twincityhackerLast Thought from History and Philosophy of Science Class:
As an ship increases in speed going towards the speed of light, the ship ( and the people on that object ) would experience slower time and have shorter length than another person not on the ship.
Then I started fiddling with the idea that universal expansion isn't that a there's a force in the universe that was pushing the galaxies apart and that force was accelerating, but it was the fact that the universe as a whole was slowing down, and becoming longer.
The reason that the expansion can be observed is while the universe is all going at the same speed, it takes so long to see that far out that we can observe the difference in speed from billions of years ago and today.
I have nothing to test, so it's not really science, but it's something to think of. Though I think it could be tested - though it would require moving someone at the speed of light to figure out what can be seen!
And my morphology professor is the best. Not only did he teach a fun subject, and make it interesting, but he told me where I can buy Aerobars in Bloomington!
