Kaberle, Grabovski, and a 2nd for Eberle, Cogliano and a 5th.
- leebrien21


Leafs fans are such morons. How many times do you guys make these stupid proposals? Grabovski is thrown into every (frank)ing offer from you tools, he's poop, no one wants him and you ain't getting (frank)ing Eberle, Hodgson, Tavares or any other (frank)ing top prospect for a pending UFA and a poop soft hockey player.

Putting this into the perspective of technology today, yes obviously both plans are very impractical but one plan is much less impractical than the other on theoretical grounds.

Like you said, it takes a lot of juice to get anywhere near the speed of light since e = mc^2. Ridiculous amounts of energy and it's not even worth thinking about.

That actually is, to me anyway, the most impractical thing about the black hole plan. Getting to a black hole is a problem.

An interesting fact about the gravitational forces of a black hole is that the smaller the black hole, the more violent the tidal forces as you near the horizon. With a larger black hole, the gravity field is so big that little things like us or a small space station wouldn't feel the stress due to tidal forces. This is the same reason we don't feel the Earth's tidal forces.

It would definitely take some energy to escape the gravity well after orbiting but just being in the gravity well wouldn't take any energy. I guess you could figure out how close you could get and still escape with whatever means you have. The time dilation still happens whenever you're in gravity so the closer you can get, the more impressive the effect.

I don't know if anyone will eventually figure out how to corral antimatter in such a way to use it as a power source but I would guess that it will never happen. I think the universe wouldn't allow something like that and there is probably a very deep reason we don't see it happening on a regular basis in nature (I think there's a reason the universe is matter dominated).

As for nuclear fusion, from what little I've read on the subject, it seems a lot more feasible than matter-anti matter annihilation but I really don't have a clue how close anyone is to figuring a practical way of doing it.

Personally, I think humans look at things all wrong. Instead of figuring out how to get more and more power, we need to figure out how to trick the laws of physics.

What an idiot. He should've said the universe is matter dominated when compared to anti-matter, not matter dominated in general. (frank)ing guy.

She never did tell kicksave her mass so he could calculate her total amount of e-power.

give your head a shake, and shake every moron in Toronto's head while you are at it. You guys are the dumbest of dumb fans. Your team sucks, your GM is a moron and yet you still visit these sites and talk about 1967 and how good the Leafs are. (frank) you Leafs fan, you guys suck, you've sucked for a very (frank)ing long time, and you will suck for a lot longer.

Ya, those leafies always bring up 67 as the habs greatest Defeat to the greatest franchise of all time.

Ok we get it, you beat the habs in the SC final, give it a rest already, gawd!

I want to grab every single leafs fan by the dink and just pull really hard...... gay? naaahhhh

That depends,

If you pull it once = not gay

But if you pull it more then twice each = gay

What if the first one was like a trial and error type thing and I wanted to try again?
