I hit 797.88582731206250255324mph today!




COS(latitude)*Earth circumference/24 hours

COS(40.0066)*(25000/24)=797.88582731206250255324mph!


Or if you want to get technical,

Earth rotates about the sun at ~940 million km/hr or 584088920 miles
8760 hours/yr

(584,088,920mi/hr)/8760=66676.81735159817352mph

66676.81735159817352+797.88582731206250255324=6747 4.70317891023602255324mph!


And I wasn't wearing any gear!


You didn't factor in the rotational speed of the milky way. You lose for having a stupid frame of reference.


Frame of reference is relative?


Sure, the galaxy is spinning, and the universe is expanding exponentially, so for all we know we could be going (-) xxx mph.

Geez :wtf

If the asian guy says :wtf, Im not even looking at it.

Too stupid; didnt read.

Ibtl

Maybe give him 1 week timeout

I guess I missed the part in the forum rules that stated no math threads.

I just want to discuss space and math with people.

The comprehension of space is amazingly incomprehensible. You couldnt count the number of starts in our galaxy in 10 lifetimes.... I love those Through the Wormhole and How the Universe Works shows.... Shit will mindfcuk you.

I just started reading The Elegant Universe. The people who can truely understand the physics and math needed to discover and calculate other dimensions is just mind boggling.

Yeah, that is well beyond me. Im still stumped on how gravity changes how time affects people so those experiencing less gravity experience time slower. Shit melts my brain.

i understand how to do a lot of the calc and calc 2. trig and geometry were easy, but you get into anything over college level physics 2, and i'm like a pothead highschool kid... "whaaaaaa??" :laugh

but i, too, enjoy those nerdy space documentaries on tv. :D

I'm not sure why you decided to carry through so many significant digits, but I see what you did there. Solid thread, man. :fact

Fail for misspelling 'intellectual' in the thread title.

nothing you would notice. and that's why within reason, you HAVE to have a "tolerance" in your brain to be able to accept those things that we can't understand. like our mass increasing... the closer we get to lightspeed. :| wtf?! ok, so my brain's tolerance level on that is "my bike goes 165-ish... that's fast enough, and i don't go forward in time. so **** it." :laugh

Ha, you found my Easter egg. I wondered if anyone would notice it.

Didn't happen, Doc Brown says at 88 MPH time travel is possible.:pimp

Yes, this is my kinda thread...

I work with a guy who carried 2 ( yes 2) PHD certs simultaneously. One in calculus and the other in aerodynamics (yes, he was employed by NASA at one time) He's our aerodynamicist, he designs aero patterns for golf balls. He's got some equations on his white board in his office that are a couple of hundred characters long...yeah

He writes binary code...while he's talking to someone else about something completely different:fact

But yet...he doesn't talk down to anyone...he's a cool guy

Geez thats crazy.

I feel like a badass when I keep typing on the computer while looking at someone else and carrying a conversation with them.:flex:

Ha, I used the most basic math. Would kill for that kind of brain power.

^^ I agree. I love watching the Beyond the Universe show that he does.

Yes a frame of reference is relative because it changes your perceived speed and what factors are affecting that perception.

MIDDLE SCHOOL GENERAL SCIENCE

I would debate more but I really just don't gaf...

you don't give a fcuk but you want to make sure you mouth off how smart you are and insult the OP's intelligence.



You sir are one bad MOFO....

Ok here is a thought from the other day... The relationship of reality and how vast the space is, this is mind ***cin beyond my puny intellectual capacity. Compare the size of the universe how minuscule we are to the biggest known star! How is this all real? How can something be so massive fit into a empty space yet exist in an empty void, does this Void even exist? Fck it I dont cant even make sense out of it!!

That's why he's a math whiz and not an english professor. Just a guess. Lol.

Another interesting fact:



An Earth day is not actually 24 hours, it is less. Called a sidereal day, it is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is due to the fact that as the Earth is spinning, it is also moving slightly less than 1* per day around the sun. To put it into perspective, the earth seems to spin just faster than one revolution per 24 hours. This is because we are also rotating about the sun.

Why do the planets in our solar system resemble a molecular structure of atoms revolving around a nucleus?

Food for thought...

If that were true, our solar system could be a molecule in a grain of sand somewhere on a beach

Not the same. The planetary rotation can be explained using Newtonian physics, whereas the electrons "rotating" about an atom is quantum physics. The atom doesn't revolve, but occupies a volume of space simultaniously. A physical representation would be kind of like Saturn's rings. The planetary rotation is due to gravity.

Edit: since there is no loss of angular momentum due to friction, the electron continues to revolve around the atom until something else interferes with it, ie Newton's first law.

Physically speaking...of course...but the images do resemble one another

Well yeah, but by that way of thought the way gravity distorts the fabric of time is the same as when I horizontally suspend a towel in the air and take a dump on it. It both resembles each other.

My brain has exploded....

supposedly 2 + 2 = 4

supposedly 2 + 2 = 4

Real talk though, I had heard that equation but I wrote it off as bs.

supposedly 2 + 2 = 4

2+2=5

If the sun were to collapse into itself and form a black hole, it would have to collapse to a diameter of about 3km. If the earth would to collapse, it would be about 9mm in diameter.


How a black hole is formed:

A massive star starts to collapse when it exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer counteract the inward pull of gravity. The crushing weight of the star’s overlying layers implodes the core, and the star digs deeper into the fabric of space-time. Although the star remains barely visible, its light now has a difficult time escaping the enormous gravity of the still-collapsing core. The star passes through its event horizon and disappears from our universe, forming a singularity of infinite density.

The more matter this singularity pulls in, the more powerful it becomes. Not even light can escape. The gravity is so strong, that the light is bent back into itself. Einstein's gravitational laws actually break down, and space-time ceases to be.

The speed of light is 670 million mph. If you were to reach the speed of light, and someone in front of you turned on a flashlight, the light will still travel at 670 million mph. The speed of light never changes, regardless of how fast you travel.

Mind boggling.

Time travel




Time moves slower the faster you go. Or does it?

Say a person lives for 70 years on earth going earth speed. If the same person were to go 667 million mph, he would appear to live for 700 years. This is because from our perspective, the time of the fast person seems to slow down by about a factor of 10. The person traveling at 667 million mph, however, only truely lives to the age of 70, and his perspective of someone on earth shows that they live for only 7 years.

More on time travel



All objects in space travel at the speed of light. All objects travel in four dimensions, up & down, left & right, forward & backwards, and through time. Just like traction on your R6, the friction used for turning can not be used for braking. Using this analogy we can see that an object has a set amount of motion it can use. If it goes forward, it takes away some of the remaining motion from the other three dimensions.

If you remember your geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If we use this proof, then an object traveling in a straight line at the speed of light is using all of its expendable motion going in one direction: forward. This leaves no motion left for left or right, up or down, or.... time. An object traveling at the speed of light is experiencing no passage of time.


So, in order to time travel, one must go faster than 88mph. But, it can be done (theoretically)
