It works?

Why does speed time slow down when you go fast then the speed of light
Duke replied to a topic in Relativity
Speed is distance over time. If time is slowing down when you approach the speed of light, then essentialy you are moving at a slower speed. -
Is magnet an infinite source?
Duke replied to x__heavenly__x's topic in Modern and Theoretical Physics
Could a large amount of gravity ever be stronger than electro magnetism? I.e the force that stops gravity pulling my ass through my chair -
Life is just a word maaaaaaaaaaan. Everythings made out of the same thing at the end of the day. Except for bluetac of course, the true origin has never been confirmed.

I dont know what i find more unbelievable. Getting to mars by 2010 or the fact that someone actually listened to something bush said. I doubt we will be on mars by then. I remember someone saying a round trip to mars could take a few years. Thats a lot of fuel, supplies and tiolet paper chaps.

What? I dont know a lot about relativity but all I saw in that animation was just some simple maths. Lets just say ClockA is displaying valueA and ClockB is displaying valueB The reason the astronauts got the same average value from the clocks was because when you get further away from say clockA; you are seeing a lower valueA than the other guy who is sat right next to it. But that doesn't matter because when you get further away from clockA, you of coarse get closer to clockB and you will see a higher valueB than the dude who is sitting miles away next to clockA. I hope that makes sense to someone but its too late and i need some sleep and Im sorry if someone has already explained this earlier on in the thread but I cant be arsed to check right now.

Thats more of a philosophical way of thinking. Fair enough the opposite of death is life but you have to be able to define life before hand to understand what death isn't.

I cant see a mars colony springing up for a while. I reckon a colony would weigh quite a bit and fuel prices at the moment are far from cheap.

Defining draws too many fines lines. Especialy in this sort of topic.

Sound travels through any material, just some material is better than others.

I thought they had already observed a planet around the star pegasus 59

But you need the dimention of time to measure movement. Speed = Distance/time

Surely the 'Unisurphace' part of your new word means one sided

In need of assistant....for experiment...concerning light speed travel
Duke replied to a topic in The Lounge
By the time this thread gets anywhere and you have discovered how to travel at the speed of light - it would have been quicker to walk -
I would say spheres have 1 side

I heard a wizard did it.

the best one I saw was made of 28 individual tiles which were about 3000x3000 big. I put them together once and it took about 3 minutes to load. Very high res though... Go here and look around. This is a smaller version of the image I was talking about but im sure there is a link to it somewhere. http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/moc_atlas/indexfull.jpg

Why do things look smaller when they are further away?
Duke replied to Duke's topic in Other Sciences
That picture makes sense, i never really looked at it like that. Nicely explianed duderino. It beats the old "because it's further away" theory. -
This has been bugging me for a while now, but does anyone know why things look smaller when they are further away? I asked this about a year ago but I wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting. Someone told me it has something to do with lenses. but I dont know whether thats true or not. Does anyone have a decent scientific reason as to why this occurs?

How exactly would you obtain this super dense matter?

I thought of a six then i said bananna then i said cucumber and then i settled with cellery
-
Nothing wrong with drugs whatsoever. If you know what they do to you and you still choose to do them then I think thats fine.
-
its a good question though. It would be hard to answer properly though

Cyclic universe possible? Yes, it is not.
Duke replied to alt_f13's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
Does time have to actually exist? I dont think the presence of the 4th dimention is essential to the existance of our universe. Maybe the universe is just made up of mass and movement. If time was a dimention and an itegral part to the universe then surely it could be manipulated.
