not exactly...as wikipedia says [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter] ... dark matter isnt necessarily transparent. We cant detect it by out current sensing methods, but it produces gravitational effects on the nearby objects, is like saying: if isnt bright (radiating) is dark :)

Comment I wonder... (Score 0) 80

Im not a Genetist (INAG), so my question may sound dull or obvious...

but, the virus dna in the vaccine really dont have any function?...

i think the shell only aproach may trigger a immediate response (much like an allergy), but im not sure about the long term protection...

cant a virus use 2 or more diferent kinds of shells?, that is, same virus(or very similar) with widly diferent protein shells?

There's no inherent limit to the amount of kinetic energy we can put into a particle of any mass. The issue for interstellar travel is getting the energy, not applying it. Energy on that scale has an awful lot of mass.

actually...the max energy density is 1 planck energy unit in a sphere of diameter of 1 planck length: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_energy

Anti-Matter is like matter, but with a opposite
property (spin, charge, etc) that nullify between
them, releasing photons (and neutrinos and
another fancy particles)

Actually, you can collide anything vs anything,
but you need to see the quark composition of the
particles to try to predict the outcome (pretty
hard, cause everything will collide vs
everything, primarly the target ones, next the
newly formed particles, just with fewer
interactions...

from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter

"In particle physics, antimatter is the extension of the concept of the antiparticle to matter, where antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. For example, an antielectron (a positron, an electron with a positive charge) and an antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) could form an antihydrogen atom in the same way that an electron and a proton form a normal matter hydrogen atom. Furthermore, mixing matter and antimatter would lead to the annihilation of both in the same way that mixing antiparticles and particles does, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particleâ"antiparticle pairs."

Comment Re:Time compression? (Score 0) 183

mmmm this sounds like taking a signal, make a 2D FFT (Time vs Freq), compress the time axis while expanding the frequency one (thus maintaining the overall information ratio) while reencoding the original signal to match its new freq range, transmiting the signal, and re-encode to original ....pretty much like a mux-demux...
