Re: Einstien was a nutter

From what I can skim it's only shocking if you subscribe to the theory that neutrinos have a non-zero, albeit tiny, mass.

Re: Einstien was a nutter

Or the original speed of light was miscalculated and this is the true speed of light. Or because they have mass the speed of light is higher than previously thought?

Or......about 20 other theories.

Re: Einstien was a nutter

This shows exactly why these particular scientists are not arrogant

They are throwing their work open to peer review in the hope of having it verified. Either way their results will be of value (They got it wrong and so the test can be improved...or....they got it right and one of the cornerstones of modern science has been broken)

The test they are doing is simple in its base form... all they are measuring is distance and time

My money is on the distance measurement being wrong due to an unconsidered effect

If the speed of light can be broken then why cant it be smashed? doubled etc... not just in the tenth decimal place.... this smacks as a repeatable error to me.

I work doing virtual testing for a living... I constantly have to verify my work against physical tests.
People assume that because a test is "real" that it must be correct..... WRONG
I have had many occasions where the tests were conducted correctly but there was a fuck up in the basic way it was set up and an effect not considered was modifying the results, sometimes significantly.

Best one was a 3 month fuck up where we were being totally slagged off by the test guys because our results didnt match and I eventually got hold of their test data and found a major error that when corrected saw the test comming into line with our theory
As I was a scumbag contractor I was laughing all the way to the bank lol

I suspect that something similar is going on here but I hope not because breaking the universal speed limit has major implications.

Erm

What was the question again?

Re: Einstien was a nutter

Look's like another late reply from me! I think the whole accelerated neutrino thing is bullshite when you use the relativity theory. I'm not that good at physics, or philosophy! But just because a neutrino arrives, at it's measuring point, quicker than a photon, in a positron accelerator; that doesn't in my eyes mean that it is going faster than time. The big thing that seems to be overlooked is that the theories of relativity only allow time to be measured by the speed of light. Obviously Einstein usurped Euclidian physics, but still the fundamental flaw lies in the belief that time itself relies on the speed of light, because I suppose nothing was ever considered faster! So just because a neutrino arrives at point B at 23.07, and the photon arrives at 23.09, having travelled a certain distance at the speed of light, surely the 'time' will still be the same for both of them, except one arrived a bit later. If we were each a neutrino or a photon, travelling in separate spaceships, from point A to B and one arrived before the other, surely it would just that mean one arrived before the other. I would not be younger if I arrived first, than the photon who arrived after me; even by a few minutes: I would have just got there first. Well that's just my uneducated opinion, based on pure reason!

As far as bearing go, I bought some ACER SK8 bearings on the internet. Is it possible, that if you put too much force on your nose the board stops, just due to the bearings not coping with the force. I bailed loads of times today, with a lot of force going through my nose end, with my body quite forward as well, and I know I was trying some new stuff, but I did not expect that response from my board. It was like having sudden breaks put on, causing me to fly forward off the board! If anyone can be arsed, have you any suggestions as to why this might be happening? I don't want to blame equipment or set-up because it probably is technique. :?

It was like having sudden breaks put on, causing me to fly forward off the board! If anyone can be arsed, have you any suggestions as to why this might be happening? I don't want to blame equipment or set-up because it probably is technique. :?


Don't think its bearings. Any sign of " wheelbite " scuffing on the deck ? If yes there are a few solutions - riser pads, stiffer bushings, smaller wheels ( nooooo! ). Gravel also causes decelleration trauma, as do pennies, haribo, scooters and anything that small children carry about in their pockets.
It only hurts until they administer the morphine.

Re: Einstien was a nutter

if the extra pressure is too much for your bearings, then you've got some very crappy bearings.
my guess is you tried new things with very little speed? and with little speed a little unbalance or a mini pebble is enough to stop the board.
if this is the case, try to go a little faster next time and you should be fine :)

Re: Einstien was a nutter

I did notice a bite of wheelbite burn on the deck, with matchiing green paint on the wheels. I was going quite slow as I was tranferring out of a ramp onto flat so I can imagine an almost nose manny situation could possibly stop the board :? I think it might be wheelbite. I've got 60mm bones (which luckily are so hard bite isn't that much of an issue) on Indy's on 8 inch deck, with 1/8th risers. And I've just put in Khiro red's(which are soft) and slackened off the trucks, so maybe just not used to the change. Before I had Bones Black hardcore bushings, with the trucks cranked right down. I know I have to get loose trucks, it's the only way to carve. But the cost is wheelbite and a few falls. It's a small price to pay for the gift of being able to carve the bowl frontside! ..-

Re: Einstien was a nutter

you should be okay with a set up like that. i ride 65 mm bones surf one with indy and 1/8 risers, trucks are as loose as possible. never had wheelbite that stopped me or that i could even feel, but there are some wheelbitemarks om the deck. maybe get someone to check it when you're standing on the board, max weight on one side.
i don't think the trucks have to be wheelbite loose to get frontside carves, it just needs a little love and attention to get it right :wink:

Re: Einstien was a nutter

Thank's! I've actually swapped my Khiro's back to Bones hardcore yellow, because the Khiro's were harder even at the slackest point, where I was worried my kingpin bolt would fall off!
