When the speed of light was reached.
How long would that take?

Engineering is based on some book a guy wrote over a hundred years ago. Physics too.

I told you already.

If a body is accelerating uniformly at a rate of 9.8m/s/s, then no Einsteinian mathematics are required to work it out.

approx. 30,000 seconds.

Please explain this "adjustment" that must be made for relativity. There has been much talk of it, but little detail given but slander.

How do you figure that no 'Einsteinian mathematics' are needed?

Because you simply asked me how long it would take an object to reach 300,000 m/s if it was always accelerating at 9.8m/s/s. That's simple maths, as presumably you insist on the existence of some unknown way of overcoming the increase in mass, and presuming it is in a perfect vacuum.

Of course, this would be relativistic, i.e. timed by a an observer on the accelerating body, in this case, us.

Tell me how I'm wrong.

Do explain.

1) Because you think Relativity does not need to be taken into account. 
2) Because it is not 300,000m/s.

.. For god's sake.

I have already asserted that it does.

However, when you ask how long it will take a body that ALWAYS accelerates at 9.8m/s/s to reach 300,000,000 m/s (my bad) you imply that the increase in mass is negated: when you state that it always accelerates at 9.8m/s

you calculate it, engineer.
taking relativity into account.

So the Earth can't be constantly accelerating at a rate of 9.8 m/s/s, even when time dilation is taken into account, because that is relativistic.

So you're saying that there is nothing that can be observed that is not accelerating at this velocity, or at one similar to it?

What we're saying is that prior to the *possibility* of observation, we cannot quantify what happens inside the box.

narcberry. That's a reference to Schrödinger's cat.

Doesn't work if there isn't a decaying atomic nucleus.

The earth wasn't locked in a state of quantum uncertainty before it was observed, even the question of atomic uncertainty on an atomic level is in doubt.

Narcberry, don't change the subject.  >:(

While it can be proven that at some time in the past, at least, the earth was flat, due to quantum mechanics, that argument has no place in this thread.

At what level is observation required? And I assure you, there are many decaying atomic nuclei in Earth.
