Answer is ?

Maybe you could help me out by restating your hypothesis as a hypothesis (ie, what it is you are assuming).

I was thinking something like the following...

t = a (e ^ (k/T)) + b0 <== not that I accepting your idea. Just following what I think might be your
hypothesis...

This is where you are wrong and don't understand SR as Tormod says. Take a modern physics course
and/or read Einstein's ABC of Relativity or Brian Greene's Elegant Universe. Might help.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
