Hi Cam875. I think what you need to get your head around is that
with respect to you
The with respect to you part is important, because somebody who is standing still will also measure the lights speed as being c.
The reason for this is that velocities don't just add up the way they seem to.
I'm not sure I agree.
I quote this from wikipedia
I could be wrong here, but in my understanding a difference between SR and DSR is that in SR an objects length (in the direction of travel) tends towards 0 as v tends towards c.
In DSR, an objects length (in the direction of travel)...
Is there not an inherent paradox in Amelino-Camelia’s DSR (Doubly special relativity)?
Every solid piece of matter is the sum of its parts. Put another way, all the building blocks of a meter stick must be less than a meter in length (e.g. the lines dividing centimeters, millimeters, the...
Also... as Arthur C. Clarke puts it. Cavorite, or anything that could nullify a gravitational force would allow for the creation of free energy, or put another way, a perpetual motion machine.
Heres something interesting I noticed the other day.
I had just made a cup of coffee in a ceramic mug,
and had just finished stirring it. Absent mindedly,
I started picking up my spoon and dropping it into
the cup at roughly half second intervals.
On doing this, I noticed something very...
I assume youre looking at the object that's jumping from side on right?
(Like a Platformer) I also assume that you must be keeping its x, y
velocities independent from each other.
y

|________ x
If that's the case, keep your x-velocity constant as the jump is made.
To start...
Okay... I am pretty sure this isn't a paradox, so my
reasoning must be flawed somewhere.
Could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Consider 2 electrons, traveling in straight lines,
parallel to each other, at the same speed v, in
the same direction. An observer in a stationary...
