Have you ever called a physics hotline?

I have never had a physics problem but goodlord girl you have beautiful nipples!
 
It don't matter to me. I'd take a quantum leap of faith and figure things out myself.

Dude, i'm writing that one down. That's some pretty smooth shit!
 
I'm still trying to figure out of Hawking's time relevance shift displacement theory is caused by SaraPet's AV!;)
 
I wish I could call one.

My roommate and I are having an argument about Einstein. He thinks Einstein didn't believe in the possibilities of faster-than-light and time travel. I'm awful damn sure that he did.

I recall reading that Einstein didn't believe in faster than light travel, i.e., time travel. If I recall correctly, once he understood the implications of modern physics (Quantum Theory), he initially rejected it. Not because his mathematics refuted it, but mostly because it required a totally new way of looking at physics and our universe based on his original way of thinking it made absolutely no sense (overly simplified). I think eventually though, a few years before his passing, he started to accepting the implications of Quantum Physics.
 
yes once and I found out I should have saved my money nothing hapened that I was told would happen

Hmm. Hadn't heard the last part. I was under the impression that Einstein did reject faster than light travel because his math prohibited it.

Not disputing you because toward the end of his life was when he began to explore the possibility of wormholes and multiple universes but I didn't know he acknowledged the possibility of faster than light travel.


Einstein. I like that guy a lot. I'm going to make him my next learning project.

hee hee, sorry I wasn't around when this thread got started - I used to work on a physics hotline!

well ok it was the Homework Hotline; it was a number kids could call to get help with their homework, I did it when I was a student-teacher. It was the beginning of my career as the Science Lady.

The thing I read, and damned if I can remember what it was, but it was essentially a Quantum Physics For Dummies kind of book, said that Einstein's view of quantum reality was more "normal" than most everybody else's, like, say, Niels Bohr. I think the term used for Einstein was "neorealist." But anyway, as a tradeoff for the rest of the theory's "realism," neorealism had one big radical idea: faster-than-light travel. This doesn't necessarily mean time travel, but it opens up the possibility.
