Uh, we were talking about Relativity, not thermodynamics. But, whatever, which part are you refering to?
You cant accelerate indefinatly and not exeed the speed of light.
Yes, you can. Velocity does not add linearly in relativity. Take this equation:
v = (v1+v2) / (1+v2*v2/c^2)
This is the formula for adding velocity in relativity. Keep adding 9.8 to it and let me know when we pass the speed of light.
You were referring to velocity here, and how it adds in relativity. Clearly you did talk about velocity.
You said nothing about a velocity
I
only talked about velocity; no mention of speed whatsoever. Since the initial post in this thread was referring to the earth's movement "upwards" in the universe (see "upwards" written by phaseshifter and "up" written by some other guy before him - that's a direction), that's what I was referring to. I, for one, was talking in context. You were not.
Now, if you and your friend Erasmus want to make pointless statements about the speed of light and speed in general, which I did not even mention, that's your problem. Funny that you call me ignorant when you don't even remember what the conversation was about.
