Ah hah! Unlike myself you have not mastered the art of hiding behind curtains ;)

Once when I was 16 (the legal age of consent in the UK) I was at a party my girlfriend was holding, and we were just a little drunk. Anyhow, around 10pm I was with my girlfriend in her room... You can guess the rest and the general idea of the situation. After about 10 minutes we heard a knock...

814.23 Newtons to two decimal places. Course, if you meant what is your mass, then the answer is 83 kilograms. ;)

Or they want to make something up about equal and opposite forces to the moon's pull.

Plenty of wood for a campfire, at least. How many bubbles are there in an Aero?

Yes, yes it is. In my mind, the infinite size of the universe (which I had mentioned, infact, check my FIRST post) is part of the consequences of the big bang. So perhaps anything saying the universe was not infinite would show that the big band was not true? Please, stop nitpicking. I'm a...

Okay, okay, okay. I lose. That'll teach me to try and be big, clever, and make things up. I stand corrected for most if not all of my posts so far... Thank you for pointing out the flaws, even so. I feel like I learn through these stupid mistakes. :)

Thanks for the explanation/correction... As of yet I haven't even become a freshman yet - not till next year. So you see I wouldn't have reached that yet - only through a little of my own reading. But still, I enjoyed the post. It's interesting, and I guess it's taught me a little more about...

Yes, yes it is. If it was moving to the side of you then for you to see it light would have to be emitted from it in your direction. In this case it would be blueshifted as the object approached, redshifted as it moves away from you, and it would not be altered at all as it passed directly...

Thank you all (or most) for helping me with this, and assuring me I've concluded something which isn't completely stupid... as the current ideas and theories stand, at least. At the moment, this is indeed the way I think. Saying this, if anyone comes to correct me with any evidence or theories...

As I said - I know very little of the physical sciences. I'm only just at A2 level, not even to degree standard. So, yes, it seems mysterious to me... but hopefully, then, it shall become "a common thing" when I have had the chance to study condensed matter. :wink: I shall try not to, in...

Surely all the ideas here based on the Planck length and/or Planck time are heavily theoretical? And Chronos, thanks for correcting me and helping me understand. I know it may seem basic to you but I'm only just getting into this... :cry: :wink: :: Ben ::

But isn't it also a form of kinetic energy? Or have I completely misunderstood that, somewhere? :: Ben ::

I just thought of this... I'm sure I'm wrong, somewhere, or there'll be a flaw in my logic, but here we go. Assuming the universe is infinite in size, then the edge of the universe is infinitely far away from me in all directions. If the edges of the universe are the same distance away...

You have indeed! ...or at least just enlightened me, and corrected me a little. Whoops. Would this not also be able to be explained away with a suitably complex gravitational field? I was alway brought to understand that any observer could always claim to be stationary if a suitable...
