<div class="IPBDescription">some silly stuff</div> ok, my friend and I are taking Enstine and Relativity (basicaly relativity for people who don't take any physics classes and you don't need any math over algebra). Great class, we have to do a final project, so we figgured we would aply this to gaming <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

What I am looking for is if any one knows about relativity (actualy knows, not just silly stuff) I want some Ideas.

The 2 I have running are:
1) if you managed to keep a proceser going neer the speed of light you could make them much larger (and posibly have them shrink enugh that the percieved slowdown of it would be compensated by extra power ;D)
2) Ultimate Speed Hack, if you can get your self and your comp going near the speed of light every one else would be moving slowly, thus ultimate H4X (any one who can pull this off deserves the bonus ;D)

add ideas if you can come up with em ;D

    A research team in Australia has been working on a teleportation device that uses protons as it's transport medium. With futher development this can lead to processors thousands even millions of times faster as the data is processed instantly.

    Speed of light? feh.



    Note: I could have ellaborated, but it's 3:30am at night.... atom transportation (That's humans) is still an extremely long way off. Sorry Star Trek nerds.

    unfortunatly that has nothing to do with relativity, that is infact QuantumMechanics (class I am taking next half of the term, relativity is only 1/2 a term ;D)

    You stated something on processors moving at the speed of light.

    I provided a faster alternative.

    It's not as if it's hard to make particles go places instantly. Just throw some microwaves at a big block 0' metal, and TA-DA! You have made some of those microwaves appear instantly on the other side. It's completely useless, but it is technically "faster than light"

    As I said, the class is NOT on Quantum mechanics (what yalls are talking about) but on Relativity

    Actualy read the posts

    meh

    relativity made my head hurt.

    You had to think of different reference frames, and its almost like time travel, it was all so confusing.

    problem with having a computer moving near the speed of light is, to the computer, everything else seems to be moving slowly, and to everything else, the computer seems to be moving slowly (timewise, not speedwise).

    It really wouldn't matter, considering as it would make all networking impossible.

    explain this. Microwaves are light waves... so how can light go faster than itself?

    no, nothing can EXEDED the speed of light (that being C)

    C is not the speed in wich light travels in our world, it is infact the speed in a vacume (so yes, light does not travel at the speed of light inside the atmosphere)

    Infact, there are aparently substances that actually slow light down do visable speeds (scary aint it)

    @B33F, yes I relized that, and thus decided my speed hack would not work. I am now working on other ones ;D

    That's just an example, it works with all kinds of stuff. And nothing is actually going faster than teh speed of light. What is happening is that the particles are coming into contact with the barrier, and some of em are just appearing instantaniously on teh other side. Speed doesn't come into account.
