unoffical q&a thread

So I was thinking why don't we have floating islands. We could set them up on a big platform and have a huge turbine keep it afloat. I know what your gonna say "Thats a lot of gas". Thats why I say we use solar powered panels on top of what ever we put up there, and for the bottom, we place wind turbines and it generates its energy from the huge turbine above it. All of this will need rocket fuel to get up there but once its has enough energy stored it can use the reusable energy. I know it has a lot of holes but its just an idea I had in Algebra 3.

As neat as that sounds it would probably be a lot cheaper and safer to build an island on pillars. Although buildings and roads floating on water could also be a possibility...

Yeah so solar panels are terribly inefficient; you aren't about to float anything massive on solar. On that note, wind turbines operate on the principle of drag/air friction. Unless your wind turbine was 100% efficient, you'd be losing energy to simply buffeting the wind. To hammer the point home, making a turbine would only be useful if you could violate the law of conservation of energy... which isn't a go.

But yes, a giant float island is more reasonable. The force of buoyancy (IIRC) is determined by the weight of the water displaced by volume. So, if your island is too heavy, just make it taller (provided your ballast is less dense than water or you're just going to sink faster)

I searched it up and I got a link to this Portuguese Wikipedia page. It's an example of the Caesar cipher being used. After translating that to English, it got something similar (but not exactly) to "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG", which is a common English phrase used to show each letter being used in a brief sentence. It matches up with the English page so that's what I'm guessing it is.

you know, has anyone ever thought of a realistic solution for the universe itself?

we live in this infinite cluster of space, but is it truly infinite?

what was before our big bang? what will happen after?

this raises another question: do all effects need a cause?

certainly there must be something that started everything. even before the big bang. it could be septillions of years before the big bang.

and what about our universe? how was it made? I cannot fathom the idea of "nothing out of nothing". what made space? what is?

One of the only good ideas people have come up with is that a deity created the universe. It's possible that was the case.

That doesn't matter. If you have a deity outside of the rules of the rest of the universe, it won't need to be created. If you assume that the deity needs to be created, then you're in an endless loop.

Exactly how many cranes are there in Ukraine?
Are Ukraine's cranes called "U-Cranes"?
Is it called the "U-Crane" because it's user-friendly?
Are U-Cranes even user-friendly?
Is the U-Crane better than Apple's iCrane?
If so, why?
Is there an iCrane?
Can you use U-Cranes outside of Ukraine?
Does the U-Crane even exist?
Are they hidden by the government?
Why would the government want to hide these cranes?
Do they possess great knowledge?
Is the moon really an alien spaceship?
Did we really land on the moon?
Are these U-Cranes alien technology?
Did they come from the moon?
Are the U-Cranes actually aliens themselves?
Do they want to kill us?
Do they want to help us?
Do they want to go back home?
So many questions, so little answers.

a lot

Are Ukraine's cranes called "U-Cranes"?
no

Is it called the "U-Crane" because it's user-friendly?
you're assuming ukraine's cranes are called "U-Cranes", so no

Are U-Cranes even user-friendly?
no

Is the U-Crane better than Apple's iCrane?
yeah

If so, why?
iCrane costs $12,000 yet doesn't have a proper headphone jack

Is there an iCrane?
ya

Can you use U-Cranes outside of Ukraine?
no, that's against the law

Does the U-Crane even exist?
yeah, but ukraine doesn't call them "U-Cranes", they call them "magic liftey machinery"

Are they hidden by the government?
ukraine has a government?

Why would the government want to hide these cranes?
yes

Do they possess great knowledge?
who? the government? their sum IQ is a 2 digit number, what do you think?

Is the moon really an alien spaceship?
yeppers

Did we really land on the moon?
no, we landed on the moon

Are these U-Cranes alien technology?
no, we landed on the moon

Did they come from the moon?
atlantic city

Are the U-Cranes actually aliens themselves?
uh huh

Do they want to kill us?
hahahahahaa

Do they want to help us?
no

Do they want to go back home?
no, pablo escabar and his mighty henchmen took control of their home planet

because the sun is here to give off light and gravity

if we didn't have a sun it would be really cold like alaska and without gravity all the planets like earth and jupiter would fall down
