The official I cant sleep thread

[DRKWNG]

I actually slept pretty well last night.  And that was even with the ex-wife trying to call and complain about things.  Got to love turning the phone off.

ex wife? isnt she an ex wife for a reason. 

i slept from 5-8am last night. tired as make the beast with two backs today, ready to pass out all day, and i thought i was going to just black out around  7pm, but didnt want to. So i went to doodle on my pad, the nwatch the steelers game...

I know, right?

Yesterday I got zzzzz's between 4:30-6:30ish.     

Lucky for me, I was so exhausted, I managed to get about 6hrs last night.
Still not caught up, though.

I have this funny feeling that I'll catch up once I'm dead

yeah. 5.

did manage to get a little sleep... eventually...

[He Man]

yup zulu-5

its 2am right now, gonna go to burger king grab some $1double chese burgers and twist my brains on some crazy physics shit that boggles my mind.

What? Like the fact that scientists found a way to move light particles faster than the speed of light thus proving Einstiens theory on time travel? That one freaks me out a little. Here's a new one I just found:

http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/30/device-makes-radio-waves-travel-faster-than-light/

[He Man]

That article was complete bs on the account that it had no information on what the device was doing. So I cant really comment on "moving a light particle faster than light" cause it makes no mention of actually doing that. The writer sure did sound like she messed up the main idea of the scientist she was interviewing though...

Im no expert, but i know you can make things appear as if they were traveling faster than light, but the end result of appearing is perspective based, not actually moving a light particle faster than light.

I wish there was more on that. But this whole stuff is pretty make the beast with two backsing crazy to begin with.

No no. That article was on radio waves traveling faster than light. Here is a link to the article on Backwards pulse propagation(light faster than light):
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/312/5775/895

You'll have to register to see the whole article, but basically what happens is that as the light passes through a gas(ebrium?) at certain intervals through a fiber optic cable. The obstruction of the gas causes the light wave to be "Backed up", much like ocean waves hitting a reef, the forward face of the wave compensates by moving faster in an arc than the speed the wave is traveling. The speed of light. So, in the ocean, the current may be going 5-10 MPH, the forward face of the wave can travel in eccess of 30 mph. That's the way my psuedo-educated mind understands it. I've lost my old links, but I have the full article with links in a PDF. PM me if you want it.
