Speed of light - Why we can't reach it

[computerwiz]

I now clearly understand why we can never reach the speed of light.  I've never seen a video explain everything so well, so clearly.

 

Enjoy my fellow scientists!!  😁

The speed of light is the time it takes me to get into bed after I turn the light out.

While it seems like a perfectly feasible explanation, it doesn't explain how Jehovah and Satan were able to see Job and discuss his situation in "real time" when they were not on the earth ... or how the angle could come from wherever to slay 185,000 in a single event - just saying

The difference between physical and spiritual?

Spirit creatures are not bound by time (as far as we know).  Time is part of the physical universe.  We won't understand how they operate until later, hopefully.

[Qapla]

There are differences in spirit creatures and us - but, to say we can "never" reach or exceed the speed of light may not be correct - who knows what Jehovah has in store for us in the future  

 

Not to mention that we can currently pray, audibly or silently, and Jehovah can instantly hear our prayers ... so we are already capable of communication in ways we can't explain or understand fully.

When I read Eph 4:6 "One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all", I associate/speculate it could be an explanation to how He hears prayers instantly. (Through Holy spirit??)

 

I also think about quantum computers, but I'm not sure that will compute.

 

I really hope we will be able to travel the universe. I dream of spaceships & crew that go invisible before spaceflight. How to put photons out of the equation ? ?

Daily reminder that Special relativity isn't the absolute truth of our universe  
Einsteins ideas are merely empirical, not metaphysical.

And spirits aren't bound by our physical limitations.

Good point David. It reminded me of Psalm 36:9 "With you is the source of life; By your light we can see light", and study 6 in ELF.

 

There's also a good article in December 1st 2001 W/T "By Light From You We Can See Light". So many aspects of 'light'.

Time is sometimes called the 4th dimension.  This is because we experience 3 physical dimensions.  Time is also a dimension accordint to one theory.  But what if there are actually infinite dimensions possible, but we are only aware of 3.  It might be possible to travel through another dimension to get from point A to point B.  And this other dimension is a shortcut from point A to point B.  To an observer it would seem that we travelled faster than light to get from point A to point B.

 

Astrophysicists explain how a universe that is 14 billion years old can contain stars that are 100 billion years apart.  The explanation they use is that these stars are not moving faster than the speed of light but the expansion of the universe can be faster than the speed of light.  I don't understand this, but it is the explanation that Neil Degrasse Tyson, and others, used.

 

If Quantum Entanglement is possible, who knows?

This brings to my mind a dedication talk that brother Herd gave some years ago here in the Dominican Republic. He mentioned something like Jehovah and the angels live in sort of another dimension, not subjeted to our space-time limitations.

I found this talk. It was titled "The Miracle of Prayer", on Nov 19th, 2016, that is, 8 years ago.

Jehovah can read the subset of reality that is our physical universe at whatever pace he wants

The Maker of physical rules can always adjust or break them.  But as of right now, the rules are clear and things are as it was explained in the video.

[Qapla]

Yes, but that didn't help explain warp speed, trans-warp corridors, hyperspace, underspace or many of the other faster-than-light means of travel I have seen on TV ... just saying

 What is the problem with this is, we only see the past when look into space. Take for instance galaxy M31. We can only see what it looks like 2.5 million years  ago, yet we do not know what look like know in 2024. We will have to wait another 2.5 million years later to find out. 

 

 The question is how can we the events of this galaxy at it's present time? Certain events in this galaxy can be chaotic in order to enter now or in the future. Earth is a safe place to be forever. Psalms 37:29.

It is also theorised that the Big Bang was not just one at one particular place where everything came from, but at many places at the same time, thus allowing the vast distances between stars.

 

Another thought is that Big Bang was not only just one particular event, but possibly happened many times before the one that we seem to focus on.
