If the earth travels 366 million miles around the sun in 365 days thats a million miles a day. Then why cant we even travel near the speed of light? I know the answer is in gravitational pull.

Everything moves at the speed of light.
he is right. but the question is then, in waht dimension
you may only respond with that answer if you have an adequit definition of a dimension![]()
Nonsense! complete nonsense statement.Originally Posted by Hermes
Freedom, Hermes, Zelos & Vroomfondel seem all to be right. Their statements inadvertantly or deliberately compliment and reinforce one another. Electrons orbit nuclei. Atoms and molecules oscillate. Asteroids and the moon orbit earth, earth orbits sun, sun is traveling toward the distant light source, Vega, Vega is traveling to and/or moving around FILL IN HERE. Fill In Here is traveling to and/or orbiting, etceteras... Andromeda is moving with the accelerating expansion of the Universe... The speed of light yesterday was not as fast as it is today, and, is slower today than it will be tomorrow... (Refer, the 4-D space-time continuum)
In all cases the speed of light - Celeritas Constant, is traveling at the same rate, relative to the system from which it originates. There is no infringement here on the law of the constancy - C - of light.
The speed of light varies with the size of the coordinate system from which it originates, relative to the coordinate system from which it is observed. Squared.
P.S. The answer is in gravitational push and pull.
(Everyone - certainly including Imaplanck - only humanly being entitled to their own opinion?)
Everything is impossible, but some things are more impossible than others.
Everything in the universe has a negative, positive, and a neutral charge. I believe that the answer may lay here.
the thing taht we travel with the speed C is nott nonesense. its true. in the dimension of time we travel with the speed C
Nothing with mass can travel speed -C-

This whole 'everything travels the speed of light' is just an out there postulate and is not a part of any accepted theory of modern physics.
C = 299,792,458 m/s
1/C = 1/299,792,458 s/m
how many seconds is then 1 meter? simply take that times 1 m
1 m = 1/299,792,458 seconds
so then in one second we travel 299,792,458 meters of space in the time dimension.
dear folks, remembre that transformation from time to space allways involve s the constant C
but in normal space its impossible to go at speed C. only time dimension allows C speed. read relativity.

Why do you think that the speed of light is increasing?Originally Posted by That Rascal Puff
I think that nothing in space moves at C and nothing in time moves at C, but that everything in space-time moves at C.Originally Posted by Zelos
things in time moves at speed C, if space exists. so ure right, but still a bit wrong. but mostly right
he thinks that because some new ideas claim C cahnges. and they are correct when it comes to casmir effect. else it would require magnetic parmeability and electric permativity of free space to change, maybe i took wrong thing with magnetic, if so just flip the word after magnetic and electric
The speed of light is slowing down CDK Not speeding up
thats in medium.
the casmir effect isa vaccum with a less zero-point energy and then when its more energy on the outside it creates prssure forcing the sides toghater when there shouldnt be a force or pressure. the idea is that this less energy density acctualy makes the constants even smaller, and then speed of light increase, but this havent been proven yet
I agree that this seems the most likely scenario.Originally Posted by freedom21
Hermes, I am deluding myself to think I am qualified to say "everything travels at c" is nonesense, I apolgize for being so brash(in retrospect I would say it is a somewhat valid interpretation), but having said that I would say I was justified to meet like with like.
I would say that at the end of the day I am more than qualified to say that using the afore mentioned statement to imply that modern physics only recognizes one speed and that the doctrine of 'nothing with rest mass can reach c' is irrelevent to modern physics is indeed erroneous though, and I would ask you to be so kind as not meet every relativistic type question with the blanket assertion that 'everything travels at c' - 'nuff said!' Frankly thats not accepted as modern physics.![]()
OKOriginally Posted by Imaplanck.
I am not sure exactly what you are suggesting, but it is clear that I do not agree. When space and time are considered separately, then I will accept your statement about nothing with zero rest mass moving at C. However, if we consider the context of space-time, as I am attempting, then I consider that this is quite valid. There is only one speed in the universe, which by no accident is the speed of light. However, space-time has a spatial and a temporal component, which leaves latitude in the relative proportion of each. Furthermore, I consider that your notion of rest mass is of limited value, as nothing can ever be at rest and without motion through space. If you disagree, please provide an example of something that can be considered to be completely at rest and devoid of motion with respect to the universe.I would say that at the end of the day I am more than qualified to say that using the afore mentioned statement to imply that modern physics only recognizes one speed and that the doctrine of 'nothing with rest mass can reach c' is irrelevent to modern physics is indeed erroneous though, and I would ask you to be so kind as not meet every relativistic type question with the blanket assertion that 'everything travels at c' - 'nuff said!'

Never mind.
I misread the point made.
Of course I dont disagree that anything can be at rest with regard to certain frames of reference i.e. the point of the bigbang, but it can indeed be at rest in regard to a frame of reference such as the room you are in right now. Therefor rest mass(please research the meaning) is indeed relevent.Originally Posted by Hermes

Wow. You think that since you have failed to convince people that your arguments are somehow superior, you are better off resorting to being extremely rude.

