    @jalfor (View Post) there would not be  much of a change.  maybe how fast the crew is moving relative to the  earth whic, according to my calculations, is moving 55000 kmph relative to the sun.  then on top of that, theres the gravitational forces of the universe, but u said to forget that, so it would probably depend on the spaceships trajectory towards the earth but in general, no there would not be  much of a difference.

    hmmmm... after much thought, effort, consideration, decoding, rerammificationing, distilling, mulling, redtaping, redtapeuntangling, redtaperetangling, recoding, compiling, 404 erroring, Maj0r 3rr0ring, m1n0r 3rroring, and plain old 3rroring, we have determined this problem takes algebra. =)

    It doesn't matter in which direction you are travelling, relative to space itself. The universe folds in the 4th dimension, like a torus(doughnut). If you go straight in one direction from point A, you'll end up back at point A if you travel long enough.

    Einstein's solutions? There are a bunch.

    Well ...
    I have a question.
    What do you think is more realistic:
    -The brane(is taht how you would spell it in english?) Theory
    -The cosmic Inflation
    I like the idea of tiny branes filled with universes(?). I´m not sure wich one is "true".

    apparantly there is a 1/3 chance that we live in a computer simulation.

    Then lets hope we don´t get no 404s! Or bluescreens.

    Yesterday I took apart my old Dell Inspiron 6000.  It's a 7 year old laptop and when I removed the heatsink from the top of the processor a 7 year compilation of dust fell from the vented part that the fan blows through. Afterwards, I hooked up an old monitor to the back of the laptop and enabled dual monitors on it.  Its running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and this works quite efficiently.  There are some problems with connecting to hidden networks with security but other than that it works pretty well.
