My problem with the theory of photons is that light has a speed and although it is very fast, it is still measurable. I am convinced that the only limitation to speed is the fact that photons, the particles that allows us to see things due to them bouncing off of the object, are the limitations...
Lets see if I have got this right then.
1. Speed is related to time dilation, the faster the speed, the greater the time dilation.
2. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
3. The speed of light is the point at which time is stationary.
4. If you could travel fast enough, you...
A supersonic aircraft would be silent if you were in front of it, as the sound wave acts in a cone from the front of the direction of travel outwards to the rear, that is why you see a supersonic aircraft before you hear it. The sound wave is an effect from its movement.
That's understood about infinite energy. Now if you think about the theory of the idea, and the theory that you have enough energy to propel a mass at the speed of light, if you were to slowly accelerate up to the speed of light and have the ability to take measurements of time dilation in doing...
What I find hard to grasp is that if light has a speed, and if time is supposed to be frozen at this speed, then surely this would mean that time has a speed also. Which would beg the question of what would occur if something traveled faster than light. My understanding is that the only reason...
Surely then the amount of time dilation can be made greater or lesser dependant on the speed, so the object that dilates time does not see any difference within itself, but sees the difference on objects not within its dilation, therefore, you mkust be able to reach a point where dilation is so...
Hi there, new to this group. My understanding is that light has a speed which if I can remember right is 2.997925 x 10 to the power of 8 m/s. It takes light 8 1/2 minutes to travel 93 million miles(distance from the sun to earth) this means that light travels 93 million miles in 8 1/2 minutes...
