imagine you travelled in one direction within the observable 3 dimensions.

you are travelling so fast that time is not an issue, and you would keep travelling through things in a single direction. THere is never the need to alter your course.

Any thoughts or ideas on where you would end up?

My guess is that you would end up exactly where you were, only you would be flipped around.. your your left would be your right, your right would be your left.

Regardless of how cracked out that sounds... anyone have any thoughts?

 

that's assuming you stop somewhere and know where to stop to end up where u started...

if time was no issue then you would be everywhere from where you started to where you end up... if that makes any sense..

in all times in all places...

 

you are only travelling in one direction... never turning..

 

my thoughts are that this is a strange thread

 

You wouldn't stop, if the space is unlimited.

 

you will keep going in a loop and never arrive anywhere, mathematically infinity reaches negative infinity at infinity, and it just loops itself into infinity again towards negative infinity

assuming a 3-axis cartesian system, if you stop, you will always be at an arbitrary coordinate (x,y,z) whatever it happens to be in that case, but if you just keep going, you will never arrive anywhere as infinity has no bounds

 

You will be Buds Light Year.

"To infinity and beyond!"

 

The universe is always expanding at the speed of light. Given the fact that you are travelling as fast as, or in this case, we can assume faster than light, you will be creating "space" yourself.

 

you would end up on a blade of grass in central park

 

you can't travel faster than light according to our current understanding of physics.

also, light has a head start on you already if you start from earth, unless you somehow manage to start from the known bound and accelerate fast enough to catch up to light in order to be rigt with it...

 

I have no clue, and its all confusing to me, so letsj ust leave it at that. Too complicated for the ginos head.

 

I remember my physic teacher once announced that a group of scientists discovered a substance that would travel at the speed of light. This substance cannot exist on its own, as a matter of fact, it has an exact identical partner that is always travelling to the opposite direction. Now the most important part is that these 2 substances are able to communicate with each other. If each of them are travelling to the opposite direction at the speed of light, the medium in which they communicate must be transmitted faster than the speed of light.

 

youd never stop for sure

 

if travelling at lightspeed u would continue to until the end of time, which would be determined by the universe contracting on itself.

time cannot be ignored in this question because space and time are 1 in the same thing when we look at it on a "universal" level.

if u exceed light speed and reach the edge of the expanding universe you will prolly be hitting like a wall i guess considering that u are a spacial body.

 

When you surpass the speed of light, you would have created space yourself.

 

the universe is infinite...

 

basically at light speed distances contract, for instances here to the sun would be like a quater mile. and here to the moon would be like 1m.

but to my understanding, these distances that seem shorter are only what you "see" b'cos vision is based on light. therefore at lightspeed you still see things but they will be smaller/shorter/compressed.

now when exceding light speed, everything will turn to mush according to your eyes.
but does that mean that you will leave the known space you were in and create your own? i dunno, yet.

 

These are very interesting topics indeed.
If I am not studying for my OB exam tomorrow I will probably do some intensive research into the subject.

Have you heard of the twins paradox?

 

u gotta be phuckin kidding me.....

 

The Twin paradox (an assumption made by scientists) basically states that if 2 identical twins, with one launched into space, and one staying on Earth, and after the one, who was launched into space, has travelled a certain number of distance at a particularly high speed (this has to be very fast), comes back into Earth. The one who was launched into space would be younger than the one who stayed on Earth. I do not know in what regard or dimension they went about measuring the difference in age between the twins (whether it is their physical appearance or their chemical compositions that have shown the aging process).

Will revisit on Sunday when exams are over with
