  • Some say nothing can go faster than the speed of light. I disagree. Glen Melnik is able to loose track of a honors physics lecture and switch to a story about him riding a motorcycle at least five times faster than the speed of light.

  • @jaguarclaw dude u think ur the only one who thought of this....he was 'Einstein' dont u think he and many numerous phycists thought of this and accepted his theory widout complain..?

  • @TheCzechMexican *no f-in chocolate =P

  • holy crap, this guy teaches my honors physics class

    This ones for you melnek.

    How many Fs are in chocolate

    Theres to f-in chocolate

  • hmm intersting , thanks for answering me

  • sure. gamma has no units, so whatever unit you use for one T, the other T will have that same unit. in this situation he can use whatever unit of time he wants. in different situations, years is useful because problems will involve lightyears, in which case years is necessary.

  • anybody to answer my question ??

  • really good , i actually enjoyed it :P

    but since when in physics time is written by years ??

    just a question ...
