Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho

Too much time travel.
Not enough Summer Glau.

I agree with the previous post, and I hope T4 is about the war. I hated T3's "the internet made me do it" origin of Skynet... if for no more reason...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

By definition, inertial reference frames can not be accelerated. So, an object being accelerated does not have its own inertial reference frame.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Unless a lot of old observations were way off... objects appear attracted to about where the mass is, not where it was d/c ago.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

I haven't read these, but generally the problem with an EM structure is propagation speed of EM forces being c, creating a lag that doesn't correspond to observation.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Very true... but I was sort of referring to a radiative cross section... perhaps even a tipping point for spatial continuity. I guess a crack in spacetime might be one result.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

I still wonder if that complete inability for two separate places in the universe to interact could cause some sort of spatial bifurcation (splitting of space)... very loosely analogous to the...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

There is no negative time problem for an expanding 4 sphere surface just like a pocketwatch doesn't prove time travel is possible.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

There is a 1:1 correlation between space and time, especially in this example. From an observer, the big bang is seen through space, at a distance. However, the objective and unobservable size of...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

In polar or spherical coordinates, r is often constrained to the positive values. Space and Time can be 'mixable' in General Relativity, since the transformations and behavior of distance and...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

In my first post I said, "for the universe expanding at the speed of light"... which is an assumption. The rest follows from the balloon model of an expanding universe (the diagram above). In this...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

Yes it does... since in this context time = space (with a factor of c). The big bang was ~20 Billion years ago which makes it 20B*c far away [time] vs the farthest point in the universe which would...

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

The universe expands like the surface of a 4D balloon, with the surface being three-space.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

If the universe is expanding at the speed of light perpendicular to three-space, then the size of the universe in any direction is increasing at pi times the speed of light. This means that "you...

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

Fun Fact:
Though the sun has 99.9% of the solar system's mass, it has less than .5% of its angular momentum. Jupiter, with only a fraction of a percent of the mass in the solar system has about 99%...

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

The Terrestrial planets can be expected to turn slower due to 'tidal forces' dissipating their rotational angular momentum. If you check out the length of a day on ancient earth, it was much shorter...

Re: OT: Need help with renaming files in XP

I recently used File Renamer, since it was free, and can be founds at download.com.
It was helpful in renaming all the SE5 planet textures and portraits I made.
