I'll see if its in the library. :-) It sounds like something I'd like. I finished The Physics Of Star Trek (and somewhere within that time period I had turned into a total trekker), and found Beyond Star Trek by the same author. Its about Star Trek, X-files and Cloverfield, and I've only watched...

Usually I understand the physics lesson, but I was confused this time. :-) I didn't understand the guys demo. They were supposedly talking about how light is measured at c no matter how you are moving relative to it, but I think he switched topics pretty quickly, to the time slowing down when...

*gasp* do NOT mess with the hair! jk, jk.. I've never gotten the term 'wear your hair'.. I mean, do you wear your eyebrows? woww. umm. you learned to read and write a little early, didn't you? :smile:

wow.. quite on the contrary, I find that Science Fiction is great for scientific inspiration. It brings the possibilities in and gets you to ask the question "Can this happen?" and find out WHY it can't. Check out 'The Physics of Star Trek'. It might be a bit below the majority of your guys'...

lol, so what are your feelings about teenagers on these boards?

the Roman numeral for 100... the first note in a C major scale... can't think of anything else. lol

:biggrin: yeah, I meant c, not C. oops. Sure, I'll post back once we watch it. :-) My Dad's pretty into physics, so he kind of wrangled us into it. Surprisingly I started enjoying it, which is probably why I end up asking stupid questions. lol. Ahh well, even stupid questions are better then...

Ohhh! Now I think I get it. :-) Thanks for the answer!

That's one concept that's been screwing me up for the last day. :-) It was in a physics lecture my family and I watched yesterday. Today I think we're going to return to that conundrum and further explore the implications of it.

Thanks for the welcome, Evo :-) Physics seems like a fascinating field of study, even though I don't comprehend even a thousandth of it. Borek, glad their are some other teens on here, even though I'm probably one of the youngest. ahh well. I have time. :biggrin: Char Limit, haha, no...

sorry about putting c as an uppercase. :-) It just seems like such an important number that it should be an uppercase. I do that with other words too. If something seems important, I automatically put it as an uppercase without thinking about it. Thanks for responding!

has anyone ever read it? I'm reading it now, and sometimes I don't understand some of it (I'm in 8th grade), but it keeps me on my toes. Anyone else ever read it, and if so what do you think of it?

Hi! Its me again. I randomly sat up in bed today, after having a nice dream filled with nice things, and my first thought is this questions: Is there any instance where light can go faster then C? and/or Is it possible to accelerate light past C? My attempt at a solution: Since the...

Ok, so quite obviously by the title of this post I am a teen. I'm in 8th grade, and am currently interested in physics. I was just wondering how many other teenage members of these boards there are.

I've been reading a lot about quantam physics and whatnot mostly for entertainment, but it suddenly hit me today that I didn't realize something. Why doesn't light get infinitely heavy, and therefore take an infinite amount of energy to move it? I've always accepted both the heavy, energy, and...
