Has Light got a decay factor?

Besides, this thread needed some cortisone...after 6 dayz ? 

And know that I've fallen in like w/ our OP. He's 4eva been hyperenthusiastic & is a mega-nonjudgementist to the point of a cybersexy, <3 beautiful, 1 in a million (well, maybe a 1000  )

....go my luv ! 

JUST ONE answer from you, Lota (that we will all see)  . Is space a particle ?  Just yes or no .   OR even better for this forum; does light age with time or lose energy as  IKTM states ? In this case you may be quite .  Thanks for your input.

I am going to help you with your answer if you are not sure already.  These two questions go together perfectly.  If space is a particle, than every time a photon (light) moves from one particle to another to get here a little energy is lost doing that; so it ages. THAT IS ALL there is to the concept.  It's that simple.  AND the results of that is that we all seem at the center of the universe and see exactly the same redshift.  The further away, the more the redshift (lose of energy).  THAT couldn't fit the observations better.

Lola you are one in a gzillion and I count myself honoured that you contribute on this thread. I am but a candle in the Sun light sphere of your magnificence.

Okay back to it...Have been on hols for a couple of weeks but am back now.

Read an article whilst away which seemed to say that light could have some mass after all under certain circumstances. It's new recent research but can't find it again. Forgot to make a note of it.

Anybody else see it?

 Was it just a dream on the sun bleached beaches of Alicante?

Didn't see it !!!   BUT;  I have stated 10 times that a photon's other two mass states have mass.  The neutrino has one, two, and three units of mass.  The photons has zero, one and two units of mass.  Both of these particles are of the same form (000) which allows that and are the (LHH) and (LHH) cases.  WE see that a photon in a strong gravitational field (near a star) will bend.  Those are the photons with mass and while they are very unstable, that is long enough to bend.  So, IKTM  are you ready to consider that photons age yet ?  If they age then the photon reacts the same in any environment rather than losing energy because of the interaction with other particles in space and the energy lose is consistent and not accidental because of path.

RPaulB - you do realise that the space around a star is curved and that a photon will simply follow that curvature in space not because it has mass but simply because space is curved. From the point of view of the photon it is travelling in a straight line. You do realise that?

No , I do not realize that.   I beleive the two different concepts are ; either space is curved caused by mass or gravitons exist which causes the particle with mass to change directions.  Which concept fits with the rest of nature  best ?

TY IKTM's  .

But can u or others here tell I have something wrong w/ me ? Tell me what it is. Try to. I wanna know how well u know me. And I'm not the type who will hold stuff against u - if u miss. <3 L

You may have something wrong with you, BUT you surely are one of the smartest  members around.  (and in my opinion, by far.  I almost can't beleive it)

Can we play 20 questions ? I love that game. You can only answer yes or no.

1. Are you a woman (over 18) ?

2.    Is space curved ? (yes or no).

3.  Does a photon age ? (yes or no).

2. Are you a Savant or Autistic?

3. Do you believe in Unicorns?

4. Do you believe Jesus was a spy?

5. Do you believe you can get a plumber on a sunday?

6. If you were a car would you be a Skoda with one door a different colour?

7. How many beans make 5?

8. Is your favourite colour Pink?

9. If I knew everything about you would I be able to love you or is that the province of God (and women) ?

10. Does love exist?

That's enough to be going on with.

ps, I give you licence to answer with more than one word to those questions.

I'm not really smart @ all. More like really manipulative. I'm the baby of my family & I want my way & I can't help it. I've been that way all my life & it's almost too hard to stop now. And I have family members who hate me 4it.  

I have a University degree that helps me understand what everyone's talking about here. But what I really like is (better not say that one  ) existentialism & aesthetics....u know, candles & honesty & burning philosophical incense.

IKTM's ?....I'll be 43 on Halloween & IHNI if space is curved or not RPaulB.

This attn is flattering & it makes me feel good  ! It shouldn't, but what ego I have left can't help it. Sometimes I need validating and that's really not-not right....but it's 'cuz I have esteem issues....tho' they're diminishing.

IKTM's ?....I have akinda addictive personality & I wait to talk more than just listen. But I'm working on that one. I've voluntarily been in over 100 hours of counseling over the years & absolutely luvit ! I've seen a obgyn on sunday b4 AND a plumber....but not on the same day.

Yes....love exists & it's determined ! But only cuz u luvd that person b4 u ever met them. Remember ?....it started w/ ur mom. She luvd u b4 she met u, right ? Now ur just carrying on what happened 2u.

Fav color is dioxazine 'cuz it has seduction & intrigue & erotics laced thruout it....can u see it ?

I had a old yellow car (chevette) that took me to the moon & partway back (350K miles on it when it decided I wasn't worth it). I luvd that I could watch the ground go by beneath me 'cuz the footboard had rotted out from the saltwater....LOL !

Oh yeah, about those unicorns....they shoulda got on that Ark.

Therapy session (part 2).

If you have been in therapy you may have come across the next set of questions before or something similar. Answer with the first thought that comes into your head....

11. You find yourself in a forest...describe the forest.

12. You are walking on a path through the forest and you see a key...describe the key.

13. Do you pick the key up and if yes what do you do with it?

14. You continue walking and come to a clearing at the centre of  which is a man made structure...describe it.

15. Do you enter ?

16. After leaving the clearing you continue on through the forest until you come out of the forest. The forest is behind you...describe what you see in front of you.

17. You turn left and walk until you come to an obstruction blocking your way...describe the obstruction.

18.Describe how you get past the obstruction.

19. You walk on till you come to a body of water....describe the water.

20. Which is more important, a good education or a good heart ?

ps, i'm not smart either...I've spent my whole life aspiring to be average.

The obstruction in my view was the body of water, a river lol.

The forest has a big gold medallion in the middle of it (think Austin Powers w/ me here  ) & if the key is chocolate ?....then I wanna eat it. The clearing is the Burning Man Festival & I just entered into the House of Cards.

(....why does he wanna know all this ?)

Anyway, I see a blingy-wingy whatchamacallit thingamalump & I pintail over it & then get filled w/ regret. The body of water I see is mine in the mirror 'cuz I'm made of mostly water.

As far as my heart goes ?....I let it go wherever it wants. Mine isn't there to protect me. It's there to expose me. And I've morphed into never letting me hate it. Our heart's are way too beautiful for that. Besides, it's keeping us alive, right ? bomp-bomp-----bomp-bomp....repeat.

So I don't suppress mine or deny mine or tell a lie to it...'cuz nunna these will help anyway - it'll just prolong. So let it take u on a downhill muse every once in a while....& let go of the brakes  .

The forest represents your current state of mind but you didn't describe it so I can't evaluate it.

The key = your attitude towards money . You see little value in it.

The structure = friendship . You did go in which is good.

The horizon = your future . You didn't state what you saw.

The Obstruction = problem solving abilities .Again no comment.

Water = Sexual orientation . Self love perhaps?

The last question was just a fill in to make 20 Q's .
