I still don't understand something, and it is my main question. Why at a black hole does the object stop moving because of time dilation, but for an object accelerating to near the speed of light velocities it doesn't slow down due to time dilation?
If something is moving at realllllyyyyy...
Thanks for the response. Everytime I try to ask this question I screw up...
What I meant by 'physically slow down' is that not only is the objects clock ticking slower but it's speed is slower.
I meant to say "Then isn't the same true for an object accelerating to a high velocity."...
I asked a question similar to this a while ago but I couldn't get a straight answer; I think because of the way I worded the question so I am going to try again because I am really curious about the answer.
I have read that a distant observer will see an object slow down as it approaches a...
So, you don't think the admissions committee would look down on his application, because he may seem fickle by transferring from CC to Uni and then to a different Uni each after only 1 year?
My brother went to a community college this past year and was accepted into a state university for the coming fall. However, this state university does not have as good of a program for his field as another university in the state, so after the coming year he would transfer out of that...
We are talking about eyepieces right? I don't intend on cleaning the mirror only the eyepieces. I heard that this wasn't too dangerous, is that wrong? Should I avoid doing this if at all possible? There are quite a few specs all over the side of the eyepiece that your eye is close to.
Also...
Great! Thanks for the advice. I will probably go get some stuff from the pharmacy tomorrow. Course its supposed to rain for like a week so I guess there is no rush.
Hi,
I was out doing some observing last night and a large amount of due got on my equipment. Everything looks alright but the eyepieces look pretty dirty, so I was wondering the best way to clean them. I have looked on line a bit and some places suggest 91% pure isopropyl alcohol and some...
From what I understand (and from experience), it is much easier to transfer into a school than to get accepted to a school right out of high school. Much easier.
After a year or two in college whatever you did in high school will mean absolutely nothing. If you make straight A's in...
I would make sure there are enough physics/math classes as to not slow down your graduation. I would also make sure everything you take would transfer properly (as stated in previous posts). If those two things hold up, my advice would be to go to community college for at least a year.
I am...
I am also deciding between Chapel Hill and NCSU as a transfer this coming year. So you aren't impressed by the math department there? I am planning on double majoring in math and physics so a good math and physics department is important to me. How do you like the physics program there? And...
