I dont belive in it. I dont see how you can transfer matter in the same order instanly through time. Nice concept for a story though
We can't observe anything near the circumstances needed to verify anything like what you are saying. When velocity equals the speed of light the Lorenz equation says time would reach a stand still. However, there's absolutely nothing to suggest there's a mechanism that would kick in after the freeze (it certainly isn't visible in a graph of the function). You very much "can" have a sqrt of a negative (just talk to an electrician), but we don't know how those numbers describe time (so nothing can be assumed). Talking about what happens at and above light speed (and assuming 'it goes backwards') is much more theoretical than negative energy and the like, at least we have good reason to believe it's there.Renzokuken said:Of course it does, even getting close to the speed of light, time dilates (Slows down), so then therefore, we can say that going faster than the speed of light would make you go back in time.
Also, with time dilation, it would be impossible to go faster than the speed of light, because as we said before, it pulls out a negative number, and you can't get the square root of a negative number. So it's impossible.
Don't particle accelerators speed up electrons to like 0.9c? (I'm just learning about them now)MacMan said:Accelerating an atom of hydrogen to half the speed of light and stopping it would take more energy than all of the energy in the visible universe. It's never going to happen.
Yes, but they just let them collide with each other instead of stopping them, like a train with no brakes.Renzokuken said:Don't particle accelerators speed up electrons to like 0.9c? (I'm just learning about them now)
it was a joke man geez i no it's not possibleXenoce said:Your idea on the "special clothing" is rather misguided. Photons have no mass, , and don't push anything but electrons. The most concentrated beam of light in the universe would do nothing to any sort of clothing but burn it very very quickly. It does not matter what the clothing is made out of.
Sorry about that. I think it's been stated that the net is far less effective then RL at conveying body posture/tone.it was a joke man geez i no it's not possible
I'd like to say this is wrong. It most definitely would not take nearly all the energy in the universe. It takes more energy to accelerate it to .9c then to stop if from .5c.Accelerating an atom of hydrogen to half the speed of light and stopping it would take more energy than all of the energy in the visible universe.
