[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod toyo, get a new dictionary. There have been more than 'six' quarks for many years now. For fun, look up Murray Gell-Mann's speculations on the 'Eightfold Path" ... and see if you can figure out whether he did, or didn't, actually believe quarks exist. Quarks are HYPOTHETICAL 'elementary particles' -- and there are not 'six' of them, there are at least eighteen, in the Standard Model at least (six flavors each with three colors). You might want to read up a bit more on what a hadron is... now that I've told you how to spell it correctly. The definition here: http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/lattice_EU_network/ (in the Introduction) is a better one than that in the "Wikipedia", as it accurately describes the hadron as a state and not a 'ding an sich'. Be aware that electrons are not made up of quarks. jruppert, think a bit more about how you would generate a field such as you describe... don't you think it might be a weensy bit easier to manipulate the spacetime INSIDE a field than attempt to modify the universe outside... particularly referential to a "velocity" frame? Incidentally, this completely stands your assertion about the locomotive's existence on its head: The locomotive (by definition) continues to exist in normal time/space (by any definition, technical or otherwise, of "normal" -- it's the rest of the universe that's been distorted by the field. Sixty million Frenchmen CAN be wrong, if they're all cranked in various ways... The cheese thing is only intended as humor. [/quote] I believe the standard line among trekkies is that the field is an artificial gravitational field, that though is only a size appropriate for a space ship, has a gravitational weight equal to an object far larger. By unbalancing the field - stronger gravity on one side, time/space would flow around the field to the other side, affecting motion.
