This is an extremely vague question. Observation is what it is. Science does not dictate what we observe, it describes what we observe (that is, if we get the science right --- nature doesn't really care how we describe it, it just is).laith salim said:How did you find PF?: Online search
How the physics and science limit our cosmos observation and link it to speed of light?
I could not find any equation, study or science that can support and limit our observation parameters.
Good catch, ibix --- I often don't look at what forum questions are in or I would have mentioned that myself.Ibix said:Technical questions should be asked in the appropriate forum
Repost this question in the appropriate subforum, NOT here in the intro section.laith salim said:Current Physics telling us that we observe distant planet on a time delay fashion because speed of light photons can travel 300,000 km/sec and our observation beyond that distance is going to be in a time that already passed, how the physicists concluded that and based on what?
This is my first post, it seem I post it in wrong place, opologize.
The speed of light is a fundamental constant in physics, denoted by the symbol c. It is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum. This speed is important in our observations of the cosmos because it is the fastest possible speed at which all matter and information in the universe can travel. This means that any observations we make are limited by the speed of light, as it takes time for light to travel from distant objects to reach our eyes or telescopes.
As mentioned before, the speed of light is the fastest possible speed in the universe. This means that it takes time for light to travel from distant objects to reach us. For example, it takes about 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach Earth. This delay in light reaching us can make it difficult to observe objects that are very far away, as the light may have taken millions or even billions of years to reach us.
According to the theory of relativity, it is impossible for any object with mass to travel at the speed of light or faster. This means that we cannot surpass the speed of light to improve our observations of the cosmos. However, scientists have found ways to enhance our observations, such as using powerful telescopes and technology to gather and analyze data from distant objects.
The speed of light does not necessarily limit our understanding of the universe, but it does limit our ability to observe it. We are constantly developing new technologies and methods to gather information from the cosmos, but the speed of light still plays a crucial role in how much we can observe and understand about the universe.
Yes, the speed of light does have implications on the expansion of the universe. Due to the finite speed of light, we can only observe objects within a certain distance from us. This means that as the universe continues to expand, there may be objects that are moving away from us at a speed faster than the speed of light. This does not violate the laws of physics, as it is the space between objects that is expanding, not the objects themselves. However, it does limit our ability to observe these distant objects and understand the overall expansion of the universe.
