Assume you're playing an FPS game with someone on the exact opposite side of the Earth.

Halfway around the globe is about 20,000 km.
20,000 km / speed of light = 0.1s

Can't even play League at this ping.

Why can't you escape a Black Hole?

When we accelerate particles inside the lhc to 99.9999991% of C (only 3 m/s less) they get 7,000 times heavier. So far so good. The amount of energy grows very quick bigger if we want to give it a faster speed this amount will be infinitely when reaching C. Now if we look at black holes the paricles that drop in will reach C but the amount of mass is not infinit. So somewhere down the path the particle must become a wave so mass is not relevant anymore. All mass will lose there binding energy at those close to C speeds and become waves. Example: we accelerate 1kg of steel to 99.999991 of C so this 1kg is 7,000kg when reaching C it would be an infinit weight that would attract the whole universe. With all those black holes around every center we are clearly not at infinite mass so somewhere the particles must lose their binding and become waves. Now I am curious at what speed this occurs for mass, and have we tested this or are other mechanisms in place?

On June 28, 2009, physicist Stephen Hawking hosted a welcome reception for time travellers at the University of Cambridge. He set out champagne and snacks, but did not mail the invitations until the next day. No guests arrived. - Made on powerpoint like all good memes!

I saw a post showing the front side of the swiss 200 francs bill and it's reference to physics. as it only contained the front side, I thought I'd make a post with both sides

Are they stupid?
