gravity follows the inverse square law

I also did the glass experiment. The water held inside the glass until I tilted it and an air bubble got in. This experiment is not about gravity anyway. The water still experiences gravity, it just holds in the glass because of the vacuum. This experiment is about demonstrating the way a space craft moves through our atmosphere by creating a vacuum in front of it that eliminates friction.

Interesting experiment though.

If you had a vehicle with Headlights that traveled at the speed of light. What would happen if you turned your lights on while traveling at the speed of light?

The government has nothing to do with it, neither any control of it and that's why they refuse to discuss it.

Couple of reasons:

1. Every single piece of land on this planet (with the exception of some unhabitable locations) belongs to a government or under some sort of authority (at least they claim so) .

Even space now, the close orbits around Earth, the Hubble telescope and the space station is claimed as a property or ownership by one more governments.
It's only a matter of time when parts of Mars and the Moon begins to be subsidized and ownership declared over it, just to be in control and playing the game of who owns more over another.
It's a silly immature game, no better than two 5 year olds fighting over the toys.
Indeed, we are immature beings, trying to play games over ownership instead of looking at the big picture and see, that we are no more in this universe than an ant-pile in the African savannah.

Look, even if an extraterrestrial spaceship would crash, we would have a bunch of bigot and immature politicans and an army jumping all over and claiming to be "theirs", because it happened to land or crash on a particular spot on this Earth.

I don't blame the aliens if they are out there and dont' want to contact. It would be stupid. Aliens talking to any politician or persident, it would be like, trying to discuss rocket science with a 3 year old. Actually the 3 year old would be better suitable for 1st contact than any politician today.

Then the light would project as normal, The lumens (or candle power) would be the same at 1 mph, as it would be at 100 mph, and so on..

It depends on what theory you want to be answered by. (As we can't do that in practice, we have to be satisfied with a theory.)

According to Einstein, there would be no light projected, according to an observation by a bystander, with relation to whom the car is moving at the light speed.

Of course, there also would be no headlight. That's not quite a "bummer".

Yes, to a driver. We are driving with a speed of light routinely, day to day, and as I can attest, there's nothing wrong with my headlights.

Surprise, surprise! Nope, it wouldn't prevent the water from being affected by a force of gravity.





Looks like this author is really having fun with his audience. But, he forgot to mention the creation of the vacuum. Oops!



Ah, if I had skipped the school, I could have had so much fun with these kind of articles!

didn't say that the experiment doesn't work. i was trying to say that the assumption that it negated gravity was false.

i did this experiment a long time ago. re-read my post.



oh yeah, and quiet's sticking the glass to the table trick
works too. but there is an easy cheat - sliding the glass to
the edge of the table and catching the water as it runs out in a 2nd glass held underneath the table...



but it is funnier if they insist on trying to lift the glass off the center of the table causing a mini flash-flood. for an amusing variation do the upside down glass on the table trick with an extremely large mayonnaise jar or something like that...

That's where jump gates come into play. You know a cinularity or worm whole.

Yes, a spaceship would need some form of Faster Than Light capability to travel from star to star in any kind of reasonable amount of time.

The governmant is working with them
