Why Does Time Slow Down When We Accelerate Near the Speed of Light?

December 12, 2013 /4 Comments/in /by

I've actually been asking this question for a long time, but I'd never bothered to investigate it. Now, when I read The Elegance of the Universe, I saw its explanation. I figured I'd explain it. It won't be easy, but let's see. According to the theory of relativity, the highest speed attainable in the universe is the speed of light. And the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time will slow down for you. Einstein first developed the theory of special relativity. […]

I think it would have looked better if the date were yesterday. Anyway. I'm not usually very familiar with WordPress, but since I started this site, I've been discovering new things. For example, today I installed the gallery plugin. It creates a nice image gallery. I'll try it out here and show you. Let's get started.

Sailing Ships in Space - Sails Unfurled

Since the beginning of space exploration in the last century, humanity has been constantly experimenting with and discovering better methods for space travel. In the last century, human missions have been made to the Moon, and space probes have been sent to Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and many other destinations. The Voyager spacecraft even left the solar system, becoming the first human-made spacecraft to venture outside the solar system.

Yes, it's been a while for me. Frankly, I've missed sharing astronomy images and writing about them. It would be more accurate to say I've missed writing. I've been saving up things to write about for a week, and now I'm bursting with the moment. I couldn't find the right title for these kinds of posts. You've probably noticed. I finally created a subcategory called Astronomy Posts under the Astronomy category, and that's how […]

The Problem of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Theory Not Being Compatible

Yes, these two can't love each other. They fight all the time. Yet, we're always waiting for them to get married and have children. Joking aside, the Big Bang theory (don't let the name "bang" fool you; it's a model of the universe that suddenly began to expand. I'll write about that sometime. Many people know it as a universe that came from nothing or a universe that exploded) is […]

Mission Impossible – Let's Catch Some Particles of Light

December 4, 2013 /0 Comments/in /by

Our question is as follows. Light packets, or photons, travel at a speed of 300,000 km per second. In other words, they cover a distance of 300,000 km per second (if you could travel at that speed, you could circle the Earth seven times in one second or reach the moon in one second). Let's say you're also moving at the speed of light. I said, "Let's say so." After reaching that speed, you start tracking the photons. What happens […]
