is there a point of no return?

Answer 1

Yes. Just before you get there.

Answer 2

There sure is.

It is located just a little to the left of the "E" on most standard
gas gauges. If you happen to be piloting some kind of fancy
air or space craft that uses pressurized fuel tanks, the
Point of No Return (PNR) is just a tiny bit to the left of "0"
on the Fuel Pressure Gauge.

Often the gauges lie, and the PNR really is just a little to the right.
But for all situations you normally encounter, "PNR" will occur
as indicated above.

Now, if you desire to get really esoteric on us, I could also
suggest that close approaches to the lip of a Black Hole
would also place you into a PNR Situation, full tanks of
gas or not.

In a similar kind of circumstance, when diving straight down
in an F-4 Phantom Jet or 747 Commercial Jet Airliner,
when your wings fall off, you are more or less in a
PNR Situation. This might be compared to jumping off of the
Golden Gate Bridge...definite PNR when your feet have nothing under them. To late to go back...

Now under normal circumstances, PNR in Earth travel is reached just after you pass the point where you have insufficient
fuel to get back to where you started from. However, there are
always rescue folks, and gas stations you can walk or hitch hike to, etc. So, while messing up a really good day, in my mind these are really not drop dead PNR points. Take riding on a space craft of some type with lots of fuel on board...When the breathing gas pressure gauge suddenly drops to "0", I would say that is PNR, fuel or no fuel. That is PNR. You see, people don't usually figure that in space the glide ratio is just plain fantastic. So once you get up to speed, you could glide and glide and glide...as long as
you have air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and someone to play poker with. Inertia, Friction, Stop Lights, Animals in the Roadway and other Traffic make a mess of that on Earth.

Oh yes, one more good PNR is two flat tires - not a killer, but a real big problem.

Answer 3

yes we all make mistakes that is the point of no return by the time you realise , usually too late in human terms . all accidents are caused by reaching the point of on return . be very aware at all times control events (a good guardian angel helps) live long & prosper . boldly go where no one has gone before , to the benifit of all mankind learn all you can , try to make a lasting differance may you never reach the point of no return

Answer 4

The point of no return, is `Time`

Answer 5

a good question!
in my experience, yes, if the return can be returnable!
I am in the midst of returnable!
Will let you know when I get there!
Just to tell you, I am 80% there, but the other 20% is doubtful!

Answer 6

Yes indeed. It is 83 Ford Street, Smethwick, Sandwell, West Midlands. This is where The Garden of Delight once slumbered through endless summers. The last time I visited it was a car park.

Answer 7

The event horizon of a blackhole. This is the point where you can't see matter in it and if you were in it, you wouldn't see anything on the outside. Not even light which moves at 600,000km a second can escape this point.

Answer 8

Return from where?

Answer 9

1. The event horizon of a black hole
2. When you no longer have the fuel to get back to your starting point

Answer 10

Of course, when you reach the stage where you have only enough fuel to get back, then you should not continue on wards. You should turn around and go back whilst you are able to do so.
