It is, but it's also in the "not even wrong" category which makes it hard to even start. I'm afraid you have a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of particle-wave duality and where probability comes into play in quantum mechanics. To save some time, we've tested this. Both theory and experiment indicate that under reasonable conditions, in free space electromagnetic fields are "linear", which essentially means that they obey the laws of superposition. Put two waves together and you get two waves moving together. If you want to measure the value of the electric field at a certain position at a certain time, the result would be the sum of the waves' electric fields, very simple. A consequence is that they don't actually interact with one another. Put as many fields as you want; so long as you don't reach such absurd densities that the vacuum becomes birefringent, all you have is just a bright light, with nothing unexpected or fundamentally different compared to only one dim source. By the way, photons aren't like dense spots of concentrated radiant energy; you don't get a photon by having stronger light somewhere. You can think of them as excitations in a field (read up on harmonic oscillators) which are always extricable from any EM field. The theory doesn't work (it's pretty hard to come up with a novel explanation for physics that fits the data), but enthusiasm and creativity goes a long way. Read up on the subject more (eg, David Griffith's textbooks on Electrodyanmics and Quantum Theory are great) and you might stumble onto something

ONCE AND FOR ALL

Unfortunately, for a segment of the boostback one engine was out, once and for all proving the Raptor's unreliability edit: damn I got instantly owned lmso

Unplanned? Did they have any expectation it wouldn't explode?

You can't burn only lox. That's like trying to start a fire with lots of air but no fuel

What If We Could Weaken Or Stop Entropy Within A Scifi Field?
NFUN replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Then you have once again created a supernatural situation completely divorced from reality without enough details to make any kind of actual prediction. The question "What if magic is real?" could be answered with "then Harry Potter" or "then Lord of the Rings" with equal reasonableness, and the de facto solution depends if you're Rowling or Tolkien Create the world you want to build, then come up with the justifications. You don't have the background to do it the other way around -

A wrinkle or a snag? The former I bet you can iron out, but if the snag causes a tear that'd be problrmatic I hate Collins Aerospace with a burning passion so I'm selfishly OK with this news

Is a revolutionary advance in spaceflight imminent?
NFUN replied to Exoscientist's topic in Science & Spaceflight
that's quite an invisible wall of text -
They lack information, sure, but people who will likely fly on 737s definitely have skin in the game dude...

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

Do fermions mediate pairing of bosons? -
so predictable a complete 3rd party could see this coming

An engineer stops not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away

and plenty of generally informed people wouldn't have gotten the memo that it's not on youtube anymore, guaranteeing that many flock to the scam feeds masquerading as something official because there is no official feed to be found

It's almost certain that the fit will be made worse by adding a third data point. Not worth

this is proof that raptors are unreliable and ipso facto full duration burns are neccesary and like such as period comma

They've already had to disable most of the equipment because if power concerns. I'm sure they've got memory to spare -
