    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    I didn't think my reply was rude... I'm sorry. I am pretty lost, now. Aren't the radio-photons big? As big as a city? At least I mean, something about them is, from what I read before.

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    Are you saying that the photon is a point-like-particle, while it caries a wave ball? Like a massive city-sized glass ball with a hard dark point-particle in its center? Or that the point-like-particle is moving uppp and downnnn repeat in a big radio wave as wide as a city? How does that cover...

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    I don't think that makes total sense...try again... Also if radio is so big that how is that point-like-particles?

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    Aren't photons dual-theory i.e. wave-like particle-like?

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    No what I meant is, when you say "this photon X" is a trillionth of a meter or 1 picometer, saying such is suggesting the photon is that small, i.e. that-much-of-a-meter, because either way you say it is 1 trillionth of a meter or that it's 1 picometer - a trillionth of a meter. The photon must...

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    Yes, you can say either it's 1 trillionth of a meter or 1 picometer, BUT, in either scenario, it's still saying that the photon is 1-trillionth of a meter! Why say this! It has to be 1 trillionth of a meter.

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    Ok...but...why use meters then....the wiki page says a picometer is 1 trillionth of a meter.

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    How do they calculate a photons wavelength? I know what yous say all the time, but, isn't the full proof way to calculate this by seeing if it goes through a hole to determine its size? Determining its energy is one thing, but talking about "wavelength" only makes sense to me if they know how...

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    But am I supposed to times 10-20 by 1.24? Why don't they just give the answer/number? It's not a solid number, ex. 5, it's an equation ex. 5 x 99.

    B Questions about the highest-energy photons detected

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-high-energy_gamma_ray Wikipedia says this about Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays: This is approximately equal to wavelengths between 1.24 × 10−17 and 1.24 × 10−20 meters, or frequencies of 2.42 × 1025 to 2.42 × 1028 Hz. Such energy levels have been detected from...

    B Efficient Fast Orbital Transportation/Construction?

    I understand the precision. I'm putting the precision on the shoulders of a future super-artificial-intelligence. So as you said at the end, if their velocities when let go were not so big then they would not go diagonal and rather be on the same height level and would work?

    B Efficient Fast Orbital Transportation/Construction?

    So you're saying the far flywheel on the other side of Earth, when hit by the precisely timed parcels, will go into higher orbit?? I don't get it, you have two flywheels on opposite sides of Earth, with the same orbital height all perfectly, and one flywheel is spinning fast with two loads...

    B Efficient Fast Orbital Transportation/Construction?

    It's supposed to achieve a whole bunch of flywheels (and technological-structure) staying in space - in a geo-stationary orbit, with the flywheels holding the stored energy for a long time, and so, when the constructors want to transport matter, they can *quickly and *efficiently transport...

    B Efficient Fast Orbital Transportation/Construction?

    I'm confused, is the whole idea plausible?

    B Efficient Fast Orbital Transportation/Construction?

    Because they're in space?...Won't they basically indefinitely keep spinning?
