Re: Mathematic complexityTHAT is AWESOME "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #4 2005-05-02 23:21:13
Re: Mathematic complexityThe universe is in each corner, in each atom. The infinity is everywhere. Last edited by nitro4ce (2005-10-31 13:43:31) #5 2005-05-02 23:29:58
Re: Mathematic complexityYeah, the closer you look trying to find something solid to pick up, the smaller everthing seems to be. Let us hope the quark is as small as things get, but who knows?

Re: Mathematic complexityYou can say that the universe has infinite dimensions, because it is greater than any fixed counting number, or extending forever. No matter how large a number one thinks of, infinity is larger than it. Infinity has no limits. Last edited by nitro4ce (2005-05-02 23:45:29) #7 2005-05-03 00:12:05
Re: Mathematic complexityWhen you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity. #8 2005-05-03 03:01:59
Re: Mathematic complexityWhat about black holes? School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice? #9 2005-05-03 06:17:03
Re: Mathematic complexityThey are holes that are black. 'Tis not difficult I come back stronger than a powered-up Pac-Man I bought a large popcorn @ the cinema the other day, it was pretty big...some might even say it was "large #10 2005-05-03 08:35:28
Re: Mathematic complexityA Black Hole is so dense that its gravity holds light in. "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #11 2005-05-03 11:31:24
Re: Mathematic complexityBecause you can see the surrounding light and matter beeing attracted by it. You can see how things are affected by the black hole's gravity, but can't see it. #12 2005-05-03 11:33:42
Re: Mathematic complexityI mean, if light is attracted by black hole´s gravity, why can´t you go faster than light? #13 2005-05-04 01:31:40
Re: Mathematic complexityI thought there was something about time being slower when you were sitting on the edge of a black hole (presuming you could)....was that just rubbish?

Re: Mathematic complexityI think that if you got sucked into a black hole and survived, you would go back in time or something, that's my theory. HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY #15 2005-05-04 07:57:15
Re: Mathematic complexityYes, but are not able to survive, because a black hole has an amazing des¡nsity (a lot of mass in a short amount of volume), so you might desinteger. #16 2005-05-05 01:39:55
Re: Mathematic complexityThis is getting very interesting. School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice? #17 2005-05-05 08:26:55
Re: Mathematic complexityThe density of a Neutron Star (which is not as dense as a Black Hole) is so high, that one teaspoonful of it would weigh about 100 billion kilograms, or more than 1,000 Titanics.

Re: Mathematic complexity
Speaking of which, what would happen if we were in a car travelling faster than the speed of light (yes, I KNOW it's impossible) and we switched on the headlights? School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice? #19 2005-05-08 20:53:04
Re: Mathematic complexityWell, from the car's perspective (ie as a passenger) you should see the headlights beam cast forward, I think. But an onlooker would not, or something, I think. ... umm ... I wish Einstein were here! "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #20 2005-05-09 02:18:46
Re: Mathematic complexityMy theory is that since the car is faster than the light, the light wouldn't be able to keep up once it erupts from the bulbs (but keep travelling in the direction of the car) and simply fall back, so the car would create a trail of light like a comet.

Re: Mathematic complexityWow, cool car!! Wouldn't want to get in its way ... could the driver see forward? What would he see? What was behind him? "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #22 2005-05-09 08:06:06
Re: Mathematic complexityHey, Rora, you have had a make-over (new butterfly!). Nice. "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #23 2005-05-09 20:26:43

Re: Mathematic complexityWhoaa ... cool illustration! "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #25 2005-05-10 01:02:46
Re: Mathematic complexityWhen you say "time," what do you mean? I understand how space can be dragged into a hole, but I don't understand how time, the thing that passes us for ever, can. School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice? |
