I saw the Naked Science special last night about black holes, and one of the scientists said that the idea that compact matter existing inside the black hole is wrong. The matter exists in a 0 dimensional point = it has been crushed out of existence. So what keeps the black hole going? If the...
Is it possible that particle physics is over complicating theories about why all the matter in the early universe didn't annihilate, even though equal amounts of matter and antimatter existed? Is it possible that inflation happened quickly enough that antimatter and matter were blown clear of...
I know that massive objects can't travel as the speed of light, I thought it might just be interesting to think about what it might be like. :p
So what exactly is the maximum speed of information? 186,000MPS?
I kind of thought of the light cone as an "information cone", not just a light...
What is the consensus about the line that separates objects governed by quantum mechanics and those governed by relativity? What property(ies) do physicists look at when determining if something is governed by relativity or quantum mechanics? Is it a firm line or is it rather blurred?
I'm new, and basically just study physics as a hobby. I've yet to understand the mathematics, just the concepts. In studying spacetime contraction, I led myself to a paradox, which would leave someone both dead and alive. Let me explain.
Say you were on a spaceship that could travel at light...
