Light

[mookie2001]

is a particle and a wave.
you must accept this in order to have the knowledge dropped

I could use a light also.....

I didn't know stoners knew the Dual Nature of Light.:rolleyes

This should keep you busy for hours contemplating the meaning of the universe. :lol

FYI, the dual nature of lite is that it tastes great, yet is less filling. :tu

That picture was staged for my Big Brother aplication. the booze was Dizzg's

[thispego]

ohhhh :lmao
thats awesome, what would you have done if they selected you?

[mouse]

They did call me for BB5 but my probation officer said I had to stay in Texas.

Besides BB now has all young sexy looking folks, my old fat ass has other plans...

I am sending in an app, for survivor this week.

Why? Is the next Survivor going to be in Texas?

[thispego]

:lol

survivor would be the shit, you would have the edge over all the other survivors with your multiple personalities. you'd be fucked in the challenges or whatever they're called though.

[mouse]

Survivor is shot on location, once I am overseas the laws don't apply to me.

Besides my probation ends on the 1st of august,

[mouse]

:lol

That much is true,



you'd be fucked in the challenges or whatever they're called though.

what if one of the challenges is eating?

[thispego]

fuck yeah, august 1st
right around the corner

[thispego]

I cant say that i know you, but i don't see you as a guy who would refuse any type of meal

And yet Slovenian Brandy con Flies is perfectly acceptable...

:lmao

[Zombie Terri Schiavo]

Slovenian Brandy con Flies

to me , that's like a buffet................

[Cant_Be_Faded]

once again an interesting topic becomes hijacked by conservative posters


Does everyone know the experiment used to discover the wave nature of light? The diffraction patterns don't lie...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you see, when it came down to it, only a wave could explain both constructive AND destructive interference patterns seen in the double slit experiment....

[Shelly]

And yet Slovenian Brandy con Flies is perfectly acceptable...

:lmao


:lmao

That was so disgusting!

eat me biocch ! beacuse of us this topic is not on page 2, why don't you and Mookie go find a tree to hug? this is the club , not the Learning channel.

The topic of this thread was very good.

I always enjoy the scientific oddities that make up the world around us.

However, I feel more than a little disturbed that the thread went off topic and had a few obscene words tossed in along the way.

Let's please keep on topic and get back to discussing the wonders of this miracle of a planet.

[thispego]

is'nt there a science forum?

[Ron Jeremy]

.Let's please keep on topic and get back to discussing the wonders of this planet.

let's start with Uranus :lmao

[Steve Perry]

so is there any more talk on this light topic, or did the topic starter pull a T Park and bail out?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

did you know that that light, x rays, and other waves can not be emitted at an arbitrary rate, but only in certain packets that are called quanta

hence, the quantum hypothesis

[SWC Bonfire]

Let me know when you get to the wonders of the hybridized SP3 orbital.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

thats chemistry, we're talking physics (quantum?)

[Shelly]

Light is the opposite of dark.

[SWC Bonfire]

thats chemistry, we're talking physics (quantum?)

:lol Ok, then pull out your old mass spectrometer and check out the wavelengths emitted by different elements as electrons jumping to a lower orbital emit quanta to act as a release of energy.

[Bandit2981]

We have the speed of light, can anyone say what the speed of dark is?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oooh i hated mass spectrometry, i always copied off this hot indian chick in org. chem lab

she was pre-med

[SWC Bonfire]

Instantaneous, as in: "she instantaneously became more attractive at the flick of a switch." :lol

good one
:lol

[hunter-thereckoning]

If a pulse of light is emitted at a particular time at a particular point in space, then as time goes on it will spread out as a sphere of light whose size and position are independent of the speed of the source. After one millionth of a second the light will have spread out to form a sphere with a radius of 300 meters; after two millionths of a second, the radius will be 600 meters; and so on.

[SWC Bonfire]

Yes, but if a train leaves Chicago going southbound, and passes a train going northbound, will the light from the headlight of the oncoming train be traveling faster than the speed of light?

[Bandit2981]

no :)

[travis2]

no :)

You are correct.

Would you be able to tell if the other train was moving relative to you?

[SWC Bonfire]

Somebody insert a fart or sex joke, because this is getting pretty nerdy. :lol

[travis2]

OK...one nerd rode up to another nerd on his new bike. "WOW! What a neat bike! Where did you get it?"

"Well, this beautiful woman rode up to me, jumped off the bike, ripped off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want!' So I did."

