First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong area, I will happily move it if it is. I realize Dark Matter and Dark Energy are not assumed to be the same thing. Here is my question. Can Dark Matter / Dark Energy be a result of Black Holes? Our Universe didn't start accelerating in...

Is it not possible for something that is massless to travel at less then c? Assuming a vaccuum.

My thoughts were based on the idea that it wasn't due to having mass at all that kept you from gaining lightspeed, it was the appearance of gaining mass that kept it from happening. ie...as you go faster your mass increased thus requiring more energy to continue to go faster. I had thought...

Ok, one more quick question. Why is it that light can go that speed. How does it avoid the time-dilation factor and such? Is it due to it's near zero mass? (Or is it zero mass?)

Oh I follow! Thank you. I will give that some more thought. I will also check out the transformation equations. Again I appreciate the input.

Thank you for your input on this. I am uncertain I fully follow though, it seems that as speed increases you still have a force that works against you to achieve light speed. If it is not mass gained, is it more like resistance of timespace, not so disimilar then wind on a running person?

I believe Einstein said, 1.There are four dimensions to space, the normal three plus time. 2. Speed of light cannot be obtained due to an object traveling at such speeds gaining mass. The faster it goes, the more mass gained, until it reaches “infinite mass”. 3. Mass and Energy are pretty much...

Do you think it is possible that there is more then one Universe, expanding.. or that we could be expanding into the remains of another Universe?

The idea here is that the Balloon is representative of our Universe, the Jell-O is the Infinite Space, that it is expanding into. Logically there could be several balloons expanding into our bowl of Jell-O. What it comes down to, is the idea that what we have, our expanding universe, has to...

Here is my fun and interesting explanation of the Universe. While it is my take on how it all works, I make no claims to having a “real clue”. This is just how I see it all in my head. I am not a mathematician, I visualize it all in my mind, and this is what I have come up with. The Jell-O...
