Can Space-Time Differ for Ionized Fuel in a Magnetic Field Near Light Speed?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether space-time differs for ionized fuel moving near light speed in a magnetic field, with the consensus being that it does not. Participants clarify that virtual particles are not actual particles and do not exhibit linear motion; they are merely mathematical constructs. Additionally, it is stated that magnets do not emit particles, and magnetic fields cannot be directed like a laser to create a travel path. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clear, focused questions in scientific discussions. Overall, the thread highlights misconceptions about particle behavior in magnetic fields and the nature of virtual particles.

Summary: Can a particle accelerator accelerate gaseous fuel?

Does space-time differ for detonating ionized fuel moving near the speed of light within a magnetic field such as a particle accelerator?

@Nonametheone In the future please ask one question at a time and give folks some time to answer before posting a new unrelated question.

Should I delete this question?
 
Yes but I still think virtual particles can have linear motion without a receiver. I will read more of it soon. I still have yet to learn equations.

Virtual particles don't move. They're bookkeeping devices for certain calculations which mathematically (!) look like particles in certain ways.

Then what are the particles that a magnet emits?

There is no particles that magnet emits.

So what is a magnet emitting?

Nothing. Magnetic or electromagnetic field is just there, it's not emitted in the form of particles.

Summary: Can a magnetic field be directed like or with in laser or beam to create a fine path to travel upon?

Does space time differ for matter with magnetic properties moving within a magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
Magnetic field can't be directed as a path, field created will be around the magnetic material.
