[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] Pardon me Aban, but you said that the Pheonix accelerated to near light speed before making the jump? Do you KNOW how fast they'd have to be going to reach near light speed? If they were going that fast and accelerated to near c in the timeframe depicted, they WOULD be crushed by the mounting g forces. Consider: C = 300,000 kps. "near" c = say 150,000 kps, just to be conservative. That value = 540,000,000 kph. To accelerate from speed while in Earth orbit, which is approximately 22,300 mph (if I remember correctly) to 540,000,000 kph in less than ten minutes would create MASSIVE, INTENSE, g-forces. And that's only half the speed of light. I think you'd need an IDF generator. [/QB][/QUOTE]
