Thanks guys, I have a better grasp of this now.

I know that time and velocity are relative to the observer, but what about mass? For example, if my friend were to go 0.999c, we know that his mass would increase to me. But would he measure the same increase, or would he feel the same?

Hey, Virtual Particles do not break the law that energy cannot be created or destroyed. This is because Virtual Particles only "borrow" the energy for a very short amount of time. In fact, it's so short that we can't observe them. They actually arise from time/energy uncertainty principle.

Thank you, Geigerclick. I am actually going for my Ph.D in Mathematics (Almost finished with undergrad now). Mathematics is easily the most appealing of the Sciences to me; of course, Quantum Mechanics and Astrophysics are next. I really want to be a Theoretical Physicist one day, and I think...

Ah, so I guess that's why you can't send information instantaneously using Quantum Entanglement. Thanks for the help btw. I'm going to be visiting this forum more in hopes to better understanding Physics/Quantum Physics.

I'm sorry for the trouble, but I was hoping you guys could help me understand something about Quantum Entanglement. So if I measure the x-axis spin of an electron and get +1, then that implies the the other particle must have spin -1, correct? Also, what if I measure the spin of the...
