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.
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?

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.
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?

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...
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???
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.
I <3 days off...
Has anyone played Kohan or Kohan 2?
DPS? Armor? Spec?
My lowly druid is 80 and has like, rather crappy gear, nothing t10 yet. Im mostly in i200's and i219's, with the t9 helm, shoulder, chest, and gloves.

Oh, dur.
Why didn't I know that. xD

One more thing, stop changing the coding. Lol.
Well, you have to admit, I've never been called the most sane and logical of people.
I think I'll try that game. July 14th?
It looks neat either way.
