    Are you sure?

    It always passes. It's just that the speed and direction fluctuate.

    no we dont...

    there are some aussie scientists working on some strange results they got back from studying quazars...

    if thier research is correct

    the speed of light is decreasing as time passes....

    so much for the theory of relativity and alot if physics rules in general...

    if the speed of light is not constant... how can we be sure our timekeeping is constant.. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    (Biggles, please duplicate this in the Zocalo, I'm sure there will be some followup to this )


    I'll try and find the newstory associated with this.

    Actually, speed of light doesn't need to be constant over time for relativity to mostly hold. It only needs to be relative over velocity and any point in time.

    The speed of light is just another so called barrier to be broken as it was with the sound barrier.

    The main difference being that the light barrier wasn't discovered by accedentally breaking it. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    Actually thats not true. The sound barrier was known well before they broke it.

    Thank you, Yes they knew of the sound barrier for about 7yrs before they broke it.

    In fact, Chuck Yeager went up specifically [i]to[/i] break it.

    No we don't agree, or no time exists beyond our concept of it?

  • I might point out that we've been breaking the sound barrier for a few millenia now. Why did you think whips made so much noise?

    I read this article, It gos on to say that gravity is the fastest physical force in the univerce. Many times faster than light. I read it at [url="http://www.ldophin.org/gspeed.html"]www.ldophin.org/gspeed.html[/url]

    Very interesting reading, make a good argument for faster than light travel.

    There's a big difference between the tip of a whip going faster than sound and moving a person faster than sound. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Well I know this, if I were to experience the tip of a whip, I'd be moving faster than sound to get away from it... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
