    Is gravity really a force in the expansion of the universe?

    It's a response to a force? Which force? Is it one of the 4 fundamental forces? I read on Wikipedia that it is gravity, but how can that be?

    Is gravity really a force in the expansion of the universe?

    Is the expansion of the universe phenomenon considered a force or what? Basically I'm wondering how the mechanism of the expansion of the universe is represented in the standard model or any models of physics.

    How do I find my angle using sin and cos values?

    I used your method. Thank you!

    How do I find my angle using sin and cos values?

    But say my angle is 200. So I have inverse cosine(cosine (200)) which equals... 160. That's not what I want.

    How do I find my angle using sin and cos values?

    So, I have the values for sin (angle) and cos (angle)... how do I get back to my angle?

    I have a question regarding creation of anti-matter

    I meant that PET scans used positrons (antimatter). I didn't know where the positrons came from - thanks for clearing that up.

    What Happens to Time When Traveling Near the Speed of Light?

    tabchouri - no disrespect - I don't think there's much purpose behind answering the question as literally as you're interpreting it. I think that in order to purposefully answer a question like that - it requires a bit of imagination. The answer to the question you're describing has a simple and...

    I have a question regarding creation of anti-matter

    Gamma rays are high energy photons - not protons. Your first year university student was correct. Most antimatter particles were discovered in particle accelerators (http://livefromcern.web.cern.ch/livefromcern/antimatter/ ). Obviously you cannot accelerate particles to the speed of light - but...

    What Happens to Time When Traveling Near the Speed of Light?

    What if the matter that made up your body was annihilated by antimatter? I believe that would be a way to instantly turn your matter into light - as gamma rays are emitted when that happens.

    What Happens to Time When Traveling Near the Speed of Light?

    ok, ok... so, it's copying - and there's a primordial difference. I have a question then. How big of a difference is that? Is it significant - and how would you even measure that? Also, someone said earlier that "you" can travel at the speed of light if you dove into the sun. Is that a correct...

    What Happens to Time When Traveling Near the Speed of Light?

    I never said the original should be killed. Anyway, my point was not to illustrate a scenario where matter could be accelerated to the speed of light. It was rather an illustration of a manner where you could travel at the speed of light. It would merely be your information - not your physical...
