Astronomy & Space - July 2006

A few years ago, there was information presented about the speed of light not being constant. It got faster, out by the edge of the observable universe. I believe that it was observed by the xray telescope we have in orbit. I have tried for some time to find the source of this information.

an explosive force like a bomb or is it due to the elastic properties of the fabric of time. The sudden and drastic reduction of mass/area causing the fabric to contract back together and propel matter away. an example; Say you had a 1000lb man on a trampoline and the trampoline held his weight and with in milliseconds he lost 999lbs. He would be launched.

If you attached an object (say a space ship) to an extremely long cable of remarkable strength (like graphite or diamond) and the end of the cable is cast into a black hole (by "cast into" of course I mean "launched into from hopefully billions of miles away") what would happen? I know that you couldn't pull it back out - an infinite amount of force would be insufficient - but could this be a practical means of interstellar acceleration, especially if life support and DEceleration aren't a problem (like probes)? How fast exactly would the space ship accelerate? Would it at all?

I just read that if humans can avoid killing each other in the next 100 years, we would be able to settle into other places in the universe, but wouldn't that make Christianity and many other religions null and void? How would we be able to beleive in anything if certain religious events happened on our home planet Earth? How would Jesus be able to come onto Earth if we have moved on? Doesn't it bother you that space settlement is possible but we'd be leaving our religious beleifs behind? How would we beleive in anything if we left our planet Earth? Wouldn't it be hard to beleive in an afterlife and a creator if we left the planet in which was created from the creator and the afterlife he gave us?

I think it is possible. But not traveling at the speed of light. I think there is another way of traveling thru time. We only use a very small part of our brain. If we could expand the use of our brain then we could travel thru time mentaly.

altitude, down range distance, and velocity data from pad to srb separation and then to main engine shut down.

Possibly fuel consumption rate for srb's and main engines.

It has been a childhood dream of mine to be an astronaut. This summer I want to visit the biggest and best space exploration museum in America. I am willing to fly anywhere within the country. I heard there is a good NASA museum in Florida, what is it called? Do you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

This assumes that you are not traveling at the same speed as the space station, You will start with a velocity of zero relative to the point on the earth's surface that you are over at the moment.
If you have any novel factors, Be sure to point them out. Thank you.
NOTE: if you believe that terminal velocity is 180 mph, you need not respond. It's not that I tire of hearing this, but we have already progressed past this point.

Are the photos taken by a probe or something blasted into outer space? Actually out of the milkyway? If so how far will these probes go and will they keep sending photos back until they break or crash?

All the "asteroid attention" goes toward one of the large rocks hitting earth...Actually it is more likely that one will hit the moon...as it is, the moon has already taken a lot of hits that the earth may have other wise.
Much of life depends on lunar phases and the moon's gravity. Would we all die, or adapt if this happened
