"Because of relativity, time stands still for a bream of light."

Explain.

Hey /sci/, is the following true?

If you move in space in relation to someone else, you also move slower in time in relation to them, because the speed of light is constant for all observers.

Therefore, if you started moving at the speed of light, you'd be frozen in time until the end of the universe, never actually getting anywhere.

Am I getting it right?

There is no chance.
It is either going to happen or not happen.

God does not play dice with the Universe.

no thread w/o this guy :D

SMS disproves theory of relativity, WHAT NOW EINSTEIN?

And according to Einstein, SHUT THE HELL UP DESCARTES

The FUCK you say? Sorry, I can't hear you over all the real science that I am doing. Oh, and nice hair style fag.

Peace out bitch

Yes, scientifically speaking you should attempt communication with any diety, even the devil.

So, what's it like being a physicist? Can anyone give me a brief description of the lifestyle?

I work at CERN you dumbfuck!

Inspired by the cardiac arrest thread, I decided to do something similar for special relativity.

Please, ask me a question on special relativity!

How can you not believe in God when someone much smarter than yourselves, Einstein himself, was a Christian?

Who's on your list, /sci/?
Criteria: 1) Importance of work, but not from a technological standpoint; 2) Intellectual depth of work; 3) Originality and novelty of work.
Note: In order to be considered, the scientist in question must have published her/his work primarily or exclusively during the twentieth century.

1. A. Einstein
2. L. Pauling
3. N. Bohr
4. R. Feynman
T5. F. Crick, J. Watson

Picture very related.

Well, just becuase we may never know everything, doesn't mean we can't know some very important things.


Your logic is flawed

If quantum physics is any indicating of how the universe and time and space really works [and let's remember: quantum physics has a proven track record of making awfully accurate predictions] there is no such thing as an absolute, linearly-moving, time that unfolds reality through space, from past to present. That's right, you've all heard time is relative. But don't stop there. Time is a fucking illusion and so is free will. Every moment you have or ever will experience has always existed in the multiverse. Time is simply the direction by which our consciousness experiences itself, *randomly, stochastically, entropically* traveling from this 'now' to that 'now' through the infinite number of all possible eventualities of all possible universes, that are always there, as potential probabilities. Consciousness causes collapse, a condensation of all physical possibilities into a single occurrence as seen by the observer. Our personal consciousness is just that single timeline moving though this infinite sprawling network of all possible universes.

Modern Quantum Mechanics - J. Sakurai

is the standard QM book, this isnt intro quantum. This is real Quantum, you will need to read and understand the whole book, if you want to be good at partcile physics (you will need alot of the stuff in there)

Is "Asperger's Syndrome" just a way for society to except that some people are just better than them?

I mean, they put the name on Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Bill Gates, Thomas Edison, Michael Jackson, Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Beethoven, Vincent van Gogh, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and countless others.

It'd be fine except they call it a syndrome / disorder.

This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.
