Theoretically, if there was a spaceship fast enough to beat the speed of light, and if I were to travel in that spaceship far enough to overtake the distance where light from Earth during the time of the dinosaurs has travelled to, whilst at the same time having transported with me a strong enough telescope to view the Earth, then could I potentially watch the dinosaurs roaming the planet Earth through my telescope?

A light year is about 6 trillion miles, the distance light travels in a year.

Aurora (northern /southern lights) are caused by particles hitting a planets magnetic field. The Earth has a magnetic field because it has an iron core. How come Jupiter has a magnetic field if it is a gas giant and contains no iron?

I am writing a sci/fi book and I would like it to be as close to earth as I can in space. Are there any planets in orbit to a near by star that are like earth that are known? And not earth itself.

Is it just a chance that we are living in an age in which the December solstice and June solstice coincide with Perihelion and Aphelion respectively? Will the solstice points drift with time, due to precession of the earth, along its orbit about the sun?

I'm having a hard time deciding what to study in university. I really want to be able to work in space industry. I've been thinking about aerospace engineering for a while now, but I'm not sure if it is the best way to go. I don’t have much time and I’m really confused and the more I think about it the worse it gets. So can anyone help!? Please!?!?

Using the German V-2 rocket dimensions, how high would it fly with today’s technology? It used 6 tons LOX, 4.5 tons alcohol and was 46’ high, 5.5’ across, 28k lbs launch weight, with 1 ton pay load: http://www.ww2guide.com/vweapon.shtml
Suppose we allow 1 ton for a Mercury-style crew capsule and 1 human occupant. Replace the riveted steel, say with titanium. Use a better fuel and better rocket engine. Could we get it in orbit using today's methods and materials?

The real question is, does anyone here know how to do the math?

If antimatter is reckoned to be equivalent to matter going the wrong way through time, and our universe apparently consists of only our kind of matter, wouldn't another universe going the other way through time neatly solve the parity problem?
