SCIENCE

Originally posted by Aquaknot With all that twist & shout, why don't I fall out of bed? Is my life longer or shorter than a life form on an obeject fixed in the ether of space? If I travel back in time, could I miss the mark and find myself floating in the void because I forgot to sharpen my pencil? If I lost a sock 6 hours ago, how far behind me is it? I need a snack-

1) you stay in your bed because you, your bed and the earth are traveling through the galaxy, universe, etcetera at the same velocity. This is analogous to sleeping on a train. Although the train is moving fast, you too are moving with it. Thus, it appears everything within the train is stationary and things outside move. Yet, from practical experience, we know the opposite is true.
2) Your life progresses slower, relative to an object moving slower than yourself. If you could somehow get to this slower point, your current life, the journey to the slower point and the arrival at the "slower point" would appear to you to have the same rate of passage of time.
3) Yes, especially if the "out" end of the einstein-rosen bridge is neither fixed in space nor time.
4) depends on the changes in velocity and gravitational intensity on both you and the sock. For practical purposes, 6 hours. Edit: wait, that doesn't make sense... Idk /edit

I'm probably going to hit the sack..... Accounting class in the morning.

Matter moving at the speed of light would have infinite mass and a length of zero.  I suppose going even faster than that would turn your socks inside out automatically.

one more thing...if by theory, we travel faster than the speed of light, what should we call it?  after all by theory we would then begin traveling through time correct?

Originally posted by HanFei   Yes, both our statements are true. If you increase velocity or gravitational strength on some object A, passage of time slows for A relative to some third party observer, B. However, for the observer in A or B, time appears to pass normally, as we are now. Yet, regaurdless of discrepancies in "the present," both A and B view events who's origins are in the past, as we covered earlier.

facts? sure they are

you sure bout that?

me and Trinity tried to keep it that way but certain athiests would rather talk sh1t so i guess we'll just do that now istead. which is acually fine with me at this point!

its not narcissistic to question someones intelligents! and i think its been me thats been called stupid and retard so when i return the favor just fk'n dill with it k

Originally posted by TuNA FISh Originally posted by TX2k7 tuna that topic is still quite hotly debated amongst the scientific community, all they r certain of right now is that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate...speeding up however while that leads to the conclusion that the universe will continue to expand until everything just drifts apart into cold nothingness (the "Big Rip" theory as i understand it is called) many others accept the possibility that the universe's expansion will slow, stop and then reverse....collapsing back in on itself (the "Big Crunch" theory i believe this one is called) going off on to a side note, there are some who believe that our universe's origins, the origin of the Big Bang, was the result of another "universe" or possibly even another dimension collapsing in on itself in a "Big Crunch" following a cycle of one universe dies another takes its place....again that's all just hyppothetcials and nothing will substantial evidence just some food for thought, but i know most peoples minds will wonder to the question (contd) green: everything is "hotly" debated amongst the scientific community :Q once we understand black holes then we will understand the origins of our universe. i personally think that they will start studying magnetism more in physics.. so weird to know how powerful gravity is yet you can defy it with a tiny magnet. i wonder if that's what they are going to use when we discover how to make artificial gravity

The only reason gravity apears to be weak is because its origin the, gravaton, isn't in the dimentions we are in, brepth, depth, lenght, time... Its thought to be in the other 7 dimentions...

Originally posted by HanFei Originally posted by TX2k7 consider everything u see, no matter how close u are to it u are merely seeing the light reflected off that object and with that in mind, u are not truly seeing what u are observing as it exists at that very moment, u are percieving it a fraction of a second after that moment (the time the light takes to reflect off the object and be percieved by u, including the fraction of a second ur brain takes to process the information from ur eyes and send an image back) btw....nice radioactive sybol on the topic syz :D hehehe Yes, in short, we are always seeing the past. Over the flat ocean we can see about 150 miles before the curvature of the earth prevents us from seeing further. Since the speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second relative to anyone and everything, it takes light from one of the farthest objects you can see on earth ~.0008 secs to reach you. Thus, we are always seeing, as TX2k7 said, the past. Expand this to distances between us and the closest star, Proxima Centauri; and, the difference in time between when the event (light emission) happened and we see it becomes 4.2 light years. For practical purposes In everyday life, these statement of reality is not particularly helpful - only insightful.

But then I could argue that im being less affected by time that you are, if we say time is relative, i can say im moving faster through time than you are therfore I WIN...

XD
Just watched it on YouTube, ha!
