The lack of weight as a defining engineering concern is because the ship sits in a balance
between its hull pushing against the water and the water attempting to return to level. As long as the hull material can resist the increasing water pressure from the larger displacement, the ship will float. This is why ship size has increased as we discover stronger materials.

Graphene has the potential to be all components.

what happens if you wnat to visit infinity and perhaps even travel beyond it

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:46, Reply)

You can't, m8, because it's a concept.
Humanity will never see true infinity because we are finite creatures and limited by our perception of three dimensional space. Infinity is not constrained by three dimensional, or any-dimensional space by definition. Thereby, for all effective measures we can see or utilise, it don't exist, m8.

Measurability isn't a requisite for existence.

Yes it does. Conceptually.

No it don't. Concepts are concepts.
Concepts can't go around being real, otherwise they'd be real and not concepts.
( Kroney, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:52, Reply)

Depends what you mean by 'real'.
Reality itself is a concept.
( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:57, Reply)

Fact. The whole thing exists only as a by product of what we see and hear
two things that we cannot definitively prove with anything beside our own sensory input. Bang on. It's impossible to say whether anything's real or not. Pretty basic Descartism, here.
( Kroney, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:01, Reply)

Precisely.
So it does exist, and yet, it might not.

So what we're saying here, basically, is that you're well sussed.

Thereby, if somebody's creating it for any other purpose then it ain't even art anymore. So it don't exist.
