Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

to whom it may concern:
anyone that posts here that isn't l(oonie)chic or rhsow55 is a bush stooge.
rshow55 has lost his mind.
l(oonie)chic has only partially lost hers and can still be understood on a marginal basis.
She has an above average taunting ability, appears to be from austrailia and in her spare time collects mollusks from the seashore.

The Background of Ideas
Shakespeare lived at a time when many beliefs were being sharply questioned. This section of the site describes some of the debates, beginning with a discussion of some views of nature inherited from earlier periods, and exploring the ferment of ideas that Shakespeare and his contemporaries read and discussed.

Parallel Universes

BBC Horizons 2002
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2001/paralleluni.shtml

..... an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space, time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form. Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimetre away from us. In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours.

Deomonstrated creative thinking, folks having hunches and 'looking' to find. Showed the value of intercommunication in solving the mystery problem.

Pity there isn't a transcript - most interesting - would be in a Physics Library.
