Faster than light

3) They move you through space and through time. After all, these two are tightly linked together.

Yes you are probably right here.
There is no doubt that relativity and all the equations that go with it, can be used in all of the situations that we have so far tested it in. We have never yet even come close to testing it in a situation which could make it fail.
However, it is well known that in certain circumstances, relativity disagrees with quantum mechanics.
It is impossible that both are 100% correct.
Newtonian physics is rather simplistic but serves well enough in every day situations.
Relativity is useful in 99% of circumstances but I have a lot of nagging doubts that when we are able to really test it, we will find it to be a pile of bollox.
Quantum mecahnics make a whole lot more sense and appears to be applicable in a lot more situations.
:D PY :D
Zelos:
if wormhole exist we have time machines, coz if the 2 ends are moving in a different rate throught time they will be spereted not only in space, but in time 2. if let us say that 1 opening is in a orbit around our sun at a distance of plutos radie. and the other end is close to a neutron star, or moving whit speeds close to light. they will be seperated throught time, and woila, we have a time machine, but we still cant change the past, and if you ask me, relativity and quantum mechanic give as much sense both, sometimes I think relativity givers more
Botsareus:
hmmm--- Well what happens to an object that is moving near light speed and it Emits light, does this light go slower in one direction (to the abserver moving at near light speed) or not? (Light have to travel at a fixed speeeed)
:lol: Bau :lol:
Zelos:
it moves at the same speed in all directions. if that object is moving ,99C compared to earth we will only see it slow after slithly every second, but for this object the light is moving C metres from it it all directions every second
