Further brief commentary on the flick, Avatar

Well, something to write about here.  As some folks who may be familiar with this blog, you may recall several posts about space colonization.

There is something wrong here about the use of anti-matter for propulsion.  Seems that I read something long ago that even with this form of propulsion, a trip to the nearest star is out of the question.  The distances are much too great.

One thing that I never did cover in those type of posts is warp drives.  This concept was proposed in the fictional TeeVee series, Star Trek.  Whether or not the creator of said series, Gene Roddenberry, knew of the possibility of such a drive is unknown to me; however, the physics behind this was studied by a Mexican physicist Alcubierre.  The concept may not be feasible, however.

Without such a means of space travel, a trip to the nearest star may never happen.  Faster than light propulsion is the only way that this can be done, if it ever can.

The anti-matter propulsion of the movie is just a prop device.


update on the avatar film post:

After writing a bit about the movie, here's some more.... I've seen the movie one time before. Watching the thing again, my reaction is that it is an anti-American, anti-west, anti-white propaganda flick. Pretty typical crap coming from the left.

It is very cleverly done. I'm pretty hard boiled, but I think this thing was almost getting to me. That is an indication of the scope of the problem that we have.

These media people are enemies. Even though they benefit from our system, they are undermining it, and ultimately, they will destroy it. That is, unless they are stopped.

How can that be done??? Anybody's guess is as good as mine. The last people I want to defend is the corporations. But these people don't hate the corporations, they live off them... Assholes.
