If we were much more serious and backed into the space program, we could get make some serious progress, and could probably get a sizeable colony started on Mars by 2025 or so, but how could we make this happen, and it should happen soon, because this planet can't support too many more people...

I am not a smart man.

Thank you, I like this, and how would I find this new R rather than simply the radius?

Hey, I'm trying to understand gravitational time dilation, but can not find a good explanation for what R equals in the equation: T=T0/(sqrt(1-2GM/(Rc^2)))

9O was just trying as much as you are to try to find answer for why we are here, but I came up short , but i sure like your answer better than john john lennons all you need is love and jesus's all ypu need is to nelieve that I am the one of the true one. I was just using (3:3) as an example...

Could you or someone elaborate slightly on the (3:3) notation you used?

Ya, that works, I'm a little stumped on 4 (v1+v2+v3+v4)/(1+(v1*v2*v3+v1*v2*v4+v2*v3*v4)/(c^3) works but I didn't involve (v1*v2*v3*v4)/c^3), so I don't think that's right.

If a spaceship were going 99%c, and inside that spaceship was another spaceship going 99%c, and so on and so on. I know that the equation for adding 2 velocities is (v1+v2)/(1+v1*v2/c^2), so would the equation in this scenario be (v1+v2+v3+...vn)/(1+v1*v2*v3*...vn/c^n)? Or is there something...

Oh duh haha gamma of course, not my finest hour, thanks

That's been very helpful, thanks, but I still don't know what γ equals.

Ok cool, and then energy changes as momentum changes damn I love relativity haha this stuff is so mind blowing, I just found the equation for relativistic mass m=(m0/√(1-v^2/c^2)) this is a lot like the time dilation equation except doesn't t0 equals relativistic time and t=rest time, whereas m=...

Ok, so what would mγv be then? Also can the changing of mass then not be found using the e=mc^2+pc equation?

OK, so I manipulated the e=mc^2+pc eqaution to find that m=√(E^2-(pc)^2)/c^2, would this tell me what the relativistic mass is? I substituted e for mc^2+pc, and plugged 5kg in for mass, and .95c for v, and came out with an m value of 8.51kg, would this be right, or am I thinking of this...

Ok, thanks guys, glad you could clear this all up for me, what is the equation that I would use to explain how much more massive an object appears then?

As you guys probably know, as an objects speed increases, so does its mass. I was wondering if a black hole could be induced by speeding up a neutron star or some other massive object with high density to high speeds? Also, what is the equation that explains this phenomena? Also, if this is...
