Doc Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm considering buying it.. but may rethink it since Einstein was just proven wrong a few days ago and the foundations of modern physics may need to be rethought. Has anyone read it? Link to comment
Joshjrn Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) No such thing was proven. There is evidence that needs to be verified. We're a long way from that. Edited September 26, 2011 by Joshjrn Link to comment
Doc Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) No such thing was proven. There is evidence that needs to be verified. We're a long way from that.Nevertheless, it happened. The neutrino (not really sure how to spell that) was given like, 10 billionth of a second for room for error, and it was 60 billionths of a second faster than that of the speed of light (if I remember correctly from the article I read). For a comparison as to how much that is, if you're sitting right beside me and I look at your face, I'm seeing your face as it was 1 billionth of a second ago due to the distance between my eyes and your face and the time it takes for the light off of your face to reach my eyes (with it traveling at the speed of light).Yes, they will retest it. If proven right, it will also mean that Nickola Tesla was right all along Have you read the book? Edited September 26, 2011 by Doc is Death Link to comment
Mike Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 They still have to retest it. Till then... Link to comment
Doc Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 They still have to retest it. Till then...Yes. We already discussed this bud.Please, bring the topic back to the book, Hyperspace by Michio Kaku Link to comment
Joshjrn Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've not read it, no. Link to comment
Doc Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've not read it, no.It's like $4 used on Amazon or whatever, so I'll probaly get it after I finish reading The Ice Man again Link to comment
Joshjrn Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I just bought it new for like $6. I probably won't read it for quite a while, but you never know. Link to comment
Erador Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hyperspace is a method for FTL without actual relative FTL travel--nuetrino's don't have much to do with that. What it does mean, that neutrino's can travel faster than light, is that we can travel backwards in time. Link to comment

Joshjrn Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Amazon sent me a used copy by accident, so now I'm going to have two copes of the book Link to comment
