So I just realised why einstein's thing works
Ladios:
So everyone knows E=MC2. My science teachers always told me that this means the faster you go the more massive you become.
I just accepted it as a fact, I knew it was probably right, but I didn't understand why.
Now I do, cause as the kinetic energy increases, the total energy increases. This means the other side of the equation needs to change but as the speed of light is a constant, the mass has to increase.
Yes I know, mock me as you will, but I don't give a stuff. The fact that no one made the connection for me and that I did so myself I think actually shows that I have some reasoning skills or whatever...
Wait a minute... that seems wrong... as you go faster your energy, including potential energy remains the same, as the potential energy is merely converted into kinetic energy... you have the potential to move in any direction at any time, but say having a giant rocket strapped to your back increases your potential in one direction... hmm... so does this mean you don't gain mass?
If that is true, that means it would be possible to reach the speed of light, but it isn't... forget now I just confused myself further...

i lol'd at that part :cookieMonster:

Ask Einstien... oh wait he's dead. :(

I remember Bisjac (I think?) saying that there was a certain algorithm that Minesweeper uses that, once memorized, makes it extremely easy to beat.

there is. There's also an algorithm that proves 2+2=5 somewhere on the web. The Star Trek Delta is the embodiment of Einstein's theory of space time relativity.
