Azdeus Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him; is he still wrong? Edited January 20, 2014 by Azdeus 4 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Woldan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Light must have mass, light beams can be used to accelerate stuff like probes in space with huge solar panels. Scientists are even figuring out probes that could be accelerated with a powerful laser from earth hitting its panels for decades making it reach very high velocities.- Light is like a bullet, if it has zero mass it can hit stuff with any kind of super high velocity it won't move the object it hits. You need mass to do that. Though as far as I know light does NOT have weight when its NOT in motion. Which is interesting because scientists have found a way to stop light making it travel through a Bose-Einstein condensate of rubidium. (though its not really light anymore when you make it stop completely) Edited January 28, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Amentep Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Light doesn't have mass (or more accurately, the photons that make up light have an invariant mass of 0). Not having mass doesn't mean it doesn't have energy, which it does. This energy can relate a relativistic mass for light if light was trapped and in that case the energy can be also be harnessed in some way (regardless of mass). As I understand it. 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSOCC Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Will going to Absolute Zero create a Black Hole? no. Black holes are dense, Absolute zero is only possible in (near) perfect vacuums. (absence of energy) Why do people lack so much self-awareness? Is it a lack of education? Is it pride? is it genetics? Are we not as sapient as we think we are? How many people are walking around with brilliant ideas in their heads, which will never see the light of day because of a lack of training or a lack of contact with people trained in the relevant field?

Are we not as sapient as we think we are? Got this one. Self-awareness is mediated against self-belief made necessary by degrees of risk. An absence of self-belief produces non-actionable perception of action outcomes. Or to put it another way, its better to be a non-self-aware bloke blithely striding towards uncertainty, than a self-aware entity cowering under a dustbin lid.

Walsingham Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I would counter by suggesting that the truly intelligent* would recognise the limitations of their own reflective understanding, and embrace sensible degrees of intuition. It is perfectly coherent to ignore what is, if you can generate the power to decide what will be. *There's no such thing as intelligence. "It wasn't lies.
