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+(1.9āˆ’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.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
