Fear, i believe the word ur looking for is parasite. Viri (the plural of virus, and also the plural latin word for man :D ) are basically particles which have not been classified as either living or non living. They cannot perform any functions of the living on their own, but arent quite inanimate :p .

I believe that Dan Hibiki is hitting on an interesting point. How can one appear, to observers, to go the speed of light, when the faster he goes, the slower time goes? Most likely the rate at which time slows down is exponential, meaning that the higher the speed, the faster time is slowing down.
So theoretically, time would slow down enough at the speed of light so u would not appear to go the speed of light.


as for you skeptics about this time slowing down thing, Humans are arrogant, and that is why u are baffled. Humans will never be able to understand things, and that is because we are human.


[b:post_uid1]FOR EXAMPLE: say a person can walk 5 mph. a train can go 300 mph. so a person walking on a train would go 305 mph relative to observers. a beam of light travels at 186,000 mps. So, now put a lantern on top of that train. How fast does the beam of light go, relative to observers? NOT 186,000 mps+300 mph, but rather 186,000 mps. time has slowed down.[/b:post_uid1]

[quote:post_uid0="itssounfair"]It may be a miniscule amount, but that dosn't deny us existence. Even if something is infinitely small, it is still there.[/quote]
I didn't say it denied our existence. What I DID say, was that we are just matter to other matter. We exist as beings, but your computer in front of you does not exist when you compare it to other matter. It is just space.

Oops sorry. Delete this post please.

(sorry for doubling, but)
Silly Viper. The lamp is on top of the train. When we say speed of light, we mean that the light ITSELF is traveling at that speed, the light is not traveling with the train inside the lamp (even though it probably is inside of it for a little bit). The train would not make any difference at all. Besides, usually trains only go 40 miles an hour, not 300. Arrogance has nothing to do with it. It is just that humans sometimes don't have the capacity to comprehend some things. For example: At the center of the universe, there is said to be a black hole containing a neutron star. This used to be what contained all of the universe before the big bang. Another example: Other organisms are oblivious to us because they don't know we exist. What if we are oblivious to some bigger or smaller universe. There could be a tiny universe in your french fry or we could be tiny organisms in another huge realm. What is the universe contained in? These questions we will probably never comprehend in our brief lifetime.

I dont think there is a black hole at the center of the universe, but I know that there is a black hole in every single galaxy in the universe. And that there is a relationship between the size of the black hole and the size of the galaxy, the bigger the galaxy-the bigger the black hole. There is a black hole in our milky way galaxy that has recently become active again.

Ah, but one must remember that with every black hole, there is a white hole somewhere that expels out whatever it sucks in. So, the question shouldn't be if there is a black hole at the center, but rather, if there is, where would the wormhole connecting it to the white hole expel it? For if it's at the center, it's only possible for it to be connected to a separate universe, in which case, the black hole would only be the center of a universe, not the universe.

SERIOUS TO TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT YOU WOULD NEED A BODY THAT COULD TAKE HIGH LEVELS NEWTON G's. MEANING GRAVITY. SUCH AN ACCLARATION WOULD CAUSE A HUMAN BEING TO DETEARTE. (SO THE FORUMALA FOR MOTION IS MASS TIMES ACCLERATION) ALSO INTERIA WOULD HVE TO BE ON YOUR SIDE. THAT IS A TOUCHING SUBJECT. ;)

OH UNIVERSE MATTERS OK! A SUPER NOVA OFTEN IS THE CAUSE OF BLACK HOLES. THE STAGE BEFORE THE BLACK HOLE IS THE WHITE DRAWF. WHICH HAS AMAZING HIGH GRAVITY.
SCIENTIST GUESS TH SUN WILL INPLODE AN FROM A GAINT BLACK HOLE THAT WILL SUCK IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. BUT THIS EVENT IS FAR OFF. IN ABOUT 3.4672222......TRILLION YEARS THIS FUTURE WILL BE. BUT BY THEN THE WORLD POPULTION WILL HAVE DIED OUT FROM THE SAME EVENT THAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS ,OR POLUATION ,OR MAYBE THE POEPLE WILL MOVE TO ANOTHER PLANET. THINK ABOUT IT A REAL LIVE STAR TREK. :p

On the sibject of Black and White holes So basicly there is or hypotheticly speaking another universe paralel to ours and again hypotheticly Black holes would be the gateway to another dimension in which would be the total opposite of ours like for example other alien life forms would be on Earth and we would be the ones observing it and abducting people for research. So if we were able to survive the straining effects of a black hole and exit out the white hole safely we would be able to meet different intellegent life yet we would be stuck there because white holes only shoot out the exit into the other universe but lets just say there are black holes in that dimesion too so in actuality these extraterestrials could be comeing from a white hole in our universe so basicly these Black and White holes are more like gateways to and from our dimension of course this is only a theory. So.........
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK? :D :p

Well said!! :0 , but sounds like the plot to the movie "THE ONE" ???
