Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance that little indestructible black box is?

There is nothing special about the black box (which is orange).  It is the electronics inside which are special, able to withstand in excess of 2000g of accelleration, and retain the recorded data.  Your brain turns to goo at 50g, no matter what they make the plane out of.  Sorry!

When you talk of the possibilities of Matter and Anti-Matter...we already have them.\n\nProblem in lies that if you seperate matter and anti-matter and combine them to forn energy, you have to find a way to contain the energy (there is alot from a small cumbustion)  There is the problem.  So my thoughts are not yet ready for warp technology.

Not really, a solid is usually atoms packed closely enough together so that they bond and form a structure that is resistant to change. Blackhole cores are of collapsed matter: there are no atoms, protons or even quarks. Just like plasma isn't "gas," blackhole material isn't solid

It is physically impossible for two pieces of matter to occupy the same space at the same time, and this is in fact stated by the laws of physics, think about it, it's just impossible.  It doesn't matter if they  have different frequencies, it's matter, their atoms can touch or something, but never be at the same place as each other at the same time.

electrons can't line up in a plane they wouldn't all fit... unless it was like a big 747... or one of those military airbus things... and by 3d do you mean 2 spacial dimentions + time or 3 spacial dimensions? cause we already live with 3 spacial dmension (4 including time)

There is no proof. All the evidence disappeared to China or the bottom of the ocean. Why were they so quick to get rid of that steel? Do you really believe that jet fuel gets hot enough to collapse an I beam? Hell, I've picked out beer cans after a bonfire. Duh! And as far as I know, airliners aren't made for knocking down buildings. They are light so they can fly. Have ever seen a crash site? There usually isn't a whole lot of recognizable things left. A building that would collapse after getting hit like that wouldn't pass a NYC building code exam.

it can be created but cannot be destroyed can only be recycled

teleportation has no chance of being here in 30 years.. \n\nthere is no way to teleport all of the atoms in a human, and being able to arrange them in exactly the same order, without changing anything.. and if it were posible.. you would potentially be creating a clone of you everytime you teleport and killing yourself on the other side.. I saw a documentary on this .. and believe me .. not even close to being close to being close to teleportation\n\nbut it sure would be nice.. I hate airplanes

there is no plane, i don't know what ure talking about. \n\nthere is something looks like a missile there, that's it. \n\nthe explosion looks like a missile too.\n\nif we had been left to ourselves, we all would have concluded it was a missile from those videos. \n\nso why isn't it still a missile?\n\nfor me it is.\n\ni've also asked questions about this, eg http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aj88bu8qapSC7kpafAnQHnAjzKIX?qid=1006051828435

if the powder size is quite small, eg grains to dust, it can spontaniously explode in air.  Otherwise it just "rusts" to get a layer of oxide like most metals.

Ford produced the concept Ford Nucleon, but a nuclear car is unlikely to ever exist. Selling nuclear material to the public in quantities larger than a smoke detector isn't exactly safe, they could be used by terrorists to create a dirty bomb, you'd have to evacuate an area for a million years every time there was a car crash, and the weight of the shielding would be just a bit of a problem.

Probably carbon latice structures, like buckeyballs or nanotubes.  These could then contain the smaller compounds that are doing the desired work.

Nothing is indestructable, everything burns or melts at a certain temperature. even aerogel, the most fire resistant synthetic material, has a melting point of about 2000 degrees farenheit. This website should help clear it up, \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Box_%28transportation%29\n\nbut basically it is a quarter of an inch thick steel with fireproof material like kevlar underneath. it is a flight data recorder and voice recorder that can store flight data to tell what went wrong and voice recorder to tell if it was a terrorist attack/highjack or determine if it was a human error. old ones used to have moving parts and failed occasianally, but newer digital ones have no moving parts, hold more information, and never fail that i have heard about.

I bet you saw my question!\n\nI think that the reason we can't figure it out is because it is totally obvious, and everyone is looking for a less immediate and very complicated technology. I would imagine it is actually a very simple design.\n\nBut an even easier solution would be to try and find the box. Surely he would not have destroyed it!

If you think about it, everything is made up of atoms and their corresponding bonding energies and energy states. If there were some way to map these things, say with some sort of nano technology for instance, then the "map" could be sent over the internet and then be recontructed on the receiving end somehow. But within the next century? Very doubtful.

No because an atom is only a single element and thus such a "universe" would have no chemical composition except for the single atom it would have been made from
