Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[RED-DOG]

So if you were in a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, and you switched your lights on, what would happen?

You can't travel at the speed of light in a spaceship.

Aww! Why not?

Anything with a mass would need an infinite amount of energy to accelerate to the speed of light.  This would also mean that the object would have to have infinite mass as well.

How do you know that though? Space = no resistance, so even with a small motor, a spaceship would just continue to accelerate until it reached the speed of light, no?

No.

As an object increases in speed, its mass also increases. 

Now you're just pulling my pisser.

He'll have read it on Wiki, so must be true.

no, after you hit the speed of light you couldnt go any faster so if you were running at the speed of light and put more enegy into the vessel(whatever the vessel was) then that extra energy would go into increasing the mass of the vessel.

He's not, but if he pulled it really quickly it would increase in mass.

At trivial speeds (such as the ones we experience in our day to day lives, or even during a spaceship's re-entry into the earth's atmosphere), the effects are so small that they aren't important.  At high speeds (those approaching the speed of light) the effects become very evident.

Dunno why no one hasn't asked Tikay about the big bang - He must of been there.

Are these proven facts?

I was asleep at the time.

[bolt pp]

go read a book about e=mc2, it explains everything about this

I thought time didn't ex... Oh never mind.

Accepted scientific theories*.  They have been tested, and have been used to accurately predict phenomena suggesting that they are correct.  Like bolty said, read a book on e=mc2 and you'll find it fascinating.

I lent one to tikay, if he's read it you can borrow it next...

(*theory in a scientific sense, not the everyday usage of the word).

Is this some new boy band?

An incredibly good read, absolutely awesome.

That's not to say I accepted the notions it propogated. My mind is condiitioned always to ask the same question - "how do they know?".

They don't;  if they did it would be a theorem rather than a theory. Simples as Andrei would say.

Correct Ralph. But people believe it. Because it's in a book, see?
