A "Words to live by" thread.........again.

Thursday, February 6, 2003 by UBoB | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'll start this off again....

"You may be only one person in the entire world, but if you're really lucky you might be the entire world to one person."


.....now, follow this example, and please keep it nice.

When I was in high school they taught us
that one pot joint was worse for your body
than a whole pack of cigarettes.
Were they lying then, now, or then and now?

Evidence for evolution was created and left
on earth by extraterrestrials to fool us
while aliens control everything that
happens on earth for their TV show
"sex and war".

One thing that sobriety will help you with
is realizing that different people have different
connection speeds when watching videos on the Internet.
Videos having a connection speed setting allow users
to manually select a speed thus facilitating their
ability to actually watch a video.
With out this setting you might as well be on dial up.
Some are to young to have experienced dial up.
I would name names but I don't want to embarrass you.

Photons Leave a star on the other side of the universe
traveling at the speed of light.
The Photons arrive at earth and from their perspective
no time has passed and no distance has been traveled.
Why then when you detect them with your telescope
did their focal point change and you detect great distance
to the star they came from?

Lets say you have a ship that could go faster than the
speed of light and take you to a nice planet
on the other side of our galaxy in a short period
of time.
How many of you would leave Earth?
Now you know why they tell you that you
can't go faster than light.

You are in a space ship that has left mars and
is returning to earth. NASA sends a radio broadcast from earth
toward and on a parallel path to you. Using an accurate clock
NASA broadcasts for exactly 2 minutes. You receive the broadcast
on your ship and use an accurate clock to time the length of the broadcast.
Your ship is traveling 50,000 miles per hour.
Question 1
Using today's physics calculate the time the broadcast lasts
when received and timed by you on the space ship?
Question 2
How long does the broadcast last when received
and timed by you on the space ship during the real
experiment?

If the Special Theory of Relativity is correct.
If the universe expanded after a big bang at a
high rate of speed. If you look toward the other side
of the universe wouldn't the distant objects appear
to be getting further away from you as the expansion
of the universe slows down?

10 plus 2 equals 12
Lets test this theory in the [real world].
You have 10 marbles of differing sizes in your pocket.
You go for a 15 minute walk. While walking
you find 2 marbles on the ground and pick
them up and put them in your pocket.
When you return home you move your marbles
to a box and count your marbles.
You count 5 marbles.
[10 plus 2 equals 5]
You also find 1 hole in your pocket.

And one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest."

Someone said something like this.

What sounds more illogical and impossible?
Pluto orbiting earth in about 25 hours and traveling
faster than light while orbiting earth.
Or.
Observing the length of the known universe
shrink to 1 billion miles.

After contemplating this question you may
need a shrink.

Welcome to today's meeting of relativity anonymous.
We will be taking a trip on a universal space lines tour ship.
Find a seat under the bubble canopy for best viewing.
Get out your mirror and put on your seat belt.
The hatch is closed and we are on our way.
We are leaving the solar system and making a big turn
for some sight seeing. We are passing Voyager 1 on our way back
to earth for a fly by. As we pass Voyager 1 we will decelerate
to 99% of the speed of light so we can fly by earth and observe the effects
of special relativity. Earth is coming up on our upper left don't blink.
We will measure and observe earth during our fly by. Notice the earth
is flat as a pancake just like our ancestors thought it was.
Now on our right side is an object with infinite length, watch the
object contract in length as we accelerate. I would take us for another fly by of
earth but the sun just burned out. We will have to travel to my man made
vacation planet on the other side of the universe, ETA 5 minutes.
We will have some beverages waiting for you when we get there.
Do you like Jim Beam?

Acceleration,deceleration and gravity are forces you can feel.
I can believe large G forces would slow down a clock.
When a relatively large particle traveling at a high rate of speed in space
hits earth's atmosphere it would experience high G forces.
How many G forces would it experience in an accelerator?

Ever notice that after traveling a long distance
at varying speeds you are still right there
and everything else moved.

Ever wonder if gravity waves hit you in the eye?
How was your simulation today?
In level one you don't know about Level two and three.
If you jump to level three find level two, you can't go back to level one.

Here in your simulation The maximum speed you can reach is zero,
the maximum distance anything can move is the size of the frame of reference.
When objects move away from you they really only shrink in size.
The shrink rate can change appearing to give speed to an object.
Objects can move around in the frame of reference but you can't.
Only you really exist in your simulation. You can be moved to
another simulation at any time changing some rules in your simulation.
