They can't have someone pointing to chinks in the armor.
Also for the record: Political posts have been out of fashion pretty much all winter, and Rockpage dwindled to a few posts per day. Look at the hit-counts now.
Einstein was right again! Space-Time vortex...
Relative to the thread topic. I love this stuff too. I work for a couple of physics professors from Penn State main campus and we've had some deep talks.
Light is the only constant. Time, as you know, is affected by mass, time space are warped by mass. That causes gravity. We are not actually puled down to earth by gravity but sort of pressed down by the time space warpage.
I always wondered that if light traveled faster than 186, 000 miles per second, could it become mass ? Could the Big Bang (which was actually
silent because there was no air) have been caused by a sudden increase in the speed of a light source ?
Anyhow, love the topic...

Believe it or not the day they sucessfully collided the beams in the Large Hadron Collider I was chatting online with a CERN physicist. He sent me pics of the party they had.KeithReynolds wrote:I wish I had done something much better with my life. I wouldve loved to have been working at CERN or something.
Btw Hawk, great way to summarize the time-space warp and gravity.
I hope more people read that and get it.
I love this topic too!
