lucky45 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Trivea Question" Whats the fastest thing in the entire universe that we know of??????????? I will answer later.
insane_alien Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 light. done. EDIT, although if you want to be finicky, the rate CMBR is receeding but thats due to expanision of space inbetween so it doesn't really exceed c locally.
insane_alien Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 quantum entanglement is not superluminal.
SH3RL0CK Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Tachyons...although they are theoretical and not proven to actually exist.
Sisyphus Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 EDIT, although if you want to be finicky, the rate CMBR is receeding but thats due to expanision of space inbetween so it doesn't really exceed c locally. You mean the rate at which the stuff where the CMBR is receding originated. (The CMBR is right here, which is why we can see it.) But then, that stuff isn't the farthest away stuff, so objects outside the visible universe are receding even faster. And if the universe is infinite, so is the maximum rate of recession.
insane_alien Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 well, yes, i meant the source of the CMBR.
lucky45 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Listen guys you are probabbly right , But I was thinking that the thought process of the human mind would be the fastest known thing we know of. Sorry if I missled you.
Phi for All Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Trivea Question" Whats the fastest thing in the entire universe that we know of???????????Hitting "Enter" and going from Brain Teaser to Epic Fail.
Syntho-sis Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 quantum entanglement is not superluminal. Why? Could you elaborate?
Sisyphus Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Why? Could you elaborate? It would be more precise to say that useful information (or any causality) is not transferred at faster than the speeed of light. The particle spookily seems to influence its entangled partner instantaneously, but conditions in one location do not affect conditions at the other faster than C.
insane_alien Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 you could use the search function. the topic has been discussed at length several times on the forum and elsewere. it cannot be used for superluminal information transfer. nothing goes faster than light, no information, nothing.
