JAM Sunday October 21, 2018 End of the year lunch/dinner meetup

[Comin' in Hot]

I was going to make a last minute appearance but things didn't work out.

I was going to make a last minute appearance but things didn't work out.

Oh snap! That would have been so great if you showed up, Derek. We are thinking about Weyerbacher's so maybe we'll put something together in another few weeks.

Keep me posted, I’ll try to make it.

Joanne and I had a great time at lunch. The Longhorn was a great selection.
Please tell Eric that I have a book for him to read.
The book is titled: "Why nothing can go faster than the speed of light"
It was written by one of my grad students (Dave Zimmerman)

We have to do outings like this more often, just to keep our friends close.

[Mr. Man]

While gravitons are presumed to be massless, they would still carry energy, as does any other quantum particle. Photon energy and gluon energy are also carried by massless particles. It is unclear which variables might determine graviton energy, the amount of energy carried by a single graviton.

If my theory is correct then you need to get a movin' on a machine that can convert said energy into engines that can achieve Warp. Good luck Jim.

[jsignorelli]

Technically, we already have such an engine. Plasma drive rockets, such as we use to reach the outer limits of our solar system, achieve extreme velocities, although very slowly. As their speed increases, so does their mass (thanks to E=MC^2)

As mass increases, the warping of space around the increased mass also increases. Just go fast enough, and you'll reach warp speed, curve space, and enter a dimension where time either stands still.......or goes backward!
