sorry to disappoint you but that is not something you could wiki or google, since I am quoting nobody but myself....
the only thing you could do is to perform experiment to prove me wrong ...but not that one with the cuckoo clock sent on ISS...
think about that... at Planc scale things are so small that you could not split them anymore...if that will be your fundamental time unit/interval could not be smaller or bigger depending on circumstances...
Lets do following experiment...
You have identical two cookoo clocks , one sitting at your home and another one with your friend orbiting ISS with close to light speed....both so accurate that measure the time in Planck time increments...you walkie-talkie your friend to compare readings - everytime you count one Planc unit you call your friend and because he is going much faster, time is slower,, evertime he has zero readings....one day he has the same reading as you... then nothing again...
then you may want to walkie-talkie to Einstein to review...
There is more to this story
Before your friend went in the cosmos to perform this cookoo clock experiment you gave him beautiful flower pot ( or something similar could be weed actually ) , but at same time Schrodinger's wife gave him a cat for the trip.
Once in space you called him to check how the plant is doing. He told you that plant is dead because cat pee to the pot. Angry as hell you asked your best friend to kill that bastard cat now.
As you all know all good things takes some time, especially on space station spinning around the Earth at near light speed. Friend needs to find a shotgun on the space station, load that slug into barrel, watch not to shot himself into foot in zero gravity, and aim that bustard cat.
To kill the time you went to the pub for e beer and told whole story to your mates.
They began bid instantly:
1) the cat is dead by now,
2)No mate, friend didn't killed the cat so must be alive
3) Since we don't really know could be either dead or alive said the rest
You took the money, split three ways and walkie-talkie your space friend straight from the pub to check who won the gamble.
Call to space was a bit fuzzy but the answer was clear 1) Cat is not alive 2) cat is not dead either 3)Cat is not even dead and alive 4)He put the cat into the freezer, so is not moving at least.
Not the sort of answer you expect from your best friend.
Now try explain to your mates why you need to keep their money . Nobody guess.!
( for those more familiar take the cat for the spin )
Imagine so ! You called your friend on the space station spinning around the Earth at near light speed a week later and he told you that since the time the cat is dead
( ok in the freezer to be correct ) , space station get infested with the single mouse that escaped from the lab !
Running around like crazy. Once your friend try to guard the door to the storeroom with tasty smelly cheese mouse run through other door to pilot room where his chocolate is hidden under the table.
Holly crap without your help this one small white mouse will damage all his precious supply.
So you did advise to setup camera booby trap to spy on the mouse.
Once camera detect the mouse eating the cheese , turn the servo that slap the door, shut, to trap them stupid mouse inside one room. Then he could crawl slowly with the crow bar to teach the mouse the lesson.
So hid did. Before getting sleep he setup that trap on both doors to the cheese and chocolate room to check where the mouse went ....
In the morning you did video skype your friend to check on the kill.
Surpassingly instead of bloody mouse stain on the floor you found your friend still standing by the doors scratching his head with crow bar! Both door closed! One mouse, two rooms, both doors closed!! Where is the mouse? How it is possible ??
No worries, mate you did said. Have a look at video recorded on the camera . He did and that is when you heard the stumbling sound of your friend collapsing unconscious on the floor. In zero gravity you did said to yourself, that is strange...
When you look at the security video you did get a bit more confused. One small white mouse sharing the chocolate and cheese with herself in one room...
It must be cheap Chinese optics in the cameras this days you did calm down yourself...
Unless there is other explanation???
(In the strange cosmos mouse may looks or behave like a snake (with her tail) , get trough both doors simultaneously )
Macro's version of Schroedinger's cat and relativity, all in one post, is the funniest sh!t on the interwebs, ever.
Hello Huston!
We may have a problem with that cookoo clock expedition. For the big trip like that with a lot of crew on board: 1 human , I cat and one mouse the fridge suppose to be well stuffed with supply's.
But the night before the ship departure Mr Higgs responsible for provisions get drunk at the pub and forget to load the whole bison into the ship fridge that should last for the trip.
