Good god. Ok. A photon is light. Light is made up of photons. Light (or x-rays, radio waves, microwaves, heat, etc) is comprised of discreete packets of energy. We call these packets photons. So a photon does not emit light. It IS light. This also means that any photon always moves at the same speed in vacum- the speed of light coincidently, which is 300 000 kilometers per second. Review: Light is made up of photons. Photons ARE light, so it can't emit light Photons are always in motion, always moving at the speed of light ( which is the constant "c" in physics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon And dont read this post and ask another question without reading this link I give you. If you do I will flip.

Which is what we are all doing right now, incidently

Does anybody remember a paper published a few years ago, some nobody saying that time was not quite what we thought it was. I think one of his ideas is that an "instant" is necessarly a human construct, and that thinking of time as a number of instants is inaccurate, and instead time is continuous, or something. Found some things on it. I dont have time to read it like now, so I dont know if it contradicts my post or not. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-07/icc-gwi072703.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lynds

Why would it mean this.

Smelling decayin cat...

If there is no horizontal acceleration how does it move horizontally? Gravity may be acting vertically on it, but the result of it being on a slope means that its acceleration will have both an x and y component.

Maybe I missed the point, but wasn't the superposition of the cat simply reffering to the impossibility of predicting the outcome? When you open the box, the cat will be dead or alive, possibly dead for some time. But even if the cat is dead, you have no way of knowing the state of the cat unti the box is open and the cat is observed.

A stable isotope will not decay. Otherwise it wouldn't be stable.

What are you talking about. If the distance between two objects is changing steadily they are obviously not both stationary, you said this. Its like saying "An apple is moving at 1m/s. Why is the apple not moving?" The problem is that its a contradiction, they cannot both be happening.

Why in the world not?

Damn it...

Well Titan's problem is its huge distance from the sun, I dont think adding new compounds to the atmosphere will increase its warming by the sun.

The part that makes sense is wrong, not sure about the part that doesn't make sense.

The ultimate irony, using windmills on a place where it literally rains fuel.

Uhhh huh. Why is it Tesla is the center of so many conspiracy theories? Einstien is the most famous physicist of the 20th century, and he's only in a couple. Ok, Einstien was far more important than Tesla. His papers on Brownian motion and the photoelectric effect alone were very important, but his real accomplishment was Special and General Relativity, which replaced newtons theory of gravitation and allowed for the understanding of the universe on a large scale. I'm pretty sure Tesla did not invent the radio, and I dont know what "Improved lightning" would actually be. How do you improve a natural phenonemon? And if you rank Tessa so highly, what about other physicsts? What about Bohr, Schrodenger, Hiesenburg, Plank? These physicts were hugely important, I would be curious as to how you would rate them.

Extremely high energy gamma rays produce a particle/antiparticle, which then hit and destroy themselves, emitting two photons each having less the energy of the first.

Yeah it was a postulate of special relativity wasn't it. Well the point stands, its not a "theoretical" thing, its something that was measured, not deduced by the theory itself. I really is wierd when you think about it.

Uh, are you sure this theory actually exists? What would be casting the "light" to cast a 3 dimensional shadow, or any shadow other than the one we observe? I have never heard of anything like this before.
