What is the Ultimate Velocity? by Andrew Miller

I also mentioned larger speed of light in my essay by a few sentences. By I do not change special relativity theory, because general relativity almost allows larger speed of light by using wormholes. But we do not know, how it is in quantum gravity, and we cannot exclude these quantum wormholes.

So a principle is 1. c is constant, 2. space can be curved and (maybe) arbitrarily curved. This means the same effect as v>c.

Sorry, i am unable to follow the impact your response. in my comment i am talking of non-homogeneity in space curved, rolled or whatever.Homogeneity sets the limiting value of velocity to c.

i still await the response. However, i feel that i may mention an experimental measurement reported from the large aperture,array radiotelescopes set up in Australia to look for distant galaxies/interstyeller objects. It showed the velocity of light signals coming from a 12 billion years away object was distictly higher than the value of c so established. Also measurements of e/m made on such objects using spectral lines showed deviations from 'establishes' values. i personally expect the early universe to posess such characteristics as the situation than was too violent in many ways and today's Physics did not take such factors into account. i expect changes in the values of all the physical constants we talk about today, including the Planck's constant h, which i expect had a lower value than worked out by us today! I even suggest in relation to the essay of Tajinder on this website that mesoscopic region amy well have existed in the early universe. Such accurate studies in cosmology may be persued with enhanced precision, instead of huge cost experiments being attempted at LHC in geneva and another machine near Chicago.

Worth much more, so have rated you much higher.

I do believe in the constancy of 'c', but also that there are ways.. - have a look at my offering 'Perfect Symmetry. (and rate it if you feel generous). You may well find the posts informative too. A field moving within a field (AE's 52 proposition) may allow relative superluminal motion.

Best of luck

Time is a concept by man but it is used to describe the change of state of a system. So taking a subset of the universe that is a box, if the box is at 0 K and all particles that have mass within the box is completely frozen, then time is not passing in its frame of reference. Of course assuming there is constant change outside of that system, something outside can disturb the box and set it in motion again. So if the universe was frozen, then time would effectively be frozen. But if the universe is the only set in existence then that means if it were frozen, it would never be unfrozen without outside interference. Obviously the universe is not frozen, so all measurements of time is with respect to the constant change of the universe.

When you travel closer to the speed of light it requires more energy to increase your velocity the same amount when you were stationary. So given that the limited amount of energy you started with, as you move closer to the speed of light you have less energy in your body to set your atoms in motion at the same speed relative to stationary. The particles in your frame of reference are slowed down. However from your humanly perception you will not notice a change because your brain is moving at a relatively slow speed too. So given the example of a clock, the clock now only has the enough energy to move at an extremely slow rate. But with all particles of mass slowed down, then for all intents and purposes time has slowed down. Remember we defined time as the change in state. If there is no change, no time has passed.

So in effect time is dilated in that for all intents and purposes there is a proportional difference in the actions of a clock at .99c with respect to a clock at rest.

If there are any experienced physicists who would like to correct anything I said, please, do so because I pulled that out of my butt with limited knowledge of relativity.

You are incorrect in your scale example, I did not read further assuming it invalidates the rest of the paper and being short on time, so if you covered this later please accept my apology.

The scale will not sink lower if the density increases but the mass remains constant. Simply because the area that the entire system (the platter on which the weight is placed and the weight itself) "interacts" with the spring (I doubt this is the proper term, but it I hope you get the idea).

i.e. While the force/m^2 acting on the platter increases the area decreases, thus leaving the system in balance (If it contracts vertically the force/m^2 stays the same).

One can't help wondering how this essay has ever made it to the competition, being so obviously scientific garbage. That people comment or even rate it is beyond belief. Either the author is as ignorant as some of his readers, or he is a successful provocateur. Only Yuri P. (in his post on Nov. 13th)noted the fundamental flaw in the dissertation that renders it completely worthless.

It does not take a rocket scientist to see it. In fact, any brighter sixth grader would know that "when an object is placed on the scale, the degree to which the scale descends is dictated by the equation P=F/A" is utter rubbish.

I don't think it would be appropriate to elaborate any further on this forum.

I live in the Bronx and my wife can talk so fast she would leave auctioneers speechless with amazement. Just last night while I watched some Bozo on the news network attempt to convince viewers he had a handle on current events and the sound of buzzing intruded into my erstwhile consciousness. I knew it was the buzz of reality moving in on me like a religious experience eclipsing the dogged journalistic hype oozing from the video newscast. I turned to see the source of the buzz. It was my wife. She was yakking into her new Iphone on a conference call and she clearly had about six other callers seized within her linguistic grasp. I focused on her mouth and could barely make out that she was talking five conversations at the same time. Is this amazing, or what? She's a master at multitasking and I shuddered to think of what it would do to me when later in bed she slipped that awesome tongue between my lips in a good night smootch. Would I be vaporized or maybe killed by the piercing reach of her awesome tongue? I could only marvel that she must have been some kinda alien in another life. Maybe she lives in another form on a distant planet like KPax to which she is intimately connected in subluminous entanglements and horrible physiks?

Its really not very scientific of you to assume (anything)that personal information about you would prejudice the reader about what you have to say on this topic...unless you are really the unibomber in disguise and if you WERE...

why should I care unless you plot to smuggle bombs to readers disguised disingenously as essays in Scientific Americana Magajagwa?

Is my girlfroind digital, or analog?

I have spent much time investigating this difficult paradox and after applying rigorous methods of inquiry the evidence convinces me she is BOTH! By use of loving licks to her outside and deep sudden probes of her innards it is clear that I MUST engage more study to ascertain the truth of her exquisite vitals.

So, until then... I remain totally engaged in this rather ultimate pursuit of truth and intellectual illumination. Who knows what hard face of reality will leap out of context to grab me by the throat and demand my wallet?

is possible in physics, but self-doubt. Egoism is what makes the world go round and without egoism no one gets grants and peer recognition.
