Time Stands Still Because it Does not Exist

Our daily lives is an illusion. We look at clocks and watches but they measure nothing ◘1 up still we time at am exist it aged timer it stands news an nursing ◘1 Is time real? Does it exist at all? It only seems to work when one is in close proximity to it. Entropy is considered the norm. This is when a process goes from order to disorder. A scrambled egg cannot unscramble itself. This is a belief: it is not strictly true. Soft-scrambled eggs can become whole again if you wait 13.8 billion years.         ◙2 ok stands in still to Using or exist timely ◙2 A moment in time is variable, not constant. Moving toward an explosion brings the present forward. Going away slows it down. In this case there are two nows. Tests were done to find out if sequenciality moves backward. The result was that time doesn't exist. This means that Einstein's conclusion that nothing can move faster than the speed of light is not correct. Things certainly moved across the nascent universe instan

Scramjet Pushes the Technology Barrier

Technology: Scramjet is tested at Woomera. Technology never stands still. Mankind progressed very slowly for centuries, but now things move forward at a rapid pace. Air transport could change dramatically in coming decades. The US and Australia are testing a hypersonic rocket that can travel at five times the speed of sound. Because of the angle of liftoff, together with takeoff and landing speeds, you couldn't really enjoy a lunch and drink while sitting in your seat. Woomera in South Australia is the busy testing site. The project is not aimed at space flight. Passenger travel is the main goal. A journey from London to Sydney is estimated to take two hours. The arduous passage though would mean taking your meal preferably after the flight. Australia helped develop the scramjet which uses oxygen from the atmosphere for power as the jet rockets upward. Consequently, it does not have to carry heavy and expensive fuel. Tests began in 2009. Norway and Germany are

Scramjet Launch

Though Australia is the world's leader in development of the scramjet, it needs partners to meet the objective of successful launch. The Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) led by the University of Queensland has put together a group of 13 to test the rocket. The launch will take place above the Arctic Circle in September. Preparation of the rocket has begun in Norway. There is a learning curve. A lot is expected to be learned from the project. Hypersonic physics and combustion is a relatively new area of research. The aim is to be able to launch satellites cheaper. The overall cost of the launch is $14 million, believed to be money well spent. There is no doubt that participating scientists will be nervous on day zero. The two-stage rocket will leave Andoya Rocket Range and soar to 320 kilometers. When the thrusters cease it will gently fall back to earth in a swan dive. Unfortunately, the scramjet will not be salvaged. It is set to self-destruct
