Akira 0 Posted January 21, 2003 Was He Right? Since I am forced to dredge up an old topic as I said, I will post it again.... New questions about the experiment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
)=Obi=( 0 Posted January 21, 2003 But who is this damn General Theory of relativity ? He must have had aristocrats ancestors to have such name !!? Is he so small we must use a gravity lens to see him ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diplomata 0 Posted January 27, 2003 I'm not sure of what I'm about to say but there's a theory that say that discting layers of eletrons have different spin values to compesate their orbitals space quite different. I mean, today its assumed that every eletron has a [o,5] value (either positive or negative). In this theory  this value is not the same for all eletrons. The s orbitals would have different value of a sp orbital and so on so that their spin rate could keep the atom from seeking more energy than it could. I do not know details though. However if this is true I think it would change everything. One more thing: What would you see if you move at the speed of light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted January 27, 2003 You would not see anything at the speed of light, you would not know it happened... (how can I know this right?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bn880 5 Posted January 27, 2003 But that's impossible, since nothing actually travels in any direction other than the direction you are heading in, no real movement of electrons etc, no thoughts, nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diplomata 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Oh man! I wander how captain Kirk did it trought out the space You havn't got the point I intended...If that WOULD be possible it would allow you to see the rays of light...so... what would be the world around you like?

bn880 5 Posted January 27, 2003 Well I guess you would have to tell me, because I can't imagine this. I would think that before you reach the full speed of light, you would simply see everything moving EXTREMELY quickly towards you, like stars possibly appearing to move. Say if you are moving at 1/2 speed of light, not only will you think you are traveling at that speed, you will think you are traveling at the full speed of light already. EDIT: Yes for sure, at close to the speed of light, you would think you are simply moving through galaxies like you are driving to the supermarket. (your perception of time could make you think 100 years is really 10 seconds, and you will only age 10 seconds) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diplomata 0 Posted January 27, 2003 ow.. skip it.. neither I do got your thinking... But I'll have you an awnser as I am moving at speed of light to my bed! being a nerdy enough for a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted January 27, 2003 I get your thinking, I told you what I think you would see. It's not going to be a bunch of magical tunnels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pukko 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Why not ask the rays of light transmitting this message what its like? oh, and by the way bn880; since you after all give an explanation of what one would concieve at the speed of light: accoring to the relativity principle (the general is it, right? ) you would have used up all energy in the entire universe before you would come anywhere near the speed of light. And anywhere near in this case is really the matter of incredible small numbers (relative the speed of light) making up incredible big velocity differances. If I recall it right is 0.9999999 the speed of light nowhere near the actual speed of light (it increased by more than the exponent in the formula right? ). Therefore I think its really strange that they had such a big error tolerance "but we have an error of plus or minus 0.21". Speed of light +-0.21 is............ wait, I made quite an error in my thinking LOL Ofcourse its the mass that increases exponentially, and not the speed. Ok, lucky for you I am lightyears away from researching advanced physics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
