Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / More relativity

« on: 26/08/2006 14:03:52 »

If I accelerate a body to near c velocity it flies away from me loops round a black hole and returns.
It is well estabished that it will have aged less that a similar body that has remained with me, now the question is the energy balance how many joules are reqired to make 1kg of matter one second younger and does this imply that the mere passing of time creates energy/mass

I think Nexus puts forward a sound argument for the non existence of gravitons but I believe there is adequate evidence for the existence of dark matter from light lensing observations as well as galatic rotation

I think the problem is mostly economic, gold miners are prepared to go down 3000 meters where the geothemal energy is only a nuisence not a useful source of power.
Close to the UK there is an abundent soucre of Geothermal power (Iceland) and I hope to see the day when it is exported to us via a superconduting cable but I do not know if the the cost will ever bejustified.

I have seen many UFO's that in the strict sense of the word were to me flying objects that were un-identifiable, so what!.
Why should I make the ludicrous assumption that they were visiters from outer space etc.

Two years ago I was lucky to get my first clear view of the night sky in the Australian outback (after 75 years), it was an awsome sight Venus was so bright it thru a distinct sharp shadow.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Gravity as an accelerating acceleration?

« on: 24/08/2006 19:35:30 »

when  I was at school we were taught a rather simplified form of Newtonian physics that said that an object shot up moved in and parabolic path until it returned to earth.
This of course would be true if the earth was flat and of infinite extent but it is not!
The path taken is of course eliptical albeit that one of the foci is within the earth.
as the velocity is increased both foci are outside the earth and the object is in orbit
I have never been able to get anyone to admit the path taken is other than parabolic.

I always thought that all units could be defined in terms of LMT raised to various powers, nothing else is needed or exists

The idea of the equator being horizontal seems fairly logical as it more or less aligns with the earths orbit around the sun, but of course if you lived on Uranus it would be a different story.

It is well established that the earth early in its history was in collision with a mars sized object (Mars?) that lead to the creation of our moon, could this be the seed of the magnetic field?

When we speak of light (photons) travelling in a vacuum what we are in fact observing is photons travelling through the dark matter with which our galaxy in enveloped.
Has any attempt been made to measure the speed between galaxies away from the dark matter.
Not to mention the sea of quantum particles/anti-particles neutrinos, Gravitons, and the 2.7°K CBR that fills space

I am in favour off not interfering with evolution let it take its course, If the 'greens' had been around 65 million years ago we would still be knee deep in dinosaurs.
