Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
Didn't Armageddon have a BUNCH of obvious mistakes? For instance, can a nuke REALLY blow a rock the size of Texas in half, and miraculasly have both pieces miss Earth?
Please elaborate a bit more.
Btw, the topic of this thread is excellent.

If I fire breaks out in a spaceship, which has it's artificial gravity generators knocked out, how does the fire burn?
Flames on Earth always reach for the sky due to gravity.
Regarding the OP:
Einstein's theory is just that: a theory. Just because we haven't yet surpassed the speed of light does not mean it can't be done. There is so much we know that we don't know; and far greater stuff we have have absolutely no idea that we don't know.
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
Actually I find the tactics used in space battles to be hilarious. Stargate and Babylon 5 are notorious. Let's have everyone facing the gate to meet the enemy head on as they come out. No flanking maneuvers to hit them from the side orfrom behind. No general quarters UNTIL you see the enemy. lololol. They deserve to get the asses kicked.

I always thought that if you would move faster than the speed of light you would have infinite energy, not if you were going the speed of light?
Well, either way humans aren't going to be able to do it. To my limited knowledge, its impossible for anything to go faster then the speed of light, besides something like a photon : oJohnny_Extremer wrote:

Well in Stargate, you have the fact that most of the hostile races were dominate for years and years, and had nothing really to fear, and can't really adapt their tactics accordingly in an efficent manner. Secondaly, why flank an enemy when their all coming from one specfic spot, which is easily fired on. Cant flank a stargate, not like you can go behind it and shoot them as they come out, doesn't work that way. Besides that, their all terrible shots.Stubbee wrote:

But still, Sci Fi has to be the worst genre ever. I'm actually disappointed that one of my favourite movies is classed a Sci Fi (Butterfly Effect). ;_;
Give the Hobbits lasers and suddenly Lord of the Rings becomes Sci-Fi and not a Fantasy genre.
Some sci-fi novels are brilliant.gene_pool wrote:

Hell, every genre has stinkers and it's own moments of brilliance.

Spaceballs is the true representation of space and how space works with human elements.
True fact.
True fact.
you care too much.
Well gravity is actually possible...at least a simulation of it.
The spacecraft would have to spin at the correct angle and speed to get it to work like Earth's gravity. They do that now. It used to be like fly in space as you eat type of thing.
(#9) can have water underneath the soil you don't know...and you can always assume (since starwars has higher technology) that they can make water.
Space, in many movies, look simpler that it really is (true)
(8. Alien / Human Breeding) it is very possible since we only have limited knowledge of aliens
we dont know what aliens look like, but I am sure there is another guy out there that looks and thinks just like you because of the size of space (if there is a size)

well, they all assume that the visible explosions are oxygen-carbon combustion, and not the fuel cells or reactors exploding, which would occur even in a vacuum.Stubbee wrote:

As for Einstein's equation, it is undefined at the speed of light, but returns to a normal slope after the speed of light is reached, so, theoretically, is you can avoid the exact speed of light (say, by slowing the speed of light in the local area with gravity) It may be possible to accelerate indefinitely.

For #2, they use artificial gravity. They spin the spaceship at a certain rate to obtain gravity like that on Earth.
Well, the article uses 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of a movie that got gravity right. The only planet anyone is ever on in that movie is Earth, so surely they must be referring to space travel, and Ryan would be right.SamTheMan wrote:
