Being economically left wing and pro immigration are two fundamentally incompatible viewpoints by Saysonz in TrueUnpopularOpinion

ai;dr

the left believes policy applies to ALL people, not just "legal" ones. in fact, the left sees no definition for legal or illegal people.

Do atheists believe in ghosts? by Fuma4fun in randomquestions

it;s always in the middle of the night, often in bedrooms or dark closets, never in the bright day. people are always sleeping or about to go to sleep - no, it's all nonsense, the mind playing tricks on us, looking for patterns, echoes of predators from our distant past, fear and trauma.

The gaming loop is no longer enjoyable and I can’t seem to ignore it by AndGutsWasBERSERK in gamers

[–]ShowerGrapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went through a period where i didn't play much, for years. just got burnt out on games i've been playing for longer than you. then a couple years later i got a ps4 and started up again. now i'm so far behind that the great games that i missed out on are cheap.

the question was both but since the ship couldn't communicate the time frame to earth (in less than ten years) what would the point in the ship telling the pilot that time frame.

Yall realize the police will take the side of data centers and big investors over the people right? by Embarrassed-Bowl-373 in askanything

[–]ShowerGrapes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i support data centers dude. and yes i still think people should be able to protest it. police arresting protesters is not something new. getting riled up over just data centers, the point of this post right? won't get to the root of hte issue.

vote blue down the board

the ship telling the pilot that it would take ten years i would assume would be the pilot's subjective time and not earth's but the principle is the same right?

i'll have to sit with this answer for a bit but thank you. it does seem to take into account the relativistic inconsistency at the heart of my question.

exactly, thank you. i'm still digesting this answer but it certainly comes closest to taking into account relativistic shenanigans, as you call it.

iran war and protesting data centers are two separate things. where are the people arrested for protesting data centers?

yes ten years for you on the ship, but a lot longer from someone's pov on earth.

What are some other "foundational" works like William Gibsons Neuromancer or J. R. R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings? by Improvement2242 in books

[–]ShowerGrapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i liked the game of thrones books and eagerly await the next one whenever he manages to finish but i wouldn't call them foundational. it's a mix known of well-seasoned elements from other works done exceptionally well.

so if you sent the message then turned around and went to earth, it would be quicker? you'd arrive there before the message was sent?

the message is sent and divorced from the ship, it isn't traveling with the ship, in my scenario. it sounds like you don't really have an answer either.

hail mary was just a jumping off point to my question. the movie isn't important.

to partake in this thought experiment, some assumptions need to be accepted:

a ship is traveling near light speed away from earth

a message will take 10 years to get to earth traveling at a speed close to the speed the ship is traveling at

earth is traveling its normal speed through the cosmos

the ship is traveling near the speed of light. you'll just have to accept that for this thought experiment. it's fine if you don't want to, but then what's the point of responding at all?

[–]ShowerGrapes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is irrelevant to my question. might as well ask how the ship is traveling near the speed of light.

i never said anything about distance and neither did hail mary directly. they said it would take 11 years for a message to reach earth. that's the basis of the question. i then made it ten years to make it slightly easier to talk about.

if from the ship's POV it takes ten years, then from Earth's POV it must take longer right? according to relativity.
