What is......
 
the speed of dark?

surflvr911sc 11-25-2003 08:30 PM

OOOOOW MY HEAD!

Don't do that right after a thread like ERam!

CarreraS2 11-25-2003 08:56 PM

Infinity plus one is still infinity,
but what is infinity minus one? Has to be something less than infinity, right?
Seriously, I've been wondering.

nostatic 11-25-2003 09:19 PM

-3x10^8 m/s

either that or a google. Let me ask my 7 year old...

Eric Coffey 11-25-2003 11:52 PM

speed of dark = sound of silence, squared

:D

Eric Coffey 11-25-2003 11:55 PM

Actually, if you think about it, the speed of dark is anything faster than the speed of light!

brawlins 11-26-2003 12:42 AM

Knew a guy who was so fast that he could flip off the lights and get in bed before it got dark.

Infinity minus one is infinity. There are several levels of infinity, by the way. (We would all agree that the set of all integers is less in size than the set of all real numbers - Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers - but yet both are infinite). From my old math training, it seems like I recall the levels of infinity being Aleph 0, Aleph 1, etc. If I get motivated, I'll see if I can find out any more from some old math books.

The Dark has no speed. You wouldn't even know you were in the dark unless there were light. It takes light to differenciate the dark.

Shift to spiritual point - Jesus said to his followers - "you are the light of the world". By its mere presence, good drowns out evil (following the analogy of light drowning out darkness). So, stand up for what is right!

Dantilla 11-26-2003 07:06 AM

Yes, there are different levels of Infinity, just as there are different levels of Accura and Lexus.

Is it time for you to take another pill?

island911 11-26-2003 07:51 PM

If a camera flashes in a dark room, the begining of the flash (of light) will travel at the same speed as the last bit of of light in the flash.
SO, since the absence of light is "dark". . . it follows that light and dark will travel at the same speed.

V(dark)=C

Eric Coffey 11-26-2003 08:21 PM

If you travel at any speed greater than the speed of light, away from a single light source, it would be dark though wouldn't it?



Just think, if we devote as much time an enery to this thread as we did to the eRam thread, we might be able to figure out time travel!

:D

The Amazing Zanick already patented it; he sells it a dime per trip.

Ignore the man behind the curtain.

dd74 11-26-2003 09:47 PM

Okay, I can figure this out...no I can't...

Wait, alright. Dark: dark has no speed. It's an absorbant. It exists as a void and voids don't move. Things fall into voids, and those things are at speed.

Black holes and such...

Nope; Dark is the absence of light energy.

. . and so now, dd74; if you learned anything from the amazing zanick, you should refute my assertion by telling me I'm wrong, because you know the guy who designed & invented the Acme "Portable-Hole" AND the Acme "Paint-on Tunnel". . . .both based on the proper equations pertaining to "dark". ;)

nostatic 11-27-2003 08:00 AM

Island you're wrong.

E=mc^2
E=hv

Therefore E=E. But we all know from the 4th law of thermodynamics that the energy of the universe is tied to entropy, enthalpy, and enharmonic convergence, so E=(0.5)E*g/G^gG

See? You're wrong. And as my good friend and parter engineer David St. Hubins said in his presentation to the 42nd annual Irreproducible Results Symposium:

"Well, I don't, I don't really think that the end can be assessed...uh as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like, it's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe you say the...if the universe is indeed infinite then how what does that mean? How far is is t...is all the way and then if it stops what's stoppin' it and what's behind what's stoppin' it, so what's the end, you know, is my...question to you.... "

DonDavis 11-27-2003 08:24 AM

Oh yeah? Well if you really want your head to hurt, figure this one out.

If a man speaks in a forest and a woman is not there to hear him.....is he still wrong? :confused:

I'll be in the bathroom. I gotta go see a guy about a horse.

Is that a quote from Fitty-cent?

As far as Acme products go, yes, they were designed in part to defy dimensions and engage parallel universes. In most cases this only partially worked when utilized by squab-hungry geniuses.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT :mad:. . .maybe if you had a patent, it would all be true. :D

"42nd annual Irreproducible Results Symposium" -LOL-

"In most cases this only partially worked when utilized by squab-hungry geniuses."
hahaha. . . Can someone morph Baghdad-Bob with Wile E. Coyote' so we know who we're talking to, on that shEEp-Ram there?

Already done: when either did anything, their actions were always followed with a "BOOM!"

island911 11-27-2003 09:09 AM

LOL - good one:D

though the difference, between the two, that I was thinking of is that Wile E. Coyote' only sold himself on the half-baked ideas, where Baghdad-Bob (and others, eh-em) expect to sell the world on their half-baked ideas.

As usual, you don't provide any equations to back up your answer. An "F" for you. Since you are so smart, then answer this basic physics question...and until you answer I will hold the board hostage since I am the most important person in the world:

A train leaves Albequerque at 10AM traveling 60mph heading due north. At the same time, a monkey falls out of a tree while a hunter tried to shoot it with an arrow. Given that, what will the passenger in row 42A order from the dining cart?

WELL?!?!?! WE'RE WAITING!!!!!

nostatic 11-27-2003 09:20 AM

SEE! No answer. Dolt-land 911 can't even answer a basic question. What a fraud. I sent his first equations to my friend Bill Crass and he said "who they hell are you, and why are you bothering me?" That PROVES that Dolt-land doesn't know what he's talking about.

