Right this is how I understand it now...I was originaly going by what some "physicist" said who may not have been all that knowledgeable about what he was talking about (I won't say for certain until I can find the original link and share it with you guys) Another way to think of it bending...
Sure I understand that Satalite Positioning systems we use to navigate here on Earth also use SR theory in order to operate properly...I am not asking for experimential proof of SR in and of itself...but I am asking what experiment was there that was done which proved a particular concept of...
Ive got one side question for you aside from the main one. You state that as something approaching the speed of light it gains mass, which I know is based on Einsteins theories...this I am not doubting...however you state that this fact has been proven by experimentation. Id like to know about...
Whoah...now wait just a second...this whole scenerio is based on whether or not a beam of light 'bends' when you move it...if it does not then it would indeed be the same as having a perfectly rigid stick. How can you claim that it does not bend (or appear to...lets just assume every time I say...
Yeah I am starting to agree with this...I wrote a longer thing about my thoughts on what people had said in another reply here on this page...I just had to reply to you as well 'cause I wanted to say KUDOS on those very nice qoutes at the bottom of your reply! I really liked 'em. I am going to...
Right I noticed that as well, of course after I posted my question! I guess everything lies on whether or not the laser beam bends when you move it...which according to what I've read here it would...I remember reading this scenerio where a physicist claimed that it was a special exception to...
Ok my question has to do with a thought experiment which seems to allow faster than light transfer of information. I'm sure there is a problem with it...I just can't seem to figure out what that problem is...so I thought you guys could help.
First you build a sort of telegraph system that...
Ok I had to think about your explanation for a second to understand it. I've taken college courses in humanities and haven't had much of a formal education in science, and am mostly self taught in that area-so I think I have to digest some of the terms a bit to understand them. I am having a bit...
I was reading some of the other replies, and I just didnt get this into I read yours. Where you say "two lines of static charge parralel to each other" the other(s) said two 'infinite' lines. Thats what kept hanging me up. I kept trying to visualize the concept of an infinite line in motion, and...
Ok so I am trying to understand the concepts talked about here about relatavistic gravity...It seems to have been described a few different ways by different posters and I seem to be getting more and more confused. Ok so I will just try to (without qouting) reflect on what the various posters...
Make sure to make the definition of Free Energy and Perpetual Motion exact if you use this as an Idea. Perpetual Motion probably does defy Thermodynamic Laws, however the definition of this term is generally used in a closed system where new energy can not be introduced. Free Energy however is...
