    Are there particle's or masses that travel faster than light?

    I don't think so. I may be incorrect.

    Does Light Really Slow Down When Passing Through a Medium?

    Right. Maybe I'm just confused, or wording this incorrect. Speed of light is constant, but an observer's relative point of view may apparently distort it. Ex. Light is traveling along *la ta da* but a person who is affected by some strange gravitational force or otherwise, it observing it much...

    Conservation of energy of two thrown stones

    The answer is C, by reasoning. I didn't do any math, and I haven't taken intro-physics yet, but my reasoning is this: The speed will stay constant, unless altered by another force, which neglecting air resitance, speed is constant. So when the rock hits the ground, it will be a the same speed...

    Does Light Really Slow Down When Passing Through a Medium?

    Time is relative, so couldn't our observation of light make it appear as if it slowed down, but it actually is just our perspective? In a nutshell..?

    Understanding how energy disappears

    Ah, thank you. That cleared things up a bit. Hayley

    Are there particle's or masses that travel faster than light?

    Don't the quantum computers send energy quicker than the speed of light via electron tunneling? I'm not sure if that counts as traveling. Hayley

    Understanding how energy disappears

    If my understanding is correct, which it may not be, wouldn't super-massive black holes be attracted to one another? So although a thermal equilibrium may be reached, the gravitational force of the black wholes would draw them all together? Leading to another possible big bang? I mean, space...

    Which Equation Deserves the Title of the World's Most Beautiful?

    Well, it may be hard to say. I am a junior in high school, so my physics knowledge is limited, however, I am fond of i^2 = -1 Imaginary x Imaginary = Real. Seems silly but awesome. Hayley
