Muh physics savants, how does time dilation work?

[minute bull]

hawkings may have talked

Fucking doubtful!

 

[Striderx5]

Do you have the reality gem?

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Suppose I piggyback a beam of light, what would the word look like from my perspective? Does everything come to a standstill until I stop to look around?

It would be compressed to a narrow circle in front of you.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Fine, let me rephrase then. What is the relationship between objects from the perspective of a photon traveling at c speed?

An observer would see every point it ever traveled to at one time. And everything would be standing still. Time stops at c.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Read Brian Greene's 3 books. The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Reality. Those books changed my life. I need to revisit them myself. My theoretical physics is pretty damn rusty.

 

[Joe Mama]

the kinetic energy it has when it enters a black hole, would increase the BH's mass.

In essence making it a masshole.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Since time is "relative," I think everything would look normal...to you. But to us you would be a fucking beam of light, man. A beam of light.

[Aegon Spengler]

Well you can't see at the speed of light, the "speed of sight" is shit

 

[rj144]

Technically, no.

a Photon has no rest mass -- but it does have a weird quantum mechanics behavior in that it can produce kinetic energy

same principle applies to a gluon

Some recent models show the photon might have a very tiny rest mass. It's lifetime is on the order of a billion billion years according to this model. Photons might decay eventually into neutrinos.

 

[Andy Capp]

That's rather fucked. If time is irrelevant to a photon, then so is distance.

Correct. Anything moving at c has no perception of time as we know it. At the same time, I think it's billions upon billions of times more likely that something is wrong with our model than that something with mass can nevertheless move at c. Please provide a source for this evidence of photon decay, since I have not heard anything about this observation.

Yeah, i saw Heeck explain that model at the Perimeter institute but his model is based on CMB observation of black body spectrum -- which if true, could not be proven as the 13.8 billion years wouldnt be enough time to calculated the decay of a photon at speed.

Didnt know about the neutrino part.

you can fool reality, it has been proven. alot of people think that fooling reality is part of the future.

I need to qualify this. Time stands still for the observer traveling at the speed of light. However, that means everything else around the observer would seem to be sped up in time. The observer would basically see everything that ever happened and will happen, from their point of view, all at once.

source that?

 

[Jack Reacheround]

source that?

No

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

No

ok then...

who came up with 24 hours in a day?

lol changed your life how?

I read the first two... lol @ the blind faith level gymnastics most of the theories are built on.

Those books did have an impact on me tho, showed me that theoretical physics was a subject pursued by only the most stubborn and myopic of people.
