When meteoroid contacts with earths surfice, does it looses its mass. I am having talk with some friends and we are fighting does the meteoroid looses any mass when it has the impact with earth. We know it looses it when it is traveling through air till it touches the ground. But once it touches it does it really loose any of its mass.

Basicly is the meteoroid the same once it touvhes the ground and once it stops deep in ground?

Are you answering this from Earth or from your home planet? How are you making yourselves useful whereever you are?

I want to view the rings of saturn and all that other stuff. I already have a pair of 15x70 and I can't seem to see anything! I keep hearing that 7x50's are the best....

If so, this would prove that it is impossible to go back in time because we could never move the solar system back to a particular spot at a particular time.

I'm done with earth men, I would like to try aliens from another planet. I have a theory that they would be better in the sack too. Any ideas of where to go? Is Area 51 still around?

We got lots of amazing things from science and engineering, but every one of them conforms to the various physical laws that we formulated along the way. To me that means it's not possible for interstellar travel to be achieved in any useful way.

OK prove me wrong - give me a scheme that works. But to make it worthwhile:

1. the travellers have to arrive alive, and they have to remember why they came. If nipping through wormholes squashes you into putty, no deal.

2. the travellers who arrive have to be the same ones who set out, not some parallel or entangled identical copy, and not the Nth generation descendents who have all evolved back into pondslime.

3. putting them to sleep for a buzillion years is cheating. Moderate snoozes are lame but acceptable.

4. no breaking the laws of physics, unless you have a good reason why you're so much cleverer than anyone else.

5. But you can invent anything you like as long as is theoretically possible

Tell me all about them, how are they created, how are they destroyed, how do they work, what's their gravity, how big can they be, what's their density...

Doesn't it necessarily follow that the universe, has to be at least 78 billion years old??

At a certain moment, an asteroid has this position in heliocentric ecliptic coordinates. (Distances are in astronomical units.)

x= +0.5877971
y= -2.098983
z= -0.008080998

You are able to determine the inclination and longitude of ascending node for the orbit.

i = 0.003996730 radians
L= 6.170532 radians

You know the true anomaly for that point in the orbit.

Q= 3.14159265 radians

What is the argument of the perihelion for the orbit?

would it be cold enough to keep your body preserved... with out power or machinery? I want to be buried in space so that I might be found, revived, and have what ever killed me fixed in the future...

how much would this cost?