Any way my response was in light of this:

I dont care where he picked up this claptrap but the patronization hurts.you should read relativity. there u´ll learn that throu time dimension we are all moving at the speed of C

Never mind, try space-time:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime
I do not see how this supports your point. This site claims that space and time cannot be separated, and that their relationship is achieved by virtue of the speed of light. This is as I said, that the speed of light is constant in space-time. By this very definition, everything moves at the speed of light, with any differences being differencs in the relationship between the spatial and temporal components of this motion.Originally Posted by Imaplanck.
ure the idiot, im studiung relativity moronOriginally Posted by Imaplanck.
its throu spatial dimension u cnt move with C
temproal dimensions is different.
there goes C meters on one second of time, C*1 second = 299,792,458 meters
so when we travel 1 second throu time we acctualy also go 299,792,458 meter of space in the temporal dimension. so that would make it so that we go 299,792,458 meters of temporal distance on one second, 299,792,458 m/s

hahaha u just walked into a gigantic trap. now its obvius that you dont understand relativity. because in it you can measure time in spatial meters. they do that both to simplify and to make sense of their equations
so what IS relativity (i don't have a clue)
is it that everything has been build up out of energy?
no, its asying that everything is relative. there is no absolute time, no absolute motion and such. for me u can move 50m/s and for someone else 10 m/s. and thereofr do u have more mass/energy relative to me thanf or that guy, but relative to you its i who have more energy/mass. but it also says that time slows done as speed increase. for me ur clocks go slower, but for u its my clocks that go slower.
this is just very breif of special relativity, general takes in account for acceleration and gravity wich creates even more relativity
You know we can number everything and give everything a pretty equation, these are man made. When you do this though you limit your understanding to these equations and numbers. No matter how large or complex the equation or number is you have built a bigger box around you which makes it harder to look outside that box.

No! You walked into it long before, when you used the measurement of time to be literally a spatial measurement, not as theoretical maths.

hahahaha youre even going deeper into this trap. you can turn temporal measurments into spatial, logicly u can do the revers. I am sitting here, right now with several books of relativity. and all of them says the same thing.
1 seconds = 299 792 458 meters
1 meter = 1/299 792 458 seconds
when u use those units C becomes one and dimensionless. wich is easier to calculate with.
but i guess youre not used to more advanced physic

I'm not sure exactly what you are arguing about, but if it's that, then Imaplanck is certainly right. Nothing but massless particles can reach the speed of light. As massive particles move faster and faster, more energy is required to accelerate them further; the amount required would be infinite to accelerate a massive particle to the speed of light.Originally Posted by Imaplanck.
This is also why theoretical questions like "what happens if i shoot a laser from my light-speed traveling car" don't really make sense. It's not just beyond current technology, it's impossible.
hmm, i still believe in something to contain that effect..
like multi layer space shielding.. with every layer it takes less energy to accelerate. but to really achieve light speed you indeed need a lot of energy...
still sounds possible thought, because without friction all the energy we put in the craft will accelerate it..
well, something "sounding possible" has never been a good reason to think that it is. In this case it's certainly wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_units
this pages shows that time can be expressed as a spatial unit of meter.
i hope this makes u understand you have been wrong all the time, Imaplanck.In geometric units, every time interval is interpreted as the distance travelled by light during that given time interval. That is, one second is interpreted as one light second, so time has the geometric units of length. This is dimensionally consistent with the notion that, according to the kinematical laws of special relativity, time and distance are on an equal footing.
time can be expressed with spatial units, even weight can be expressed as meters. it simplefies alot of the equations.
as you can see, if you are not blind, you have been insulting people for bieng stupid when it in reality were you who was wrong all the time.
mass of sun: 1,5km

I have no desire to get into this arguement, but i would like to provide some math for you guys and see hwo you take it. Ill analyse it and see whos ideals it points to For this discussion, c will equal 1 (m=1/c seconds.)
The 4-vector of an objects velocity is defined as the vector whos spatial dimensions are 0 and its temporal dimension is 1 in its MCRF (Momentarily Comoving Reference Frame.) For a body moving at a uniform velocity, the MCRF is simply its inertial reference frame. Since this is a vector and it reperesents a the 4-velocity of the body, one could say that the body is moving in the temporal at a speed of 1, which is the speed of light. This means that everything moves at the speed of light in the temporal direction if it is looked at from its own reference frame. But the lorentz transforms tell us that the temporal dimension of an object will increase if it is observed from an inertial reference frame that is moving relative to the object. this means that as an object's velocity increases, its velocity will increase in the temporal direction also. The tranforms also tell us that as the spatial velocity approaches c, the temporal dimension will approach infinity. So as you approach the speed of light, one could say you are actually approaching "infinite velocity." Finaly, if you want to know how the temporal dimension matters, then you have to know that an object's velocity in the temporal multiplied by its rest mass is its energy.
Does this help?
(p.s.- I can cite references)
Not particularly, I think we've already established the use of the 4 vector maths, The question is 'can you physically move spatially in the time dimension'? and/or is the statement 'everything travels at c true'? or a naive interpretation.Originally Posted by Vroomfondel
it is impossible becuase if u begin going faster than the speed of light in normal space u´ll travel back nin time and end up at the big bang with alot of paradoxes as result. or u simply just die then.
y=1/sqr(1-v²/c²)
when v > c y is imaginary. things cant have imaginary energy
No. Units of measurement of distance, such as the meter or the second, can be used to measure distance/ velocity in the time dimension.Originally Posted by Imaplanck.
An easy way to think about this is to think of X and Y. No matter how far you move in the X direction, you will never make it anywhere in the Y direction. But you can use the same units of measurement for both of them.
This was answered by my description. Everything at rest moves at c in the temporal dimension, but as its velocity increases, its velocity in the temporal dimension will increase. As an object's spatial velocity approaches c, its velocity in the temporal dimension approaches infinity. This is explained by the fact that the velocity in the temporal dimension is proportional to its energy.Originally Posted by Imaplanck.
