brian is my favorite pop scientist.

err... 8 mins = 480 s approx, x speed of light... 3 x 10^7 m/s, = radius, x 2 pi = circumference... divide that by 365 x 24 x 60 x 60, you get the speed of earth if its knocked out of orbit... too lazy to do the math, but it should be pretty fast... 2km per second? i duno

Learn not to divert into the rubbish and you will sound sane. Just because the chicken did lay the egg doesn't mean that it always is eaten up. Sometimes, it just rots away because it was unfertilised. Some times, it goes SMACK, and hey, everything failed. And of course, some times, it hatches into a chick... but that doesn't mean it will always grow up. Some times, it dies from sickness, or gets eaten... etc. Of course, there is a probability of it growing up and laying another egg. So on.

problem with that thought is that if we were travelling through space as a planetary spaceship o to speak the earth would collide into a comet, another planet etc. and the earth would be destroyed pretty quickly once the collision took place, imagine an earth sized comet hitting earth thats what itd be like

look up nikola teslas work with high voltage resonance, it reduces the resistance to zero and allows faster than light energy transfer, this was 105 yrs ago! his energy waves were about 1.5 times the speed of light when they tunnel through the earth! tesla disproved relativity with pure experimental science, no theoretical stuff. we can send energy and data faster than light, teslas work is key to this success, there is also patents on faster than light energy devices similar to teslas work!!

Hahah, like, awesome duude. It's really interesting isn't it? The whole being knocked out of orbit.

Wow, I never thought of that before! You're totally awesome!