WELL? Where's your answer. Show your work.

nostatic 11-27-2003 09:22 AM

This is so simple a child could solve it with poop in his pants. But the geniuses here have no clue. Here's a hint: the waiter in the dining car has a net 1Psi pressure *and* a 1Psi vacuum.

We're all waiting smarty pantaloons...

nostatic 11-27-2003 09:24 AM

MORE PROOF! THe silence is proof that you don't know what you're talking about, and absolute proof that I am right. And Wright.

One more clue, and show your work:

It was NOT Col. Mustard with a candlestick.

COME ON! Time's a wastin'. When you answer then I will allow this thread to be closed.

nostatic 11-27-2003 09:26 AM

Heathen! I knew you didn't know what I knew to be that which is known to me.

F=ma
PV=nRT
14*C=GT/aV where C=shots of Cuervo, GT=good time and aV=amount vomited.

With that, it is obvious that my device sucks *and* blows. A child could solve it.

Where is your answer?

nostatic 11-27-2003 09:28 AM

Just as I knew...your silence tells everyone that you have gone home with your tail between your legs to lick your wounds and furrow your brow. Dolt-land has left the building.

WE'RE WAITING!!!!!!

Moneyguy1 11-27-2003 10:04 AM

Nostatic..You are correct. It was Miss Scarlet in the bedroom with a dildo.

island911 11-27-2003 10:13 AM

Bob, are you sure she could do it with that? . . .was it AC or DC, and what was the current draw? :D

dd74 11-27-2003 10:28 AM

Monkey brains? With potatoes au gratin? Is the train car in question first class?

DonDavis 11-27-2003 11:14 AM

Man this is good stuff.

Nostatic+4 Shots of Patron Silver * #farts at a taco stand = 42

No, wait, lemme tink for sec.

OOO OOOH I got it! Obiviously the answer is 911.:D :D

Thank you, thank you! Please drive thru!!

nostatic 11-27-2003 11:23 AM

Look, I hold the patent on the diesel vibrator, so AC or DC is irrelevant. It sill sucks and blows 1Psi. As I suspected, you dodged the question. Since dd74 wasn't rude I will address his question. He wasn't in first class, but his baggage was. But it was on a different train. Get it? I didn't think you did. It is so obvious that a child would be able to answer.

Dolt-land we are still waiting. Laughing is not an excuse. It is only a symptom of what you don't know, because I know you don't know the knowing stuff I know.

TIME'S SHORT. DON'T DELAY. ALL YOUR ANSWERS ARE OURS!

dd74 11-27-2003 12:12 PM

Okay, I'll check on this thread later tonight after I've had enough to drink that I will be acting like a child - and thus thinking like one. :)

Your stalling tactics will not help, since you do not know the answer. And you're not a racer either.

I have presented nothing but facts upon facts, and nobody answers the question except me. Nobody asks the question but me. Nobody questions like me, and nobody answers like me. But enough about me...what do you think of me?

Since a child can answer this, maybe you should drink like one. Here is another hint:

asdf=hjkl
qwert=yuiop
YRU!=(D)um^2

Come one...my mother could answer this, and she's dead. But I was out of town when that happened. On a train. To Albequerque. See how this all fits together? Of course you don't...becuase you're not who you say you are, and don't know what you think you are, and can't think what you don't know you were.

STILL WAITING

Now that is just plain ridiculous. You only fart *after* leaving the taco stand. Your formula is wrong, and my engineer partner says so. I forwarded him this thread and he said, "look, I don't know who you are but quit sending me this nonsense or I'll get a restraining order."

The answer is much closer to 928, but only for a non-compressible fluid. Oil doesn't count, and if you include that in your calculations you are just showing how much you don't know.

And as far as driving through,here is another test for you: if you use lighter wheels, will it cost less at the window?

SHOW YOUR WORK!!!

Now I see where you are headed. Lemme consult with the beer tap in my living room and later, I'll have not only the answer, but I'll show what I found whilst meeting with the aforementioned "man about a horse".

Good DAY, sir!


Oh, the thing about the wheels? ...... Well, DUH!

And what does killing a penguin have to do with getting arrested on 6 continents?

OPUS HAS RETURNED TO THE BUILDING!

Overpaid Slacker 11-27-2003 03:46 PM

If dark is nothing, how can it have a speed? It's like the old "vacuums don't suck (b/c they're the absence of everything, so they can't 'do' anything) high pressure pushes" crap they teach you in ME.

Me & a bunch of other nerds tried to calculate the speed of darkons one evening after hitting the hookah pretty hard. Cthulhu showed up and told us to knock it off.

Here's my question -- if you had a cube/box, the interior of which was made up of perfectly efficient mirrors, could you trap light inside? If you threw such a box into a dark room and the box shattered, would you get a blast of light when the trapped light escaped - like a light grenade? Useful as a vampire-hunting tool...

Nostatic's equations look like cartoon swearing after tryptophan and massive carbohydrate doses. As a practicing Atkins disciple, I went down like a darted elephant after two lbs of mashed potatoes and three helpings of mom's stuffing today.

Oh -- and there is no dining cart.
