Re: Scientists stop light, universe's one constant no long such a constant.
Yeah all they need to do now is work on speeding it up.
After-all, if they can have conditions that slow it down, they should be able to work the opposite way to speed it up.Everything is a Riemann sum of a lot of nothing. -

That's pretty cool. Now let's reverse light!

Bah to science. One day some scientist is going to do some meaningless experiment with colliding a proton into a cheese doodle and rip a hole in space and we're all gonna die.
And the Enterprise will do nothing.
The Cyclops having only one eye, needed to seek shelter from the harsh sun. The shadow cast by the spheres gave him temporary respite.

Re: Scientists stop light, universe's one constant no long such a constant.
um... light was never a constant.
Death and taxes, totally constant.
Light, not so much.
(hint: To speed light up, reduce gravitational pull, to slow light down, increase gravitational pull.)
(another hint: Dark Matter doesn't exist. It is simply what happens when light leaves gravity wells and *streches* due to its increased speed)

Gravity doesn't affect the speed of light. In the case of gravitational lensing, space-time itself is curved so light will take a curved path, so it's not like it's being ostensibly "slowed down" as is the case when it passes through a refractive lens (and even then it's still travelling at light speed through the medium, but it appears to be slower because it's busy bouncing back and forth among its constituent atoms until it can finally make its way out).(hint: To speed light up, reduce gravitational pull, to slow light down, increase gravitational pull.)
(another hint: Dark Matter doesn't exist. It is simply what happens when light leaves gravity wells and *streches* due to its increased speed)
And I believe the evidence for dark matter has more to do with discrepancies between the visible mass of galactic clusters and their gravitational interactions being stronger than what visible matter alone can account for.
I've never heard anything about light stretching, and certainly nothing about any significant cosmic-scale gravitational effects thereof. I think you might be confusing light with dark energy, as it does manifest itself in intergalactic space and it does play a major gravitational role (except mostly an anti-gravitational one).

All they had to do was set up a customs and immigration checkpoint for light to have to go through. That's proven very effective for hindering free travel.Comment

Re: Scientists stop light, universe's one constant no long such a constant.
I'm so changing my planetarium show topic to include this.
I wonder what my advisor'll have to say about this when I go to class monday--we'll probably spend the entire class time discussing it.
In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered as a bad move.Comment

Finally, I can reach my ultimate goal. With no light I will become so white that I actually begin to glow in the dark!
