  1. Earth wouldn't be a binary planet; we'd be a binary planet if the moon was bigger, and the two revolved around each other. We would have two 'suns' for a little bit. :P

     

    Which would be insanely awesome -- especially the initial explosion. It'd flash, and suddenly it'd become daytime. You'd need UV glasses to look at it though, but that'd be fine, really.

  2. I am no science geek in that area, but if you went that far out you'd probably have so many galaxies light-rays in the way that earth itself would be hard to find. Interesting idea though.

     

    And I think Einstein once said reaching the speed of light is nearly impossible...but we'll see ^^

     

    I think it'd require more knowledge than we could offer, because you'd need to plot a way back. Everything would be in a different place, first of all, because of expansion. Then the galaxy would've moved, and the stars would've moved, and gravity would be bending light, but not the light you're used to... etc... You'd have to have a record of the galaxy for what time you want to go; how else would you navigate.

     

    And you're right, Einstein said it's impossible. The reason's because, according to Special Relativity, the faster you go through space, the larger your mass becomes. To get to light speed, you'd need infinite mass, and that's impossible, at least until we find some new laws of physics.

     

    However, Feymann proved that antimatter was just matter going backwards through time -- so there's a new law right there. :P

     

    Doesn't mean we'll be able to exploit this. I think it was just another way of looking at the stuff, based more off the original ideas of the Dirac Sea, rather than the more standard way of it just being exotic matter.

  3. Aderia--I mean, I understand it, I just have to stop and process after every single stanza. Slows down my reading drastically, and in general kills the experience, frankly. And makes my innards explode.

     

    You should try it in Latin. Because it's not a word-order based language, with a grammatical structure that's been left out of English for ages, you really need to think about what the sentence means. It's okay if you can translate quickly (instantly), but if you're not really able to (everyone), it completely ruins it. There's no flow, despite the poetry. You're constantly interrupted by new words, and stumped by idioms and by constant changes in structure. :P
