trying to keep to my word, 1 post a day
okay this post is regarding a question Jon Soh asked me once, "when travelling at the speed of light, why does time slow down"
I stumbled upon this statement :
"the combined speed of any object's motion through space and it's motion though time is always precisely equal to the speed of light."
meaning (velocity X time= speed of light)
from this statement
1)as your velocity increases towards the speed of light, time being inversely proportional, slows down. So if you reach the speed of light, time stops.
2)And thats why you cant go beyond the speed of light, cause then time would be negative, meaning you'll go back in time
3)proves that time is infact, the 4th dimension
HOWEVER....the whole thing is flawed
1) only 1 website mentioned this formula
2) the deduction were formulated by me =)
3) okay i shall work this out, converting the famous e=mc^2 to that equation
*v=velocity
t=time
c=speed of light
a=acceleration
E=energy
m=mass
d=distance
F=force
/=divide
^=power
(velocity X time= speed of light)
vt=c
v/t=c/t^2 (divde both sides by t^2)
a=C/t^2 (v/t=a)
F/m=c/t^2(F=ma, A=F/m)
(mass-energy equivalence formula)
E=mc^2
Fd=mc^2 (work=forceXdistance)
F/m=C^2/d
c/t^2=c^2/d (both side=F/M)
C^2t^2=dc^2 (cross multiply)
C^2t^2=tc^2 (distance=time X speed)
As you can see, theres a missing t on the right side, there the equation is not balanced, so the whole thing is flawed..........hahaha see i need soccer to keep me away from doing stupid things like this =p
- oh ya!
SCHOOLLIFE...
