Re: Modern Electrical Systems - Crimes against Man, THE Sabbath of the New Science
Mad Hatter dons his twisted semantic logic cap
<for a bit of fun bumping this thread...>
In the Einstein's famous equation: E=mc2
E stands for the energy of the object in question.
m stands for it's mass, and
c stands for the speed of light in vacuum,
( which is: c = 2.99792458 108 m/s )
To be fair... is it not the case that this implies, not that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but nothing with MASS can travel faster than the speed of light (in a vacuum)?
Logic would then dictate that a photon(discrete packet of light) traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum must have a mass of no greater than zero.
Hm... of course we where all taught that 0 even if multiplied by a really really big ferkin number still equals nothing, nada, zip, zero!!
So if we plug the mass of the photon '0' into that equation we get...
E = 0 x c2thus we get E=0 for a photon traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Does that mean all light is stationary but the vacuum is moving away very very very quickly?
