The momentum of a bowling ball in space...

Welcome to Motor Daddy's universe. He is the only occupant. The laws of physics don't hold in MD's universe.

How does he know how much time light started traveling before the light reached him?

Through whatever time measuring device he has handy. Gotta be pretty fast to measure light though.

I have issues with both. Neither of those two individuals knew a method of determining one's own velocity in space.

Yes, I know
Thing is , you'll never get out of your predicament.

So you are saying the equation p=mv is meaningless,

I think this equation of momentum is not very correct, because if v=0; momentum becomes zero. We know that, a mass can never remain at rest. So, momentum of a mass can never become zero. At the most relative velocity of a mass can become zero. So, i think the equation p=mv defines relative momentum and not the real momentum for mass m.

There is no such thing as an absolute referent, so everything in science is necessarily relative.

Well Motor Daddy is into his manic phase. This usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks as I recall. So we will have numerous threads about the speed of light and trains and diagrams of light spheres and then it will calm down and MD will dissapear for another couple of months. Have fun MD you always seem to be able to pull people into your discussions.

Just out of curiosity what the hell is your avitar from?

I always think of Chubaka and Star Wars.

Our most primitive senses tell velocity. Sense is prime to speed. Who wants to be perfect? Literally sit with Mrs. 'God.' The velocity of the object doesn't mater without the prime sense to it. If velocity is felt it is emotionalized, sense being felt before it to the creation who was there to sense. What was this creation?

Love>Perfection>Bravery

Bravery the Baptist, first born child. Perfection came of In Love. Pacifism is the Christ, being the Son.

Velocity is relative to the mark we give it.

LOL. You can not provide one shred of evidence that life is serious!

I saw it somewhere long ago and I thought it was cool. I still think it's cool. I particularly like the eyes and mouth.

Don't you have something better to do than make a fool of yourself in this forum?

I'm a genius, dude. Its the genealogy of All.

Act like it then goofball.

I think we're done here.
