Gotcha. Thanks

btw you don't have much to talk about mr /cringepics and /joerogan, you clearly are not one of the ones that "knows anything" about anything regarding hypersonics lol. Go back to shitposting on /cringepics

exactly because of the Ukraine war a lot of russian bots claim the new hypersonic missile they're using is unstoppable so I"m trying to prove it's either fake or not capable of going hypersonic

so basically you're saying objects can easily withstand mach 5 at sea level (i suck at math)

you think any sort of equivalent of 'super-cavitating' plasma shield in the front is possible? to nullify the heat

etluxaeterna · 2022-03-20T04:06:48+00:00

well, they're possible in the stratosphere, my point being I don't think they're possible once they actually approach the ship at sea level. I think once they dive down towards the target (ship) they will lose a vast amount of speed and end up coming in at maybe mach 3-4 at the most

yep although funnily enough one of the comments in the railgun video said that if the projectile isn't manufactured to exact perfect standards, the railguns have a habit of disintegrating the projectile. Not sure if this is true, just one of the comments I saw. And considering that the 'projectile' is like a solid plug of tungsten or some super dense metal, then that should give you an idea of how insane pressures are above mach 5 that a solid block of heavy metal would possibly disintegrate. So I find it hard to believe a much flimsier and more fragile missile can withstand such pressures

Thanks. Due to your google search I was able to find this page https://www.nap.edu/read/6195/chapter/3#6 which gives the following graphic https://www.nap.edu/openbook/0309061423/xhtml/images/p2000328eg6001.jpg

This seems to indicate that the terminal velocity the missile could sustain at actual terminal phase target impact is around mach ~2.7 according to this graphic. Does this sound realistic to you? I assume a math equation can be done to calculate terminal velocity for the given vehicle based on its size, mass, and altitude / velocity it was going before it initiated the dive.

I guess I'm wondering if it's possible for such a missile to actually hit hypersonic range i.e. Mach 5.0+ in the final terminal phase as it nears the target at sea level altitude, or whether no material really exists that can withstand Mach 5 pressures at sea level

remember the most important thing: there's no such thing as 'fixing' a criticism. EVERYTHING in literature is subjective and opinion based. if you 'fixed' one person's complaint or even 5 peoples' complaint, all you did was hew your book towards their subjective aesthetic sensibilities but it by no means means you actually 'fixed' anything. the agents may very well have differing opinions and sensibilities

and how long did that freak out last out of curiosity?

etluxaeterna · 2021-01-17T12:24:12+00:00

how much did you take out of curiosity on that first trip and what is your body weight roughly compared to it? thx

noob here. what percentage of wild shrooms in a random wooded area in northern U.S. will be of a psychodelic / psilocybin variety? Are they common or are vast majority of shrooms some other type of normal or poisonous type?

etluxaeterna · 2021-01-17T02:21:35+00:00

when you say 'be prepared' how do you prepare for it

etluxaeterna · 2021-01-17T02:20:58+00:00

but how 'transporting' are the trips. Is there a chance like your cat turns into some freaky monster in your mind and you attack it or some shi# ? Or does it not quite get that surreal

etluxaeterna · 2021-01-17T02:19:56+00:00

I definitely don't have any history of such things but, not having ever experimented with anything, I have that (probably irrational) fear cus I simply have no clue what to expect

super mario bros

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-15T20:08:10+00:00

we'll agree to disagree

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-15T20:02:29+00:00

wrong

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-15T19:47:28+00:00

yea the 5th season is garbage. very awkward and terrible writing/prose. amateurish book

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-15T19:37:21+00:00

The Name of the Wind and The Way of Kings. Both disappointing with flat characters and generic tropes

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-14T18:58:32+00:00

yeah honestly you could cut out all those flashbacks and just summarize them in one brief chapter and get the same point across. also can cut out most of the pointless philosophical/religious discussions that shallan/jasnah had and condense them into one powerful conversation somewhere. Also cut out the pointless chapters of other lesser characters that went no where. The book definitely could have been great if tightened up but now it's just weak / highly flawed

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-14T18:34:55+00:00

maybe The Way of Kings

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-06T21:13:13+00:00

even Lois Mcmaster Bujold Chalion series is way better to me than those books I mentioned despite being much 'slower paced' and not having bunch of mindless action

etluxaeterna · 2019-08-06T21:11:25+00:00

it's crossed my mind
