oops, I forgot to take a look at the date that this thread was posted:blushing:

since lasers are set to a specific frequency, is it possible to cancel out the light wave of a laser by having another laser of the same frequency pointing directly at it? Just the same way as a car muffler works to cancel out sound waves, isn't it possible to do the same thing with a laser?

I think I'm starting to understand what you mean. Is this first picture how you are viewing the difference in how the rod is sitting? I am viewing it like the rod in the second picture.

I know, that is why I said it is nearly released.:smile: I guess I should have worded that better.

Actually, I think you have a good point. If you were holding a rod up vertically, it would weigh less, because the intensity of the warped time frame would be more where it is nearest to the earth, than the intensity of the time frame up higher into the atmosphere. I may be able to explain that...

What would violate the equivalence principle?

Thanks for that explanation, that is what I viewed in my mined. But if something could hold perfectly still, would it float as if it were in space? Also, everything that the object was made up of would have to be perfectly still.

I think I said this wrong. Time should move faster at his feet, and slower at his head, correct?

Oh . . . I always thought that the theory of relativity was just the space time continuum, in relation with light.

Theory. but, It looks like I'm not the first to notice this affect after all. I was just reading another forum where it mentions that Einstein also explained this same affect.

I had an interesting thought about what gravity really is, and I had to ask someone to see if they would get the same spark. I have been reading "E=mc^2" by David Bodanis, and after I had read a part about how the space-time continuum flexes around a star in the sky, I had this Idea that...

Really what is gravity, I don't understand.
