[quote][quote]I've said it before in a thread on this very site. It isn't that hard to understand really...

1) Light has mass.

Gravity can only pull on things that have mass. Gravity can pull and bend light...ergo light must have mass. But here's the problem I have with that. Force equals mass times accelleration, and that SHOULD cause an issue. I'll give you an example...You go home to a dark house late at night, turn on the lights in your living room...and you still have a living room.

Don't know... I think because Newtonian gravity needs both bodies to have mass for one to affected by the other and the distortion theory doesn't...
I still have a lot to learn on this... Good thing I'm taking a physics engineering course!  ;D

Can't break the speed of light? They've clearly never seen me on the A41 armed with a Kawasaki ;D ;D ;D

Correct on many things Groundbound1.

My pet theory is that when you exceed the speed of light, you cross the dimensional barrier and are no longer in this dimension. At least until you slow back down below the speed of light,

at which time you cross the barrier again, back into this dimension. The only question I have, is how many dimensions are there, and how to change places with myself in the one where

I am rich and good looking? ::)

black holes are usually quite small, have an absolutely HUGE mass, and have such a strong gravitational pull that light cannot escape.

Club508, I glad to see you take an interest! (I'm really impressed) Backtrack a little, and read what I wrote again, begining to end, then read what you wrote.

Keep in mind two very important points:
1) I don't by any stretch of the imagination have all the answers. This is a very ROUGH theory, nothing more.

2)You have to let go a little, and stop accepting what Michio Kaku says as fact. Not to disrespect or discredit him in the least, but he is just like any other theoretical physicist, a master of assumptions and educated guesses.

de, weren't directed at you Club, it just looks that way because of the way I kept editing my post.  Sorry for that confusion.

Eh, No problem.  I end up editing about 1/2 my posts once I post them. :D


"Science geek"? Hell I just go by nerd. :)

Same here. :)
Although we might want to stop quoting each other.

lso remember as you approach the speed of light the drag becomes phenomenal. Take it this way. A Bugatti Veyron needs only 250hp to get to 150 mph, But needs 1000 hp to get to 250 mph. light travels at 670,615,200 mph which is, Allot :o I might be doing my maths wrong though :-/.
But anyway:
That drag and weight combined could be fatal. But what ever we do, We'll never escape a black hole :). Eats even light

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Aye, Scottie, but we may not looking at the correct law book even if this one's repealed.

Oh, Club. You and I really are developing into 2 peas in a pod. Now we both like physics.
And Gitrob can you also help me? I'm also really interested in physics but I really need someone good to help me.
Will an emergency box of ExLax help?

Ooh, a discussion about quantum physics!
It's nice to know that there are some fellow nerds on SimV! :)

Oh my, even more connections between me and hyperprep!

And I never would have noticed there were as many fellow nerds/geeks on here. :)

And I never imagined I would see an intelligent conversation here on SimV ;D ;D.
Guess I was wrong ::).
But good to see that you can even study here ;D

[edit]Oh and Crub You spelled my name wrong ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D :D[/edit]
