bassfreake Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I still don't understand why your comp sci program didn't require a calculus based physics sequence. IMHO it would've been considerably easier and more fulfilling than trying to regurgitate equations. You would just have to memorize a few formulas and derive the rest. I didn't actually have to take physics even... I just had to take 2 semesters of some kinda science and I picked science but I haven't taken calc in like 4 years and I failed second semester calc so I didn't feel like tryina rely on my already sketchy memory to be able to handle calc related stuff Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

goldeneye4564 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 ^ I would also like to add. Here is the old saying, "Slow and steady wins the race." I challenge the physics of that statement. What if you are racing a turtle? Do you tie? Turtle vs Turtle? I RREEALLY ANGRY WIT U PHOTOBUCKET. HAD TO USE DROPBOX NOW HOLYYYYYY. Wanna ride bikes?

I'll try and give it to you this way; nothing can beat the speed of light (at least not right now, I can't say for sure in the future, as 11 billion years is quite a bit of time for physics concepts to change or new things to be discovered as we know them) Anyway: -Light is not slow and steady.

bassfreake Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 from everything I've been learning it doesn't sound like it will ever be possible for anything to beat light... cuz the speed of light seems relative to whatever is seeing it... so like if you're standing still and you see a light shining at you no matter how fast the source of the light is the speed of the light is 2.99792458e8 m/s to you. but if you're on a train that's going super crazy fast and you see a light in that train no matter how fast you're going the light that you see is still going the same 2.99792458e8 m/s in relation to you... so even if we could build something that could go 3e8 m/s or more the speed of light in relation to us would still just be the same 2.99792458e8 m/s... I guess going by that we could beat light back to earth in a race theoretically but it would still keep up with us by our own account... in which case things start getting really fuckin confusing lol Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

It would be more correct to say that nothing can exceed the speed of light, but there is a chance that an object may be able to reach a certain point more quickly than a lightwave. The reason nothing can exceed the speed of light is that an object would require an inifinite amount of energy to do so, not to mention that you would be lorentz boosted into negative time and dimension! Then you get into all sorts of funky metaphysics and paradoxes....granted that is assuming our current models our close to correct...which I would like to think they are if only a little incomplete. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get into all sorts of funky metaphysics and paradoxes....granted that is assuming our current models our close to correct...which I would like to think they are if only a little incomplete. Lol, I refer back to my first post, where I am exactly on point with you guys. But, I was so out of it last night I typed it wrong when I meant to say 1-100 trillion years is quite a long time, yo. We don't even know what a singularity truly is lol. What if MTAW being limited to so much of the observable universe when it graphed that later on the universe turns out to not be flat? All those kinds of questions, just make you wonder, can we ever truly be 100% sure about it all? But either way; know that for now I'm still in agreement with you guys. This is what I said before: It makes high school physics quite boring because god forbid, one person in the class understands entropy and astronomical phenomenons well enough to converse about it, but it would leave all the other kids out so we can't discuss it........................... if you were to tell people that we know time dilation was an observable occurrence because we know time is essentially "linear" because time is a parametric variable, and the 4th that spans the space described by the Minkowski metric, they would not have a clue as to what was being said most likely. And then you explain simply that if time did not exist, the speed of light would be a meaningless concept, and it would be impossible to explain the observed natural phenomena predicted by special and general relativity. Buuuttttt no, you say that anytime before the last day of school, and you will never get those kids to stop asking questions about "time travel"...............
