Lets play rate and think about this phrase.

Ok I haven't updated in a little while, so here's a small tidbit.

Escape will make me god. -Durandal from Marathon.

When looking at that phrase one immediately looks and thinks, escape from what?
In the original context it meant escape from the universe, so that durandal's mind could grow to infinity.
Yet, what is a god?
By most definitions it is a being that is omni-potent.
Yet, as we move into the past, we observe that many things we do today are godlike, yet we know that is not true.
Yet there are people who believe that certain technologies are moving into gods area of power.
Yet the same logic applies here as well, to call us gods is absurd.
We are still confined by the laws of physics and every other physical law, or loophole for that matter.
Therefore even if we do develop things like teleportation, FTL, and zero point energy.
We are still confined by those exploited loopholes, and undiscovered principles.
Any god worth his, her, or its salt is never constricted by the laws of any one universe.
Therefore, how do we know that gods extract there power from sources we can not comprehend?
How do they break all laws, and logic for that matter then?
Its because it is innate to them, they are chaotic beings yet, being of order.
They can play both cop, and robber, for their actions are never restricted.
They can contradict themselves, they can die then live again.
Then how can we become like them?
The only answer in this limited universe is brief.
Escape will make us gods.
...
Ok maybe I lied a little and gave you a little too much of a philosophical workout.

What a funky idea.

This giant hybrid blimp/aircraft part of Darpa's walrus program, seems like it will be a useful addition to our fleet of aircraft.

This monstrosity of an aircraft will be at least 300 feet long, or roughly 100 meters.
Like wise it should be able to lift about 100 to 500 (non-metric) tons in its underbelly.
It should also be able to have a Vtol capacity, which makes it easier to land then a comparable sized plane. (I'm looking at you Airbus.)

Unfortunately its seems that DARPA has cut all funding for the program.
Like so many good ideas before it, this too has been pushed to the side.
Yet it seems that there are some good Samaritan out there.
I hear that a cooperation has taken up this idea and is pursing it.
Soon perhaps other deserving projects will be reacused from the scrap yard of ideas by these great Samaritans.

Ok, things are up and running.

Ok, hi I'm Lawman, a student from the united states with a passion for science, politics, engineering, video games, philosophy, and anything else that might catch my eye.

Soon I will most likely go and rant about something on this blog, so stay tuned!