That is not all bad news. Provision is a least on our worry list.
Eventually mouse could eat that cheese, cat eat the mouse and human eat the cat.
Without that bison mass in the fridge the ship is now very light, weight almost nothing indeed.
Nobody check the fridge and when we kick up ship into orbit as usual now almost empty ship went much faster and further that we did expect.
In fact when our friend turn the head lights on the ship to see to road ahead clear , his road lights that should shine a parsec in the front, turned soon into short lights and eventually into tail light, cause our guy was going with the same speed as a light itself....
I am telling you what a bumpy ride it was without the lights thought dark like nite cosmos.
Our communication with the ship become also very expensive and Telstra instead of usual local orbital call started charge us long distance with roaming fee on top.
At some stage we almost lost that communication completely as Telstra technicians guy get a difficulty to roll the fiber cable behind the ship fast enough or what ether they use for communications this days. When they did try microwaves has also problem to keep up with speeding at light speed run away ship.
At some stage he almost bump into something that seems to be completely black hole in the road.
He swivel ship rudders suddenly and managed to turn the ship almost on the dime, just around that nasty hole, catching almost one tire onto the hole.
Luckily that maneuver turned ship 180 degree and she flow back exactly to the same spot that start from.
In about six months our guy friend was happily and healthy back home again . The only sustained damage is possibly our friend expensive Swiss wrist watch. As he turned sharply must bumped into something. As whole trip took few months, friend cosmonaut swear to God that for him was so much enjoyment that feel like minutes only. So quick indeed that he didn't managed to grill that frozen cat by the window when passing local star to eat it on dinner. Cosmic delusion i must say.
Luckily he still have that docket for that expensive Swiss watch and could claim full refund on it.
Bought just before 6 month long trip still show only few hours passed. Must be dead spring or battery flat i guess....
Luckily we avoided speeding ticket by cosmic police too. It seems that our speeding ship vehicle somehow jammed their radar. On one way their radar turned red, then blue then blow up completely.
Must be good tip for Mythbastards. Run your Hayabusa at lighting speed indeed and the road radar don't have a chance to blink even.
If I understand Skid intention correctly he wants to see the BigBang with his naked eye not some bubbling mud in microwave oven. Skid can see everything from 380nm to 740 nm. So please take a calculator, convert his visible spectrum by universe expansion rate and we know at least what we should look for around to show Skid that exploding big thing.
Panda is treacherous enough ( and almost right) that something that was visible once is not longer in our visible spectrum.
So Skid even looking straight into BigBang barrel can't see microwaves.
We can go this way forever. Again Skid will not be able to see with his eyes whole BB from beginning till culmination only that part that produced visible today spectrum (if any).
Funny a bit that Skid could see Xray now with his naked eye like the Batman.
For scientific illustration purposes only:
This is how Big Bang looks today - all in microwaves and wrinkles
This is how Skid wants it ( BigBang) to see _all in bright, live colors and clear
^^^ Macroscien, I'm a bit puzzled...
What did I say to prompt your above post? I think you have mentioned me more in one post than I have ever been mentioned in the entire history of seabreeze...
With all due respect, I think you should spend a bit less time in the sun...
Dark matter is like the shark you cannot see. We know it's there, somewhere.
What if ??
What if the single quant represent entangled in the time tiny microcosm (whole tiny piece of universe)?
External measurement experiment (Dr Slosson Cardboard box experiment)
If that tiny microcosm is moving at the rate, the external measurement (made by us outside) will be exactly the same you wish :
-quant has a mass to cause gravity force,
or
-no he hasn't but accelerate ;
amazingly both seems to be true....
What if our Universe is not expanding at all but this tiny tiny quantum bobbles are constantly expanding filling the space (or shrinking doesn't really matter) ??
OK there is a V-beer (Virtual Beer) for somebody that provide us with solution for that paradox mentioned above !
chronology
1. You posted a plan to build time machine
2. Bad guy build machine and back to kill you to keep secret for himself
Question: How could you be saved ?
c'on that is joke and nobody will kill you for wrong answer ....
