Just popping on briefly: if you’re protesting in school walkouts today…
I’m proud as fuck of you.
Thank you for excercising your right to protest and stand up for a better future.
If you can’t protest for whatever reason - home schooled, sick, afraid of punishment.. know that that’s ok. Do what you can and support those who are protesting.

Okay so this is one of the WEIRDEST FUCKING THINGS humanity has stumbled upon in science and it gives me a nerd boner that can be seen from Alpha Centauri.
- As far as we can tell, this fucking thing generates reactionless thrust. Let that shit sink in: The EM Drive does not require fuel. Only electrical power.
- It might be warping space. Emphasis on might because nobody fucking knows right now.
- Okay I know I said it already but AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL THIS IS A !!REACTIONLESS!! !!THRUST!! !!DEVICE!! you have no idea just how goddamn amazing that is
mark my words this fucking thing is going to REVOLUTIONIZE the design of satellites and scientific probes
and just think of the potential it might have if its thrust increases proportionately to the power fed into it
THIS IS FUKCIN HUGE MY DUDES

Reblogging this just to restate how fucking huge this is.
Imagine you blow air into a balloon and tie it off. Then when you untie it, you let the balloon go and it flies all over the place. This is how propulsion works. This is what Newton’s Third Law is based on. That the air is coming out and pushing the balloon forward.
The EM drive is moving forward when the balloon is still tied off at the end.
I heard about this theorized not some time ago and thought it was amazing!
The fact that it’s been thoroughly peer-reviewed and still stands up is nothing short of absolutely astounding.
This device works, and no one is quite sure how or WHY it does. It defies our current understanding of why physics work the way the way they do. Which mean basically means that we need to re-evaluate and refine our laws of physics because we have discovered empirical evidence that we’ve got something wrong. And trying to fix our math to accurately describe the universe is going lead to new discoveries about the fundamental nature of reality. IT’S MIND BLOWING.
Not to mention this device itself, if we can elaborate and expand on it, will change how we do propulsion. This might the next stage of propulsion technology. To the people a few decades in the future, combustion engine propulsion technology will seem as silly, outdated, and quaint as steam propulsion or horse-drawn carriages seem to us.
THE FUTURE APPROACHES.
god I’m such a nerd

This is hugely important stuff. A lot of reports on this thing talk about how it “breaks the laws of physics,” but this is an inaccurate oversimplification. The reality of it is much more profound. If this thing indeed works, and the results we’ve gotten thus far can’t be explained by some sort of experimental error, it will redefine our understanding of physics. In other words, the laws of physics aren’t being “broken,” we’ve just been wrong about physics the entire time.

I may be behind current information, but the Discovery strikes me as most reminiscent of a Vor'cha class cruiser, which was TNG-era and would have come after this part of continuity, no?
Doesn’t remind me at all of the Vor’cha. If anything, it reminds me of the original series/movies Klingon ships.
Actually, Discovery appears to be the same design as the starship from Star Trek - Phase 2 back in the 70's reboot.
My boyfriend is actually mad at me/won’t play pathfinder with me because i decided to make a character that was sexually ambiguous/used his charisma to manipulate people and has a (relatively fucked up, but normal for his tribe/people) past.
And this is kind of pissing me. He’s fucking kink shaming an rpg character.
Really fucking pisses me off. It’s fucking FICTIONAL.
Wow. just….wow.
I am kind of curious of what kink he is shaming since you didn’t mention it, but either way it sounds like you need to have a serious talk with him. I play D&D with my boyfriend and we are pretty cool with us playing promiscuous characters. There is a line though of taking things to far or to graphic that we don’t cross. Other then that we are secure enough in our relationship to know that it is fantasy and not reality. I really hope your boyfriend comes around. It doesn’t sound like he’s being fair about this since you made it seem like he has played a sexual character before and is not upset that you are playing one. For those in a relationship that play D&D make sure you have a D&D boundaries talk before you start playing together. It makes life a little easier and less awkward.
It may be fictional, but withholding REAL sex will invariably bring him around. Silly sot.
