    Should I go to school for Physics?

    I appreciate the well thought reply. I have a career as a Systems Administrator for a large health insurance corporation. IT seems to be my niche and always has. I've spent many years studying and learning computer systems, application and web development, networking and administration. I...

    Should I go to school for Physics?

    I have always been a Jack of all trades - but a master of none. Sit me next to an expert and I look like an idiot. But put me at a table in a bar and I can't hold a conversation without explaining the chemical, thermal, and electrical dynamics of lighting a lighter. I have dreams and aspirations...

    Gravitational Time Dilation and Contradicting Physical Events

    I don't understand how any of that answered my questions. Maybe I'm missing both of your points.

    Time dilatation and 'now slices'

    I could be wrong... but... I believe this is an observed effect of the moving observer's surroundings relative to the observer at rest. The further the moving observer looks into space the greater further into the future (looking forward) or past (looking backwards) he will see in relation to...

    Gravitational Time Dilation and Contradicting Physical Events

    Thought experiment: Say for instance that a Baseball game is being played out on a planet that is orbiting the outer edge of a black hole. You, from deep in space away from any gravitational source, are watching this game from a powerful telescope. The batter comes up to bat; the pitcher...

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    I think I've had that point pushed into my brain several times now within this topic... I understand that quantum computing is about processing and not about data transfer. My point is in relation to the server user to the end user, not just the end user. What I'm trying to point out is the...

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    I'm quite sure your misunderstanding my point - sorry. Currently, fiber optics though fast, is limited by the equipment used to transfer the data. I could be wrong, but I'm sure fiber has the potential bandwidth in the Terabits/s range. But current routers, switches, and servers are in the...

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    Na, I know I saw that typo awhile ago. I ment to use the word "transmit" and used "process" instead - was too lazy to change it :) P.S. - The word "Yottabyte" didn't make you giggle?? Hmmm, Intellegent and Quick Master Yottabyte indeed is He!

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    I disagree, Quantum computers will make all the differents. Fiber has the abbility to TRANSFER at 320Gbits/s with current techonology. With Quantum Computers - or even Quantum Optics(Quantum Interent!) things will be INSAINLY Fast! Think in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yottabyte" /s!

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    Well I had an entire post typed up to explain this and I pressed the backspace key when the text box was not in focus - and the browser backed me up a page... and i lost everything i typed... stupid IE... Anyway. Yes, and no. A normal computer doesn't measure states - it reads pulses. Pulses...

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    http://ctp.lns.mit.edu/research-quantum.html" to name a couple. I am sure most universities have quantum computing research centers since it is the up and comming technology. They are striving to perfect munipulation of the property of an electron without disrupting other electons - as well as...

    Light Speed Internet: Questions & Answers

    Quantum Computing will take advantage of quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. The bit operation will be different that standard computing which is binary - on or off, 1s and 0s. Instead they will use the properties of the particle to describe data - giving them a wider...

    Acceleration and Time Dilation

    The post(after the first paragraph) was about acceleration - though I can see how it might be confusing - I apologize. The first paragraph was to show the consistency of movement within a frame of reference with constant velocity. For example, when a car reaches its highway speed and...

    Acceleration and Time Dilation

    If an observer is in a rocket traveling at a constant speed, both the rocket and the observer are in the same frame of reference - right? Anything influenced within the frame of reference will behave the same regardless of speed. The closer a rocket gets to the speed of light, the speed limit...
