@iRibbit7 We are trying to push a matter wave with mass beyond that of an electromagnetic wave without mass, mass maintains a physical system and this mass works in conjunction with the fabric of space time itself. One needs to understand more about space time and what maintains a matter wave, before one can manipulate matter. In a way one could trick space-time into thinking the matter has no mass and that would allow matter to travel at c, but again it will go no faster than light.

@iRibbit7 Time for me is an atomic effect, the more energy the matter waves create, the larger the wave gets, the slower the waves interact and the more they attract each other. The interaction and attraction of these waves in my opinion is the effect we call time, because i don't think time exists, its nothing more than an atomic effect regulated by the energy or mass of the object itself. Velocity simply increases the energy or mass slowing down what we call time. Time is a measurement of mass

@iRibbit7 EM or light is constant to the fabric of the space time it is in, meaning an increase in the speed of light will be understood and not observed if the density of space time is changed. The speed of light in the changed area will maintain c, but the distances will be changed, but light will or should still maintain an equilibrium or a relative constant in the changed area of space time..Matter on the other hand should reduce of increase its mass energy depending on the density it is in.

Dude ur voice is so boring I don't even want to listen to what you have to say.

@iRibbit7 yes there is, when our parents had sex and their cells created us thats when we came into being, but the question is how did the energy and matter that allowed us to come into being came into being???
for me the hardest question would be how can all that energy and matter that ( according to the big bang theory ) started with a big explosion create conscious beings?? how can consciousness be created by just putting some things together??

You dont go in infinitely far at the speed of light.only as far as the time you travel at the speed of light 300,000 kms per second.

@CupCakeArmy1 It's more a matter of comparing (apples or peaches). In a gas cloud, you'd have to add all the distance of "back and forth's" and then divide it by the time.
So if light appears slower in a medium, the percentage slower than c is the path longer than measured.
-
@iRibbit7 I suppose its a matter of what you are measuring. If we measured the time it took for a photon to go from A to B in an absolute vacuum vs the time it took light to travel through a gas cloud while both distances are equal, it would appear that light does slow down while interacting with matter because the distance it traveled divided by the time it took would give us its speed–which is slower than c.

@iRibbit7 Furthermore, a photon can interact with an atom, and transfer some of its energy to the atom, while readmitting a photon at a longer, lower energy wavelength(typically in the infrared). This is used in the process of photosynthesis as the energy absorbed by the sun's light is used to strip electrons from water molecules(molecules share electrons with the atoms that make them up).
I had trouble watching this video too, although i did try. You really need to talk with more enthusiasm about topics you care about. That's what gets other people interested.
That said, I have a problem with some of the conclusions drawn at 5:51(ish)
-At the speed of light, you can slow down, simply run into something and you will transfer a portion of your energy to that object, slowing you down.
-time is 0 at the speed of light because everything in the universe is relative to that speed.

@CupCakeArmy1
- time is and will probably stay relative (also to itself), so at the speed of light 1. time from Earth appears as 0 for you and 2. your own time is just like nothing changed.
- Consciousness is the reason for physical reality.
- Eternity vs. "infinite time": Time is nothing but a word that is used to describe "change". If change is infinite (or always), then it doesn't require time to happen. It is unconditional. There's no beginning or end. This is why eternity is "no time".

- Consciousness is the reason for physical reality.
*No, conciousness creates your own physical reality, but not all of reality. For stuff happens all the time all around us without our concious awareness of it. But that DOES NOT mean it didnt happen, else we couldn't explain how our own existence came into being.

@CupCakeArmy1 But how did our existence come into being? ... there isn't or will never be an answer to this!
