Dr. Emmett Brown: Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine.
To: Miles the Slasher
Let's just hope if they get this thing going they remember their conversion tables between miles and kilometers. It was pounds and Newtons.

And just think if you were light years away, and this thing pooped out. Wow, how lonely would -that- be?
Depends on who your traveling companion is. If I'd taken my dog to Mars, for instance, I would not be lonely at all. If I'd taken my wife, OTOH, it would seem like an eternity.

'I would think they'll let you live wherever you want.'
"Good. Then I will live in Montana, and I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me, and I will have a pickup truck...or a...possibly even a recreational vehicle..."

It's not the speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

......and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
Oh yes.
No papers?
No papers. State-to-state.

AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government. Greeeat.

You mean layover and spacecraft change at Moon Base Gamma

The selection rules for Heim theory haven't been worked out yet (or at least remain unpublished). Unless forbidden by these, Heim theory calls for the existence of neutral electrons, not yet observed (the relevant parameter space has been well explored - if neutral electrons were present, we should have seen a few by now).
It could turn out that all transitions involving the neutral electron are forbidden - so there would be no inconsistency of Heim theory with reality, at least for this (significant) issue. I believe there are several groups working on this problem - for example, a group at the Perimeter Institute (Waterloo, Canada) led by Lee Smolin; though, more of their efforts are geared towards developing quantum loop gravity (especially work on spin foam).

Found a little backgrounder piece
here. Americanantigravity.com strikes me as a tinfoil site, but you never know. What is Art Bell saying about this?

I will never go unless they have a smoking section on the flight.
