Remember the guy who said personal computers had no use? Didn't they laugh at Fulton? Einstein had skeptics.
There's this whole realm of literature called Science Fiction, and I'm quite fond of it.

Have you thought about this? It would take thousands of years to slow any planet's rotation down.. See, planets are really really big, newton tells us that really really big things do not like to stop moving. And unless you have rockets the size of the moon and bigger then i can say that there is very little chance we could do anything, at all.

Instead, why don't you go outside and plant trees? Thats a lot better way to save our planet.

Angular momentum is just a number. In theory, just apply enough force along the same plane and you can negate it.
My (admittedly simplistic) theory is explained in the very first post, along with Mar's mass.

No.

Teleportation. Scientist have already teleported the first particle. So the technology is going to be available in about the next 10 years so you could just teleport the planet. But why would you move mars or any planet. Mars is fine where it is.

I have already read the whole thread but are you saying that since Mars is too far away to get to we should teleport the planet closer so it will be just as accessible as the moon. I don't think very many scientists would be keen on doing that as it would affect Mars orbit.

Where's the forum with the clever people who can help with difficult technical challenges?
