Now That's Really, Really, Really Fast...

For all you physics buffs out there, this is cooler than cold fusion:

Yep. And if it holds up it wrecks every science based observation of how wood drys. :lol:

Warp speed
Here we come.
Well in a few years maybe.

That's what's got me worried. Geez, if we can't trust Einstein, who's gonna listen to lil' ol' me? :shut:

This is funny on about six levels. :lol:

 

[Backwoods Savage]

That's even faster than a few women I once knew!

I knew a few fast women back when I was young, funny how they never wanted to know me......... ;-)

So, in theory, the rays got there before they left.........all else being equal???

Don't worry - Einstein was still mostly on target. It makes him even smarter when you think about it this way. He figured it out by looking out the window and thinking.....

These researchers are taking the sum total of knowledge of mankind, many tens of billions of dollars, many years, the best equipment ever built, etc......and it will be a long time before they prove anything much.

When you look at it that way, Albert was definitely the man!

Where did it say that?

I want my share back. I could waste it better than that!!

Fellas, its not widely accepted as fact...yet. Many are debunking it with energy measurements, saying that it can't do what they say it did and still have the amount of energy it had at the stopping point:

I said "in theory"...meaning they got there before the expected speed of the speed of light!

It's a long way from there to a time warp......

Anyone who can understand this:
"is certainly smaller than that by three orders of magnitude, and compatible with zero."

shouldn't be hanging out in a wood burning forum...

Basically meaning "uh-uhhh".

if physicists would just accept that nothing can move faster than light, but, things can move through time, we'd have no worries. Darn block-headed rocket scientists.

Please - do not offer to show us your worm hole (again). :bug:

wanna see my swirling plasma vortex?? I use it to make crop circles, and salsa.

 

[BrotherBart]

Everything in the universe became abundantly clear and understandable to me the first time I heard "chit happens".

LMAO !!

Me thinxs the hidden sense of humor has just surfaced !!

Care to elaborate, Dennis???

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Probably should leave that one to the imagination Eileen. ;-)
