its because of metastability that metal-crystals would make better shields. metastability is a persistant(tent not tant) dual state that decays slowly. a great example is a rock on the perch of a hill. the thing is that excitation will cause rapid decay, symmetry collapse would cause your metastable hydrogen to collapse from its metal form into a gas rapidly. as a result you really could not find a worse object for radiation shielding; something that evaporate

1) its needs 2) how does not having an influx of funds benefit research? and when did I imply inflation? that was nowhere in there. One) What is needing here? Two) Influx can be interpret as either plenty or insane amount which was why I see it as inflation. there is only ONE bush who had a father in office, you twit. I dare you to admit you are an anti-twit <img src="http://images.star

My comment make your Victory over me completely nullified.(However you can for TGE, not to insult you TGE) Wikipedia-Metastable as Nuclear Isomer: A nuclear isomer is a metastable state of an atomic nucleus caused by the excitation of one or more of its protons or neutrons or both. A nuclear isomer occupies a higher energy state than the corresponding non-excited nucleus, called the ground state. The nuclear isomer will sooner or later release the extra energy and decay into the gro

ask him for me how having a massive influx of funds bloating our rather measly space program is a nightmare for engineers (dammit, he should want this) or scientists. I would really like to understand the concept behind that, its illogical from any perspective I can think of. I wasn't talking about massive influx of funds(You are implying inflation which is the last thing anyone need). Rather better congress fund(No more of those sneaky budget cuts) and

Columbia was an unforseen(fore not for) accident, not a bungling of funds. Some people could argue that it was foreseen(Example, engineer on ground requiring good picture of the puncture wound and become aware of possible dangerous reentry). the scientific community is looking forward to it as well. Really? My dad is an engineer(Contractor to NASA mean He work for them). He saying to go to Mars is an eng

I won't get too much in foreign politic both of you. Because this isn't the forum to discuss it. As for the Russia space program. I don't even deny the delay but what I am saying is they made up for it. Only one module hasn't been sent up and I notice you said "modules" give me a list of them. All modules, except for the one, have been launched if you read closer. Just remember that despite the low fund level they have tried to held up their promise albeit little late(except f

Sigh, your negative pressure is somewhat low then eh? I never said achieve a degenerate matter stat was impossible. Please actually take the time to read, not flame. Fuel It may be possible to produce substantial quantities of metallic hydrogen for practical purposes. The existence has been theorized of a form called 'Metastable Metallic Hydrogen', (abbreviated MSMH) which would not immediately revert to ordinary hydrogen upon the release of pressure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISS#Pressurized_modules_to_be_launched Sorry to bust your bubble but only two modules on that list was canceled from it original launch date and been delay/not planned. It is the Multipurpose Laboratory Module that hasn't been launched as of yet. All others has been either launch on USA's shuttle instead of Russia's launch platform or replaced/redesign by Russia.

keeping neutronium stable is near impossible, ESPECIALLY with our materials. How would you know that because I question your sanity as a metaphysical. Another reason is wikipedia also contradict the above statement of how difficult it can be to create "degenerate matter". They create Metallic Hydrogens without much difficulty as you claimed. Metallic Hydrogen that could exist

I don't know if this is intend or not. The build panel on bottom right for building(Both defensive and economy) and ships(Frigate and haven't checked capital yet) are in different pattern than the 63 build. I download it twice to be sure it wasn't caused by downloading and still is mess up. For example, used to be for economy build panel first 2 icon on first row would both be mines however it is now capital shipyard and mine. The other mine is where trade post used to be and etc...

I think for NASA that's small change compared the life expectancy of the telescope. I stand by my opinion that, especially now, all spaceflight, manned and unmanned should be a joint venture between all space agencies. And not just in components etc, we should definitely have an IASA. Sorry to bust your bubble but 4.5 billion is a lot consider that other cost are also high.

Oh well that a forum problem clearly. I sometime see your language come across to me as malapropism however I see nothing relative to malaprop. However some comments of your can be somewhat malaprop in context that they get out of hand and consequencely off-topic too. If you actually take time too, you would realize malaprop meant something out of place whereas malapropism is simply bad grammar. No it isn't an "absurd" variation accord to dictionary.
