rued 7n , check into cellular automata, finite yet instantaneous speed across the whole system with possibility of simultaneous action across an infinityof squares. I personally read a new kind of science by wolfram, and tolkiens books to fill in the details later. For more information talk...

But true indeeed nevertheless. My suggestion is to reintegrate finite difference ideas.

it has been used in mythology since the time of zeno, fundamentally impossible and dismissed as entirely irrelevant and useless... look where that got the greeks going? LET ALONE THE PHILOSOPHERS, perhaps the greatest failure in existence. An axis to the dimension of time

the problem is people will tend to obsess over the truth of hypothetical mythologies and ramblings of philosophers. In fact such knowledge would be so dangerous, that it is conceivable that at the first sign of progress individuals are so entralled by the marvel of truth that further progress...

destination coordinates instantaneous teleportation. Even a monkey could slay a god with that.

though if perfect mirrors do indeed exist provided an infinite source of energy were found it is hypothetically possible at least that such instructions could mysteriously result in progress.

if this is so instantaneous travel could land you anywhere and would require a practically infinite energy source, good luck finding that! Since antiquity it has been searched, and no one is supposed to have found it hence, the red queen dilemma... constant progress while appearing to show...

I recommend studying history and finding out if guyver units ever did come into existence or if that is just an entire hypothetical scenario

ridiculous if that could work you'd have a perpetual energy light source? how plausible is that? Haven't people being climbing those rocks for ages when will they find something that is not a rock, but if everything's made of rock you're in big trouble.

Hmmm... That relativistic doppler effect is very strange, almost like an escape clause. Yeah while you traveled a million light years from a distant galaxy, and your flashing machine which flashes each frame you manage to watch of a single 'lost' episode to us(you just managed to finish...

It would seem that one would see a higher number of flashes than the other, unless I'm missing something. It would seem that if you sped the object up arbitrarily close to C, it will experience the passage of time at a very slow rate during any interval of travel. Say the following, we can put...

But we've already seen the difference in clock rates will have measurable effects on things like half life, which will alter the composition of radioactive rocks or ships composed of such. Surely the physical composition of the ships cannot be frame dependent. In previous posts related on this...

JesseM, I've heard of it. The order of non-causally related events can vary between observers, even be reversed or interpreted as simultaneous, iirc. Even if the clocks have different arbitrary times at the outset, all we have to do is establish a causal relation between the two objects, with...

The problem is, taking any two arbitrary objects, letting some time elapse... and measuring the rate at which their clocks differ should be practically possible. If we have a collection of objects, we can take any two arbitrary objects and do so, thus looking at how they differ relatively to...

What about the Bae research on the photonic laser thruster? It seems similar. I assume the satellites will be quite a distance away and the mirrors would be relatively small, though I've not checked beyond the press releases. If it works with small mirrors at significant distance one could...
