Damn It.. Nothing Left to Discover

Life became busy...
After a long time, there was a sitting by a group, but not in the Porta-cabin this time. It is in the Barbeque Nation.

The group is eager to taste the food and with the delicious food, the delicious discussion starts...


There is nothing left to invent / discover. People before us, had done everything and became famous. How can we become famous...

Indians made it to list of astronauts who got selected to one way trip to Mars
Even we can send our names to Mars, so that one can say my name is in the Mars. By sending the name, whenever there is a chance of survival on Mars, the land there will belong to those people whose names are sent.

Hmm

Yes, then we can make all the inventions and discoveries in the Mars which are already available in Earth but they are new to the Mars.. Eureka...

Wishing from the Space Station

The venue of Porta Cabin has shifted and the discussion is in the Canteen while having lunch..

In such a case and with such a gathering, the topics fly like anything. NASA the place for innovation in space technology is progressing well.
ISS (International Space Station) is such a place where scientists work almost a year in isolation with the world. But how do they pass such a long time, does they really have so much repair / maintenance works.
There comes the Jeanu and said "they will carry their research in their own areas by staying there along with their routine works". And as always Jeanu also want to go to space station and have some fun.
But what will he do with his Electro-Instru knowledge is a question. And there comes the answer by Jeanu, "I ll see through the telescope and ask my girl friend to come out and say Hi". And in turn Jeanu said "I ll tell her that I saw her from the ISS and convince that a one sided video chat is going on :).
During the conversation, he observes a bird flying in between the telescope and her, then the clouds etc...

Next starts..
Everything in this Universe vibrates with the energy all around. While the objects vibrates, many empty spaces are created and if we identify them and enter into that, then there will be a new dimension of life - an entry to an imaginary world of time control, space structuring, emptiness etc.

If enter into the emptiness during the peak of the vibration we may go to the future and if enter during the valley of the vibration, it may take to the past. So the time has to be slowed down to feel the vibrations and just put the finger into it and you are somewhere in the new world which is past or future.

Shuttling excess water from Earth.

Complying with the crazy ideas generated while encountering day to day engineering shortcomings by us this particular idea should be given some serious thought as it might just be, the solution to the problem of rising sea level engulfing our landmasses as a result of global warming.
Don't ask me, how a lunch time discussion on death and different ways of administering capital punishment deviated into solving the greatest environmental threat we face, because that happens all the time in the porta cabin. So this is how it goes....

A question arose, "Can we not dump all the excess water from the melting ice cap into space." Immediately, someone  interjected by saying, "Can you imagine the number of trips required and the cost involved?" 

Having read about the recent PSLV-C23 launch from India, and the info-graphic depicting its trajectory outside the atmosphere was floating in the sub conscious somewhere. It was a Eureka moment as that very picture in this context conjured up this theory:

What you need:
  1. A tube from the bottom of the ocean to a suitable satellite orbit
  2. A plunger which sits flush inside this tube 
  3. A rocket capable of accelerating the plunger to escape velocity for the length of the tube

 
What you need to do:
  1. Build the tube
  2. Insert the plunger into the tube
  3. Connect the rocket to the plunger
  4. Fire the rocket.

What will happen:

The plunger while accelerating will create a suction in the trailing part pulling the water along the length of the tube setting up a nice siphon which will put the water from the depths of the ocean into a nice and neat orbit around the earth. 



We could even have our own planetary ring as a result of this. err.. which would have some fish floating around in that ring which, if I was fish, I would not be very happy about, but we could put a strainer to filter them out at the bottom of the tube.


Do remember to believe that this could be the only way to curb the rising sea level, which if left to rise could see us all running for the mountains pretty soon. It is thus thought, that we are going to make it happen at any cost.

Since this is going to bring a lot of 'how are you going to...' questions, I want to list out a few immediate flaws with this idea.
  1. Sub Zero temperatures in the higher layers of the atmosphere will freeze the water flowing in the pipes. 
    •  A valid argument. I thank the buzzkill for irking my thought further. insulating the pipe with heat tracing, would be an utter waste of resources. And since I am living in the future, I'm thinking of geosynchronous satellites with solar concentrators, directing the solar radiation from the sun onto the affected area of the tube to eliminate icing.
  2.  We need the exhaust of the rocket pushing against something for this to work. It cannot push against the water that it is supposed to pull along.
    • Well, that is true. But then, we can have the rocket outside the tube holding the plunger through some magnetic magic. Which surely is possible since, as of today, we are able to guide invisible particles form the innards of atoms through accelerators built underground and across national borders, as per will.
  3.  Construction of this contraption.

While I do have some ideas, I am willing to listen to yours' first. So let's bring it on guys.

Get cracking or debunking.
