but whatever
 

i dunno, why wouldn't the speed of light be constant? I don't see any reason as to why light would accelerate in its motion, but then again i know next to nothing about quantam physics (im only in the 10th grade)

So what, I'm just in 11th. (I'm actually your age, but I skipped a grade.) I managed to learn and become fascinated by these things at a very young age, so if you want to be knowledgeable in this area it's not too late.

Peace,
Jerry

my politics is your physics
 

im far more advanced in political studies, but science has always interested me.
too bad im in bio (i hate life sciences)

Yeah, I'm also into politics and the like. I love histoy. I'm not into physics that much (The only reason I think is bec. I hate mathematics with a bitter passion), but i have "a brief history of time" several times. It must be my love of science fiction. As C. Harry mentioned in that other forum, their are two theories that disprove the time paradox theory. For the theory about not being able to change the past no matter what you do, I suggest you read "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed" I forgot the auther, but this story is a prime example of the theory, it is quite amusing as well. If you are into the parallel universe theory (most physicists preffer the former) Their is a star trek tng episodes called "parallels" that illustrates this theory nicely, although it only addresses the parallel universe aspect and not how it would stop a paradox.

Quantum, applied and pure physic's ????

I don't know, what's happening to the youth of today?

Whatever happened to "Sex, drug's and rock 'n roll? I mean, these bloody kids will be discussing all that "trendy claptrap" like molecular biology, theology and philosophy next!

enjoy.

Hey, ChasidishHarry,

If you're the science buff that you seem to be, you should read the book Hyperspace by Dr. Michio Kaku. Dr. Kaku is a theoretical physicist who teaches at the City University of New York. The book deals primarily with what's called the Grand Unifying Theory (or Superstring Theory), in which all matter in the universe can be catagorized as "notes" on "strings" vibrating in 10-dimensional hyperspace. It is an elegant theory that fuses classical Newtonian, quantum, and relativity theory into one central theory that explains the behavior of all matter in the universe. Those who are involved with superstring theory claim to be on the verge of reading the "mind of God" by explaining all matter in the universe as one equation in 10 dimensions. If you've got an open mind, it is a truly fascinating read.

I've heard of Dr. Kaku, and I've even studiedthe above theory a little bit, too, but I didn't know that he wrote a book. It's probably very interesting. Thank you for telling me.

WTF is E=MC2 ???

I don't know if you are serious or not, but

E=MC2 == Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared.

The math that made Einstein famous.
