Re: Why don't stable atoms constantly emit light?

I beleive you have already answered your own question. According to Einstein's little theory in order for an object to emit (release) energy the other side of the equal sign must also decrease. This would suggest a loss of mass or speed. Since there is no loss of mass or speed (stable atom) there will be no emission of light. Do I Pass?

: Welcome to the 1960's. Many of us live in this way all the time, or as often as we can. Check out the old movie or book "Out on a Limb" Shirly McLain starred and still believes. This may be what stalled her movie carreer. You are a part of this Universe, You just don't know how big a part.

Where V is volume.

Do you understand?

Re: Will mankind ever figure out a way to travel back in time?

: If time travel was possible in the future you would not be aware of it today unless someone travelled back in time instead of forward. Have you ever had an unsettling feeling like everything was changing but just by a little bit? A moment of unsteadyness for a fleeting moment. This may have been caused by someone travelling back in time and doing something that changed your timeline, if even very slightly. They may have come back to change something on the other side of the planet, but it changed your reality persptibly.

Hello from Canada. My home is not on the natural gas grid and never will be. We don't need it. We heat our six bedroom three bath home with wood. We use energy efficient fireplace inserts that reburn the smoke to limit carbon exhaust. We also use a septic system rather than the community's waste management plant which is an energy hog.

Global warmung? Millions of years ago our earth was a tropical paradise. There were all sorts of flora and fauna growing everywhere. This was the time of the Dinosaur which now gives us our hydrocarbon fuels. Wether it was an asteroid or some other catastrophic event, they all died including the plants and most importantly the insects. Their bodies created the vast pools of hydrocarbons beneath our feet.

We are now living in an unnaturally cold time. If all these carbons were brought to the surface and were once again incorporated into our ecosystem what would our planet be like?

I admit Wall Street would need to move. So what? The human animal has built great cities close to the oceans of the world, but we have legs and can move and rebuild. What is more important, your personal comfort or the well being of our only place in this Universe.(as we know it)

ENERGY Einstein gave us E=MCsq. He suggested as energy is placed in an object it will heat or speed up. It will also reduce in size and time will slow. Something as simple as our G.P.S. sattelites have proven this as the Atomic clocks onboard must be reset daily.

So... If you took an object travelling at say.. the speed of light and caused it to slow it would reduce in mass and GIVE OFF ENERGY. It doesn't have to be big and they are all around us.

This sounds like Atomic energy but it does not have to be done in such a cataclismic way.

Understanding this idea requires a total revamping of our understanding of physics and our Universe. However any professor of physics will answer a question about our Universe with the words "as we understand physics today".

Time is aman made idea caused by the rise and setting of the sun. We have proven an atomic clock runs slower when energy (speed) is applied to it. However the change is not as significant as exspected because Einstein suggested an object will get smaller when energy is applied. Our G.P.S. sattelites must have their clocks changed every day for these anomolies.

The Universe did not worry about time until man arrived. Before him everything was a constant.
