This is more than a bit off topic but I would definitely like to know more about the use of imaginary numbers. not the theory the use. Can you point me in the right direction?
It's been a while since I've studied electrical engineering, but it's very useful in calculations involving phases (i.e. alternating currents). Also, as minstrel says they are required for the Fourier transform, which is useful in many circumstances, but it's purpose is to take a signal and break it down into the different frequencies that signal is composed of. This works with sound, light, etc., and can dramatically simplify certain kinds of signal processing.
My favourite use of that was in one of the Transformers movies, when the Autobots were commanded to leave Earth by America. So they did, because obviously America speaks for the entire world. Though it would have been fun to see them just shrug, relocate to Russia or China and pick up where they left off defending Earth.
Just a friendly reminder that The Transformers films received funding from the U.S. Department of Defense.
US forces involved in the destruction of a mosque within a sovereign nation citing it as a response to some weird robot scorpion and for some reason everyone just believes them.
gosh---wa gosh---was it? -anti colonial I mean? I am so vacant when I read. I just read without anticipating anything. That tom cruise remake was a flop I refuse to see anything by him-I've had it. he can't act--though he makes all the other actors look great
Impossibly large creatures like the recent King Kong ,defying all scientic facts that would make such a size a veritable impossibility and assuming that the audience is too stupid to know.
Spaceships and fighters that change direction quickly during complex maneuvers without using any other engines or sources of thrust... you know, as if they're flying through an atmosphere.
OG Godzilla isn't too much larger than some of the larger titanosaurs that clocked in at a bit over 35 meters. Though they were long necked doofuses that weren't born from atomic energy, so I imagine that's to be expected.
Very interesting! They also had Rodan, this frekishly gargantuan flying prehistric creature that used its wings to cause hurricane winds and flew as fast as a jet. It even left a smoke trail behind.
They probably know, they just give it a pass because of rule of cool. It's an important distinction. I'm not sure if Wells ever said so one way or the other, but it's a fairly easy connection to make--these mysterious invaders from a far-off place appear, vandalise our civilisation with their vastly superior weapons and then start exploiting us, but prove poorly adapted to our environment. Also, for my money, this is the best ever WotW adaptation.
Probably do while others maybe don't. In any case, making mioney is the name of the game and if it brings in the dough, then why not? Say. that's a cool video about War of th Worlds. Thanks for sharing. BTW If the minds of these creatures were indeed vastly superior to ours, why didn't it occur to them to make sure that they could safely expose their bodies to the Earth environment? For us Earthlings, that is a basic precaution.
I had a book about animals when I was a kid and the tigers were described as being fifteen feet long. I didn't know that they were stretching out the tail and adding its length. Was disapointed when I found out.
True, a ship traveling in a vacume of space will keep going in the same direcction unless an opposing force is applied. The way an airplane moves is with the assistance of an atmospheric pressing against its wing stucture which can provide both lift based on its shape and changes in direction by the use such things as alierons . All which are totally useless in space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron
Even in space you still need to maintain speed with little bursts of acceleration, cause you will slow down over time if you don't. But yes it will continue on it's trajectory, so long as it doesn't get pulled off course by large bodies gravity wells, or having to steer away from an object on a collision course.
