I believe Einstein said,
1.There are four dimensions to space, the normal three plus time.
2. Speed of light cannot be obtained due to an object traveling at such speeds
gaining mass. The faster it goes, the more mass gained, until it reaches “infinite mass”.
3. Mass and Energy are pretty much the same thing in different states.
4. E=MC2, Or… you can got a whole lot of energy from a pretty small item.
Ok, based off of all of that.
To get to the speed of light you have to burn off mass as fast as your gaining it, perhaps by some kind of controlled chain reaction. Using the mass your burn off to propel yourself. (Perhaps also a means of pretty much limitless power. By creating something you can accelerate a particle in so it will gain mass that you could then “burn off” for power).
Now, it would seem odd that just moving creates mass. Unless it is due to energy created by moving through space/time, like friction from moving through air.
Of course if Time truly is a force that we can feel, then it would seem moving through at higher speeds does a couple things. There is resistance and there is energy/mass attached to or generated by whatever is moving through at high speeds. It would also stand to reason, some sort of wake would be created, much like a submarine moving through water would create. (I wonder if that would be somehow detectable).
Another thought on this. If anything reaches this point of “infinite mass” what happens if it weakens, or goes critical? Could the Big Bang have been the result of a near infinite mass particle going at light speed?
It makes sense that time actually slows down for someone going at such high speeds. If your falling from an airplane the air seems to be “rushing past you”, all due to mass and air resistance, etc…you even reach a “terminal velocity”. However if you went flying past someone floating in the air, their experience would be much different then the falling person. Therefore pushing your way through time and space, leaving who knows what kind of wake behind, (the source of deja vu?). Time, like water would be forced to move aside and around you. Again this suggests even more that the mass gained is as much resistance by Time then anything else. However we cannot rule out energy created by this resistance doesn’t attach itself to said speeding object, perhaps “charging” it somehow, truly increasing the mass of the object.
Or perhaps Time is the force that controls how fast electrons go around a neutron, the force that controls how fast things decay, etc. Pushing through it…the resistance created could force things like atomic clocks to slow down. Perhaps not truly effecting “Time”.
Time may truly be less of a means to which one would mark passing events, and more the very thing that ties everything together.
Now one of the issues is of course what happens if you can get to the speed of light? Say for instance you build a ship that you propel forward, as the ship gains speed, it gains mass, (Is it also gaining potential or kinetic energy?), and say you find away to actually turn that mass into more energy to continue propelling it forward? Surely that would be one impressive explosion. What effect would that have on the space/time continuum itself? Or would the resulting mass and energy discharge actually warp space around you?
Thoughts and replies appreciated.
