- To the innocent person who asked about the differences between
- gravity having an infinite velocity and a velocity = c.
-
- In addition to the rude insulting people and the fighting that goes
- on that nobody could find even in the first grade of the worse elementary
- school in the world, sci.physics is known not to have the best physics.
- Would anybody fly on an airplane made by sci.physics?
-
- If the sun disappeared, and if gravity had an almost infinite velocity,
- the gravitational field would disappear with the sun. If gravity moves
- at c, it would take 8 minutes.
-
- There are also differences between the shape and energy of the gravitational
- field around things depending on if gravity travels at an almost infinite
- velocity or c. For example there is a difference between the gravitational
- field of an electron antielectron and a photon. Since a photon travels
- at c, and since it emits gravity in all directions, if gravity moves at
- c, the gravity emitted in front of the photon would be kind of moving with
- photon. Nobody in front of the photon would see the gravity until they saw
- the photon. Then they would get hit with the photon and the gravity at 1
- time. If the photon did not change directions and if the photon did not
- interact with anything over a period of time, there would be a large amount
- of momentum. The gravitons would also emit gravitons, some in the forward
- direction. If gravitons travel faster than c, there would be a gravitational
- field in front of the photon. What would be the speed of gravitons are if
- they are suppose to travel at c, but they are emitted in the opposite
- direction of the photon?
-
- The same thing applies to neutrino scattering. The neutrino is suppose to
- be moving a little slower than c, at c, or in my opinion a little faster than
- c. It emits ws and zs. About 1/2 of the time, in the forward direction, the
- ws and zs are moving faster than c. Do they only scatter backward? People
- say that ws and zs are virtual particles, but you would fly on a virtual
- airplane, even a virtual airplane made by sci.physics?
