Will a self driving car be able to see in dense fog in the day time? I use fog lights and slow down. What happens when the detector can't see but the brain box thinks it still can? Human drivers know from instinct what other human drivers might do in many driving situations. Human drivers can't predict what self driving cars will do, adding another layer of uncertainty and possible chaos to a human's drive. How many miles have the people driven who think self driving cars is a good idea? ...

You are taking a job on the other side of the country 3000 miles away and you have to be there in one week. You will drive a fully loaded personal truck with a fully loaded box trailer. Each day you will drive 600 miles starting at sun up and you will stop at a motel 6 at night to rest. I researched the Tesla truck and it sounds like you could have a 500 mile range and at a Tesla Megacharger station you could get an 80% charge and 400 more miles in 30 minutes of charge time,...
We have a 20 pound weight and a scale on the surface of Earth that we will take on this trip. We have a space ship that has a new engine that accelerates particles of matter to propel it self and can accelerate for years if necessary. We blast into orbit around earth and are traveling 17000 miles per hour. Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light-years from Earth is our destination. The engine is turned on and using our 20 pound weight and a scale we accelerate at a constant 32 feet per se...

Measuring the one way speed of light. On one side of the room we have a Wi-Fi transmitter remote control. On the other side of the room we have two accurate clocks next to each other. The remote will tell the clocks to start and stop with an elapsed time read out. We will not move the remote during the experiment. We now use the remote to start the clocks. Now we pick up one clock and walk one mile away and set it down at a pre measured location. From the remote to the clock...
Dark Matter: Is it possible that the objects in distant galaxies see more normal mass locally than we see in those galaxies from Earth due to special relativity? Or could extra mass come from the multiverse? The multiverse: Could all the universes exist in the same reality but each on a different frequency just like TV channels in a cable? Every time you change your speed you tune in to a different frequency and a different universe. What other ways could you tune in to a...
In the double slit experiment, the bar with the two slits is a lens. If you change the location of the lens it changes the focal point which changes the picture you see on the screen and the results of the experiment. You can go a step further and put on the wrong prescription glasses when you view the results of the experiment, this will change the entire history of the experiment and change the results you observe. On to entanglement. You have two entangled...
We have a space outpost 1 light year from earth that we want to send a message to in much less than a year. We have a collection of satellites in large orbit around earth and a collection of satellites in large orbit around the outpost. Each satellite will have a large mirror for collecting, focusing and reflecting our transmissions. Each satellite will travel at 99% the speed of light. When we transmit our message from earth we will utilize a satellite near earth and a sate...
