    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    Heh, don't babble to me about what I'm denying and what I'm accepting. In the end, you are right though. :biggrin: Time contraction is also an illusion. Time only seems slower at high velocities, because our eyes can't measure things as fast as it can moving at non-relativistic speeds...

    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    Silly Tom! Ok, maybe you were not saying what I thought. All-in-all length contraction is an illusion. Refer to the barn example that bino threw out. The bar up close appears to be normal size, but when you inch away from it, it appears to get smaller. It looses measurement off of height...

    Do 3 electron bonds really exist?

    Haha, it's been awhile since I've done bond structures. I haven't had chem since summer started. If I'm not mistaken the sigma bond is the primary bond between two atoms, and the pi bonds are the bonds after that. The sigma bond and pi bonds will have 2 electrons each. You have one sigma...

    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    I wasn't even talking about contraction. Nowhere in there did i mention Lorentz transformation. I was talking about emission and absorption of photons and that's strictly it.

    Do 3 electron bonds really exist?

    I can give you an example, but no explanation. Sorry for not being sufficient in my response. H:C:::C:H The triple bond is present between the two carbon atoms. Each carbon has four valence electrons, so it is able to bond with four different atoms. Since each carbon is bonded to a...

    Why do Mercury and our Moon not spin?

    If I have not been mistaken, I thought we always saw one side of the moon at all times. We have never seen the other half of the moon. Wouldn't this imply that the moon does not spin? If the moon did spin, I'm sure it would be noticeable.

    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    Heh, first year physics. :redface: You use index of refraction in Snell's law to find the angle at which light is bent, right? This can also be interpreted as the angle at which light is absorbed and emitted from the old medium to the new medium? Hehe, Tom, you cease to amaze me...

    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    Yea, LaTeX messed up I guess. I can't see it either.

    What Connects Mass, Energy, and Time Translations?

    I see him asking this: What composes mass? The relation between mass and energy is not valid to answer that question. Mass is a condensed form of energy and not a composition of mass.

    Does Gravity Expand and Collapse or is it Always Present?

    Gravity, as proposed by Einstein, travels at the speed of light. Put a planet in betweent he apples, and the gravity will travel in ripples until reaching it's destination. If you remove the planet, I must ask the question, "Are the apples on the planet?" If so, then the affects of removing...

    What Connects Mass, Energy, and Time Translations?

    Scientist are unable to explain why mass is here.

    Can the Speed of Light Be Changed and What Does It Mean for Space Exploration?

    So, in other words, when measuring the density of emission and absorption, the amount of time should be included. How can that factor be determined? Or maybe you're wrong. Just because opinions contradict with the standard model, doesn't make them wrong. You are unable to use the standard...
