A question for a brainiac

[Red Light]

[QUOTE 1991474, member: 9609"]It would be interesting to know what G the human body could tolerate for many months on end, may be 0 - speed of light will never be much below a year.[/quote]

We live almost our entire lives subject to 1G. So all it would mean is the spaceship would have an artificial gravity similar to that on earth for which down is towards the back end of the spaceship. Remember under General Relativity there is no difference between a gravitational field of 1G and an acceleration of 1G.

It's inversely proportional to how much 'O'-level physics I've forgotten in 37 years!

We don't have the power captain. You appear to have run out of time to show a star trek episode within an hour with adverts. You'll just have to write a soap opera in space instead. No fight fights on giant rocks with exotic aliens for you.

Excellent RL.. thanks.

Don't forget the enzyme accellerant....

...nah TCS, that's only when you meet yourself coming back.

 

[Archie_tect]

I can guarantee I won't be going. Sad really...

Hang on RL, 300,000,000/10 isn't that just the time taken under constant velocity of 10m/s to travel 300,000,000 metres, which does not account for constant acceleration at 10m/s2 to achieve the speed of light....

If you want to work the actual numbers out, you can do it via the hyperbolic trigonometric functions ^^.

Think of them as imaginary versions of the standard trigonometric functions. It's time that buggers things up, you end up with a 4th term with a different sign from the other three and it works out at a very basic level you can use cones to understand it. It's not just pretty pictures, it has physical meaning.

Two threads, a bit like the double slit experiment. Using quantum probability theorem it is possible to witness bollox in two places at the same time

no i stopped posting on Bikeradar

and if i have a tin bucket of bleach and toothpaste giving off vapours , does that mean i have a small cauldron of halides

White is black and black is white, night is day and day is night, dogs are miaowing and cats are barking..... Welcome to the parallel universe you have just found in the your spaceship!

White is black and black is white...

You need to be careful around Zebra Crossings then. (With thanks to D. Adams, R.I.P.)
