The problem of two photons

The problem of two photons

Nothing else can travel faster than light. And only particles that can reach that speed in the straight universe are photons. So when we are thinking about the case where two photons are going to different ways, we must realize that if we would sit on another photon, we cannot get any observation from a photon that travels away from us.

Because the speed of light is cosmic constant we would not get the observations of the photons that are coming after us either. So as you see there are two ways to say the same thing. And the answer depends on the way how we describe the edge of the universe.

If we want to answer the question: "Does the universe expand faster than light? " We should describe the edge of the universe.

The edge of the universe can describe as:

1) The edge of the most out gas atoms in the universe, when the speed of expanding follows the Hubble law.

2) The point where the first photons that are left from the Big Bang are reached.

So if we are using photons as describing the edge of the universe the speed of expansion is the speed of light. And the speed of photons that are traveling in the opposite direction is 2X the speed of photons because they are traveling in opposite directions. But the photons themselves cannot cross the speed of light.

The answer is yes and no at the same time. If we are thinking that the edge of the universe is at the point that the first photons that are released in the Big Bang are reaching we might think that the escaping speed between those photons is 2X the speed of the light. But the fact is that the photon itself doesn't cross the speed of light. We can answer the question about the speed of the expanding universe in two ways.

We can say that the expanding speed of the universe is the Hubble Constant is now 69.8+(1.9−1.9) (km/s)/Mpc ((m/s)/Megaparsec), what is the speed of the gas. Or the universe can expand with the speed of light in every direction if we are thinking that the edge of the universe is the point, where the first photons from the Big Bang have reach. So the diverge speed of photons that are traveling to opposite directions is 2X speed of photons. But they cannot cross that speed.

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 story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...
