The whole idea of time travel is that time is not linear. if it was, then time travel wouldn't allow the travel backwards, only forwards. There are too many reasons as to why they wouldn't show up. Most of all could be, maybe they did, it just so happened that the two different parallel...
You really can't tell. If everything was energy, then you could just trace the straight line back to the source, but due to matter which has gravity, then light becomes curved and all jumbled up till you really can't find the center or origin
Also, think of gravity like the picture of a negative charge. All the lines of force point inwards to a central point if the only body in the example is the body causing the gravity. At every distance, the force is the same, but decreases slowly as you move farther and farther away. This...
I'm just taking a little bit of a wild stab at this, but I would assume that certain materials have a molecular adhesion or attraction which causes much more friction!
But for the person in the starship, time would move along at seemingly the same pace it always has. So that means that the person would age at their normal rate, but once they slowed down, many more years would have passed, if i have this correct.
I understand that time dilation means that the closer to the speed of light an object goes, the slower time seems to pass relative to a stationary observer. My question is, if time seems to slow down in the spaceship moving at something close to the speed of light, then would other time related...
Railguns are a more difficult weapon to create than say a coil gun which utilizes a coil of wire with a current running through it to generate an magnetic field which would propel a ferous projectile at high speeds
It is not possible. First, where would this infinite mass come from? Second, as far as all physicists and researchers know, the universe contains an finite amount. I have to eat my own words, scientists have determined the mass of the universe based on stellar density, about 8 times 10 to the...
No, the law of conservation of mass says that matter can not be created or destroyed. The universe started with a certain mass, m, so while there is a finite amount of mass in the universe, it may just be hard for humans to measure it.
Just to point out, many modern guns rely on gravity in some form or another to reload or eject a cartridge, so there would have to be compensation for that or the gun would jam after only one or two shots
Well no need to snippy. I am new to this physics forum and just wanted to know if something that I had postulated had any leg to stand on. As for the peer-reviewed article, I am sorry I came prepared to a fight with only a derringer when I obviously needed a nuclear warhead. You can easily...
