Player remember those.

The track loop will probably get larger, rather than smaller. The technology they use to move the photons along is very similar to a rail gun, using magnetic polarization as the motive force. However, I can see making a much smaller version, modifying it slightly and using it as a power cell. Hmmm.... yeah. Sort of a Fission Drive.

Thanks, Chris! A whole new concept of portable power! Ronco's Fission drive! Forget batteries, which you have to throw away use costly rechargers! The Fission drive works on Quantum Technology and uses the power of the atom to create the power to keep all of your appliances running. When used with the Ronco wireless power distribution center, you can forget those clumsy wires and pull your electricity right out of the air, delivering it right where you need it the most!

Thinkgeek.com sells flux capacitors

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Working flux capacitors? Hmmmmm.. I'll go give it a look!

[aoifemacewen.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if they are a working one or not. But I'm sure Chris could get it working.
