In another thread, someone hypothetically suggested that a spaceship orbiting Earth at the speed of light for 1 years (relative to the spaceship) would be 7000 years relative to people observers on earth. Even though the spaceship only when 1 light year, to Earth observers, 7000 light years...

All things being relative, Velocity = Distance/Time. If a gravity center slows time, wouldn't the distance have to increase for this rule to be true? Like, if you fell into a black hole, time would slow as you approached. But you might never actually get to the black hole because the distance...

But how do we know which is being distorted and by how much? For example, if hypothetically, I put a 25-foot tape through a 20-foot time dilation bubble would it change the distance to the other side? Obviously I could measure the outside of the time dilation bubble and it would still be 20...

In tune with the idea that gravity can affect time, can gravity affect distance? Like, if I am traveling a specific velocity I can reach a place in a specific amount of time. But if time is compressed, relative a remote observer, I would reach my destination sooner. But, if you pull a...

Does anyone know the standard rate of repair that the Earth can return carbon dioxide to oxygen?

Thank you for the reply. Yes I am trying to find the cost of creating solar panels in terms of carbon and energy. So far it looks like you get about 3 times your investment back out of the solar panels. Of course this depends upon the location of the solar panels. Some countries have better...

I'm trying to determine how much energy it takes to melt down sand into silicon, and convert it to solar panels. any info would be great. Thanks.
