satown Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Gravity does slow photons, and photons do accelerate. c = [v/ [-(ma/ma-f)^2 +1] ^1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I would disagree with you. The observations could be interpreted to show that gravity is just acting on the space that the photons travel through. It's almost as if the photons were crossing a river with a strong current when in the presence of a gravity field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogz Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Q: How does a hacker fix a function which doesn't work for all of the elements in its domain? A: He changes the domain. I've never been happy with the idea of massless particles, and would love if someone could explain why they are so quick to accept the concept.

If so that would be cool if it matched what has been observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 every time i think about hacking time, i think about the TIFF exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Whoa, are you talking about open source code ruthless, trying to get be ranting? K here goes.... If they used closed source TIFF libraries (we are talking a lot of big names including Sony & Apple) they would have all had to work on the problem alone and they would not have shared their fixes. Thankfully libtiff is open source and the fix was only done once and shared with everyone else and the source code for the patch was collectively reviewed by 100's of developers using the library for different applications. This is the best thing about open source code, you have to share your fixes with the rest of the people using the software, even if the software costs money, you still have to share any fixes or patches that you make. Errors can't be avoided, but they can be reduced and almost eliminated by using peer reviews, which is what open source is all about. Plus, that exploit allowed PSP owners to write their own software for their PSP's, opening up a closed source device to the homebrew world.
