If the above is true, it proves that Einstein was wrong...something actually does travel faster than the speed of light. And in fact, the speed of light has been proven not to be constant, after all!

I have to do a project in college (Going for Game Software Development) where I need to recreate an old crappy Superman game (Superman 64). I want to impliment the ability to run fast enough to go over water, but I don't know if that speed would be so fast that actually running it would make the game unplayable in a *to-scale* Metroplis.

...according to Quantum Physics, does that mean that God is a part of us the same way that THE FORCE is a part of the JEDi Knights(scientifically speaking, of course)?

I'm enjoying this book so far but I'm unsure of what parts are fact and what is fiction.

I tested in a pool how magnets behave underwater, but it seems they move fall quicker underwater than in air, so i tried again, same result, i tried in a bathtub with and without water... again, same result... I'd like to know why this happens...

If Newton's IIIrd law is correct, then when a horse pulls a cart, the cart must also pull the horse but this doesn't happens. Why?

I think there must be something wrong with faster than light travel according to the standart theory, it just doesn´t makes sense. There must be another explanation or simply Einstein was wrong and we are following a mistake, perhaps if we change some basic arguments of the standart theory we can find the TOE sooner.

When a star collapeses in on itself it is suppose to become super heavy and dense, very very small and is the start of a black hole. But exactly how small, heavy are we talking do we know or is just theory??

I work in a Title 1 school and I need lessons that are on a fairly basic level...but worth the student's time. Web sites would be helpful. This is the first of the 8th grade science standards in California.

I understand that particles have different "charges" positive and negative. But what EXACTLY (if we know) causes particles of like charge to be repelled from one another.

It seems to me that they're exerting some kind of outward pressure or something in all directions. Such that, when these pressures collide, they kick back (each action has an equal and opposite reaction), thus keeping the particles themselves from ever completely colliding.

But do we know the MECHANISM by which this happens? Say we have two electrons, and we try to push them together, their electrical charge keeps them apart, and the more we try to push them together, likely the stronger they're pushed apart. But WHY? Or is this one of those "you could base your PhD on it" type questions?

When speed is bigger, mass is bigger.
But speed is bigger than what? And when we measere mass in two different speed, we get two different mass? And how to measer speed at two different speed? So is mass the property of the thing AND the measurer? (Than I'm only 77 kilos:))
