Early Morning Physics ( WTF )

[la0tsu]

 

However, consider this: What if everything is "stationary", and instead of everything moving farther and farther apart, it was simply shrinking on?

 

 

The Sun remains the same apparent size and distance from us. In your scenario, the Sun would either have to appear progressively smaller, or it must be a special case that is excluded from universal stationary shrinking. Given that all data indicate that the Sun is about as average a star as there is, that seems highly unlikely, and would require additional explanation.

wat?

That's absolutely correct. Something that I forgot to think about was whether or not shrinking actually explained the growing distances between galaxies ( which it doesn't ), or what its implications were for other scenarios, like the solar system you suggested.

Unless the shrinking is in a general sense, so everything would be shrinking at the same rate, incomparison with everything else. Wouldn't explain the growing distances though, unless of course it's simply the mass of the physical objects shrinking, causing the distances between to grow because of the subsequent lack of size of the objects themselves.

 

 

........ooooooorrrrr something like that.

Too many words...didnt bother reading

[starsnuffer]

Wow I'd rather copy and paste 5 year old chain emails then have original thoughts of my own too.

: : Women are EVIL! Here's proof!

 

: : We all know that women require multiples of time and money.

 

: : women = time X money

 

: : and according to Benjamin Franklin, "time is money"

 

: : time = money

 

: : so we have

 

: : women = money X money, so women = money^2

 

: : from the Bible, we know money is the root of all evil

 

: : money = sqrt(evil)

 

: : by squaring both sides we have

 

: : money^2 = evil

 

: : and making the final substitution, we conclude

 

: : women = evil

Well, your ideas about visualizing multiple dimensions are really good - you have a natural grasp of that sort of visualization.

Remember this quote, by the brilliant physicist Niels Bohr : "We are all agreed that your theory (fission) is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough. "

 

Matter *does* affect the rate of local time, as it warps space around the mass, time runs at different speeds at various points (precision clocks in airliners run slow both due to increased distance from the earth's mass and traveliing at a tiny fraction of the speed of light). Your nuance here is that there is a deeper equivalence between time and mass/energy.

 

Now using energy to move in 3D space is well explained, but you have added that it is also contributing to the change in the 4th dimension (t). There needs to be some extra amount of (t) at our end-point that isn't explained by the normal progress of (t) or tiny effects of our speed causing a change in the local rate of (t).

 

Will our mass 'burning' into E cause us to move faster through (t) or slower ?

 

Oh, and your 1:30 appointments are waiting outside, a....Mr. Lorenz and Mr. I.N. Stein. They're kind of agitated, I don't know what their problem is.

Maybe the conversion of shrinking mass = energy thus propelling through time has a different effects on things like stars? Maybe that is what causes stars to go through their stages of life. Maybe the energy feeds into the stars getting brighter and brighter until it dies down? Just a thought. Just because planets are actual mass and stars are more gas?

That was actually pretty cool. haha.

Too bad they don't teach you to not end sentences in prepositions at your university.

 

Too bad they don't teach not to split infinitives at yours.

[Vittra1]

Time does not exist.

 

[isvoid]

Too bad they don't teach you to not end sentences in prepositions at your university.

 

This is a strategy you should align yourself with.

 

oh wait

 

[kissmyace]

I don't have time to think about such things, in the morning, I just want to

take a good dump.

I have a science degree in physics but I can't be bothered reading that

[Say Ocean]

Very interesting indeed, but... The law of conservation of matter?

 

The mass of an atom is less than the sum of its parts because some matter is converted into binding energy.

[Sex Panther]

The answer is 4.

[RamoRenDez]

I remember this thread... :poke:

[Sixtonoize]

 

The answer is 4.

 

 

So now you're saying that 4 = bumping threads that are 7 months old?

I was looking for the T-Shart thread, and found this one.

Power is the killer. Given infinite time, a tiny power input would accumulate infinite energy.

 

Power is analogous to salary. Rate of wealth accumulation may be more important than instantaneous wealth. In other words, time derivatives are crucial to evaluating quality of life.

it was deleted :bag:

lol...that is hysterical. Please find that thread sex.