[hunter-thereckoning]

Good question, I'd say no because I think nothing can travel faster than that certain speed including objects.

An object can in fact never reach the speed of light, because by then its mass would have become infinite, and by the equivalence of mass and energy, it would have taken an infinite amount of energy to get it there. So I dont think that help from an object moving would boost light's speed. But Im not sure so Im probably wrong.

[hunter-thereckoning]

oh ok good i was right lol

[Bandit2981]

Whats cool to think about is some stars that we see at night might not even be there anymore, but their light is just now reaching earth

[hunter-thereckoning]

yeah... light from the nearest star (Alpha Centauri) takes a little more than 4 years to reach Earth

[hunter-thereckoning]

If the sun blew up then we wouldn't feel its effects right away because it takes 8 minutes for light to reach Earth from the Sun

[HB22inSA]

Elementary Science Forum

Elementary, my dear Mookie.

The Special Theory (E=mc2) and the General Theory of Relativity explain all this.

It's very easy reading...

[hunter-thereckoning]

energy= (mass) x (the speed of light) 2

[mouse]

Can we move on to Cameras?

Very interesting. They say that going faster than the speed of light is theoretically possible but physically impossible. Going faster than the speed of light would be equal to time-traveling, but as the reckoning posted, the spectrum effect would rip a ship to billions of pieces at the other end. Kind of like pointing your flashlight light at a distance, the light eventually spreads itself out to where there is no longer enough light (or particles) left. If man is ever to move out of this galaxy, its probably going to have to be through worm holes or inter-dimensional travel.

[HB22inSA]

Right, light speed is a constant and will never change.

Actually, particles can travel faster than the speed of light. Remember, as you approach the speed of light, the space around the particle begins to warp (and i don't mean like star trek). So, theoretically, the particle itself may be travelling faster than light, but the space around it may be travelling less than the speed of light, which is where relativity and quantum mechanics take over.

It's quite simple...

[Swishy McJackass]

Many creationists would say that the speed of light is "slowing down," or that it was created "en route," which explains how the Universe could have been created 6-10,000 years ago.

This also demonstrates the utter stupidity of many creationists, and the need for quality science classes in public schools.

[SWC Bonfire]

Swishy McJackass learned that in Woodsboro HS.

[hunter-thereckoning]

lol most say that the universe is expanding

[Bandit2981]

Some say there are 3 parallel(possibly more) universes - past, present, and future, and they are all happening simultaneously, but we only recognize what is relative to us at this point in time.

[hunter-thereckoning]

the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second

[hunter-thereckoning]

ya one russian scientist said that the universe appears all the same to us in all directions

[hunter-thereckoning]

some scientists also say that there might be a shadow universe if we think in terms of an atom....to kind of counter ours like a shadow...and that there are shadow beings walking around in it

kindve freaky if you ask me

You have no idea about real Science! But for $99.99 I can get you started on your way!

this is accounted for in holographic universe theories, but with little concrete evidence

[thispego]

wtf are yall getting this?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

if you had read the dancing wu li masters in the half year i've been lending it out to you, you would be able to come up with postulates of your own

[thispego]

you havent even read the whole thing, and i KNOW reckoning isnt this smart

[Bandit2981]

There's no real "concrete" evidence in quantum physics either :)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you havent even read the whole thing, and i KNOW reckoning isnt this smart

Zukov talks about light and the double slit experiment in like the 1st or 2nd chapter.

Reckoning is under the tutelage of Pimpo, so..

I dont think holographic universe theories rely too much on quantum physics, at least not the one i read about. Actually my initial post was slightly in jest because it was mostly psuedo-science.

Well what I meant was you say it's psuedo-science because there isn't any actual "concrete" evidence to support it, but quantum physics is pretty much just guessing and estimating as well, but many believe in it. So perhaps the hologram thing can have some merit also, its a good topic to discuss when smoking out. :smokin

[SWC Bonfire]

There's no real "concrete" evidence in quantum physics either :)

Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, sand, gravel or crushed stone, water and entraped air. Cement is not concrete; it is merely a component of concrete. Concrete is brittle in tension and is typically reinforced with shredded fibers, steel mesh, or steel bars.

Instead of smoking to that, make yourself useful & go pour a sidewalk. :lol

true dat mah brotha

im not that smart...i just have my theory of relativity and quantum physics down

what? you cant withstand a 15 year old dropping knowledge?
