Book Fall

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the concept that falling into a black hole (bh) allows for the perception of traveling through infinite space in finite time, with implications for time dilation. Participants seek clarification on the validity of this claim and request references or quotes from relevant literature. The idea suggests that a clock falling into a black hole experiences time differently, potentially appearing to travel at the speed of light (c). The conversation highlights the complexities of general relativity and the behavior of time under extreme gravitational conditions. Understanding these phenomena requires a deep dive into theoretical physics and astrophysics.

Is it true?

In what sense? Perhaps you can give us a reference, or a quote from the book.

To fall in a bh means to travel infinite space in finite time, so if a clock is falling, its time blocks, the same as the clock travels at c.

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
