Cool.

I'm a high school senior at the moment and am interested in knowing MIT's stance in the theoretical physics community. I've heard it's a bad place for particle theory, but I'm not sure I want to go into that anymore. Recently I've been intrigued by SUSY and (less so) String Theory, but I'm...

I still need help!

I know that the question makes no sense. I quoted the question above and the answer they gave. I would like to know what seasoned physicists would say about doing this.

I should note that he is, allegedly, a construction worker with a ninth-grade education. Not saying that he couldn't have dabbled in SR, but maybe his knowledge is a little off. This is the answer that he gave: As the light from her getting bored and leaving would not be able to reach your...

So what happens?

Here is the exact quote: "now , you have a person go goes into a spacecraft and begins to travel the speed of light (exactly) in circles around his wife. (yes i know that's not possible , but this is a thought experiment) His wife is standing in the yard , and he is going light speed around...

Assuming that the object was already traveling at light speed, what would happen if it decelerated? The question was asked to me earlier today, and I couldn't think of an answer.

I heard that an infinite amount of time would pass as an object decelerates from the speed of light, is that true?
