How Many Q3Test Players?

Stupid ass stat. About as accurate as a blind man trying to a beer can off of Geoff\'s head. Hmmm...sounds like a good idea.

Light does move at different speeds depending on the medium it travels through. Through sodium at 20 degrees K, it moves at 60 KMPH.

Electromagnetic particles never move slower or faster. (This may seem like a direct contradiction to what i just said, but keep reading).

Depending on the wavelength of the particle, and the height of the wave, the particle will get from point A to point B in a different amount of time - BUT -

Think of it this way - If you drive down the road in a straight line at 40 KMPH, it will take you one hour to move 40 kilometres. If you drive down the road but continously swerve left and right, it will take you much longer to travel that same 40 KM, EVEN THOUGH your speedometer says you\'re moving at teh same speed.

It is the same with light. Red light has a different wavelength than Blue light, and so they get from point A to point B at a different speed EVEN THOUGH they are still both moving at the speed of light. When light moves through sodium, it has a crazily tall and short wavelength, which makes it travel millions of times slower.

BTW - another thing to think about.
When we get the \"red shift\" from a far away star, the wavelength of the light we recieve is no different (from the pov of the far-away star) but to us, it is smaller.
Everything is relative to everything.

#112 your talking about sound. Light always has the same speed.

Well damn me, thats .03 PERCENT of the world\'s population.... assuming every one of those games was started by a DIFFERENT person.. Good job id pr.

#102, let me get this straight, you brother in law tried it for 10min went and went back to Q3, so now its gotta be bad? Did you ever try it? And why does 10min seem like to little a time to actually judge a game? (and if you did try it, then good....i\'ll feel stupid)

#103, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAA (the 2nd part of your post) :)

-KRAZED-

I know an easy way to exceed the speed of light. Type g_speed 10000000 at the console and voila!

See, I hit both topics at the same time and still managed to sound like a retard. I am truly gifted. :-)

#93: Gonna keep it short, huh?

A wormhole would not technically make you travel faster than light, it would merely make two points in space connect when normally they couldn\'t. You would travel through the wormhole at non-relatavistic velocities, but your journey of a year, say, would bring you billions of light years away. Pretty nifty, and technically possible, but you\'d need to lace it with exotic matter, which only an extremely advanced civilization would be able to manage, due to some crazy stuff going on with them (like negative energy densities in local space). That\'s way far off in the future (not the 2040\'s like Event Horizon would have us believe, more like 3000+). I\'m personally betting on cryo-ships as the space travel method of choice for inter-solar travel once (if) we get to that point, at least for the next few hundred years. Remember, people in the 50\'s thought we would have robot housekeepers and be living on Pluto by now...

Now I\'ve only heard about this and it might be bullshit. But I remember hearing about people saying that UFOs might use magnetic force to travel (no it was not Star Trek :). Because of film showing quick movement from UFOs. Changing direction and speed in unreal ways.

No no no no... It\'s true that when you get closer to the speed of light your mass increases, but this simply entails that you cannot go faster than light. Why? Because the more massive an object is, the more energy it takes to get it close to the speed of light. Even to get a single atomic particle close to the speed of light requires HUGE particle accelerators that consume huge amounts of energy. Now if you realize that a whole spaceship is made up of trillions of atoms...
So as the spaceship gets closer to the speed of light it gets heavier, hence it takes more energy to make it go faster (exponentially more) hence it\'s harder to get it to the speed of light. Since it would have an infinite mass at the speed of light, it would take infinite energy to get there.

So there must be some other way you can travel \"faster than light\" (like wormholes or something).

pfft, I got nothing to say....

Whoa! Just finished watching that \"The Matrix\" flick I downloaded off the net... OK, so I\'m a pirate.

That is Keanu Reaves(I hope thats spelled right) best movie since the \"Excellent Adventures of Bill and Ted\"!

Anyway, it\'s way better than scoping out dead body pics.

Damn, I\'m drunk... Hey will you make me some breakfast?

I bet im more bored... watch this >=)


a/s/l everyone?

Damn, Steve should make me a monitor so I could nuke that dead body shit for him.

Or maybe he should just ban any link to rotten.com
