RANDOMOSITIES THAT I THINK ARE COOL

THING #1: TIME.

I love thinking about time. Time is something that is unchangeable thus far. Time is infinite and the time that we are around is finite. Time works differently in different perspectives. Ever wondered why you can never swat a fly?? That is because for them time is moving faster. By this I mean a few seconds for us humans could be half a minute for them. To flies we are enormous and slow. This is all relativity and this knowledge is comparable to the tallest drop of water turning to ice on an iceberg.

There are theoretical particles called "tachyons". These particles are ones that move faster than light, which as of right now is the confirmed universal speed limit. It is theorized that if we were able to partially control tachyons then we would be able to see the future. The theory is that moving faster than light is the key to traveling through time. Since they move faster than light you would only see two images of it. A premiere of it arriving, and a afterimage of it going away. Learn more about tachyons here.

This is a picture of a tachyon. I don't understand it either so bear with me. Kudos to here for creating this image.

Another bit about relativity is that the closer you are to a black hole, the faster time will be moving relative to everyone else. This theory is shown in the movie "Interstellar" when they have to travel to a planet that orbits a black hole for 1 hour. By the time they get back to the ship, the character who stayed on the ship says about 7 years has passed. Surely this can't be possible right? Wrong. This theory is really haze and I don't quite understand it yet but it has something to do with gravity.

THING #2: GRAVITY

Gravity is a force everyone is familiar with. We all live with it and accept that it's there. We know that planets and stars have gravitational fields and somewhere there's a source and that the farther away you get from the source the less effect gravity will have on you. However nobody knows how it works and how to manipulate it. Don't get me wrong. We know how to explain in great detail how it affects things. But we only have theories about what causes it. One theory is: the more mass you have the more gravity you emit. That's really the only theory that I know of so I'm just going to stop this post here and let you think about time and gravity and if I've inspired you to want to learn something new because it interests you then that's amazing.

Later Flies!
