Theoretically there's nothing 'wrong' with traveling faster than the speed of light. Just as in the same way there's no problems for us traveling slower than the speed of light. It's just there's a catch - at the speed of light you need infinite energy, have infinite mass, time stops etc... and if you are just 'near' the speed of light [either side] the effects are also quite problematical for your day-to-day life. This means that objects traveling very very fast on our side of the light-barrier can't readily accelerate without dire consequences, and in the same way objects traveling above the speed of light can't readily decelerate down towards the speed of light either. So ne'r the twain shall meet! We are talking about transporting information, as much as physical objects here... The 'alternative' idea of 'warping' space itself... so that an object has less of a distance to traverse in the same time-frame could have the same effect as traveling faster than the speed of light... but controlling the forces involved in doing this 'wormhole' [or similar] in a way that doesn't squish the traveling object so much that its information is lost, have not been worked out at all well! Since 'you' are going to be the most important bits of information in the object that is traveling this way, then your chances of 'you' still being 'you' at the other end are, at the moment, very slim... Also, let's say you did successfully go one way down this 'tube', then how would you return ? Any given 'wormhole' is probably going to be transitory and difficult to fine-tune in where/when it ends up at all, let alone doing it in the exact 'reverse' way - so you might easily arrive back before you left or return long after you departed, either way this would not a satisfactory result... Unfortunately 'Star Trek' et al is/was made with little basis in reality... Although I really do hope that someone somewhere manages to sort out this seemingly insoluble issue... I won't be one of the first volunteers...

Maybe I'm lazy, but after reading "BUILT" in huge letters my brain shuts off and I just don't read the rest. You sure you want all that info in your card?

"Proof by rearrangement" [probably Pythagoras's method] avoids any algebra or calculations - it's just "drawing"... The first example is by far the simplest! [image: Pythag_anim.gif] [image: 220px-Pythagoras-2a.gif] [image: 220px-Pythagorean_theorem_rearrangement.svg.png]

Great suggestions. Thank you!

Unfortunately even the phpBB forum software does not recognise those brackets either. In the future, there should be a better way to list and share plugins however. This forum listing, though it's a very smart way Jim "hacked" it, has its limitations.

Thanks guys for suggestions. I haven't added the last few suggestions but will shortly.

Thanks for those comment Richard. I have also collected the list and posted here, LIST OF SKETCHUCATION BANNER ADVERTISERS http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=47786 As members can see all banners are of relevance to SketchUp

Dale and Mike, Definitely you are safe with the use of iLetter as long as the word is spelt backwards... Have a look this... http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mp3s/apples-future-wont-be-brought-to-you-by-the-letter-i-20100312-q27r.html

The impression I get is that anything would be very low poly. -Brodie You might be better commissioning somebody to build it for you, somebody round here may be of help. Even to take one of the free low poly models floating about the internet and upgrading it a few levels. Did you ever find anybody to build the model? I may have some free time coming up in 1-2 weeks?

Great presentations here at the conference. Great to be with other SketchUp fans.

@unknownuser said: Yes michalis, super smart! Because I usually sleep at ~5AM. May I ask, what time are you going to bed? If these all sound ridiculous, so it's the subject of this thread.

It can be used for both dx and the full frame cameras. ~15mm?? I honestly don't know! The fisheye is simply fantastic!! Really impressed with all the kit. I also have the 18-105mm lens and also a Sigma macro lens which is from my old analogue Nikon.
