After accelerating at 1g with a ramjet fusion starship for eleven years, according to clocks inside the ship, the spacecraft would reach the Pleiades cluster 400 light years away. I love time dilation.
I realized a while ago that because of how time [I]is[/I], we will live through notable time periods again, only differently. In the year 2060, it'll feel very futuristic, however to people living in the year 2113 for example, it'll be referred to as the 60's, and it'll feel entirely culturally different and technologically in-advanced. This is exactly how people felt in 1960. Also how, to people living in 2113, the year 2013 will feel like how we think of the early 20th century, and If you where to take a picture today, it could be looked upon in the future in the same way we see photographs from 1910. You're making history [I]right now[/I], we're experiencing an extremely young internet that people down the line will only be able to reminisce about.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;39338074]They don't have mass, but "no mass = no gravity" is only true from a Newtonian perspective. (i.e. not true at all) Photons have energy, which contributes to the stress-energy tensor of spacetime, which curves space and causes gravitation.[/QUOTE] Surely a moving photon has mass though? And as photons can only exist if they are moving, then they always have mass. And isn't mass purely defined on interaction? If photons relationship with gravity and matter follows the same patterns as particles we know have mass, then surely they have mass to? I'm confused

They have momentum, though. A photon doesn't have all the same properties as a massive particle. For instance, they move at the speed of light. Pretty much all of relativity is about how massive particles cannot travel at c.

[QUOTE=Dacheet;39309658]Henry Tandey was a soldier for the British during WWI. In 1914, he came across a wounded German soldier. Tandey chose not to shootout of respect. The German soldier saw him lower his rifle and nodded his thanks before wandering off. That soldier? Adolph Motherfucking Hitler. Hitler later saw a newspaper report about Tandey being awarded the VC (in October 1918, whilst serving with the 5th Battalion Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment), recognized him, and kept the clipping. Hitler also wrote the regiment for a large version of a painting depicting the scene in 1937. When he was given it, he wrote 'I beg to acknowledge your friendly gift which has been sent to Berlin through the good offices of Dr. Schwend. The Führer is naturally very interested in things connected with his own war experiences, and he was obviously moved when I showed him the photograph and explained the thought which you had in causing it to be sent to him. He has directed me to send you his best thanks for your friendly gift which is so rich in memories.' Later when asked about the painting, he said "that man came so near to killing me that I thought I should never see Germany again; Providence saved me from such devilishly accurate fire as those English boys were aiming at us."[/QUOTE] So much of Hitler's life was pure coincidence and luck. It's just surreal to think that, if one tiny thing had changed, the Second World War (and basically every war ever) might never have happened.

50 years ago, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, second-in-command Vasilli Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused to agree with his Captain's order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships and setting off what might well have been a terminal superpower nuclear war. The US had been dropping depth charges near the submarine in an attempt to force it to surface, unaware it was carrying nuclear arms. The Soviet officers, who had lost radio contact with Moscow, concluded that World War 3 had begun, and 2 of the officers agreed to 'blast the warships out of the water'. Arkhipov refused to agree - unanimous consent of 3 officers was required His story is finally being told - the BBC is airing a documentary on it. Raise a glass to Vasilli Arkhipov - the Man Who Saved the World. [img]http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/295388_333547160083704_811693430_n.jpg[/img]
