Ponty Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 How fast do you need to travel for time to never change in a day. Depends where you are. On the equator, a little over 900mph. As you get nearer the poles you can go slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Americans are still waiting. Come on now, the line is America is waiting... If you're going to quote Brian Eno & David Byrne, do it accurately MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 7 August, 2009 Share Posted 7 August, 2009 Depends where you are. On the equator, a little over 900mph. As you get nearer the poles you can go slower. I have often wondered, if you were to run around the North or South pole, just like in that crazy drinking game involving a broom-handle, would you in actual fact be travelling through time? Or would the time remain exactly where the big and little hand tell you it is? Serious answers only please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbury Posted 25 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Who? St Landrew is being rather arch in his esoteric musical tastes. However, I recognise the song he is referring to I think and it is from "My life in the Bush of Ghosts" by Brian Eno (Roxy Music, ambient music, produced U2, wrote the log on theme for Windows) and David Byrne, who was Talking Heads' lead singer. I wouldn't bother replying if this wasn't one of my favourite ever albums - it was from about 1983 and was years ahead of its time. I think the Chemical Brothers borrowed from it extensively, it has that kind of sound as well as using sampling effectively (can't have been many records around at the time doing that!). Just off to stroke my chin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the poles use GMT so you would be in the same time zone as London (except if London were in BST). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsdinho Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 The only way to make time stop is to go exactly the speed of light, which would require infinite energy if you still contain mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 The only way to make time stop is to go exactly the speed of light, which would require infinite energy if you still contain mass. This wont make time stop at all, it'll just suspend your perception of time until you drop below light speed, time will continue at its relative pace around you.

DS Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 This wont make time stop at all, it'll just suspend your perception of time until you drop below light speed, time will continue at its relative pace around you. What if everything in the universe travelled at the speed of light? Would that stop time as there'd be no time happening around you? Reading the above sentence again makes my brain hurt. I suspect I've written something which makes absolutely no sense (it wouldn't be the first time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the point isnt it, time (as far as you were concerned) would have appeared to have "stopped" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
