Shuttle Traveles 18 Times Speed Of Light!
 

Hahaha, nice...

i dont get it

It's technically impossible, and very likely completely impossible as well. They meant "sound".

They meant sound. 18x the speed of light is a little to fast

welcome to last week!

Noooooo Hell no!!..

That's straight from CNN..

That shuttle airplane thing is a quick ass sumbitch...

okay, The speed of light is normally rounded to 300 000 kilometers per second or 186 000 miles per second. multiply that by 18.

It's a great fuck up that is for sure.

if they were traveling at 18 times the speed of light - they would actually go back in time

what the???
I think the theory is that if you travel 5 years at the speed of light... you'll only age 3 years....

No back in time involve here!

It was going at Lightspeed!!!!

Um, this is old news people - Wasn't this posted on GFY last week?

can you prove this?

It works in math that if you leave here at the speed of light, when you return it will be the future. Dont ask me to write the equation:winkwink:

it like time has its own speed - and 18 x Speed of Light is faster, so you kinda go into the future.

i know it souds weird but thats what they say on Sci-Trek etc.

If I leave this city today and come back in a year, it'll be a year in the future.

Boy are those two guys stupid!

Sorry it wasnt going at light speed...

The space shuttle runs between 17,000-22,000 mph which is a hell of a shot off of 186,000 MILES PER SECOND to reach light speed.

as you approach the speed of light, 'time' slows down relative to those moving slower than you.

the twin paradox

the one on the right looks like an SNL character :1orglaugh

TheDoc, you're a top sponsor, your sig can be 468x60 if you want.

It is a mathmatical equation done by albert enstein

Exactly. Who's got the pic?

Thanks Lensman, i'm good though. I don't need a super banner on posts to leave my mark :)

you know like in cartoons - they invent some shit that makes you move faster than light, and when someone is using in, it appears that everything i sstanding still - and that person can move really fast between these standing people and make al lot of things(like rob a bank), while they just stand there. time is frozen for him.

Here I found this dont ask me how it works.

Einstein once said "The relativistic analogy can be carried to its logical end. Since time begins to slow down with higher speeds,it can be shown that at the speed of light it stops totally and beyond that begins to run backwards! Similarly, matter having contracted more and more, ultimately vanishes. But Beyond the speed of light it is difficult to imagine negative matter with infinite mass.

proof of Einstein's theory as it pertains to the relativism of time, via atomic clock experiments:

My picture is better...

All I know is that Enstein said it was possible. I can read that 20x and still not fully understand it:glugglug

you know what a black hole is ? its when a star explodes, it creates so much pressure that it actually doesnt expand in a huge fireball - it makes itself contract because of all the pressue, It contracts to a tiny point, and then it folds on itself sending all the star mass into some other dimention, and then it starts to suck everything that is near into that "other diension" and it grows.


so i guess time can run backwards too.

speed o light is something like 168,000 miles per second..kinda speedy

Speed > Quality

Just like sex.

Yeah, it has something to do with gravity. A star first becomes what they call "dark matter" which a spoon full of dark matter can be many tons in weight. If the conditions are right it implodes causing a black hole. Gravity so strong light cant escape.
That space shit is interesting. Imagine the things that we dont know about it.

did they ever try to send something with a camera in one of those?

It will crush it. Black holes take matter and crush it smaller and smaller forever and ever. As far as we know anyways

Yep.. that's just how I would have explained it.. :)

waht if its a super micro one, it'll last a few minutes, but just to get an understanding of it?

Hello? Was a fuckup by CNN. Shuttle travels at 18x the speed of SOUND.

I dont think the size will matter, it will still crush it. I think they understand how they work. But the laws of phyiscs are broken. I am not no blackhole expert but If I can recall that is what the understanding was.

yeah right. CNN never lies.

dude, black holes are invisible.

light doesnt reflect off black holes. they pull the light beams in, and they never escape. so black holes cant be seen.


and even if the could get the camera near, it would be sucked and it would just dissappear. just like that, disappear into nothingness.


black holes can swallow whole planes into them. they can swallow huge stars. planes just disappear in some other dimension and never come back.

i wanna go into another dimension

I came pretty close. It involved about 10 doses of lysergic acid.:1orglaugh

Piss your wife off PMS'ing!!!
More then one demensional, multi-demensional and with phases!!!!

ahahahahah :1orglaugh

I will have to pass on that trip:glugglug

A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for anything not even light to escape its gravitational pull.

The gravitation pull of a black hole is bigger than the speed of light and since nothing is bigger than the speed of light nothing can escape a black hole it will be sucked back in.

When you get close to a black hole you will start to be ripped apart since the pull "tidal forces" starts to effect the parts of your body that are closest to the black hole first and you will start to "stretch" and eventually be ripped a part to pieces.

This will happen to everything that goes into a black hole.

dude, you can't be that dumb
you'd have a better chance flying a camera into the middle of the sun

Who gives a fuck about speed of anything... the real discussion here shold be about what type of asshole sits in front of their tv watching cnn taking pictures.
