    Welcome to the Real World!

        I couldn't just pass this up especially after I made a comment regarding this just now in a friend's blog. See the comic here. If you liked the matrix or some aspect of the concept, watch "The Thirteenth Floor". I am sure you will like it :)  Here is the trailer..

     

    The Universal Constant - C(++) ?

        For people who are interested in Philosophy, Physics and the Theory of Everything :). One of the universal constants in all theories is the Speed of light.  Many theories including Einstein's theory of relativity rely on the fact that the speed of light is a constant. Many laws of physics and perception break down at hyper speed travel. However, recently there have been certain theories which have claimed that the speed of light is not a constant. It is just has its current speed as we know it right now. For people interested in learning more about this.. read "Faster than the speed of light". It is a good read. 

        Some scientists have tried to prove that they had achieved speed faster than that of light as we know it.  See this article in the Daily Mail  for details. It would be really amazing if we could travel faster than the speed of light. We can finally venture into Warp speed and cross the final frontier as we know it .. Although i pretty much doubt that we could see any of this become a reality in our life time. However if you are a Trekkie like me, read "The Physics of Star Trek". Another good read about the fictional part of the Physics involved in Star Trek. 

       Is Faster than light even possible? For the geek in you.. here are some theories :).
