    Is there a difference between the two? Seems like a dagger would be drawn from a sheath, a sword from a scabbard. I'm sure there's more to it, any additional info would be helpful. Thanks as always, J.C. Bell

    ancient dress styles/clothing

    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this, but the knowledge of the members here is always impressive and helpful.

    metals; making, mixing and strengths

    wondering if any one has knowledge of metallurgy? How is steel actually made, or was discovered? What components make it different from a regular iron sword?

    faster than speed of light space travel

    Maybe a strange question but anyone have thoughts on what would happen to the universe outside of a ship traveling faster than the speed of light? Also, say you had a crew that wanted to journey to a planet in another galaxy that was say 100,000 ly away. How would they even know where it was...
