I didn't see anyone answer this correctly yet from the posts I've read.

Frist theory: Ice,once it hits the right temp, can turn black , this "dark" ice is very dangerous, the ice will probally not be water, but more of a gas.

Water has no carbon in it, and therefore cannot burn into a charred form of "black" water.

This weeks topic is......."A sword or some other item of your choice block a bullet form a gun of your choice and or some other projectile"

It can indeed split a bullet; however, you would need to be incredibly lucky, have insane forearm strength to hold the sword while it is happening, and an incredibly sharp blade in order to split it.

Mostly it will probably just smash into the blade and push it back into you because your edge isn't sharp enough.

If you get one bloody hell of a grip, strong arm muscles, and a strong sword I think it should be possible (though it also depends on the gun eh?)

But hey, even in a life/death situation, noone can react faster than a bullet. It would all be luck if you managed to block one.

He didn't actually say "split", he meant blocking, based on my interpretation of his posts. The blade, as you say, must be incredibly strong. There are different ways of holding the blade, however, so well built muscles are most likely not needed when you hold the blade in a certain way.

Well u can use the side of the blade, like most people say depending the the material:eek:, Cutting is pretty extreme though :shades:.

P.S. What about other objects like knifes and old guns like in the renaissance age guns?:confused::nuts:

Blocking isn't exactly a complex topic, you put a stationary object in front of a moving object, and the stationary object absorbs the momentum of the moving object, resulting in two stationary objects, with respect to each other.

The simplest possible demonstration is a moving object that is not connected to any other objects (like a bullet), and a stationary object connected to the Earth. Anything moving at the speed of the Earth will be considered to have 0 momentum.

One of four things will result
1. The joint between the stationary object and the Earth will break, resulting in two moving objects both moving at a slower velocity than the original moving object.
2. The momentum of the moving object will be absorbed by the stationary object and the Earth, and all objects will have 0 momentum.
3. The moving object will break through the stationary object.
4. The moving object will rebound off the stationary object.

So yes, if you take a sword made of a harder metal than the bullet, and of sufficient thickness, and lodge it deeply in the ground, then somehow shoot it with a bullet, the sword will block the bullet, and you will probably lose an eye to a ricochet. :p

Also, since you haven't tested these hypothesis yet, they are NOT theories.

Yeah, you are right. But if an object acts a net force on another object, that object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The stationary object, in order to not accelerate, must be strong enough to absorb the momentum of a speeding bullet.

Ok, fine you got me there form now on i will called them hypothesis, and is there any way to make the object go faster?

On your first post 0 Kelvin, the absolute zero is −459.67 °F. Certain materials may react to that extreme of temperature, and I wouldn't doubt something would turn black cause of it.

Sorry for the late post, I forgot about it yesterday, any way the new "Hypothesis" is about the “time machine”. So far no one has built one yet although there are several attempts in the 90’s. According to Einstein it is impossible to travel “back” in time, but did he ever say u couldn’t go forward in fact we are going forward in time right now, but can a machine actually make u go in time forward at a faster rate. Rather then 1 sec per sec why not 2 or 5 or even a whole min.

P.S. there is no ps

It is a plausible theory of time travel, to go forward faster would mean to slow down yourself so much that time around you seems to move faster when really you're just really slow.

Also another fact is you cannot change the past under no circumstances because if you did "change" the past, then how come the present day is the way it is? The presence of time travel is ultimately useless due to no matter what you do, we're stuck in the same time.

EDIT: Watch Bender's Big Score (the new Futurama), Time Travel is a paradox ^_^

Sure u can change time, if go to the year 2000 and plant a bullet in the wall and go back to your own time u will the find same bullet if the same wall, it is a very bad idea to change time thoguth due to the fact that u don't know how much u will change.

P.S. please do not think about time changeing too much or you will go insane.

I've been insane since I was born.

And trust me, that bullet was there before you went back in time. Thats how it works, present day doesn't change, history cannot change, its a fact of time.

Otherwise, the universe as we know it, wouldn't exist. It would implode upon itself.

Going forward in time already happened.

Astonaughts going up in a shuttle go forward in time by a few seconds. How?

The closer you are to the speed of light the slower time effects you. If I went at the speed of light and age fire years, you would be in your 40s or 50s.

This weeks topic is not a theory, but more of a question.

Is infinate energy possible? Can there a source or can something create energy out of nothing?:confused:

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
