Dissipation of light?

Re: Dissipation of light?

Light is just a particle, the theory that light somehow sets the limit on speed is ridiculous. Einstein is cool and all, but instantanious travel has been accomplished at the subatomic level. Making transmissions faster than light. Travel no, but there are some very good working theories being put to test this year, I'll rub it in your face when they work out mkay.

Instantaneous information transmission is doable (Schrödinger's kittens, anyone?), but not mass transfer. You say instantaneous travel has been accomplished, but you offer no source. Come back with a link or article that can be scrutinized.

Why you have a problem with the speed of light is beyond me. Nothing's been seen to move faster, and relativism has proven with empirical evidence that nothing CAN move faster.

I said travel, but later transmission, if I wanted a grammar award I would, well i dont want a grammar award.

Anyway, there have been some cool experiments with quatum reality, there has been visible objects which are the same occupying two points in space. Quantum variables are really interesting but I still havn't read up on them as much as I would have liked too, all my time at home is dedicated to writing my sci fi novel and I havn't reached the IT part yet.

Re: Dissipation of light?

I can't find the site now but there was an experiment where they had a photon go into a new quatum variable changing it's location. Also WTF Do We Know has a reference to it.

Re: Dissipation of light?

First of all that has nothing to do with grammar, and second of all that's a convenient excuse that doesn't count for anything o_O People who read your posts assume that you said what you meant, and this is a highly reasonable assumption. Another way to say it is that people respond to what you say, not what you mean. Deal with it o_O if you made a mistake when posting, correct yourself, don't blame people for misunderstanding you.

Also, as to the speed of light, not only is it impossible to exceed it according to the theories of relativity, but it is actually meaningless to exceed it (just like you can't go slower than standing still). It's part of the definition of the space-time continuum. If it seems like an arbitrary "speed limit" to you, that's because our units of measurement of speed are arbitrary.

Re: Dissipation of light?

I know all about relativity, I just happen to go along with a theory that is is wrong. I did read up on relativity a long time ago and now you had to go and make me find it again. http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Physic...Relativity.htm

Re: Dissipation of light?

You can't travel faster than light directly because of E= mc^2/(1-v^2/c^2). The full equation, clearly stating that at C, something of mass would have INFINITE ENERGY! Thus it is impossible, end of argument.

This states nothing about string - warp - or any other form of movement where your velocity isn't actually exceeding C. They've already broken the light barrier with massless particles moving them from A to B at about 300 times C. However, the particles did NOT move faster than C

Re: Dissipation of light?

light cannot pass through non porress object like lead and its is technically an element but in places like space were ther is no oxygen then light can pass indefinitly unless there is a black whole where it absorbs all of the light
so let me explane wat a black whole is


it starts when a star turns super nova and collapses from its own gravity instantly creating total darkness because it bends light and disperses it into a different dimension where it continues indefinatly so to answer your question i would have give a course of energy and antimatter dispersion through alternet diminsions so basically light countinues indefinantly

Re: Dissipation of light?

WOW.

I know that this guy is banned and probably won't ever see this, but that is some of the most uninformed drivel I've ever seen.

Anyone reading this thread, please just forget everything skyrunner posts. It's for your own good.

Re: Dissipation of light?

ok well i guess light never ends

Re: Dissipation of light?

After reading all of that my head hurts. This is like that question how can the universe go on forever. It just hurts to think about it.

so let me explane wat a black whole is

Whole!? bahahahaha Hole*
explane? explain maybe....
