| 499998 | 2006-11-18 02:20:00 | That's why I said "simulate". They're not using a physical refractive medium; they're "pumping" the beam. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 499999 | 2006-11-18 02:24:00 | That's why I said "simulate". They're not using a physical refractive medium; they're "pumping" the beam. So, you are suggesting faster light is "Inflation adjusted"? ;) |

I teach physics and I am happy to accept the existance of any phenomena from my students as long as it can be demonstrated (um-safely!) And for SurferJoe: My students are also taught never to discount relationships, no matter how spurious they appear to be on the surface. Michael Jackson may be an abberation of the time space continuim, we just don't know, but as people can apparently see and (sic) hear him we must assume that he is something more physical and related in some way to reality, rather than an unexplained group psychosis. Weeeeee :D |

Weeeeee :D "Any" is quite large I believe. And whose definition of "safely!" is used? Students used to be quite flexible about their/(our) interpretation and I assume that has not changed too much. ;) |

Just think of it like this: Would you eat your own cooking? If you say yes you are either- A good cook and confident of your ability, in which case you deserve to be around a while longer . A bad cook and stupid, in which case you will get sick and it is your own fault . I tend to to think of it in a teaching sense as 'natural de-selection' :D |

Weeeeee :D Trying to plug this in . . . mentally . . . . . . but thanks anyway . . . and trying to not read between the lines . . . . . A question begs to ask . . . What about the "Josephson Wye" effect? And, NO . . . it won't Google at all any more . It's been somehow "pulled" offsite . . . . . . concerning pre-negative stratification and rarification pre-flow characteristics in hydrogenated amorphous silicon ( . google . com/search?num=50&hl=en&hs=cWE&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org . mozilla:en-US:official_s&oi=definer&q=define:hydrogenated+amorphous+silicon&defl=en" target="_blank">www . google . com) Anticipatatory ebb flow in electrons is what he was talking about at a lecture I attended about 7 years ago at CalPoly . Surely this is in co-valance with string theory and velocity exceedance factors in subelectronics applications . It's getting very interesting . I hope the CIA isn't sniffing those slurpers . |

| 500007 | 2006-11-19 16:12:00 | hm.....interesting.......now.....someone here has to know how to get your head around this one..... imagine that you have a physical rod of steel or whatever substance.....it's length is not particularly relevant.....now this rod is 'tapped' (with a hammer or some other tool) on one end.....the 'tap' obviously happens at the other end at the same time ......is this not 'faster than light' ?......is the transmission of the physical movement in the rod not instantaeonous ? or what ? is there some 'give' in the atomic structure of the rod ? does the first atom 'pass on' the tap to the second and etc and if so is there some time gap involved ? |
