A question on quantum physic's.

[Ded Driver]

your mechanic needs 2 ???
is 1 for spare parts ?
tell him to replace the QDFC with a starter motor & battery :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey DD, Yeah, agree that spares are just a little pricey. The mechanic's wife's car had a scratch in the front door inside trim. When he was told the price, he told them that: "he didn't need the entire door, just the trim". Thank goodness I've only replaced filters :argh:

Hey Jack, even at at 0.06% of the speed of light, then Voyager's clock would appear to be running slower by a factor of 0.99999982.
This means that after 1 year, we would "see" it's clock retarded by 5.68s (but that's just my math - excluding gravitational effects).
I may have been mistaken

Hi BW , not sure how you got that figure but at least you did !

It depends on if it refers to special relativity or general relativity because time is relative!
General relativity causes the voyager clock to (apparently) run faster and is influenced by gravity (or the lack of influence) so given the craft is not influenced by gravity and clocks on earth are - voyagers' clock is faster.
Special relativity causes the clock to run slow by a couple of seconds after 42 years.
Remember, time is relative and the because the craft has undergone various speed changes and gravity assists throughout its journey a definite answer cannot be obtained.
So special relativistic time dilation calculations will only be approximate unless the full data sets of its journey are employed.
The answer lies with the clock on the wall at JPL but that could be slow because of Earths gravity well (relative to Voyager).

Throughout this whole conversation all Ive worked out is my watch may be slow! :argh:

For you, here on Earth, it is working just fine.

A conundrum that I have been discussing in earnest.
Funny one to ask on a forum like this but well,
some of us are rather switched on.

The Voyager Craft.
We have a space ship speeding away from earth with 100 years of plutonium fuel on board.

Does the fuel last 100 years our time and at what time does the fuel expire on Voyager. ?
And, Will Voyager travel further as time slows down when traveling away from earth. ?

To us, it is 100 years.
To Voyager, when will that happen. ?

I know there is a clock on board that was synced when the craft left but no one will answer
my question as to what the clock is now showing in our time.

ring nasa and ask em if its got long rang tanks,that would be a whole lot easier then seeing these blokes googling it and trying to sound intelligent......

I don't use google to answer questions ' who are you talking about ?

 

[LONEWOLF]

It also depends if Space has Daylight Savings... Then all time would be different Time...

Tweet Elon, He will know your answer... He loves that kind of stuff...

Both voyagers will be back.... they ain't goin nowhere fast (my thoughts), that's why they'll turn them off...... just like those deep space comets turnin round and commin back, so too will both of these eventually.
But who will want to stand up and tell that truth to the people of today.
It's called a gravity well for a reason.

 

[condor22]

I doubt anyone on this Forum will be alive to know when the Plutonium on Voyager expires.....

That's my "Theory of Relativity" for tonight, lol.

Good to know we have Ded Driver on here to answer real questions on these type subjects .

Thanks mate , I'm sure most would like the correct information to Tath's question .

[Smoky bandit]

I would be inclined to think that if it was built to last 100 earth years then that is how long it will last no matter where it is in space or time :lol: But hey,
I've never clamed to be smart layful: :beer:

 

[diggit]

Was the Plutonium stated to last 100 years 'universal time' or GMT?

Asking for a friend! :argh:
