Classroom 4

[Baphomet]

"No Cadet, subspace is the foundation of matter and energy in the universe, therefore it encompasses all."

Baphomet looks at the new Cadet...

"Very well Cadet Hobson, please be seated.

[Rylaan Brish]

"Hydrogen, Helium and Nitrogen" Rylaan began as thought out the process in his head "Ionised Dust and particles" he continued basically rambling at this point "That would denote a Supernova, but the lack of radiation besides the norm would defintly indicate a Nebula. So I say B"

".... and as for a Photon being only light, that's false... it's a quantum of electromagnetic energy, it has no mass, no electric charge, and no expiration, it' not just light. You're thinking of a Tachiyon which is a particle of light that has traveled through a Black Hole and has achieved faster than light speeds. Though in a sense it is light if you are measuring the candela being seen through a retina... I can see where your question would be answered as true... though False is the correct answer"

[Baphomet]

OOC: I read the article and noticed several mistakes, one mistake is the mentioning of Helium as the catylist in the calapse and subsequent creation of a Blackhole, this is incorrect as Helium is Inert, stars burn so to speak on Hydrogen.
When it comes to Star Trek science, there are more reliable Internet sources such as www.ditl.org www.ex-astris-scientia.org try them.

1. ASTRONOMY: [Let's begin]

[Baphomet]

"To a point"

"On the Quantum level, there is suspected to be subspatial wormholes and given that these micro-wormholes can become macro-wormholes depending on the gravimetric forces applied.
Having said that wormholes are not a fold in space but rather a quantum tunnel, hence the term quantum tunneling.

As a vessel can warp space, another can fold space, which is in essence an extreme version of the former, that is about it.

Next we shall discuss molecular and particle physics, then the various sciences.
I will just wait for our other Cadet to post a Statement/Question."

NOTE: For Stellar Cartography and Planet/Star classifications you can use the Avalon's Main Computer. (EF's Database)

OOC: I do not believe that we really need to cover that is so obviously pointed out in the Db.

[Rylaan Brish]

"I was thinking of Applied Sciences, with a focus on the technological applications."

[Baphomet]

"Congratulations Cadet, ten out of ten."

"Report to Avalon CO for posting, Live long and Prosper."

[Nekturn]

This is were the Basics of Science will be taught.

[Dominic Hobson]

He took the seat and took out a small PADD for taking notes.

[Dominic Hobson]

He sat and thought for a moment and responded.
"I think it is B, Nebula...And for Photons I answer 'True'.."

[Rylaan Brish]

OOC: What's funny is that the first site you list, which is a great source btw, thank you... Actually supports my case http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> If you look up the Voyager Episode :Parllax, you will see the following:

"This episode is one of the biggest Bad Science eps, even by Trek standards. An event horizon is not a "powerful force field", but rather a dividing line drawn around a mass at the point where the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. It's just as arbitrary as the international date line or the arctic circle on Earth's surface. And since Voyager can actually go faster than light, then there's no real reason why the ship couldn't expect to fly into and out of the event horizon of a black hole quite comfortably."

[Baphomet]

Baphomet raised her left eyebrow at Cadet Brish http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  and then looked at her computer terminal...[Continues]

"It seems that I have finally received the curiculum for this science class and I shall display it for you on the Main Viewer..."

"As you can see their is a variety of subjects here, so instead of teaching you these broad range of subjects I will try a different method and we shall simply discuss each one, like having a simple conversation."

"It is illogical to do so, but seeing as there are so many elements connected to each it might be prudent."

OOC: In other words, I am not going to keep you in this Digital classroom for 8 stardard earth years. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Rylaan Brish]

"Hmmm... that's an interesting statement. And for the record, I know very well who the teacher is here. I stated what I knew, and expected you to amend my statment. As for Wormhole Travel being temporal. It makes sense only in the vaguest of senses to me. If a wormhole is a fold in space, then wouldn't it stand to reason that the reason wormhole travel is so swift is that it truly is that swift as the distance between one side and the other is shorter than the actual distance?"

[Baphomet]

"Well Cadet Hobson I wish you all the best, Cadet Brish you might have to do the engineering course also, I will chase that up."
