To all my friends I say "Oogaly Purple Mushroom!" and to everyone else I say "Inside joke."
What has brought you here today? Here of all days and of all places you chose to stumble across this blog but the question remains why?
Not only that. Of all the times you could have stumbled upon this blog you chose now.
Just pause a moment and reflect on that statistical anomaly. The chances of you doing so are... quite small. And yet you did! It's like winning the lottery without the soul destroying gambling or trouble inducing money! Congratulations!
We are currently studying Special Relativity in the Physics Course I am enrolled in in uni. Well.... not currently. We just finished the topic and I will be an incredibly sad boy if they started having Special Relativity lectures at 7:30am. I don't think my brain could handle it.
Anyway in this course I found many answers to the questions that I had been asking all my life. For instance:
If you were traveling at the speed of light and you turned on a flashlight; What would happen?
The answer: You would already be dead granted you had infinite force to get you to the speed of light in the first place due to doppler shift.
And that's the thing. Doppler shift works on light but it doesn't affect it's speed, it affects it's frequency (hence redshift and blueshift) and the constant speed of light remains... well... constant.
I thought that was pretty cool.
And now! I will return to waiting paitently for Scribblenauts to hit Australia.
