|    Newtonian physics and the speed of light    |

      From: heathjohn2@gmail.com              I am going to make a cannon to test Newtonian physics. The cannon will       consist of gun powder and a cannon ball. The mass of the cannon ball       will be an impressive not 1 not 2 not but 4 electrons . This is a heavy       cannon ball! The gun powder will be the total energy of the       annihilation 1 electron and 1 positron. We are talking E=MC^2 gun       powder of 1.022 MeV or 1.602e-13 Joules in Newtonian style with a       massive cannon ball of 4 electrons 2.044 MeV or 3.5632e-13 K Grams       Newtonian. Let us light the fuse on this weapon of mass       destruction. According to Newtonian physics the velocity will be V in       meters per second = SQR( energy in joules / mass in (K gram /2 )). This       makes the velocity of our cannon ball 299,780,663 meters per       second. This cannon ball will go through a brick wall like it was       butter.              Do you see the problem? The number 229,780.663 meters per second. What       on earth is the speed of light doing in Newtonian physics. They did not       know the speed of light at this time. Why would our quad electron       cannon ball have a velocity of exactly c calculated using only       Newtonian physics V=SQR(energy / (mass/2)) ?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
