I am personally not sure about what you mean by time not mattering. I think that time passes at the same rate wherever you are and whatever you are doing, or whatever speed you are traveling at. It only looks like events speed up or slow down as light receded or advances from the source. The...

The cumulation I proposed is wrong actually. The alphabet gets seen on Earth and by Bart both in 26 minutes. When he returns home, 52 minutes elapsed on all clocks, and he gets the pizza.

Special Relativity is wrong. Bart Simpson leaves Earth on a skateboard at lightspeed - 670 M MPH, c. He takes with him a wristwatch synchronized on Earth time, (but the synchronisation is largely irrelevant), and 26 cards, each with a letter of the alphabet on them, from A-Z. He holds up...

Can anyone say how big a black hole is? Could its diameter be less than the distance that light can travel - ie less than one wavelength?

Only a short, singular thought on the lines that fuzziness might correspond in some way to numerical irrationality : although you can move along the PI series as you traverse it, you paradoxically get no nearer the end. The miniscule 'imperfections' (irresolveabilities) inherent in such...

I was contemplating the innards of an algorithm that I needed to write in order to try to simulate randomness in a computer programme. In that process, this chain of thought crossed my mind: Randomness can never be achieved, nor emanate from, any non-random source or system. Everything that...
