The Star Trek Enterprise had to travel vast distances at incredible speeds to orbit other planets so that First Officer Spock could analyze the atmosphere to see if the planet was habitable or if there were lifeforms there.
Well, we don't need to travel at warp speeds to see other planet atmospheres, although I don't want to dissuade any budding engineers from figuring out how to do that.
The two-headed slider is a speed control that allows me to watch the movie at various speeds, in forward or reverse.
I study blazars, supermassive, hyperactive black holes that sit at the centers of massive galaxies and shoot out jets nearby those black holes at speeds approaching the speed of light in a process we are still trying to completely understand.
At the start of the voyage, speeds are given relative to the launchpad.
But later, when the launchpad is just one more arbritrary place down there on Earth's spinning surface, speeds are given relative to the idealized, non-spinning pinpoint center of Earth.
Speeds are relative.
This means that speeds only have meaning when they are referred to a reference frame.
No, at everyday speeds, such as Tom's car reaches, actually all the effects are much, much smaller than we've illustrated them.
The Bell X-1 was the first of many supersonic aircraft to follow, with later designs reaching speeds over Mach 3. Aircraft traveling at supersonic speed create a shock wave with a thunder-like noise known as a sonic boom, which can cause distress to people and animals below or even damage buildings.
By tethering flying machines, they can achieve high speeds and accelerations in very tight spaces.
Myelin is an insulator and speeds up the electrical signals zipping down the nerve fiber.
It turns out the stratosphere has winds that are going in quite different speeds and directions in thin strata.
So we hoped that using smart algorithms and wind data from around the world, we could maneuver the balloons a bit, getting them to go up and down just a tiny bit in the stratosphere to grab those winds going in those different directions and speeds.
Let's break it down: "photo" means from the sun, and a catalyst is something that speeds up a reaction.
We can't decrease wind speeds or keep subarctic animals from migrating north, but we can work on local solutions to reducing human-caused underwater noise.
So at em speeds, physical travel feels really painfully slow, so most em cities are self-sufficient, most war is cyber war, and most of the rest of the earth away from the em cities is left to the humans, because the ems really aren't that interested in it.
At different altitudes, there are different directions and different speeds.
Thankfully, today’s elevators are much faster, traveling over 70 km per hour with future cabins potentially using frictionless magnetic rails for even higher speeds.
But these galaxies are actually moving at extremely high speeds.
We can measure the speeds of these galaxies, their orbital velocities, and figure out how much mass is in this cluster.
They can be operated incredibly fast, reaching superhuman speeds.
That would be a bad day, you know, if that happened, so we have to test, because we are deploying this parachute at supersonic speeds.
We are coming at extremely high speeds, and we are deploying them to slow us down.
Imagine perfectly memorizing things, where you perfectly record information that you silently speak, and then hear them later when you want to, internally searching for information, crunching numbers at speeds computers do, silently texting other people.
These chips will also include a clever variation on the modulator to help do away with moving parts and scan at rapid speeds.
It can fly at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour, has talons the size of a grizzly bear's, razor-sharp eyesight, and that ring of feathers focuses sound so that it can hear the slightest leaf rustle.
Hurtling around at speeds from 4 to 18 miles an hour and hunting for up to 30 hours at a time, these majestic mammals live up to their name.
An enzyme is a protein that's a catalyst, it speeds up or accelerates a chemical reaction, just as the chymosin over here is accelerating the curdling of the milk.
And the rate of technological evolution speeds up, so a mere quarter of a century after this, you get this, OK. (Laughter) And this.
