Their understanding of the universe stems from the Dark Ages right after the fall of the great ancient empires. It's from a time when science had hit an all-time low.
For the same reason, Saudi Arabia is so retarded. They are like kindergarteners with beards and machine guns.
For those wondering if some sort of space plane could do something like this
Imagine earth is a fixed point and the rest of the universe is rotating around it. That is in fact how you picture everything right now.
You are moving relative to earth, it is your starting point. At this moment, you have the same momentum as earth. You need to use energy to change your momentum.
i know the science but it still ***** me up to think that you can be standing on an object going
at millions of MPH and not really feel it but you go in a jet at too high a speed and you can black
out.
it just kind of ***** with me you know? **** is complicated.
Acceleration is key. The planet doesn't really accelerate that fast. A jet engine? Oh **** yeah it accelerates. SPEED doesn't cause G-forces, acceleration does.
the fact that those are two different things with different forces also kind of ***** me up.
if you very slowly accelerated does that mean that the top speed would not affect you?
Yeah, pretty much. In space at least.
Think of it this way- if you hit something in space when going real fast, chances are you get injured.
Well, on earth, you can "Hit" air. You're just hitting it constantly. So.... go too fast- well.
so youre saying we can move in a jet thats going millions of miles per second if one capable of it was real and be fine as long as the acceleration to that point was at a moderate pace? cool.
Yeah, pretty much. Speed is irrelevant. That said, space is not a COMPLETE vacuum. There are some molecules drifting around up there. Then there are the gas clouds, nebulae, etc.
Now, TURNING is a form of acceleration. So is slowing down. So a ship moving at that speed would also have to turn and slow down at the same extremely slow rate. This makes it- impractical.
**meowmeowman used "*roll picture*"** **meowmeowman rolled image**This was some thing I thought about a lot when I was younger, then I learnt about relativity.
**sifterthesniperz used "*roll picture*"** **sifterthesniperz rolled image** This is not relativity, I agree, it is related, but this is just the fact that anything moving, also carries a pocket of air with it as it moves.
Do I have to remind you that we have scientists right here in the West that believe fully in creationism and thinks evolution is ******** ?
How about there being more than a few people in the west who think that the Earth is ******* flat?
Do we, all of us, therefore believe that? Does the entire USA denounce evolution?
Because if you say **** like that, then you have to think this as well.
Idiocy exists everywhere. Find some other excuse to be a hateful ass, like the ******* Sharia law since that actually matters.
His question IS valid though. I'm not saying he's right, but what is the science behind this? With satellites I know they are falling in such way that they miss the planet and go into orbit, but down here I've read about long range shooting where the rotation of the earth needs to be taken into account.
I would like to learn, but I don't know what I should be asking.
