When will it happen?

This is the post from a while ago -

"They say a light year is the distance travelled by light in 1 year. So now if some star is said to be 10 billion light years away, it means it must take light some 10 billion years to get to us, which means that whatever we are seeing of that star at this time is actually 10 billion year old story & what may exist that far right now might be very different than what we can see"

Analogous to the above concept, theoritically, anything travelling (towards us) faster than light would always be invisible, isn't it? If, at this time, something is headed for earth, travelling faster than light, we will never even see it before we are hit. Armageddon without warning... any of you think that could be a possibility?

A shadow universe in which our bodies exist in a compressed two-dimensional form. This could mean we live in a hologram. Is this scary or what? What's your opinion on this matter?

Because it involves the collision of two branes (membranes) .The universe is flat! Its possible another universe will collide with ours in the near future as there are other membranes floating out there in hyperspace. What do you think?

The practical pplications are potentially enormous. At the present, problems are you can't transport an object faster than the speed of light, and you can't make copies of things you transport, it takes the original only. About the question, how can they transport people onto a parallel world knowing they can't return?

Does anyone see the similarities in the String theory and what Castaneda describes as seeing in his books? I think the unifying theory is staring at us!

Example: Wednesday ends at 11:59 pm and Thursday starts at 12 am? Why not have it end and start when the sun goes down and comes up?

How did physicists explain solar energy around 1900 when classical physics was at its zenith but nuclear physics was unknown?

The real question: Comets are small bodies, a 20 miles diameter is considered a big one. When one of these bodies approaches the sun, the material sourrounding the body is proyected into space due to the solar wind, displaying a tail that can be millions of miles long. When the comet moves away from the sun it seems to recover the material what is said consists of dust and gas. How can a so small body have a gravity so intense to pull so light particles from millons of miles away back to its surface?

On the space shuttle's orbiter there is a special toilet that pulls waste away from the body with a negative airflow. The negative air flow is created by a fan called the "slinger". In one mission, the fan was turned upside down resulting in waste being pushed back out of the toilet. Does anyone know which mission this was and/or the astronauts involved in it? Thanks.

Well, everything in the universe pertaining to gravity can be calculated with one equation because of Newton
And Albert Einstein aid the progression of Newton's work with his physics, but with quantum mechanics, can this really be done?
