Things you should've done:

1) chosen another experiment (seeing you have no cat, it's a bit of a dumb move);
2) started earlier;
3) NOT waste time making stupid pictures;
4) make your own god damn homework, it's there for a reason.

Old. The Seabourn Spirit has used a sound weapon (LRAD - long range acoustic device) in 2005. This means it's been in existence long before that.

I would love to see someone go as the little woman in panel #4 of Dinosaur Comics.

Complete with T-Rex' foot above him/her, ready to squish him/her.

So have I.

My post simplified, basically...

The way I see it, there is no end. We generally see the universe as a box wherein everything exists. where the box ends, the universe ends. Some might see it as a 4D sphere with us on the inside, but basically the same. How I see things, is as a 4D sphere, but instead of the things on the inside, they're on the outside.

Let's imagine a 2D person on a surface. He can only move on the surface, not upwards or downwards. Now, instead of just a person on this enormous surface, let's add some 'planets': discs (more or less). Our person can walk on it's 'surface' (the circle) and look 'up' and wonder about it's universe. It can even have it's own gravity, which works in the same way as our gravity (theories of relativity) but in 2D. As he gets smarter, he watches the skies and stars and other planets. One day, he decides to get of his disc of rock and go out into the universe. He goes forward and forward, he's following a straight line, perpendicular to the tangent of the circle he's living on. (It's obvious it's a circle: he always went straight ahead and returned to his point of origin) And as he's going farther away, he's seeing wonderful things, but (miraculously) he keeps following the same line. He thinks this plane is infinitely large: he's been travelling for 46.5 billion years at the speed of light (or at least very close to) and still he hasn't seen the end. But he keeps on continuing for another 46.5 billion years. One day, when he's looking out of his window, he sees a familiar blue dot. As it grows larger and larger, he's starting to realize this dot is his Earth, his home planet. He never thought it was possible, but the plane he was travelling on, wasn't a plane. it wasn't a disc as he thought. It was a sphere.

So this is how I believe it's put together. As a 3-sphere. On certain coordinates of this 3-sphere are planets, stars, comets... which fly according on a certain curve in this coordinate system. Just like we have a coordinate system here on Earth with our longitudes and latitudes, our 2D-guy has his system, but just with simple points on the circle (so he would say he's on coordinate 5, where we would say we're on 5,10). His people has thought of a similar coordinate system as they know, so it's based of the one they have on the planet. Once they realized that their planet was round, and not straight, and that outer space (or surface, whatever) is really large, they adjusted their coordinate system for outer space. They used concentric circles with the centre of their planet. And even when our brave traveller came back, it continued to work.

TL;DR: universe isn't cubic or spherical with us on the inside, but a 3-sphere with us on the outside.

Obviously, this is just my theory on the universe. I obviously can't make such observations myself. I did, however, think about it: everything in the universe is (near-)spherical. All things of 'importance' are on the OUTSIDE of those spheres. Why would the universe itself be such a different thing? Nature strives for consistency, it's only logical the universe would follow.

To all of those who say that something new happens every second I have this to say:

If you know everything in the entire universe, I believe it's possible to predict the future. Correctly. Let me explain:

Let's say we want to predict the outcome of the next election. What does it depend on? The views of the voters, the views of the candidates etc. But also on what happens on the day of the election: is it raining? Is it hot? Is there an important sports match? This influences the amount of people who go to vote. This is also important. But to (correctly -just assume I say this every time in this or a similar context-) know and predict this, you have to know what lead to this. In order to know that you have to go all the way back to the exact moment now. If you know literally EVERYTHING, you know the exact position, velocity, forces etc. of every particle. Next you can do calculations (very complex and long calculations) on how these particles interact. The results thereof would lead to more and more calculations (how they affect the weather, the voters, the global events...) and eventually lead to a conclusion. This conclusion would be the outcome of the elections. If these calculations can be done instantaneously, all those new things are predicted and no longer 'new' knowledge, just derivatives of the current situation.
Obviously, this would be infeasible: the calculations involved would be immensely complex due to all of the factors involved. These factors are, of course, every particle and their properties that exist at the time of the calculations. But if that hurdle should be overcome, we can predict the future (which in turn would/could change it) with all of the consequence involved.

TL;DR: predicting the future is possible, as long as you know everything that happens and is at one time.

No. If you learn everything, this also includes the exact locations AND velocities of the sub-atomic particles. And as our good friend Heisenberg has said, this can't be done.

But if it were possible, you'd be able to predict the future!

Oh, no! Tankmen came after the logo. As far as I know it's been a tank with a guy on top. It just changed a bit over the years. As to why it's a tank? I have no idea. Maybe it was created in a phase of teen angst and boyish 'look-at-me-I'm-tough'-ness?

Every time someone drinks, you drink.

Both are correct, actually. Depending on how you think.
The first way is like this:
x=1/0 <=>
0*x=1
Seeing no number applies for the spot of x (because no number multiplied with zero gives one as the answer), x is undefined.

The other way is different. When you divide 1 by a positive integer, which is smaller than one, the solution is always bigger than one:
1/0.5=2
1/0.25=4
etc.
Now, if we make the denominator smaller and smaller, the number will keep on getting bigger and bigger:
1/0.0000000001=10000000000
1/0.00000000000000000001=100000000000000 000000
etc.
The logical conclusion is that when the denominator is so small, it can't get any smaller, the solution's going to be so big, it can't get any bigger. Or, to use numbers, when the denominator is 0, the solution is infinite. (However, this is better used as a limit: lim (x->0) 1/x=+/- infinite)
