Hey all,
I finished my first article.... wondering what people think?
tinwiki.org...
Also, I edited UFO Technology on 10/27 to clear up a common misunderstanding on "very fast" but sub-light speed.
The problem here is that the distances are so vast, that it would require an incredible amount of time given the limits of known technologies.
A star-traveler would have to traverse these vast distances by either approaching the speed of light or by circumventing the theoretical limit of v/c
= 1.0. Theoretically, if a UFO approached light speed, it's occupants would enjoy time ratio benefits that a stationary observer would not. This
time-ratio relation, originated by H.A Lorentz and incorporated by Einstein as a cornerstone of his Special Theory of Relativity, says to square the
velocity ratio, subtract from one, and take the square root to obtain the ratio of on-board time to the time for the stationary observer. I.E. if the
UFO was traveling at a speed of v/c = 0.999999, then it covers one light year of distance in 0.00141 year or 12 hours and 35 minutes.
I referenced a book I read a while back. I checked the copyright stuff on the book and its ok to quote a few passages. I should probably throw in a
reference section in UFO Technology since I got the material from a book instead of an external internet link. Is this correct procedure?
Yes, good job. Keep it up! Tinwiki could use more people like you for the overall goal. There's much we need to cover with little people to do
so!
