« on: February 06, 2014, 09:01:44 AM »
Just wondering, how many of you have taken first year physics, let alone advanced physics? And how many of you are reading stuff on Wikipedia and then posting here (or just plain and simply are making these things up)?

« on: February 06, 2014, 03:01:12 AM »i believe it was, that everything has mass.That's bad logic. Speed doesn't require mass, it just requires any thing (even a theoretical mass-less box) move a certain distance over a certain amount of time relative to something else. Mass doesn't not factor into it.
if it can be measured to travel in a speed (light is), then it needs mass lol

« on: February 06, 2014, 01:55:45 AM »It does. The higgs-boson particle (also known as the God particle) is the particle responsible for giving all objects mass. Higgs fields are attracted to each other which is what creates force between two objects, better known as gravity. If something is affected by gravity (as light is) it must have a Higgs field and thus must have mass.Heard of spacetime? It is a way of explaining gravity that sticks with the idea of light lacking mass altogether.

« on: February 06, 2014, 01:22:27 AM »i agree that light is techincally mass-less, but this is kind of poor justification since if light DID bend towards the ground, you'd never be able to see it actually occur since it's moving so quickly. and techincally, gravity bends the entirety of space-time, so regardless of mass, light is still affected by gravity.Finally, someone who tells it like it is. No, light has no mass, but it is affected by gravity because it travels along through spacetime, just like everything else. When gravity bends the spacetime, the light bends with it.
aka black holes, which are also bends in space-time but are further complicated in ways that i still can't quite wrap my head around.
yo mamma so fat, she makes black holes jealous of how light bends around her.
As for the solar sails, the light may be mass-less, but it still has energy. Knowing this, I'm fairly certain the sails convert the non-kinetic energy of light into kinetic energy to move the sails.
However, Hugums makes a valid point - this is all still too theoretical to say for sure whether or not light has mass. However, according to what we know and can observe in the present, it does not.

Found a new drawing app for my iPod that saves the drawings as separate projects, automatically. :,)
WIP art using said app. Probably gonna be a shark 'cause they're 2cool4schools (lol puns).
(Weird - the only area it let's me draw in is this square that barely fits around the character, yet it exports as this huge rectangle...) Never mind, it seems there's a tool that allows me to drag the art board around. Heh.
