Does anyone know?

The speed of the sneeze is only on of the 3 variables. There is also mass of the sneeze and the mass of the person. If you sneeze small amounts of gas only, you don't as much. It all depends on how much is being shoved away from you.

Also, another thing that matter is your mass. You have to move your ENTIRE mass. A large person has to more more mass. You have a ratio between the mass of the propellant (the sneeze), and the person.

The heavy person with a small sneeze will accelerate the slowest, and the small person with a large sneeze will accelerate the quickest.

The small sneeze/small person and the large sneeze/large person will be in the middle.

as you approach the speed of light, time elapses faster.

Isn't it the faster you go, the slower time goes?
I just want to make sure....

No, time goes faster, pushing you foward in time.

Causing time to go slower, or to go backwards is impossible. Unless you're taking the 'wormhole' theory into consideration...but thats a topic all in its own.

reposting.

First of all, nothing can move as fast as light but light itself because it would require infinite mass, and I don't think any one of you has that. That having been said...Has everybody forgotten about Newton's Second Law? This is like a gun and a bullet. The gun fires, the bullet goes off. The reason that gun doesn't go anywhere, well barely anywhere, is because it's mass is so much greater than that bullet. You're the gun, the air/bacteria you spew out when you sneeze is the bullet. OFF CURRENT SUBJECT. A space shuttle works by using an ass load of gas and fire and stuff to make itself go. Relatively speaking, you are like a shuttle. Your sneeze isn't even close to being great enough to propel you. Oh, crap, I just realized that 87x wrote about not being able to go light speed. Oh well. Anyways...unless you had the most explosive fart sneeze ever, you couldn't do anything. AHHHHH. I just saw what Cenrgith posted and it's just what I said!!! No matter. One more thing. Time does elapse slower when you go faster. Oh, and another thing. About the peak velocity thing, one impulse can only cause a max specific amount of force. So there ya' go. Hopefully if that post didn't do anything else, it compiled all the other ones. I talk alot, FYI.

Yeah, that's true. When something reaches the speed of light, time stops for them, relative to everything else.

[Cenright]

I thought that they say that at the speed of light, time stops, because at the speed of light, light exists as a particle. All other times, it acts as a wave, except in certain cases.


But with the time thing: time goes faster at a faster speed. Which means at a faster speed, you pass through time quicker, so you age less than everyone else. To them, time went slower, but you passed through more time with less wear and tear on the body because it went by quicker.

(Ok, now I'm just being redundant. I was just trying to cover all the bases.)

At the speed of light, you pass through a light's amount of "relative time", which is almost none. Everyone ages while you go through time quickly, not having the amout of "relative time" to age. It isn't time travel, just time on fast foreward. This would mean you could, in theory only, "travel" foreward in time, but you can NOT "travel" backwards.

In fast foreward, you don't skip time, you just run through it quickly.

It all makes sense know....Thank you. I didnt bother taking Psychics and took Anatomy instead. Sure Anatomy is easier....but it isnt as interesting.

I remember watching a computer generated video in geology where you take off from the ground and every second you increase your speed by 10 miles per hour...about 3/4's of the way through it, the frame pauses where you would reach the speed of light, showing light as one long particle...I dont know, I thought it was rather interesting.

This is my I love this community. Where else could you have a gaming environment and still be able to have college level scientific theory debates?

It is one of those things that you have to love, Jewpin.

I am more interested in Astrology than I am Pyshics.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's right. I remember some story...I don't quite remember how it goes but it was something like this. They took two 10 year old kids and put one in a rocket in space and just left one on earth. Then like 10 years later the one on earth was 20 and the one on the rocket was only like...um don't know the age but it was younger than 20.

[jewpinthethird]

Yeah, I've heard that story, 8th grade Psychics. I didnt actaully happen of course.

Why hasnt anyone mentioned Planet of the Apes yet?

[Anticrombie0909]

Cause that movie blew.

[Cenright]

I never saw it. Thank God I didn't.

[scorpio1690]

Cause that movie blew.

IT'S FUNNY CAUSE IT'S FUCKIN TRUE!

And, I see all of you are writing horribly long and complicated replies. Replies which I can grasp, but not fully understand, mainly because of my extreme laziness and lack of caring.

[jewpinthethird]

The original movie didnt suck, dummies. Well, they go to jupiter or something, and when they return to earth...it is run by apes because while it was only a few weeks or something on their space ship, it had been thousands of years on earth.
