RE: The neutron darkness in a bottle (and a beam)
Thanks for your pretty longish comment. Let me try to answer your questions, or at least try to give some hints about them.
i personally always understood that einstein never claimed you can not go faster than light with anything but a massless photon (well that would be the actual speed of light) but in fact all you would need is an infinite amount of energy to propel anything that hass mass to lightspeed but everywhere i read "its not possible" ... despite the fact that this relates to observation ... if you're reading this, any thoughts ?
Special relativity tells us that nothing can go faster than light. Nothing. End of the story. Massless particles are those traveling exactly at the speed of light, and the massive ones are slower. You can accelerate (i.e. by providing energy) a massive body as much as you can, and you will get closer and closer to the speed of light without reaching it. Like 99.999999999999999% of the speed of light.
Also, i have been looking for years on a gedanken related to sustainability (i can grasp concepts easily sometimes but im not quite the numbers guy : IF it comes to that point, the actual point of no return. How many humans on average would it take for all molecules / atoms on this planet to be turned into sapients due to incessant breeding and overpopulation. Since its a limited number at some point everything will be used up (i do understand this would mean the death of all organic life way before that but its a thought more like, one i can not calculate myself) .... anyone ? (if anyone still reads this this far below)
Well, this I don't know. It depends on the yearly resources of our planet I guess, which is an information I don't have.
i'll try to keep an eye out ... an interface where you can sort people in tabs by subject or interest would be nice too, sorting in circles or venn-diagrams even better, alas at the moment i could barely code a hello world so im afraid i cant get to that either
You can start joining us (steemstem) on discord and chat with us. Maybe will we be able to help you finding what you are looking for :)
Once again, thanks for your comment! :)
thank you, maybe its time i looked into discord after all :)
it is never too late :)
considering entropy in systems with the arrow of time strictly pointing forward i'd say that could be open to debate but i doubt i could hold my own against an actual particle physicist ... its a wonderful world, like the new magic of the teknomage lol, it takes quite some imagination to get around the end of 1 and 0 to the potentially everything between for one thing and other than that im not really the numbers guy ... too much chaos inhere, i hope you don't mind if i fire some questions your way sometime, ive been looking for someone well versed in the subject with an interest and patience to empower the layman...i'll try not to overdo it but when it starts nagging at my head its sometimes hard until i get some general idea .... (im probably less weird than i sound and certainly behave better than an unobserved particle ... in most cases)
thank you for the actual interaction so far![tu.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSjXFfRpvp5cGqQcfmUTdMpZzQnnDN9DFfDRmnVfcML7s/tu.png)
Don't hesitate to ask questions. Never. I don't say I will answer immediately (depends on the question) but I will always try to say something, and maybe discuss the question later in a dedicated post if necessary (this happened already 4-5 times since I am on Steem).
oh i wont , straightforward is sometimes a problem for me, lol, seeing as i dont actually have any paper degree some people think that means i should shut up but i'm not really in the business of shutting up hahah. It's refreshing to find someone who actually knows their stuff AND is willing to spare time for mere mortals
The fact of not having any degree is a good reason for not shutting up and speaking! In fact, no one should never restrain himself/herself from asking a question.
At least, I am always available (and if not, I find a suitable moment later). And I actually a bunch of people who are too. But this is country and mentality dependent of course.
i couldn't agree more :) shutting up has never been my forté anyway hahah
This is a nice quality, IMO ^^
