Graduate What happens when you enter a black hole
ZikZak the statements your making assume that you know what happens when you flash a light while your in a black hole, I find that hard to believe. Just because you see the light leaving your frame how can you say that another frame would see the same thing. You can't your just making...- GoodPR

Graduate Is It Possible to Integrate General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?
Ok, that answers mostly A.T. I meant a formula containing both at the quantum level.- GoodPR

High School Is Time's Speed Just Wild Speculation?
rls.jr your going to have to caculate the effect gravity has on this speed of time your speaking of also- GoodPR

Graduate Is Faster-Than-Light Travel Possible Relative to Other Celestial Bodies?
I disagree, If you are traveling towards a boat that is also traveling towards you, light would blue shift, your boats would hit the waves faster and thus increasing their frequency in much the same way. If you were traveling directly away from each other waves would take longer to travel to...- GoodPR

Graduate Is It Possible to Integrate General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?
"SR is a special case of GR" could you explain what you mean by that, without explaining too much, I do understand them in general, but I don't know what you mean by that exactly. "If the effects of gravity are weak or can be ignored, then GR reduces to SR" So are you saying in QM they...- GoodPR

Graduate Is It Possible to Integrate General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?
Gravity seems to squish space time, velocity seems to also. It seems that through each's affect on distance, a formula containing both could possibly exist. Also, if we stopped and considered GR a law instead of a theory for a moment, then we conclude singularities must not exist. And QM...- GoodPR

Graduate Is Faster-Than-Light Travel Possible Relative to Other Celestial Bodies?
Eekf, to say that anything your letting off at 90 would not come back to you does not apply to light as it does in water. In water you can travel (theoritcally) faster than the sound through the water, however you can not move faster than light, so therefore it could reflect back to you from 90...- GoodPR

Graduate Alpha Centauri to Earth: Apparent Speed > c?
It's sad that you both feel the need to discredit such a true statement. If I want to calculate rocket trajectories, I need to know relativity. If I want to tell my buddy bob the alien how fast I got there I just tell him it took me four years to get there, if bob felt like it he could say okay...- GoodPR

Graduate What happens when you enter a black hole
Though I appreciate your well thought out experiment, in it's beginning you claimed I said something, which I did not. I am not claiming the ship is a black hole in Earths frame but the Earth is not a black hole in the ships frame, I am claiming the Earth is a black hole from the ships...- GoodPR

Graduate Alpha Centauri to Earth: Apparent Speed > c?
semantics: "The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form: We're basically agreed; let's not quibble over semantics." There for when the rocketeer gets to the aliens he could say he traveled faster than light to make it there in 4 years. The difference between...- GoodPR

EEkf I don't even see what your trying to say, everything you said appeared to be in agreeance with all modern theories, the only thing you seemed to make a statement on was that the more knowledge we seem to gain, the more we close our minds to other knowledge. On that I'd have to agree, I...- GoodPR

Graduate What happens when you enter a black hole
Not true, your comparing two different frames. From the rockets frame it can send light to Earth, and from Earths frame it can send light to the rocket. That is what you meant, that is the comparable frame. What your saying is like comparing one time frame with a distance frame from a...- GoodPR

Graduate Alpha Centauri to Earth: Apparent Speed > c?
Thats what I don't get, you say it's not the speed of anything yet, clearly if you wanted to measure how long it would take a traveller to get somewhere far at a certain speed in his time, that's how you would do it. It would provide an incredible speed, it may not be able to be compared to...- GoodPR

Wow, you paraphrased me so badly you changed the meaning of what I said. Lets see if I can paraphrase a different part of it and get a different answer Quote myself " Light would still reach you ...it just will ...come from around the event horizon instead of directly from the...rocket"...- GoodPR
