Yes, I was actually thinking if balloon or something on the poles can give you longer daylight. But I am unsure how to incorporate it. I would like the way to be interesting and scientifically accurate on this planet.
But, you would need to do the whole at least 3 months? Because once polar day is over there then you need to circle or sun sets behind the horizon. Moving to the South Pole seems the only option to me.
Protag cannot change the start, but We can assume that he is already in the north during the polar day for at least a month. He can plan when he leaves to make it to the south.
The task can be simplified: protag is in polar day in the north and has to move into polar day in the south without...
I actually thought about going to orbit, that pushes the story to be too futuristic. Lowest possible technology would be preferable. So it seems to be plane.
Could a ship theoretically do it as well?
I know, but the further the poles, the shorted the times. He would most likely stayed the further north he could get and normally live there.
The question is what is the least technology he can get it, I will use it to set the Epoch. Currently, I don't have even hypothesis how to do it without...
TL;DR Summary: I am working on a story and would like helping figure out how a person can stay under sun for 9 months straight
Hello,
I am working on a story and I need to figure out how my protagonist can stay consecutively without sun setting over the horizon for at least 9 months.
My idea...
How can an observer distinguish two objects that are moving from each other in space compared to those that are moving with space due to expansion of the universe?
This is interesting, but kind of vague. This looks to me more like the light wave hadn't changed, but the measure changed. Meaning everything shrunk. Can We interpret this as matter shrinking, and because of that the wave seems to have larger wave length? Is there a shrinking matter theory?
I was thinking about it a lot, and I am not sure how to explain cosmological red shift under conditions that just distance between comoving worldliness changes. How can this produce the effect of red shift? I always assume that the space in which the wave travels gets stretched.
I understand that We can say that what is expanding are worldliness of comoving observers. But something actually has to change for this to happen? This is more of an effect. What is the cause? I can imagine that the space is expanding, or time is expanding, both, or everything is shrinking...
Thank you for the responses. What I assume from most of the responses is that it that this just an interpretation, and We can attribute the expansion to expansion of space, time or both arbitrarily, without any change at all.
For me, it is logical to assume that if We think that all spacial...
I am trying to find some sources about time dimension expansion during spacetime expansion.
Why do We assume that only spacial dimensions expand? I only found a lot of weird arguments.
Btw, temporal dimension expansion does not mean that second was shorter in the past. Similarly to spacial...
