    Inertial Frames: Is 'Absolute Rest' Possible?

    Hello.. There is a reason I am asking these questions..maybe to try and build a 'little' something in the way of conversation and or understanding. If you are at the center of a black hole which is 'beyond' the event horizon 'time' as you know it stops. If that is the case then no...

    Inertial Frames: Is 'Absolute Rest' Possible?

    Hello... learning to post and into the appropriate forums. Also, can you delete previous post and how? Quick question: Since time as we know it does not or can not 'stop'... Is there such a thing as an intertial frame at 'absolute rest'? Thank you for any and all responses. Bye G

    The TOE and imperfect mathematics

    Hello.. I read somewhere that Mathematics is an imperfect science...basically a science with ultimately unprovable assumptions. Could that be the reason for the problem of squaring relativity & quantum mechanics? Thanks for any and all responses. Bye G.

    Does a Black Hole Represent a State of Absolute Rest in the Universe?

    Hello... If time stops at the event horizon of a black hole..which means there is no motion happening or can be observed..does that not mean that the centre of a black hole is a place of absolute rest? Could such a place of ab/rest 'move' thru the cosmos (basically a black hole which is a...

    Hello Can someone tell me what sources in the Universe produce

    Hello.. Can someone tell me what sources in the Universe produce anti-matter? Do black-holes, stars? stellar explosions? I can assume if these things are large in number...there should be a lot of anti-matter floating around in the Universe. I know a lot of it gets destroyed in the...

    Attacking Einstein (and other pursuits)

    Hello... I have heard that the speed of light is 300,000km/s. Planks constant is another number and so on and so on and so on. Alot of these numbers seem to be very 'arbitrary' figures... Is there a subject in physics called "parameter" analysis where the various arbitrary numbers and...

    Vector Addition: Calculating Bird's Speed in Southerly Direction

    Hello.. For some reason I come up with 20km/hr. Bye.

    Easy Physics P=mv momentum (please answer)

    Hello.. P = MV is the equation for momentum...in order to get the mass a rearrange the equation such that it looks like this: M = P/V now as an example let's suppose P = 10 and V = 10 So..for example I get M = 10/10 M = 1kg Questions: What are the...

    Relativity and collapsing stars

    Hello.. A response to the previous thought experiement. Because I am somewhat limited in time..I will use 'old' relativity speak. The preceding example has 'frame of reference' problems. From the 'f of R' of the ball.. no matter what speed the Earth is traveling thru space (and as far as...

    Relativity and collapsing stars

    Hello.. I thot I would just throw this in for conversational purposes. I light photon is supposed to be a rest massless particle...but it is altered in its trajectory in space by gravitiational fields..so...? Bye Gorn

    HelloHow far back in time should you look to provide answers to

    Hello.. How far back in time should you look to provide answers to questions? one week? one month? more? or less? If there is more than one reply..should you not bother providing anymore answers? Thank you. Gorn

    Relativity and collapsing stars

    Hello.. The second line of your text is what disturbs me. As an objects speed increases an increase in energy is needed. With an increase in energy..a resultant mass increase takes place as well. A neutron star has a 'rest mass'. If its speed increases..so will its mass to the point of...

    Ad Hoc Physics discussion & other subjects

    Hello.. Sorry about the haphazard (or time stretched) nature of this discussion..but hopefully something useful will come from it. I have also learned recently that emailing and posting etiquette in forums like this should have the requirement that the first line begin with a friendly...

    Ad Hoc Physics discussion & other subjects

    Hello.. I need the questions at the bottom answered so I can continue the conversation. The one's about the shortest and longest possible wavelenghth...actually..for conversational purposes I should have said "amplitude". Thanks for you further response. Gorn.

    Ad Hoc Physics discussion & other subjects

    You said that electrons impart energy to the nuclei of atoms and they begin to vibrate. Is this imparted energy a 'collision' energy...or a "momentum transfer energy" between the electron and the nucleus? Does this energy have a name? You said that when the nucleus vibrates it alters the e&b...
