Earth to moon is 1.3 sec (0ne way)
Sun to Earth is 8 minutes
Voyager 1 is 3 hrs traveling out of our solar system
25 trillion is proxy central
1 light year equals 6 trillion miles (amazing)
Sirus is 8.6 light years away i.e. 8.6 light years
Vegas is 25 light years so 25 light years away
Betegeuse is 500 light years away

I'm so glad the speed of light is so slow..
If light speed is the constant then God made everything beyond our ability to conceive beyond the speed of light, although I know it does exist.

When I was a kid I'd have sworn my mom hitting me up side the head was faster than the speed of light... isn't it all supposed to be relative? (and not my relative?)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')k, what is faster than the speed of light?

[Homesteader]

I thought I had read that x-rays are able to escape black holes since they travel faster than light which is what allowed the black holes to be detected, but can't find a reference at the moment.

Faster-than-lightons are faster than light.
The next dimension is not limited by speed, since time is the fourth dimension.
Just pop into the 5th, go where you want, and come back.

Information can travel faster than light, but it has to go through dimension 5.

Yeah, Up Up and Away, with the 5th Dimension.
Why don't I ever think of the cool stuff like that?

Don't say this name backwards or you could be stuck there for 160 days.

Mxyzptlk's pronounced as Miks-ill-plik (backwards, Kilp-ill-skim)

Don't do it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tanada', 'W')ell here is a cosmological puzzle for you Bill. With the Hubble Space Telescope we have looked as far as we can into space in all directions. In every direction we look we can see light around 13.5 Billion years old. IOW the furthest we can see is 13.5 ly, but we can see that distance in all directions. ...
Hard to beleive our Sol is so close to the age of the whole Universe.

[cloudysky]

There was no big bang.
The view at 14 billion years shows many galaxies that look just like ours.
at 10 billion years the galaxies look like ours
at 8 billion years the galaxies look like ours
at 5 billion the galaxies look like ours
at 2 billion the galaxies look like ours
at 1 billion the galaxies look like ours.
Astronomers know this yet they do not talk about it. isn't that weird? there is no obvious development of the universe for 15 billion years.

Now here is the crux. are you ready for this?
Stars do no last for 15 billion years.... when you think about this the result can be only one thing, and it is mind bending. There is no big bang.

it is so obvious a school child can understand it, yet because the master minds have studied for decades and been taugh error they refuse to throw all their learned systems in the trash, they keep hopefully wishing and modifying theories to take in these changes (Oh the universe is much older than we think obviously)

But in doing so they forget the simple things, stars dont last 30 billion years.... its all a farce The universe was created 6000 years ago, and the light was created simultaneously with that, now that is power. like man was created with blood in his veins already, the universe was created with light streaming through it already.

because stars were created for us to SEE it makes no sense to create the universe and have to wait 15 billlion years to see the light... He just created the light enroute. there is no other explanation that fits the pieces. There is one powerful creative God there that can speak and it is.

There is no dark matter there is other dimensions. Hubble disproves any big bang you can come up with because whatever theory you invent, all yo have to do is look half that far and it would blow that theory out of the water because stars dont last 15 billion years....

Is gravity faster than light? I asked a bloke who had done physics to a high level and he reckoned it wasn't, but couldn't remember how he knew this. Any ideas?

[davep]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tanada', 'I')n theory yes gravity is faster than light because gravirty is a dent in the curvature of space time whereas light is a wavicle that travles through spacetime. ... Then you make your artificial gravity next to one of the objects and look at the time record when the effect was detected at each location, if the time lag is different then the light lag you will have prooof.

[Aaron]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('davep', 'W')ouldn't it be easier to just measure interactions of massive objects (such as planets or comets and the sun) to see if they are attracted to where the heavier object was relative to the speed of light? i.e., is there a lag greater than the speed of light (so gravity being slower than light) or a more instantaneous attraction?
