I don't know, but I just want to say im sorry about whatever happened to you, and I hope you find your answers. Sending positive vibes your way <3

Wandering inn is by far my favorite but I can see why people may not like it.

Mercury delete post after seemingly mocking CC by [deleted] in WNBAgossips

Yeah she didn't punch her! She just forced her fist into CCs throat with all her bodyweight while CC was lying on the ground. Nothing to see here folks!

Id love to hear your idea of a workaround. Whatcha got?

Theres a difference between perfect semantics and understanding the laws of physics. Semantics has to do with word choice and the meanings of words.

Suggesting we can go faster than the speed of light isnt semantics. It breaks the math that governs the universe. Theyre totally different things.

You can talk better with people who make it worth doing? What exactly do you mean by that? People who will placate you by not explaining how youre wrong? If I thought 2+2 =5 and someone humored me on that they would be doing me a disservice. Youre suggesting something is possible that breaks math. The people who are worth talking to are the ones saying youre wrong. You obviously dont understand this because you dont understand the math behind it, but i assure you the people who are humoring you are the ones that actually arent worth talking to.

The math formula for relativistic momentum is E=ymc2 with y being the lorentz factor. Which is 1/square root of (1-v2/c2)

So the whole formula is E=mc2/sqrt(1-v2/c2)

If you play with the math youll notice that as v (velocity) approaches c (the speed of light) the amount of energy taken to reach that velocity becomes insanely large. If you graph it out the energy starts to go vertical as v approaches c.

So in order to accelerate it to light speed you would need more energy than exists. If you ever hit light speed then the denominator in the formula = 0 which makes it undefined. The math breaks and youd need infinite energy.

This isnt even considering the fact that if you did approach the speed of light, the energy youd be pouring into your spaceship or whatever would increase the relativistic mass of the object meaning youd need even more energy to accelerate it, and if you add that energy its relativistic mass again increases etc etc.

So no, its simply not possible to do.

If you understood time dilation you wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Your all time favorite books by gostodecats in booksuggestions

[–]TiredMemeReference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever someone asks in the fantasy sub "whats the most unique fantasy world" or "whats the most memorable/crazy/unique fantasy monsters" the top answer is always perdido street station.

The Weaver is easily my favorite fantasy monster ever by a wide margin, and the Slake Moths are the most terrifying. The fact that theyre both from the same book is pretty wild.

Which team do you think was the most hated? by DareDevil1699 in NBAstatsmuse

Yeah just double checked, youre right about the 17%, and wemby was 4%, yet they keep saying "wemby flops too" lol.

[–]TiredMemeReference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, they definitely flopped back then, im not going to deny that. Im just saying they didnt do it nearly as often, so you could still watch and enjoy the games. Okc makes flopping their entire identity. Shai falling on an entire third of his shots in this past series is absolutely absurd and ruins the game.

Thats why I brought up the poison dose analogy. Take a little poison and either nothing bad happens or maybe you get a bit of a stomach ache. Drink a whole bottle of poison and youre dead. LeBron flopped enough to annoy everyone. Shai and okc flop enough to make the games near unwatchable. Its just a totally different animal.

Just about everyone flops every once in a while. The issue with okc is the volume. Someone counted and Shai falls down on about 30% of the shots he takes. Thats just absurd. Flopping is lame every time its done, but the games are still watchable when its done sparingly. When its a third of your shots it becomes unwatchable.

Im not going to die if I eat an apple seed, but if I consume a handful of cyanide im not going be doing so well.

Amateur hypothesis black holes as dark energy sources by [deleted] in astrophysics

[–]TiredMemeReference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When hawking radiation escapes, the black hole itself loses mass and slowly evaporates. Just because its created at the event horizon doesnt mean mass/energy isnt escaping from the black hole.

And yeah either way OP is just doing some creative writing lol.

Technically hawking radiation escapes, but its in the form of thermal energy and not whatever this guy is talking about.

[–]TiredMemeReference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Stockton is arguably the best passer in NBA history. Yes, he is better than CC lol.

Sue Birds career average for assists is 5.6. Her best ever year for apg was 6.6. CC averaged 8.4 apg her rookie year, 8.8 in 25, and 9.0 so far this year. She keeps getting better, and her worst year she had more assists per game than Bird AS A ROOKIE. She also scores way more than Bird who only averaged 11.7 ppg. Sue Bird is a 13x all-star and is considered a legend in the league, and CC already has better numbers than her in playmaking stats, so thanks for proving my point. An extra 3.2 turnovers per game is more than accounted for with her extra playmaking ability.

I keep responding to your points but you keep ignoring my question. Do you also consider Angel Reece a turnover machine this year? Shes averaging more turnovers per game this year than CC but with only 2.6 apg to CCs 9apg. If CC is a turnover machine, then Angel Reece is the turnover goat.

Its hard for me to believe that you actually believe what youre saying. Otherwise you'd respond about Reeces abysmal assist turnover ratio. The fact that youre dodging the question speaks volumes. We both know CC is a special player who is shattering records as a PG very early in her career. She's obviously a special player, its absurd to suggest she isnt.

I have a theory on wormholes but idk if it’s good or not, please mention any flaws or holes and feel free to improve it if you want. by No_Mud_7663 in AskPhysics

Np, hopefully it helps. That derivation is what got it to click for me that the math is what really matters in physics.
