"Robopocalypse

Steven Spielberg discusses his next project, an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's book:

    ""It's a movie about a global war between man and machine. I had a great time creating the future on Minority Report, and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would. 'Robopocalypse' takes place in 15 or 20 years, so it'll be another future we can relate to. It's about the consequences of creating technologies which make our lives easier, and what happens when that technology becomes smarter than we are. It's not the newest theme, it's been done throughout science fiction, but it's a theme that becomes more relevant every year.""

Game of Thrones

Peter Dinklage gives the second season the official Peter Dinklage Seal of Approval™, which is pretty much all I need:

"It's a great season. I was opposed to doing TV for a long time because I thought the quality of writing wasn't very strong, as opposed to film, but there's been a shift in term of the quality of scripts. HBO has attracted a tremendous amount of great writing talent."

Are there any movies that we’re looking forward to this holiday season?
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Red Tails? War Horse? Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol? Sherlock Holmes?

Here’s MONSTER MOVIE:

***Pacific Rim***

Guillermo del Toro reveals that filming began this past Monday on his big monster movie, and he gives this encapsulation of the project:

We are working with actors that I absolutely adore. Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman. It's really, it's a very, very beautiful poem to giant monsters. Giant monsters versus giant robots. Twenty-five-story-high robots beating the crap out of 25-story-high monsters. We're trying to create a world in which the characters are real and how it would affect our world politically, how it would affect the landscape if creatures like this really came out of the sea, etc.

***Dr. Greg’s Corner***

Hi, Matt, Joe, Kerr,

If the moon were right "on top" of the earth (as when the Hulk was
holding them a few feet apart), among other things, it would generate
some **monstrous** tides -- the point between the two spheres would be
deep underwater.  I think the two spheres would also be squashed out
of shape, and might flow together (pulled by gravity) to make a single
larger object.  A few feet of extra distance makes no difference to
things like that.  However, you can't expect totally correct physics
in a comic book, right?

----------

You were talking recently about how to travel to a nearby star.  (What
should NASA do now that the space shuttle missions are finished?)

Here is some rudimentary math.

The nearest stars about about 4 light-years away, and there might be
several in the 8-10 range or so.  If you want to travel 10 light years
in a conventional rocket-like vehicle, let's say we travel at 1/2 the
speed of light (and 1/3 of the speed at which entertainment and
technology collide!)  Then we will make a round trip in 40 years.

To get going that fast, we have to accelerate at 1g constantly for
about *six months* -- compare that to airplanes, which accelerate at 1
(or a few) g for a matter of minutes.

What's more, the rocket fuel we use later has to be accelerated by the
rocket fuel we use earlier, as well as the vehicle itself.  So the
fuel used on the "return" trip has to be accelerated and then
decelerated on the "away" trip, during which time it is just inert
mass.  If there were a refueling station at the other star, you
wouldn't have to carry fuel for the whole round trip.

The most efficient type of fuel (in conventional physics, at least)
would be a mix of matter and antimatter.  Combining them makes light,
which you aim out the back.  Then your back-stream departs at the
speed of light, and gives you more forward momentum than a slower
back-stream would.

(Aside.)  So why doesn't shining a flashlight behind you make a good
rocket propulsion system?  Yes, you are using light as propulsion, but
most of the mass of the flashlight does not get converted into kinetic
energy.

So assume we can make matter + antimatter and store it in tanks as
fuel.  The above figuring means that we need about 5-10 times the mass
of the vehicle (the payload) as fuel.  (I kind of guessed there,
possibly the actual number would be higher.)

So a one-ton vehicle (the size of a car), would take 5-10 tons of
matter/antimatter fuel.  Remember that we will be living inside this
car-sized interior for 40 years!  I hope we don't get too bad a case
of cabin fever....  Maybe you should bring along a deck of cards or
something....  You can't play Starcraft 2 because you will lack an
internet connection.

Also, how much total energy is that?  Suppose we can manufacture the
matter/antimatter fuel with 100% efficiency.  The world power use at
present is in the low terawatts, but more than 1 TW.  Let's divert 1
TW to make the fuel.  At that rate, it would take (I think) some 3
years to manufacture the fuel, i.e. the energy content of the fuel
equals 3 terawatt-years (compare the units to kilowatt-hours), plus or
minus whatever errors I made.  So even to make the fuel is a huge and
slow effort.

The above ignores relativity, and is not done carefully even so.
Including relativity would make the numbers worse.

So, it looks like a journey to another star would be, pretty much,
more or less, surpassingly impossible -- at least on the basis I
described above.  To go that far, you have to either invent some way
of going faster than light, or else a space-warp whereby distant
regions of space become "neighbors" through a tunnel, or some such.

But so far no one has done that.  Efforts in that direction have been
frowned upon, if not by Lady Luck, then certainly by the Ladies
Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, both of whom appear to be in accord
with each other in their distaste for faster-than-light anything.

Maybe you could get to another planet.  A trip to Jupiter would be a
matter of several years, one way, assuming you settle for several
miles/second of velocity.  (Actually it's 3 years at 5 miles/sec,
which is the velocity of the moon launches.)  That is sort-of doable,
but still seems like a pretty long trip.

----------

Some of the anticipations of sci-fi (say from the 1950's or whenever)
have been borne out, or exceeded, by actual developments, but space
and time travel have not been two of them.

For an illustration, you can look at Richard Feynman.  If anyone could
have built a faster-than-light drive in their garage (or a university
or military lab, for that matter) in the 1950's, you would think it
would have been him.  He understood fundamental physics as thoroughly
and as intuitively as anyone.  So why didn't he?  Is it flat-out
impossible?

After the Manhattan project in WWII, Feynman and the rest of those
people went into particle physics.  The atomic-bomb development segued
naturally into the particle accelerators, etc., partly because the
machinery was similar -- and partly because the people involved had
made contacts in the military and government during the Manhattan
project, which they carried those over to become influential in U.S.
science policy:  they could relate science to defense, which made
obtaining funding for steadily larger instruments a lot easier.

Assuming that the war and the Manhattan project hadn't happened, I
don't know if things would have gone much differently.  Maybe people
like Feynman would have gone into particle physics anyway, given what
was known about physics and what machines were buildable.

(You have to do something that you think might have a chance of
success, and there was no obvious angle by which to begin developing
faster-than-light travel.  Imagine yourself standing at a workbench
with the goal of building a drive for a spaceship.  How are you going
to go about it, what screws do you put in where?  Obviously you need
an idea first, and until then there's no point in fiddling around.)

So, at the same time that the sci-fi writers were coming up with a
hundred different ways that space travel might happen, the physics
people were not thinking about that at all.

See you,
--Greg

* Greg Demographics 

* E-book Pricing

* Star Trek Online: Pay for Ferengi

* Bioshock 2
