Special question for Challenge on Special Relativity

[rabbitBUSH]

A car is travelling towards point B with the speed of light. The driver turns the lights on.. Which one arrives @ point B first, the car or the light?

What happens when light reaches infinity?

 

[Beja]

What happens when light reaches infinity?

Infinity in space or in velocity?

 

[rabbitBUSH]

velocity?

By that do you mean time?

 

[josejad]

What happens when light reaches infinity

Error: interger divided by 0

 

[Beja]

By that do you mean time?

Velocity means speed (constant speed like that of light)

 

[Cableguy]

Infinity does not exist, it's just a way of saying "I don't know where it ends"

 

[rabbitBUSH]

Velocity means speed

so, Time, since velocity is a function of time :

@Cableguy : here's the twister for you - apparently it does...

here's an answer the original question [in the related post you (@Beja) sent recently] and this poser.....

Gee ask a question a 2AM after an hour or two decyphering your adaptation of one of @Erel 's examples and you suddenly know where you are \\er, where it ends???\\

 

[Beja]

so, Time, since velocity is a function of time

Not really velocity, like speed, is distance/time
It can't be time and a function of time at the same time!
The only difference is that velocity is a constant speed, while speed can vary.

 

[rabbitBUSH]

velocity is a constant

Except that time is affected by travel through space so the calculation of either is arguably neither constant nor, perhaps, consistent. So the travel towards infinity means we'll get there at different times and

Error: interger divided by 0

The Renaissance put a spot on a canvas and used that to draw lines assisting them to represent visual :reality:. Perhaps, then, the arrival at infinity is that Splatter point. Oddly, we all refer to the :lines of perspective: as receding into the distant point of infinity, never proceeding. So, the whole issue of where infinity is in space versus time {or space-time} and at what velocity, is seen from some external point-of-view (and we're back with Einstein and Hawking)

Can someone write an app? Since we're in B4X space and time.....

Well this is the textbook definition of velocity. Something travelling with a constant speed.

It's like when your wife is saying "this year we won't have any christmas presents". Mathematically it means 0 presents. But we all know that 0 isn't equal to "nothing". So if you devide by 0 (as it is not nothing, but somehow very small but not less important), you get a infinitive big result. Like the trouble with your wife. Nothing is not "no thing"

 

[rabbitBUSH]

It's like when your wife is saying

And apparently, wives might be the same all over... We heard the same conversation.... Which brings me to chaos theory and the butterfly sneezing....

 

[rabbitBUSH]

So if you devide by 0

Why is it that if you divide zero by zero you don't get one?

 

[udg]

Why is it that if you divide zero by zero you don't get one?

Because if you have 2 divided by zero you should have 2 and so on

 

[rabbitBUSH]

Why is it that if you divide zero by zero you don't get one?

Sorry guys i should have started a new question thread, [staying with the infinity theme....]
