Speed of the light is not (and it is at the same time) the same thing with the speed of the photons

 

Speed of the light is not (and it is at the same time) the same thing with the speed of the photons


The thing that the time dilation causes is that the speed of the photon is not stable but the speed of the light is always stable at the same time. The thing is that gravity would slow the photons but it always slows the time, and that means that the speed of the light is always 299 792 458 m/s. That speed is the fastest possible speed to reach in the straight universe. 


So the photon would travel slower than we are walking if the gravity field behind it is strong enough. The time dilation would cause that if we would try to make the race with those photons we would not reach them, and we would meter their speed to the 299 792 458 m/s if we would be in that gravity field. 


So what would be first, what drops in the black hole, photon, piece of iron, or the brick? The answer is that gravity would affect all particles in the same way. But there is one rule the escaping velocity must be higher than the speed of light that the photon could drop in the black hole. 


And the point where the photon drops in the black hole is called "event horizon". That means that the particle drops through this point speed that is higher than the speed of the light, but does it ever come back? Does the black hole grow until it would form the wormhole with another black hole? Or would every black hole grow until they are eating the entire galaxy?


The speed of light is stable, but the speed of photons is chancing and the time dilation causes that the speed of the light is stable. We know that there are differences in the speeds of photons, but we cannot observe them. The speed of the light is always stable because the gravity would dilate time in the space near the photons. 


But before we would see the difference between the speed of photons requires we would step away from our dimension. The reason why I just wrote that the speed of the light is not stable is that it depends on gravity, what effects to photons, what is traveling outside the center of gravity. 


But why the speed of the light is still stable if we are looking at the thing in the same dimension is that the gravity dilates the time, and the time would go slower in the strong gravity field. So if the supermassive object would be close enough, that thing would slow the photons, but it also slows the time. And that means that we always would see that the speed of the light is stable.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
