The_Right_Stuff Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Hi, this " The_Right_Stuff ". I picked that name because I choose to always be on the right path. My background has been in the electronics field, and I have been working as an Electronics Eng., but I am mostly self taught. I have also been interested in the mechanics of reality. The examination of " Motion " got me interested since it had some peculiar properties such as containing two variables, speed and distance. I thought that if both variables were set to infinite, the outcome was odd. 1) Traveling across an infinite distance --> To continue to travel without end. 2) Traveling at an infinite speed --> To travel across any distance without the passage of any time. Note: If it takes time to get from point "A" to point "B", this means that you can still move faster and use less time to get from point "A" to point "B", therefore you are still traveling at a finite speed, not at an infinite speed. Only if no time at all occurs while moving across any distance, is the speed actually an infinite speed. And so the outcome was basically 1) + 2) = TO GO ON FOREVER, IN NO TIME AT ALL ! That got me started, and I eventually had an idea which in the long run led to an awareness of length contraction, the slowing down of time, Transformation equations, velocity additions, etc. Later on, I was happy to see that they were basically the same as the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction equation, the Time Dilation Equation, the Lorentz Transformation Equations, and the velocity addition equation. Not bad for a grade TENer. Like I said all my electronics background is self taught, just like my Physics knowledge. See you later. Quote

imaplanck. Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 hi and welcome? Edit : So are you saying infinity/infinity=finite??? Quote
The_Right_Stuff Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 hi and welcome? Edit : So are you saying infinity/infinity=finite??? IN A WAY, YES. Infinities in this reality, only exist relativistically, not holistically. But I guess I might get into that later on in a future post. Quote
Racoon Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Welcome aboard TRS. Electricity and self taught..Reminds me of the ever so scientifically curious Ben Franklin. :naughty: Plug yourself in here.. (no pun intended :shrug: ) Quote
