The cover story of Scientific American “Living in a Quantum World” by Vlatko Vedral really caught my attention this month.
I was going to purchase “Decoding Reality: The Universe as Quantum Information” but the reviews are BRUTAL. I can’t seem to find much about this concept here in the...
I don't know the answer but here's what i think the answer might be...
Spacetime does not, and can not, affect different parts of the same object differently.
Here’s why I think it can’t.
Time is relative based on a frame of reference. Which means, a planet (the planet) has only 1...
Zapper's post was a bit harsh, but he makes a good point. I think this forum is meant, among many other things, to help fill in academic gaps that enthusiasts like you and I have. But you have to start with a question and not jump in with a speculative theory, or else the academics will blast...
I'm in no position to judge anyone in this forum.
What I’m wondering is if there’s any such thing as time differential within an object. The object itself is moving through space and time as a single entity, even if spinning. If you spin around in a circle with your arms out, do your...
I wish I understood enough to give you any type of answer. I'm still not sure if anyone has confirmed whether time differential on a given object exists. Even if it does, I'm not sure if anyone has confirmed that a time differential within an object can cause mass to stretch or create any type...
You’re right of course. The beginning of time comment isn’t relevant. What I meant to say is that there’s no point in me wondering about perspective from reference frame of absolute rest because, as you helped me understand, everything with mass is in motion from at least one other reference...
wow, that was fast - and thank you. So everything that has mass is in motion and experiences time. Differences in time and speed are relative to the frame from which they are being observed. So is asking about absolute rest sort of like asking about the beginning of time? Or like asking what’s...
I'm hoping someone is willing to help me with this question.
Time is well explained when observed at point between absolute rest and c. The faster an object travels through the dimension of space, the slower that object travels through the dimension of time. Fair enough.
Does this...
i think he's asking if time moves slower on Earth's surface than in the core due to the difference in rotational velocity. If so, what would be the implications?
Skeptics don't demand evidence for the supernatural, they demand evidence to back up a claim of the supernatural. Skeptics are willing to accept: "I'm not sure what that was, but here are some things I think it might have been [insert natural and/or supernatural phenomenon here]…". Skeptics are...
how? It’s the existence of unexplained phenomena that has always been attributed as evidence to the existence of ghosts. The only rebuttal is to challenge the phenomenon that was cited as evidence of paranormal activity.
We watch because we can't figure it out. His job to create illusions that are not easy or readily explainable. He wouldn't be much good if he did stunts that were easily explainable. He's one of the best in his craft for sure.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to prove that ghosts do not exist without providing evidence that demonstrates how their existence is not possible. Lacking that evidence, we can only prove that phenomenon used as evidence of the existence of specific paranormal activity can be reattributed to...
Thank you diazona, this is my first day on this site. very cool. Now I need to find where the "absolute rest" discussions are hiding. (i know, i know - not in this universe)
So many questions, so few physics classes…
