This sounds all highly concerning.

So, how does CERN deal with this problem, besides squashing any micro blackholes it creates with it's Hadron Collider?

Should We Nuke Mars?

Is it possible to make Mars inhabitable by nuking the surface? Kyle breaks down the possibility of atomic terraforming in this week's episode of Because Science!

Better than hurricanes.

Stealth would be not getting detected; one variant of invisibility would be bending radiation around an object so that what's directly behind the object can be sensed, creating not a black hole, more of a pocket universe.

One assumes radiation is deflected in all directions once the particle beam hits something solid; shielding or enough bulkheads containing it, as compared to a meson blast, which would envelope the blast area.

It really depends on what kind of game and characters the players want. A totally random character generation allows some leeway in the process, which is why in Dungeons and Dragons you could roll four dice and select the best three, or assign results to specific characteristics. Disastrous results ...

As I understand four year military academies, for a free education and a head start in the promotion game, you are obligated to a minimum term of service.

Leaving aside the default Heavy Metal artwork. https://cdn-s3.allmusic.com/release-covers/500/0001/149/0001149836.jpg 1. You have minimum ten tonnes that needs assigning. 2. With or without gravitational plating and inertial compensation, especially on the open section. 3. Could be a convertible, es...

Grav motors utilize technology that somehow interacts directly with the planetary gravitational field, so you have to wonder if it alters local gravity, specifically that underneath it, compared to manoeuvre thrusters that probably in the Mongosian variant pushers that recreate gravitational thrust ...

By default spaceship tonnes are defined as volume.

It's when the rules start mentioning mass, calculations become complex.

One reason they encourage parking at the HiPort could be to minimize any possible impact.

Though it has me now thinking, exactly what happens directly under a vehicular gravitic motor, spaceship or otherwise? If it's a two hundred kay battleship, perhaps increased local gravity field.

Spaceships: Engineering and Planetary Environments

I wonder if fusion rockets or manoeuvre drives are carbon neutral or have other unforeseen environmental impacts?

Like local gravity fields going all wobbly.
