Time is "relative". Yes, you have your own "clock", but so does everyone else.

Your "clock" will always tick at the same rate relative to you. Your biological processes will revolve around your clock.

However, the clocks of others don't always tick at the same rate as your clock. The difference in the tick rates has to do with the relative velocity between your clock and another clock. The faster the clocks are moving, the more out of sync the clocks get. And the more fucked up shit becomes.

Shit can get so fucked up that it causes an "apparent time travel situation". Example: say "5 year" went by on your clock, but is was moving at some great speed away from the earth so "100 years" has gone by on the "earths clock". Hence, it will appear to you as if you time travel to the "future of earth". It will appear to the earth as if you were going in slow motion for 100 years, then suddenly returned to normal speed.

Get it?

>Possible to study astronomy with little to no experience in physics

Nope. Astronomy is pretty much just a branch of physics. It is taught that way at many universities, with most classes overlapping (at least at undergrad level).

In most of the world, yes. In america, no.

Republicans are actually openingly encouraging ignorance in america now. They literally want there children to be less educated then them.

Steps to make america great again

1) EDUCATE YOUR FUCKING PEOPLE

2) Repeat 1) as much as you fucking have to

All the problems you have/will have can be easily fixed with a smarter population, making better decisions. No more of this unintellectual, faux news, republican, anti-science, religious fundementalist bullshit.

Seriously, they average american doesnt even know the difference between basic political ideologies like "fascism" and "communism"? WTF? All they are taught is that "capatilism is king", and everything else is "muslim fascist atheist nazi evil". That is what your NEWS MEDIA TELLS YOUR PEOPLE! And you wonder why your country is going to shit.

>religion proved wrong

Religion has been proved wrong since fucking forever. 2000+ years at least.

I AM FUCKING AMAZED THAT MANY OF YALL HAVE NOT HEARD OF THESE GORILLAZ/APES/ECT.

DO YALL LIVE UNDER A FUCKING ROCK? THIS SHIT IS NOT NEW. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST THE FUCKING 1970's!

Do you even understand quantized angular mometum?

You ask all these concepts that are way over your head. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS of quantized angular mometum to understand spin and the enganglment shit.

>you are the only man on the planet

I would Hide.
If you were the only man on the planet, you would be enslaved by the women...DURRRR. In all reality you would be forced to bred, almost non-stop, as well as having constant neddles suck in your balls to extract semen.

SHIT WOULD SUCK!

>The more massive an object is, the more charge it will exchange, exerting force on other units, ie. objects, which manifests as gravity.

This is incorrect. Nice try kid, but you are wrong.

>Interaction with what? Other particles?

Yes

>Schroedinger's cat dead because he interacted with the box?

Yes, the whole system was already interacted countless times with countless things, and the "wavefuntion" for the cat is already well collpased, before humans even need to look at it.

"Schodingers cat" is a analogy why quatum phenomia doenst work on the macrosclae in general (TOO MUCH INTERACTION HAS OCCURED).

1) Research if your idea has already been though of, or tried before. This may require months of extensive work, as there is a huge scientifc community, with tons of ideas and theoies/papers out there already.

2) If (slim chance) you do have somthing new and groundbreaking. Write up your theory nice and proper

3) Go to your local bank, have your paper noterized. This will prove it is indeed your theory, if dispute ever arises.

4) Go to your local uni, meet with the smartest physics professor. School his ass!

5) Recieve honary doctorates for your awesomeness!

5) Funding and recongintion will fall into your lap!

6) You will get tons of job offers, you will head your own research team at some big fancy lab!

7) You start buldiing your machine, fully funded at the labatory of your choice, with the full backing of the scientific community, and a huge research team working under you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_light_in_non-inertial_reference_frames

If you look at any source that says "speed of light is constant (and limitied)", it is always mentioned to be "in the context of a intertial refrence frame ". The speed of light being connsat was for "Special Relativity".

Special relativity isnt first principle (it isnt fundemental). Special relativity is an appromimation (for certain cases of general relativity. Hence the speed of light being constant (and limited) only applies to these "special cases".

It doesn't apply to the "universe" on any large cosmological scale.

>Futurama writers can pull a theorem out of nowhere

LMFAO. The writer who did that shit holds a Phd in mathematics. FYI: Alot of writers for the simpsons and futurama hold advanced degrees in mathematics or physics.

I got a Wavetek DM27XT and two Mastech MAS830L. They are all ok, good enough for most 'at home' projects.

Nope

Spatial translation symmetery -> conservation of linear mometum

Spatial rotation symmetery -> conservation of angular mometum

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether's_theorem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_physics

You can have systems with conservation of angular momtum and no conservation of linear mometum, and visa versa

1) Causality only exists in systems with progressive "time". There are tons of systems where the concept of time is meaningless (no time), or time is fucked up (not progressive).

2) There is a minimal amount of reducibility for any system. Once this "reducibility" is reached, the notion of effetc/cause is meaningless. Ie, once I have only "one independent varible/concept", I cannot use "cause and effect" arguments to further probe the system. A system with only one independent varible/concept can not be used to explain itself, it must be taken as "first principle".

>No such thing as an absolute truth?

Nope, Absolute truth exists, it is a fucking fact!
This is basic logic 101 son. Let me enlighten you:

Say, P = "no absolute truth"
However, if P is true, then P is an absolute truth. Hence P => ~P. Hence P must be false.
Hence there must exist an absolute truth.

Any questions?

Actually that pictures makes perfect sense.
Darth Varder wanted to drink "cleaner" water, so he filtered it first, before he put it in his water jug. I do the same fucking thing!
