3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money. The cause of the traffic mess is the people themselves so it's only right that those causing the traffic problem should be fined and the fine should hurt. That way, the fines will pay for the cost of enforcing the law. The fines should start at P500 and goes up every week if you don't pay it within 15 days. To enforce this and prevent people from ignoring the fine. It will be tied to their driver's license or car registr...

R2-D2 on Star Trek Movie?

Is the rumor true that R2-D2 was in the new Star Trek movie? It turns out the rumor might be true. Someone posted a movie still from the DVD release of Star Trek. R2-D2 apparently appeared for only 1 microsecond in a battle scene. Where the photo is real or Photoshopped, I leave that up to you to decide.

Star Trek: Enterprise

A lot of Star Trek fans got angry when Enterprise was shown. They got angry as to why the intro had lyrics instead of keeping to the original where it was instrumentals only. But I think it's one of the best intro for any of the Star Trek shows. It's very inspiring and makes me think that humans can do anything.

Sci-fi and Time Travel

I was watching Star Trek:TNG and ST:DS9 last night. Both episodes were about time travel. In Star Trek:TNG, Picard was jumping to the past, present and future. Seeing things that may or may not have happened. In Star Trek:DS9, Chief O'Brien was jumping forward 5 hours into the future and then returning to the present. In both cases, there were some sort of sub-space anomaly that triggered their jump through time. I know these shows are science fiction and it's not real. But it got me thinking. Why is it that in these shows, most time travel happens in space or in another planet? Could it be that time travel happens whenever there is a phenomenon out there in the far reaches of space? From my understanding of physics, time is affected as gravity gets stronger. Such as Einstein's theory that if person A is travelling to the event horizon of a black hole and because of the strong gravitational forces, person A, near the event horizon thinks time is constant, but an observer, p...
