A bit deep I know, but gotta wonder where some of the hair brained ideas or theories come from for the explanation of phenomena.

Apparently gravity travels at the speed of light and time stops at the speed of light and inside black holes.

So by that theory all we need to do is mix a bit of gravity with time and a black hole and we get a swirly unknown thingamy jig.

What does have gravity have to do with the speed of light ?

Gravity is the effect mass has on space. It curves it.

As you accelerate under gravity time slows the faster you accelerate. Slows to a stationary observer. For the item under acceleration, time appears normal.

Thanks.

And that’s what keeps planets circulating within their ‘star system ‘ and not spinning off into the distance?

Another one - so if gravity is a function/effect of mass, on its surrounding space - does that mean we all have a gravity field /pull?

Not in quantum mechanics, gravity on the Planck size scale breaks down the relativity laws. There is field effect theory that combines it with elect_omagnetism or the graviton particle. Far as I know there is no complete theory for gravity at the atomic level.

Technically, yes but gravitational pull is only really on large mass objects, the bigger mass, the bigger the pull. If you think along the lines of a mattress surface being time, if you put a tennis ball on it, it doesn't sink into the mattress much but a bowling ball would cause a deep indentation.

Well gravity interacts with energy and momentum, massless objects are affected by gravity.

Your right, gravity plays no place in quantum due to the mass being so impeccably small. I believe electomagnetism works on small scales but I believe there's a cross over between the 2 theories that once certain mass is obtained & works until the mass it too large to be affected & turns to gravity only.

We sit in the field of both small gravitation effect & elect_omagnetism effect. Hence that you'll fall & you can produce static energy

Yup they still haven’t concluded whether that relationship is an actual relationship or just an inverse scale of magnitude.

There are thought to be around 100 billion planets in our galaxy (the Milky Way - admit it, you are now humming "The red car and the blue car had a race....")

There are an estimated One Hundred Billion Galaxies

So that makes 100,000,000,000 x 100,000,000,000 planets in total (1E +22). This is is on the lower estimates

It is therefore hypothesised the existence of 21.6 sextillion planets in the observable universe (I said sex )

Now the universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion years old. If only 0.0001% of those planets could support an atmosphere which was conducive to life and assuming that the earth is truly 4.54 billion years old and that of that 0.0001% of life supporting planets they had a similar rate of development (through evolution) of intelligent life, and depending on the relative size of the planet and the rate of reproduction lets say each habitable planet has 7 Billion people on it, than it is fair to say that:

Yes one day if you are patient, write a good profile, don't be pushy, don't sell your self short, and avoid being arrogant, someone in the observable universe may reply to your "fancy a fuck" message

"

Not really, mass = weight.

Massless objects sit in the quantum realm where general relativity doesn't work (e=mc2) because the partials are too small.

When you combine a whole bunch of particles together you'll get a object of mass but on their own they're just too small. The photo slit experiment is good example for this.

On their own the can go anywhere, through one slit or the other randomly, but keep firing them & they'll create a wave pattern, keep going after that & it'll create a solid looking line, keep going & it'll bulk this line out & start creating mass, then gravity can take effect.

No a single photon is effected by gravitational acceleration. The slit experiment is showing interference or they uncertainty principle as the photons are taking every possible route without actually taking every possible route.

Is that not more based on entanglement theory? Where the 2 are connected & affect each other regardless of distance, time etc.

What happens to one has an equal & opposite effect on the other. Bit like double entry bookkeeping, Credits & debits but balance sheet always equals the same values.

No your right about entanglement. Quantum computing is basically another way of determining computational code. Normally a computer makes decisions in 0s and 1s, quantum computers can exist in both 0 and 1 at the same time. Making them insanely fast at calculating problems as they can exist in both states at the same time.

Yes there is a cut off point which is why general relativity theory doesn't work in the quantum realm.

Quarks is one bit of quantum but I'm really bad at remembering the names of things & people hence my accounts description & in accounts the credits and debits live in the same space much like the in computer description. They're all monetary value instead of 0's & 1's. And can be either a 0 or 1 depending on where they were put, can be positive or negative values too. (just my way of making it a bit easier to understand since I've studied accounts).

Time is relative but again becomes scewed in quantum because the prices are so small. Can look at it similarly to the life spans of different species although back to front. Mice age really fast & only live for about 3 year but a elephant can live for 60yrs or older. Bugs age even faster than mice.

Part of the problem with quantum is the lack of observation that we can see due to the pieces being sooo tiny & the lack of explanation to what "dark matter" actually is. But in the quantum realm time appears to stall to what appears to be a stop or infinite rather than finite. I suppose it's a bit like if you believe in an "after life" or a soul where you leave you present form (human body) & live on forever in a "heaven".

The quantum pieces live forever but can take different forms (reincarnation if you like) therefore never really die just manifested.

That's about as simple as my brain will link it ATM.
