Dru Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 How many calories am I burning to race at 23,000 mph? Am I setting A NEW SPEED RECORD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 How many calories am I burning to race at 23,000 mph? Am I setting A NEW SPEED RECORD? Â Gravitational potential energy is doing all of that work. no work = no calories burned = fatass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbb Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 did you notice that you're also accelerating at 9.8 m/s/s????!!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have the potential to accelerate, but currently my velocity is unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 You are accelerating now in space. Velocity = speed and direction. Your direction is changing constantly though space. However, you are still on Earth while you spray, so relative to the Earth, you're not accelerating. Â This thread is going to drift to spacetime metrics and light cones....I just know it!

Bill_Simpkins Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 However if the Earth is the center of the Universe (barf), you may not be accelerating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archenemy Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have the potential to accelerate, but currently my velocity is unchanged. Are you sure it's unchanged? You are only a potential until measured, so you'd better check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Simpkins Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 If you make a redshift map of the known universe, you can quickly tell that we are part of the spreading debris of an explosion, not at the source position of the debris. It is impossible for each person to be the at the universeal "redshift null" at the same time, since the source is a singular point in space.

Â Â On the contrary, there is no center or singular point. All points are expanding relative to each other because space itself is expanding. The only way there could be a point is if space had existed before the bang, which it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
