Starship Asterisk*

Not only are you dealing with Egyptian mythology, if the date on the paper can be believed, the material is over 100 years old. The fact they are talking about, is this: Quote Adjusting Dr. Schoch's recent weathering measurements from the base structure inside the Pyramid--by adding at least anothe...

Thanks For the replies Chris, And Neufer. Very interesting. So could we say that these changes could be much more apparent, say 5000 years ago? But these changes you referred to nuefer got me thinking, to another subject that interests me. And may be relative to this subject. How can the Sun go out?...

The sun converts hydrogen into helium at the rate of 450/600 million tons per second. It is losing Mass by 4.26 million tons per second. So is the 500 million tons going into its growth of helium, and this means the sun is growing at a steady rate per second? Would this loss of mass have any effects...

I think I read somewhere that some astronomers hypothezised that there might be some exotic life forms on Venus, which would of course be specially adapted to cope with the extreme conditions there. But who's to say that there aren't such life forms on Venus? We haven't proved that they aren't ther...

The paper and video is bogus and not close to consistent with GR. In fact, if "Physics 101" was all that's required (video) then GR is wrong. I say that because GR does not predict Allen's simple result. To think that a simple Newtonian integral over (all) time applies to a proven space-t...

Hmmm, Is it not a Vortex then?

Huh, Run that past me again.

You missed a few letters out of your equations . Here they are.

Wikipedia: Hubble's law

Top marks for spotting this little gem, bystander. You don't get something for nowt. Not in this universe.

Thanks

Give the New layout time. Post more questions on your Apods. The reaction to your latest question on Apod, Is there for all to see. :wink: Great Job All. Mark Since its been over 3 months, from when i posted this, The new asterisk is doing just great. And getting bigger everyday. Long may it contin...

He did not discover A comet. He predicted one.

Great read Thanks ta152ho

Good job we don't have to name roads after you, like they did with Halley. HuH

An interesting read. I wonder what else shape shifts, or disappears and reappears else where? Physicists spot shape-shifting neutrinos "PARIS: Scientists in Italy are 98% certain that they observed 'neutrino oscillation', a phenomenon that proves the mysterious sub-atomic particles have mass an...

Yet the whole universe is connected in a form of space time grid. What does that mean? Most of the Universe is not connected to the rest. Ah, Chris. The danger of illustrations. I've just tried to convince you that the Sun ins't yellow. Stubbornly, you have refused to acknowledge that I'm right. Ye...

Once again RJN, You have asked A question that grips my mind and gets me thinking. The End of your pole would reach 99.9999% the speed of light. And this is what your question made me think: If it was possible. If I were able to have a Gravity Pole, Would my Gravity pole also keep me at a relative s...

Where does the energy come from, That turns matter, no bigger or heavier than a Dollar bill, into Energy, That wiped out 100,000 people and flattened a city? Did Not that energy get created When the Atom was created? And when you split that atom, all that energy gets released? What other energy do ...

... However, when viewing objects such as hot top streets or brick sidewalks or even sand facing the sun works best. Does this particular effect tell me that partially absorbed/reflected light gets turned 90 degrees after striking the objects? Or is it the high-energy blue spectrum only that is bei...

Hey Chris, Did we not have this conversation about the color of stars a few months back? I told you then, That I thought suns, and stars should be the whole colors of the rainbow. And my reason for asking was Mass The heavier the star, the more color shifted it should be. This means that gravity and...

I feel that hurt. Uh... If you mean I offended you, I apologize, I wasn't trying to be patronizing. It's just that the idea of reference frames is pretty slippery. They're not intuitive, it takes a while to understand them, and it really pays to start with the simple cases. No need. If it was possi...

You should probably get a firm grip on Special Relativity before you try General.

I feel that hurt.

Never mind, maybe in another universe, they maybe have Hot Black Holes. Job done Yeah?

And just for the record, As i got closer and closer to the black hole, measured in light years, What would happen to my Body Clock? Would my body stop functioning, long before the Event Horizon?

Hawking radiation probably only means that infalling matter loses its energy to it and in the end of this epic process should be very cold (bye, bye, thermodynamics). I don't follow your reasoning, but the final stages of evaporation of a black hole are very hot. the reasoning: imagine BH in your &...

Made me laugh that did. I'm not chewing honestly.

For those of you, who want to read up. And try to understand this thread.

Hi, RJN

If I remember correctly, I Think it is both, An interference pattern and No interference pattern. And the simple act of watching the experiment makes all the difference. But I do not understand why.

If i am speeding at light speed, my time stays the same. yet out side my space craft, generations of my family are living there lives and dieing, in the minutes i am experiencing. if My space craft is orbiting a super massive black hole, my 5 years of time becomes ten years on earth. Yes. That's as...

I don't know what "stretchy space time" is, but I don't think it has anything to do with what I'm talking about. Asking "what time is it" anyplace is generally a meaningless question. All you can say is that time flows differently between different reference frames . There is no...
