SpaceGrandpa#6827: But it's *theoretically* possible +|A.O|+#3251: converting matter into ```matter*i```? SpaceGrandpa#6827: uh weak interaction, if you could ...
+|A.O|+#3251: for a simple illustration.. for you to accelerate into light speed, you must push matter behind your at a speed bigger than light's speed SpaceGrandpa#6827: If you have mass, you can't go faster than light SpaceGrandpa#6827: You can't even go at the speed of light +|A.O|+#3251: and when your push is maxi...
+|A.O|+#3251: but has the same results as the relativistic situation too SpaceGrandpa#6827: no it does not +|A.O|+#3251: well, here it is.. to stay at a speed, in vacuum, you need no force.. to increase speed, you need to push something back.. you only will increase speed if you manage to push it faster than your curr...
+|A.O|+#3251: now, since momentum is conserved, to push a lighter object back, you need it to be pushed into a higher velocity than light +|A.O|+#3251: which is not possible +|A.O|+#3251: hence.. Newtonian mechanics also proves why one can only approach light speed, but not reach it.. +|A.O|+#3251: this assumes though,...
Red Triangle #53#7873: in the reference frame stationary to the ground you have a lot of momentum Red Triangle #53#7873: because velocity is a relative state +|A.O|+#3251: yes.. +|A.O|+#3251: so? Moist Mayonnaise#5570: @+|A.O|+ so like you were told earlier, in Newtonian mechanics you can always just boost your referen...
+|A.O|+#3251: just need to get my math together +|A.O|+#3251: i know there's a speed limit because the energy required to make that 0.01% of the way to light speed is a limitless energy barrier +|A.O|+#3251: there has to be math supporting it Red Triangle #53#7873: electrodynamics predicts the speed of light. Special r...
Salt#1137: There was an attempt in the 19th century to find something called the aether. If true, it would provide a true inertial reference frame, but more importantly here it would mean that the speed of light is not constant, and can be exceeded. This was done by measuring the time it takes light to bounce off mirro...

lugen#8035: @Augustus yeah I see, you can order it. Or But maybe it's better when you make by your own hands, no need to print. It's cool DIY product.

Hwaet#4348: I see Augustus#0236: the 14", 16", 18", and 20" chinese mirrors generally need human intervention to make them usable at all Augustus#0236: but they still aren't always great Hwaet#4348: so I just buy mirrors that aren't made in China? Augustus#0236: No Augustus#0236: well yes technically Augustus#0236: But...
Augustus#0236: yeah Augustus#0236: I just made a 6" Augustus#0236: I'm about to make another 6", but it's a compound design and the mirror will be quartz instead of glass Augustus#0236: then I'm going to make an 8" Hwaet#4348: > the mirror will be quartz instead of glass damn Augustus#0236: yeah Augustus#0236: I bought...

TheLostVertex#3014: yeah, but that isnt what he said at all Hwaet#4348: well the semi minor axis is slightly bigger than 1 AU Hwaet#4348: you would have a gap of 17.7 km per side SpaceGrandpa#6827: He said you'd have a radius of 1AU SpaceGrandpa#6827: Oh wait lmao SpaceGrandpa#6827: Nevermind SpaceGrandpa#6827: You're ...

SpaceGrandpa#6827: that'd be the correct way of saying that 😉 Augustus#0236: my homemade scope should be "done" by the end of the week Augustus#0236: I ordered the secondary mirror Hwaet#4348: but it's less funny Augustus#0236: just need to put together the spider Augustus#0236: I still have to test to make sure the f...
