In Einstein's e=mc squared, c is the constant for the speed of light. At the time and even up til maybe ten years ago the speed of light was thought to be constant. Since then it has been determined that light, which is a photon, is a particle with mass and not an energy wave. Yes it could be a hijacked particle with energy, but the piggy back effect of the movement of the photon, because it has mass moves according to any laws of physics, Newton's laws of motion, gravity, acceleration et cetra.
Just as the nutrino, which has even less mass than the photon, is attracted by gravity because it has weight, so does the photon more expopnentially so since the nutrino is one of the smallest partciles known to man. The nutrino accerates when it comes into a gravitational field, and with the velocity at such a pitch, the nutrino actually has enough energy top shoot into the earth and out the other side of the planet, so, photons also accelerate because of Newton's laws. Things like black holes, the deep freeze of space and other forces of gravity are going to make the photon move. There just was a problem with the measurements.
I remember when I was in grade school they brought out a meter and dumped many scoops of sand on it, and then determined how many grains of sand was on the scale. Of course it was an act of magic and not science, the meter didn't count sand grains, it counted the weight of the sand through mathematics.
When devices are constructed to measure new conceptual particles, the science isn't up to speed. Look at the speed of sound breaking, some 800 MPH, off the top of my head, or Mach one, I think the fastest we can move in our atmosphere is mach three but still even at some 2,400 MPH that is nothing compared with how fast light moves, you can add several zeroes and still come up short.
Because of the void of Science, and the slow acumulation of data for thousands of years, science is a work of progress, and should not be discounted because it is in an imperfect formative state as of now. Other constants may not be constant, as well, but the physics of particle motion is so basic, studies done with ramps, or Galilio throwing two objects of different weight off of the tower of Pisa and both having the same terminal velocity. It has all been done over and over again. Of course in the absolute zero of space, 0 Kelvin or -273 celcius, I am sure light speed is affected. But in time, as the particles of light emanate from the sun they are hot, and move faster, and even though they slow down they speed up as they reach the other gravitational fields of planets, as well as escaping from the sun's gravitational fields which would also take into account for the speed of light to appear constant with all these forces cancelling out. I assume this was why science was fooled, in light that they thought it was an energy wave.
The problem is, you just can't really grab a photon and hold it in your hand and throw it on a scale to see how much it weighs, it moves to damn fast, so fast that, the whole concept of the light year is astronomical speed. I think there is even a new constant given to the speed of light the au, or astronomical unit.
My point is, well, actually CTyler, you made the point for me. I was telling you guys how it is impossible for aliens to get here, and then you say science isn't accurate by bringing up the speed of light,
well the fact of the matter is, a light year is something that travels for a year at the speed of light, and if Betelgeuse is 10,000 light years away, and that is the closest star, I mean, hell, I retract what I said before that aliens could get to us given enough time, there is not enough time in the univers to make the distant interstellar trips across the deserts of the sands in the hourglass of time.
About the only thing that can impregnate the Earth is renegade comets from other solar systems, or meteors from asteroids from Mars, Mercury, Venus, and objects in the Kuiper Belt, all the other planets are made of gas.
There have been some MArtian rocks that have landed from Mars kicked up because an asteroid hit mars and then, the bacertia, or ancient deads fossilized bacteria has hit the earth, but, shoot, space is a vaccum, all things alive have cell walls and have pressurized insides, and when you trasvel through space, even bacteria will explode from a lack of atmosphere to keep it whole. Even if the bacteria originated in space and it has always existed in a vaccum, the second it hits the earth it would implode from the pressure of the sky, all the molecules of air atoms pressing down on us at 15 pounds per square inch, no, we are definately alone in the universe, not because it ain't out there, just is the undeniable truth that the very thing that makes life potential possible on other worlds, the vastness of space, is the very same thing that protects us from Jesus aliens from beaming down to teach us how to live. None of us would listen to an alien Jesus anyways, it would all be Greek to us.
I thought about this for several days CT, so there is your answer, stop bugging me and everyone else on this site will be happy. Don't make do this to you again.
I would have sent this to you onyour email interdept, but I was ambushed again over there, page keep freezing from a second saboteur, now there are two people who are actively forcing me off this site. I hope it doesn't come to that. If vampires can't understand a vampire then, humans certainly won't.
