I assume the force of gravity prevents rocks and pebbles from becoming perfectly round. If they were polished in outer space would they be spherical?

What's it called when a skydiver reaches maximum speed in free fall so that they cannot go any faster?

And do different objects (lighter or heavier) and different shapes (aerodynamic or not) have an effect on the maximum speed?

As an individual accelerates to near light speed their length contracts and their mass increases (duh). But what if this happened so much so that this person met the requirements for a schwarzschild blackhole in that the entirety of their mass was contained with the schwarzschild radius from an stationary observer's point of view? Furthermore does any object from the moving person's point of view the meets the requirements for schwarzschild blackhole become one as well? Speculate on that for a while.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is supposed to be up and running sometime after next summer, and should tell us a lot about subatomic energy and particles. One experiment planned, is to examine the nature of gravity by looking for the "graviton' particle. There are a lot of other experiments planned, of course.

What do YOU think will the most exciting???

could einsteins theroy of special relativity be put into practice with regards to time travel into the future? i have run and rerun this theory and can only get to the same conclusion - if time travel is possible then it is only possible to go back in time and not forwards in time.

A block of mass m lying on a rough horizontal surface is given an initial velocity of vo. After traveling a distance d, it makes a head-on collision with a block of mass 2m. How far does the second block move before coming to rest?( Assume that the coefficient of friction, uk, is the same for both blocks).

I use V2=Vo2 +2ax for m2 but keep getting half the right answer.

answer: 2Vo2 -4d
