Wow. This is a surprise. While I've been away this spoof of a post gets 43 comments. Posts about OWS activities get next to zilch.
The big bang is shit. The universe is not expanding from a central point for one.
Secondly, the speed of light is not a constant because the speed of time is not a constant due to time dilation so the red/blue shift is unreliable. DU!
Scientists are dumb.
You have a PHD in physics? Is that how you came about to refute the most widely approved theories?
What does such a grandiose yet generalized statement even mean? People that use the scientific method are dumb? So, who are smart, those that believe in magic?
Time dilation = Fact
Speed is measured by distance/time. If time changes, so does the speed even if velocity has not changed.
it's pretty straight forward.
Time only dilates if the speed changes. All objects traveling at the speed of light will be affected by exactly the same time dilation. In other words, time dilation is in direct relation with speed.
It's clear you have a very bad understanding of this formula.
Train is moving at 3,000,000 MPH. Now what is the speed of light with the object in motion as the source? What is the speed of light from that source when viewed from a static location? They cannot be the same, can they?
Thus time dilation. Thus the speed of light varies.
The speed of light is still constant. It doesn't change, at least from our corner of the universe.

Time dilates to accommodate that constant.
Exactly what I tried to explain to Richard! I think he never took a physic's class! Ah! I still remember taking advanced physics and going over Einstein's Theory during one whole semester. Hard, but fun!
They have on the other hand, found ways to slow it down, but it has never moved faster.

Now that's weird science.....................:).
Variable speed of light
Scientists Report Breaking The Speed Of Light, But Can It Be True?
That's not been proven. They've been having problems repeating the observation.
They will. We had fighters breaking the sound barrier in the Korean war before it was done intentionally. Give them time.
Here's the real deal.

In the interest of partisan politics/science. Reagan denied the US a sister accelerator.
Ain't that boogie a mess?
Well, there was real concern over the ability of the things to create black holes. There are still ongoing legal battles from people with this fear trying to shut them down. Also, not to be partisan, but the right has never been a crowd of intellectuals. Demographically speaking.
Reagan was anti science and didn't want to spend the money for such things, when giving it to his corporate buds was way more conducive to getting re-elected.
Good call
I hope you don't mean a good call on Reagan's part.
That decision has a direct correlation to why we are falling behind in science and particle psychics in particular.
No no, good call on your summery of motives behind the defunding.
The idea of Variable Speed of Light appears in ad hoc scientific theories which are not widely accepted. At this time, the General Theory of Relativity is widely regarded as the best theory and the speed of light is constant. If you base yourself on ad hoc theories, you'll find all kinds of funky stuff that's not necessarily true. Scientific theories are made before observations, it's best to regard those like the General Theory of Relativity as being more "correct" since they are backed up by A LOT of observational evidence.
As for your second link, breaking the Speed of Light has nothing to do with the Speed of Light being a constant. Some recent experiments show neutrinos going possibly faster than light. This is about the speed of something else, not photons! You're mixing two entirely different things.
The speed of light constant says you cannot go faster than the speed of light. That has now been disproved, rather obviously I might add. This does not change relativity. What it will change is some of the mystery in quantum physics. Relativity is sound. They way people less intelligent than Einstein apply it, is not so sound. Think about it. Scientists are working with concepts they barely grasp (concepts, not math) and are trying to advance science with that relationship to the ideas behind the math. Einstein has always been spot on, never doubt that.
No, those are two different things.
You need to review your physics. Even if I wasn't knowledgeable in physics your claims would be dubious because you talk with utmost certainly. Scientists never claims to know the absolute truth.
No, he was a human like others. He made a lot of mistakes, like wasting a huge part of his life with his dubious Cosmology Constant.
I'm done discussing this with you Richard. You obviously have too much to learn, and you can simply read the Internet if you want to learn more.
ECHO ; ECho ; Echo ; echo - she (Echo) fell in love with Narcissus, if you recall your Greek Legends !!!
Yours seems a familiar voice !! Or am I being "Off Topic" here too ?!
temet nosce ...
The constant is what says if you are moving at 4,000,000 MPH, than the speed of light for you is still 299,792,458 m/s No matter how fast you go, that will still be the speed of light. (Based on motion in a vacuum to eliminate density variations)
That is the constant. Thus, you cannot go faster than the speed of light.
Hawking Radiation can go faster than the speed of light, as can Cerenkov radiation.
You should discuss these issues in a physics forum for beginners.
Hawking has 0 working experiments. Thats why he is called theoretical physicist. He has had to recant his work at least once that I know of, after multiple publications.
Einstein was also a theoretical physicists and some of his work concerning the Cosmological Constant was also recanted. Does that mean that all his work is bogus and that we should throw it out?
Hint: Hawkins is not the only one to have worked on Hawking Radiation and it is a widely accepted solid theory with some observational evidence.
Dude, I'm done. Go discuss this on a physics forum for beginners.
Touché
Not only can they be the same, they are the same! That's what makes understanding the Theory of Relativity so difficult!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment
lol. Go tell your teacher that the speed of light on a moving object and the speed of light from a static location are the same. Be sure to look at his face while you tell him that.
Read the link I posted above. What are you talking about is exactly what confounded scientists for a long time, and the fact that Albert Einstein figured out how it's possible is one of the biggest achievements in modern scientific history.
I'm not going to debate this with you. It's stupid. The Speed of Light is a constant and there are tons of scientific papers, essays, and writings that explain why. No need to debate it here.
Read the links I just posted.
PS, Einstein is the only Hero I've ever had, in contrast to superman for most kids.
You sound like a tea party anti science, anti stem cell, anti evolution, anti big bang, rape confused republican.
Yes?
Disprove my scientific assertion.
Time dilation = Fact
Speed is measured by distance/time. If time changes, so does the speed even if velocity has not changed.
You can't even comprehend this shit. Bump off.
Is that a yes?
Are you rape confused like your compatriots Akin and Wilke? Do you believe in the magic uterus? LMFAO!
"scientists are dumb"? huh? yeah THAT's intelligent. You're not kiddin anyone with you're claims of being intelligent.
[Removed]
I suppose. but it cannot discern the difference of rape and non rape sperm as Akin, & Wilke claim.
But I know you know that. It is the self professed "intelligencia" RichK who supports junk science.
Peace
They are comin down hard on me today.!
[Removed]
Yeah I think the convention has gotten them riled up.
Bastards

It is said this may be the last time conservatives have a voting demographic that can win a presidential election.
Repub Sen L. Graham said "we are not creating enough angry white men" to compete in future elections.
We can only hope.

Time only dilates when speed changes.
Now your getting it. I like that you edited after realizing your error.
Ya, I realized my error, and I hope you realize yours. The problem with your understanding is that you think time can dilate however which way it wants, but, in fact, its dilates in a extremely tight relationship with speed making a constant out of the speed of light.
