Other areas of science

Hello everyone, and I am going to be delving into other areas of science such as  biology, chemistry, and engineering. I hope to tie these all together somehow into physics, and to blog about them separately, though scientific disciplines cannot be strictly independent of each other they all tie into each other somehow.

USG Kellion

The USG Kellion is the shuttle that takes Isaac Clarke, and his crew to the USG Ishimura in the game dead space. Now the USG Kellion is fascinating in that the back part appears to have a disposable ShockPoint Drive which is used for faster than light travel. This small shuttle is compact, and is very maneuverable. I wonder that in the future what type of spacecraft will be developed, and whether or not there will be any disposable FTL drives that are attached to it though of course I am sure that the ShockPoint Drive is kept on there for as long as it can be used. I just find it cool that this small shuttle can make it all the way across the universe in a matter of seconds by going into shock space.

Planet Crackers?

Now this is entirely science fiction at the moment I was just speculating on the possibility of the planet cracker class starships that are found within the Dead Space universe. It seems to me though that if we ever become an interstellar civilization that planet crackers would be the best way to gather resources for humanity. Though it seems that it will not be technologically feasible until we are at least a type 2 civilization on the Kardashev Scale. The rather interesting thing about Planet Crackers is their gravity tethers which are powerful enough to remove significant portions of a planet's mass. I wonder how such a device could be created. Anyway I love the idea of planet crackers, and I hope that perhaps in the far future humanity will develop them.

Teleportation

I like the idea of teleportation in that you can deconstruct an object at the quantum level, and reconstruct it an unspecified amount of space away. I would not however use this on myself as the original me would be destroyed, and another version of myself would be constructed. This is a problem because strictly speaking I would be dead. Though I hope there is a solution to this problem where one does not have to be destroyed, and reconstructed. We will have to wait, and see because there is research into teleportation, and scientists predict that by the 2030s they will be able to teleport small organic molecules, and by the 2089s should be able to teleport large scale objects. So this research into teleportation should offer a solution along the way that would keep the original individual from being destroyed because teleportation would no doubt play a role in transport, and medicine.
