    Default It's Quiz Time!

    Rules
    1. A question is asked in the field of their choice, and others try to guess it. How ironic is that?
    2. Subjects can include anything, but don't be too specific. (i.e "What's the son of the bass player in Queen's favorite breakfast item?)
    3. If 6 guesses from 6 different people go by without a correct answer, a new question can be asked.
    4. The person who gets the question correct can ask the next one.
    5. DON'T START NEW QUESTIONS UNTIL RULE 3 IS SATISFIED!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I'll start it off easy:

    The creator of the theory of Natural Selection is...

    If a bowling ball was ever to go the speed of light, what would happen to the universe? (according to Einstein's theory of relativity)

    Absolutely nothing. But I believe the ball will have changed in mass, time and place. The faster the ball goes, the lighter it is, and the slower time goes, no?

    Actually, mass increases as velocity increases towards c.

    The bowling balls mass would become infinite requiring infinite energy to propel the ball.

    E= MC�

    This in turn would do nothing to the universe because it is impossible for the ball to go the speed of light.

    Yes, but if it <i>were</i> to go the speed go light, its infinite mass would also cause infinite gravitational acceleration towards it, thereby destroying the entire universe.

    Someone else can go...

    D'oh...

    as velocity increases towards c.
    Well yeah, concidering "c" means lightspeed :p


    But I almost sure it wouldn't destroy the universe. If only I remembered the formulas to prove it. (or not)

    You're full of shit. Einstein never said anything like this in his theory of relativity. I cant go the speed of light so it is irrelevant what would happen. Einstein did not account for anthiny such as that because it is impossible.
