and it was considered as important as theatomic bomb. The top secret documentson Project Seal were only declassified in1999. FITB.

QUESTION 4

In physics, the X of an object is the unique path of

that object as it travels through 4-dimensional

space-time. The concept of "X" is distinguished from

the concept of "orbit" or "trajectory" (such as an orbit

in space or a trajectory of a truck on a road map) by

the time dimension, and typically encompasses a

large area of space-time wherein perceptually

straight paths are recalculated to show their

(relatively) more absolute position states to reveal

the nature of special relativity or gravitational

interactions. The idea of X originates in physics and

was pioneered by Einstein. The term is now most

often used in relativity theories now.

QUESTION 6

X was born into a Quaker family at Eaglesfield inCumberland, England.

At the tender young age of12 X was principal of QuakerSchool; Xs pupils were elders. Xs hobby was weatherstudy. He learnt Latin and Greek, studied mathematics

and meteorology.

Later X moved to Kendal where he taught for twelveyears. X started a Science Discussion Forum, but with ahandicap of unattractive personality and unpleasingvoice, X could not make further impact.

In 1793 X published a book, Meteorological Observationsand Essays.

In 1817, X was elevated to the post of President of thePhilosophical Society, an honorary office X held untildeath.

As legend goes, forty thousand people filed past Xs bierwhen X died in 1944.

82/221

The size and age of the universe incline us to

believe that many technologically advanced

civilizations must exist. However, this belief

seems logically inconsistent with our lack of

observational evidence to support it. Either (1)

the initial assumption is incorrect and

technologically advanced intelligent life is much

rarer than we believe, or (2) our current

observations are incomplete and we simply havenot detected them yet, or (3) our search

methodologies are flawed and we are not

searching for the correct indicators.

QUESTION 9

According to 20th century folklore, the laws of

aerodynamics prove that the X should be incapable

of flight, as it does not have the capacity to achieve

flight with the degree of wing loading necessary.

In 1934, French scientist Antoine Magnan includedthe following passage in the introduction to his

book: First prompted by what is done in aviation, I

applied the laws of air resistance to X, and I arrived,

with Mr. Sainte-Lague(who was a mathematician), at

the conclusion that their flight is impossible.

Another description of a X's wing function is that the

wings work similarly to helicopter blades, "reverse-

pitch semirotary helicopter blades".

without having been created. After information

or an object is sent back in time, it is recovered

QUESTION 12

X was discovered by Charles Wheatstone in

1838. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. invented an

improved form of Y (an instrument used to view

X) in 1861, which had no mirrors and was

inexpensive to produce. These Y wereimmensely popular for decades.

X were re-popularized by the creation

of autoX on computers. The Magic Eye series is a

popular example of this.ID X.

QUESTION 1

X was, according to prevailing academicconsensus, discovered in the 9th centuryby Chinese alchemists searching for an elixir ofimmortality .This discovery instead, led to theinvention of ______.

X is classified as a low explosive because of itsrelatively slow decomposition rate andconsequently low brisance. Lowexplosives deflagrate at subsonic speeds. High

explosives detonate, producing a supersonicwave.

History has it that the Chinese used X to fueltheir rockets as well.
