[QUOTE="RCP, post: 281827, member: 186733"] This thread is definately going off the rails ;) Look, just because some scientist called Einstein invented the 1st principals of physics a few hundred years ago doesn't mean the rules can't be changed or improved. If someone had asked him if we would be listening to music in the future, with a device using no moving parts, and not much bigger than a packet of cigarettes he would have laughed - This device more commonly known today as an Apple iPod or equivalent. A better example would be the latest LCD televisions receiving visual footage without wires, from of all things a satellite orbiting Earth. Would Einstein have been able to provide details on this technology? No, of course he couldn't, so why do the laws of physics have to stop at what he said? Technology moves on... Even in the 1970's mobile phones were just a dream! Remember that many years ago (actually well before I was born) everyone thought the world was flat. Those that said there was more to the universe than a flat world were ridiculed and perhaps flogged to death! The laws of physics are there to be broken! Look over at Area 51 in the USA where technological wonders are tested to their limits. As to the Star Trek "warp drive" not being possible, well it's currently not possible, only due to our current technological restraints, who knows what we will have achieved in another 500 years time? Perhaps a better mcdonalds burger...OK was kidding over the last comment :) [/QUOTE]
