bollocks. A line can't intersect with and be parallel to another line at the same time unless they're the same line or non-euclidian math over a forum is hard without TeX. |

i didnt say a vector is a line. i said a line is a vector. its really not the same thing. and when i did maths we did a unit called "vectors" and it was all about 2d and 3d lines. |

A line isn't a vector because a line doesn't have a direction associated with it. |
|
what i was talking about was a vector being represented by a line. in higher maths, we didnt use speeds and forces etc. just distances (or displacement rather). |

But vectors aren't represented by lines, they're represented by arrows. |

Yeah I'd be surprised if you do, although it's not actually particularly hard. General relativity however is extremely complex, it took Einstein 10 years to work out. |

Jumping in here, but I think it was Einstien who said that if you traveled at the speed of light for one year away from earth, and came back (let's say instantly) that you'd be one year younger than everyone else. |
|
that sounds about right, because of time dillation. not that i know much about it, i guess thats why i made the thread. but to be honest, i thought it would be more extreme than that if you were travelling exactly the speed of light (hypothetically of course, since it is impossible) |

So... if she weighs the same as a duck, then she's made of wood, and therefore... She's a witch! |

Yeah, it's pretty damn mind blowing. |

I explained in the post after that how that's not true... -_- |

Well, the British accents might make a pronoun sound fuzzy to me sometimes, but Aldridge is British himself and knows their lyrics like he knows the alphabet. I just told you that Aldridge was a design consultant and artist for the Beatles' company and personal friend of the Beatles. Don't you think they might have caught a glimpse of that painting before it was published in the central book of Beatles art and lyrics? I'm pretty sure Alan Aldridge listened to the band's music, as I do obsessively. Have you ever checked out the book the painting is in? A lot of the art illustrates specific lines and even specific characters mentioned. The point was not always to put it all into context of the entire song. Aldridge is a creative supergenius, and he illustrated Lennon climbing in the "back" with his head in the clouds, on his way to being gone. The "back" he illustrated in the surreal craziness was Lennon's own head and not the more literal interpretation involving the context of the rest of the song. Pretty trippy, huh? |

As xei was too polite to say, bollocks. I'll add my explanation below. |

I'm not sure how 'climb in the back' could ever be translated as 'climb in the back of your head'... :l |

I wasn't saying the traveler has an effect on the people on Earth. I was talking about an affect on the traveler. His body does bizarre slowing down and other stuff in relation to the other objects, so when he gets back, about 75 years have passed. It's not because he sped time up for them. It is a result of slowing time down for himself. So his brain and watch's interpretation of an hour is dozens of years to those moving much more slowly. Is that right? |

Hmmm anyway. |

I was talking about what xei said. I forgot to relate it to what you said, when you say that he travels at the speed of light for an hour, that only makes sense in respect to the people here on earth (or anybody that's not travelling the speed of light) because he is measuring zero time the whole way. so when he stopped, only an hour would have passed if that's what the regular observer measured. There's no way einstein said that. It could be that the traveller is travelling close to the speed of light. that would make perfect sense. |

According to mein calculator, if you wanted to go forwards 75 years in an hour, you'd have to travel at |

Yeah, I was off on that in the hypothetical. I know that traveling the speed of light is theorized to be impossible in reality. |
