Are you people crazy? No guns at all. Supermarkets provide food. America's army kicks everyones arse. If a criminal comes at you with a knife, just swing a baseball bat. That's what we do in Australia. NRA? When will you Americans wake up and recognise that you are not a democracy. You are a...
Silly Americans. No guns. No gun crime. A punch in the nose every now and then is worth much more then losing your family. Just get rid of the guns. As if anyone is going to attack you with 6 billion nuclear weapons...
Thanks Vorde. Looked at space-time a lot, came to the conclusion that they got the name wrong. It should have been called “strange gooey stuff that does strange gooey things that isn’t really gooey”. :-)
Got me there. No idea. Not a professional. I think the best answer would be ‘perspective’. I just watch a lot of doco’s and they all seem to contradict each other. Makes it hard for those of us that are smart enough to ask the questions but don’t have the time to learn the answers.
But...
Something moving does not create time. It just moves. Just because things move at different rates based their physical surroundings doesn't make it time. Has anyone actually proved time exists rather than things occur at different rates in different circumstances?
Interesting. I guess that means as far as light is concerned there is no universe. Just 'I was" not "I am". Kind of throws the whole 'time exists' argument out the window.
Thanks QP. Just trying to understand relativity a bit better, so if "the thing we see" takes say one light year to reach us from its source, would it know it took one year to get here or think it instantly was created then hit my eye?
Thanks. I think. It was more of a philosophical question. I was trying to imagine if I was light (or more precise a photon) would I experience time and therefore be aware of myself?
Perhaps not the right place to ask these questions.
If light is both a partial and a wave; and the speed of light is an absolute; and a partial traveling at the speed of light experiences zero passage of time (I think that’s what Einstein was on about)how can light move at all through space time? Or is that what we experience as matter?
