You know what I never could understand? How, when your traveling at, say 299 792 457 m/s, how light still moves away from you in all directions at 299 792 458 m/s. I understand that time slows down, but how. How does time slow down to such a degree that light would be traveling at a relative speed from you of 299 792 458 m/s even if you were going 299 792 457 m/s. It seems that it would have to go at 599 584 916 m/s but we all know that the fastest anything in the universe can go is 299 792 458 m/s.
Also, if the Universe essentially sits on a plane like the Theory of General Relativity states, then how are there different objects in space in different locations that would not equal a "flat" plane? I understand that objects push down on the plane to create a gravity well, but how would you have a single universal plane when you have X object, say our solar system, above or below Y object, say, the Centauri solar system?
Also, am I the only one excited about our galaxy colliding with the Andromeda galaxy, simply for the scientific knowledge it could give us?
One more thing, completely off the scientific topic, in the Dragon Ball manga/television series, when did Goku learn to fly???

Well numbers aside and using imagination which Einstein said
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
So that said *ehem* :turned: if we were able to travel at the speed of light and for the sake of conversation in the same direction as light (more or less) I imagine light would appear to be an almost tangible brilliant spectrum of hovering mist or smoke. We might even see it run into us and reflect off and watch it move away from us in slow motion. If we took a swipe at it we might even speed up it's motion by increasing it's rate of movement away from us.

I love this stuff, I was the only person I knew who was totally elated that the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was going to collide with Jupiter when they first discovered it would months before it did. First time in human history we got to witness such an impact. The comets impact would have wiped Earth out had it hit us.
As far as gravity goes, that one area that science doesn't understand very well. they don't know what causes it and they don't know to reproduce it. Once they do that, then they will be able to figure out how to ignore it and space travel will get a whole lot easier.

Not to mention that gravity was never proven to even exist. Its nothing but a theory.
There are alternative theories that try to explain "Gravity" and they involve different electrical charge values between objects and such.

well... that's quite easy to understand, it's not a plane at all... the plane thingy is just a way to show graphically the theory because is hard for almost everyone to visualize objects cruving a 3D space, so imagine it's not a plane but all the infinite planes around the object are curved to produce that effect...

Yes, but the problem is, when you move, time moves slower for you, and the faster you move, the slower time is. And I think I just figured it out. You would be moving at such a fast speed, if you were moving one meter per second slower then the speed of light, that time would be essentially standing still, which is why light would be moving so fast, because photons are not subject to the laws of matter, as it technically isn't matter in the sense that we would consider matter. So as we move at 299 792 457 m/s instead of 299 792 458 m/s time would slow down for us, but not light. We would still be traveling at such a great speed, but time would be slowed down to such a degree that light would still pass us at 299 792 458 m/s without breaking any laws of physics.
Is that right?

I just don't understand how Gravity exists while centripetal force also exists, as the two forces would push against each other.
But then, you would have to have both forces to have planets moving in a circle, and not colliding into each other, wouldn't you?

They're overplaying the Winchester mystery house, I use to live in the area and have been there. Sarah Winchester was a very kind lady, during the great depression she hired unemployed construction laborers to build these places to nowhere so they could earn money. It is a really cool place to visit though. Now cool houses that really have some bad blood behind them are spite houses. There are a number of them all over the US, the world I imagine too. One in Alameda got my attention I happened upon. It's 10 feet wide I shit you not.
At the turn of the 20th century, the city of Alameda, California took a large chunk of Charles Froling's land away to build a street. Froling had planned to build his dream house on the plot of land he received through inheritance. To spite the city and an unsympathetic neighbor, Froling built a house 10 feet (3.0 m) wide, 54 feet (16 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) high on the tiny strip of land left to him.
My cruiser has a bunch of TII stuff but the lasers are bad (Afocal Pulse Laser). My frigate was much better, since I actually have skills for it. Frigates > cruisers. Cruisers are just slow frigates that pretend to be tankier and don't have the cap to make up for their medium modules. AF's ftw.
Now just to train for my Interceptors... and fast targeting... I'll be tackling shuttles.
Played a demo for Kohan Ahrimahns gift, it was actually a really fun game.
Now that you remind me, I should go look at the torrential rainfall outside, it's insane.

Get Kohan 2, Kings of War if you can, and add me. I'm a complete and utter noob, what with just getting the game, but it's really quite fun.
So far I like the Haourun(?) race with the Council faction. <3 Granted, I am still working on the campaigns. Lol.
He got off to an early start. At first thought great another pathetic drunk, but then I watched that remix. :biggrin:
