Richard Feynman is a fine fellow.

I was searching on the web and I found these other articals about breaking the light speed barrier. http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=rogers-web&tab=&p=breaking+light+speed+barrier

ya

I think the speed of light still travels at c (186.000 miles per second) , from one source.

I believe your car analogy is wrong. Because a beam of light behaves differently than a car. A car is the only thing that travels. A beam of light, like in my example, it has 3 parts traveling in sequence.

I have an interesting thought. What if there was a beam of light traveling in space, and at the end of the beam of light there was another source of a beam of light. Would the first beam of light which is traveling at 186.000 miles per second push the beam of light at the end of it to 372.000 miles per second? I wonder?

I don't quite understand this bowling ball and trampoline anology you talk about. But it was proven a long time ago that the sun and earth are defined as the heliocentric model (earth moves around the sun).

Ya, that is interesting.

But the problem with that is we get older...lol

I used the calculator in my Windows operating system. I think you have to calculate both lengths because its says "relative". meaning: in relation to other. And that would mean there moving at the same speed (92c), and if they are at different lengths and if using the "length contraction equation" (which I havent looked up on how I could use it), will affect the question.

You see this is what I calculated. I thought that 0.92c was 0.92 percent of 100, so being that c is 186000 miles per second. I divide 0.92 which I thought became to be 92. Then dividing 92 by 186000 equaling 2021.73 miles per second. This wasent what I thought right away mind you. The reason I said (A): equals 100 and (b) equals 36, cause I figured that it was plainly spelled out. So, at 2021.73 miles per second probobley would stretch the space ships a bit, If thats what you mean. How did you people get your answers?

ya, I can admit im wrong..

But if you think of it, we are moving forward in time. Interesting! The clocks move ahead.

I dont know if there is a time machine, and I dont know if anyone or, if anthing can travel back or forward in time. They are all just thoughts on how we "think" it would happen.

lol..me!

Im sorry, It not a trick question!

No, the two space ships lengths are: A:100 m long B:36 m long Trick question!

Here it is from a different perspective: If Danny has a painting, and a time machine, that he painted and built on the 10th, and it is the 20th and on that day at 12:00 pm in his living room he decides and sends the painting and the time machine to the 15th day at 12:00 pm (the past). Ok, and lets say now it is the 15th at 11:30 am, and when the clock strikes 12:00 pm on this day (the 15th) now, A painting and a time machine appear in his living room while he is sitting on his sofa. So now he has a painting and the time machine, and also the painting, and the time machine he built on the 10th (now there is two). So being that it is the 15th and days go by he reaches the the 20th at 11:45 Am and he is in his living room, Now this is where it gets tricky! Playing with the if word! If Danny decides and sends the painting now on the 20th at 12:00 pm to the 15th at 12:00 pm, he would then only have one painting and one time machine left (lets say the left over one was the one he built on the 10th). Another "if" is if he dosen't send the painting on the 20th at 12:00 pm to the 15th at 12:00 pm then it would not appear in his living room on the 15th. So It seems the give and get policy works here, at least that how my brain works it.

Sayonara:I believe that is true too!

Seems like pure logic to me. "Alas! No more confusion!"

Danny, you think the painting will disappear because you believe it dose! If you dident believe that, you would think otherwise. You have no poof the painting will. We do not have a time machine and all we can do right now is speculate on it. Words cannot prove anything no matter what order you put it in. You can say "the painting will disappear", but the fact is you do not know 100% and until we have a time machine, than we can test the theory!

Sayonara! I dont believe you have destroyed anything..When you say that, I wonder about the purpose of a science forum, this is great because it is a place to draw Idea's, words cannot omit an idea, the thread and thought still exists. It's a place where people can think and come to conclusions on what we agree and disagree with. Thats my two cents.

You scare me Sayonara!

Who cares! So it dose violate. When applying knowledge to new unproven ideas or theorys, like associated with time travel. It may break certain laws.
