Posts Now Demonstrating Relativistic Effects

In summary: Firstly, it's something that's always been on my to-do list, and secondly, it's something that I've been waiting for for a very long time.

On my browser, faster posts now have less length on the x-axis, <---->. Is this the same in your inertial frame?

I wouldn't know; I'm never inert.

I am not sure about that, but i have no colour or size and my smilies have to
be draged and droped, or am i missing some trick ?

I don't know. My posts have been smiley-free since 2003. I'm a member of Smilies Anonymous.

I am sitting here with a huge bag of M&Ms a substitute for rum and coke.

I conquored booze 25 years ago. That's why I have the stamina to resist smilies today.

You can try sorting them in alphabetical order.

Damn, I have a ROFL habit. With enough booze, I might just kick.

Yes, I've notice the same X axis aberration.

I normally have a long X axis, but not anymore, when I post quick.

I don't even know what you guys are talking about here? :confused: Maybe the upgrade only works best on Macs, so you all have to switch to Mac! :devil: :smile:

It is something about the shrinkage effect, Moonbear.
Only guys know about it.

Do I have to mention lengthy contractions?

I prefer timely dilations, but that's just me, I guess.

On my screen, your post, for instance, is half an inch wider than pattylou's just above you. Each post is a different width depending on how many words there are in it. As I scroll down a thread I can see all the different posts changing widths from one to the next.

It's TWINS! How paradoxical!

That's what is so strange.
I can see that GIRTH contraction is complementary to some timely dilation, but contraction of LENGTH??
I'll never understand relativity..:frown:

All I know is that it leads to a mass increase.

You remembered you password then.

No, I didn't.
Mass increase?
How exciting..

Well i measured mine and it stays at 260mm, may be you have ac problems.

I was still on about childbirth. In two respects it's very exciting indeed.
 

Related to Posts Now Demonstrating Relativistic Effects

1. What are relativistic effects?

Relativistic effects refer to the changes that occur in physical measurements and observations when objects move close to the speed of light. These effects are described by the theory of relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein.

2. How do posts demonstrate relativistic effects?

Posts, or posts on social media platforms, can demonstrate relativistic effects by showing how time, space, and mass can change as objects move at high speeds. For example, posts from astronauts on the International Space Station may show how time moves slower for them due to their high speeds relative to Earth.

3. What is the significance of observing relativistic effects?

Observing relativistic effects helps us better understand the nature of space, time, and gravity. It also has practical applications, such as in GPS technology, which takes into account the effects of relativity to provide accurate location data.

4. Are relativistic effects only observed at extreme speeds?

No, relativistic effects can be observed at any speed, but they become more significant as objects approach the speed of light. Even objects moving at everyday speeds, such as planes and cars, experience minute changes in time and space due to relativistic effects.

5. How does the theory of relativity impact our understanding of the universe?

The theory of relativity has revolutionized our understanding of the universe by providing a new framework for understanding the laws of physics. It has led to discoveries such as the relationship between mass and energy (E=mc^2) and the bending of light in the presence of massive objects, which have been confirmed by numerous experiments.
