WHO FINANCES YOUR FORUM?

Yeah dude, I'm an RET person, and you are still failing to answer Engineer's question.

Just keep going. You'll still look like a moron no matter how smart you try to look with all your copy/pasta-ing.

Probably a weeaboo too.

Holy crap this is still going on?  Has that Bush guy not found out the obvious yet?

would you be willing to clarify some of us with what exactly the obvious is??

thanks!

TO 'TheEngineer':   

     I tried to drop down on your level of education, but I guess you still can not hear me through that wet ears of yours. The point is the following:

     If you have one equation, like the one you have so elegantly posted:
which involves three variables, you can only use it to calculate one of them when you know the values of the other two. The question to you should have been: "How do you know the values of the permittivity of vacuo and the permeability of vacuo?"

    I know they told you some values in high school and gave you this formula, but my intention in the two previous lessons I have posted was to educate you about:

• The speed of light has an exact value because it is used as a standard of speed in SI (see lesson one for details). Nevertheless, it requires a very precise measurement. In fact, it is the most precisely measured quantities, and that is why it is used as a standard (browse the Net for a topic on measuring the speed of light);
• The magnetic permeability of the vacuo is also known exactly, since it enters in the formula used to define the standard of electric current (see lesson two for details);

     Because we know the exact values of these two variables in the above equation, we use it to calculate the permeability of vacuo! There, satisified? I guess they didn’t teach you that in your High School or Community College in Arizona, did they numbskull?

The speed of light is a definition, a constant.  So as the measurement of the speed of light becomes more accurate, the definition of the meter changes, so that the value of the speed of light remains at the defined speed.

Which is exactly the opposite of what you claimed.  Now, you want to try your hand at something else to prove I'm not an engineer?  Seeing as how you failed miserably with this line of questioning.

Well, after writing nonsense for two days:

Then TheEngineer, as a graduated mechanical engineer I am certain that you know how to explain that the numerical value of the speed of light in vacuo is exactly:

c = 299,792,458 m/s

Why don’t we just accept it to be c = 1 m/s? Why use that strange number? After all, it is defined to have exactly that value! There isn't anything special about that number, is there?

The speed of light was discovered on a chalkboard long before it was measured.  I'm sure that is what you are referring to.

Sure it is.  Maxwell found the exact speed of EM radiation came out in his equations.



BTW, this is only university physics stuff, hardly something that an engineer must know or else they can't graduate.

Bushido, I noticed you said at one time you were a grad student.  What are you studying?  How to make an ass of yourself?

The speed of light is a definition, not a measurement.  Maxwell found in his experiments that the speed of an EM wave was constant, no matter the velocity of the emitter, and the following equation fell out of his equations:

c = 1/sqrt(epsilon_naughtmu_naught)

Meaning that the speed of light is a constant of nature.

That is what an engineer would know about it.

you finally give a half correct answer:

The speed of light is a definition, a constant.  So as the measurement of the speed of light becomes more accurate, the definition of the meter changes, so that the value of the speed of light remains at the defined speed.

Which is exactly the opposite of what you claimed.  Now, you want to try your hand at something else to prove I'm not an engineer?  Seeing as how you failed miserably with this line of questioning.

    I guess my lessons really paid off. By the way, there are still two unanswered problems for you in my second lecture. And I do not plan to educate you any further. I am not paid to do that, and I don't plan to volunteer like you!

And you still don't get it.

And you still don't get it.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned him challenging you to prove your an engineer.

Read the url.

The end.

The poor soul jumped from me to TheEngineer. He or she is no more a soft target than I myself was, but the end result is the same. Bushido will eventually either disappear, get himself banned, or attempt to apologize, but he will lose still, that is what he does.

Haha, retard on top is awesome.

This is amazing, how did I miss it?! 

Stop being so damn lazy. I work overnight shifts, and I have my girlfriend and son to take care of, and I still don't miss a beat!

Get with it man!

i have never in my life seen a forum with so many: "You fail" posts.

That's another one. And it's my home away from home, so to speak.
