| GenesaiX ::: Favorites 2007-12-13 22:11:37 You honestly mean to say that there is no limit to what we can understand? Give it some thought. There has to be a "cap" or a limit to what we can learn. Yes, I agree that we can learn and create things to help us understand but there is still a limit. In my opinion anyway. __________________________________________________ | |
| sonicsuns ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 17:55:13 I've also heard of particles that normally vanish in an instant, but last a long time when they move near the speed of light. This seems to confirm time-dilation. There is, of course, a whole lot of other stuff that is really just theory. But a couple of key things have been proven, and that's why Einstein is famous. __________________________________________________ | |
| sonicsuns ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 17:49:20 Well, I don't know about the "pole particle", or whatever. But I do know some other things have been proven. For instance, scientists observed star patterns during a 1919 eclipse, and discovered that the stars were in different positions than would otherwise be expected. This confirmed Einstein's theory that light bends according to gravity; the sun's gravity made the stars appear to be in different positions. __________________________________________________ | |

So someday, Relativity may be as easy as simple algebra. And then, of course, we'll just discover something even weirder to get confused about. And so the pattern continues... __________________________________________________ | |
| sonicsuns ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 17:38:24 I agree that this is very hard, but I dispute the phrase "cannot ever". You could say, for instance, that the human brain cannot possibly calculate millions of decimal places of pi, and in a direct sense you'd be right. However, humans can create computers to do that sort of thinking for them, and currently we know about 200 billion decimal places. __________________________________________________ | |
