# Ok, so what if I make you travel AT the speed of light, therefore making time not exist for you
therefore it is not a time machine. I can then contain you in an environment with no time, while I take as much time as I need with my recipie as I need.

# while i'm in this timeless environment
will my body still feel the requirements of the passage of time? will i need to use the bathroom? will i need to consume food? does this time-free zone have a full kitchen or just a microwave?

a crock-pot?

are ramen noodles able to be softened, or do i have to eat microwave burritos? do breakfast burritos count as burritos? is it the ingredients that make a burrito or is it the tortilla wrapping?

# This isn't true, time still passes at the speed of light, it's just that if you had some really extreme zoom function,
the light that reaches your eyes would be the same light as when you started travelling at the speed of light.

So if you flew backwards from the planet and could somehow keep staring at the same spot, everything would appear completely still.

# what if i were on top of some very tall building,
would i be able to see my house from there, or would "the people all look like ants from way up here"?

# The question really is
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SNIPER RIFLE?

# You're wrong.
Einsteins equation = SQRT(1-V/C)

V/C at the speed of light =1, 1-1 is 0, square root of this is infinity.

1/ SQRT(1-V/C) = time dilation

1/0 is infinity, therefore time does not exist.

# What the fuck is a light year then?
If time doesn't exist at the speed of light, then light wouldn't take time to travel anywhere. It would reach its destination instantly.

It takes 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach us. WHAT IS WITH THAT, EINSTEIN?

# It's called relativity. A light year is a distance, not a time, about 9.7x10 to the 15 metres, or 1/3 of a parsec.
and it's from the perspective of the photon that time doesn't exist. In other words, relative to the photon, time doesn't exist, but to US, the photon experiences time.

As far as a photon is concerned, it is both at the place it was emitted, and in our eyes at the same time.

# *skulls a beer*
You're talking shit. Light isn't timeless, it just travels really, really fast. Faster than the human eye could process.

# I'm telling the truth. It is a fundemental truth which has been proved.
Just accept this ( I am a physics student ) and move on.

# It has been "proved".
Through countless bits of research
(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Thu 11 Jan 2007, 7:00, archived)
# i heard that scientific research
proved research to be completely unusable, and in fact, to yield results which are precisely the up-side-down versions of the actual truth.

for instance.


did you know, that research has proven that swingsets actually only swing when they are being viewed by someone who is being suspended up-side down above a mostly grassy field with some bare spots of dirt and one small irregularly shaped patch of mud, around which two hundred and fifteen third graders run, for fifteen minutes every other half hour, on monday through friday, but only when two as-yet undiscovered stars are not perfectly in line with minnesota and someone in a south-eastern country taking a hearty gulp from a sparkling red can of coca cola?

# i heard somebody saying
that the only reason everyone thinks light is so cool is that it pays the big kid five gold pieces a day to beat up anyone who says otherwise.
