I do not pretend to be a physisit but I've read a few books, and
my mind is blown by this idea I had. I just don't know if this
conclusion has been arrived at yet or not, but if it has, I'm sure it
was Einstein who saw it first. But I just realized that with Newton's
first law of motion (that an object will stay at rest or continue at a
constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force),
that ever since the big bang, we ourselves and everything in the
universe has got to be moving at the speed of light and has been this
whole time simply because of the big bang. We do not observe this from
an earthly reference frame because of Einstein's time dilation (time
slows down for those approaching the speed of light), and that is why
we are able to see the universe expand at such a slow rate. And
finally, like a fly that would travel faster than a speeding car
simply by flying from the backseat to the front, we still observe
light propagating through space at its normal speed from within our
reference point. That is why c (the velocity of light) is squared in
the equations such as E = mc^2; because we are already moving through
the void of space at the speed of light once, yet our actions
propagate in space at the speed of light yet another time; so the
velocity of light has to be brought to the power of two for its use in
calculating the curvature of space-time in a gravitational field for
instance.
Am I the first person to come up with this idea? And if I am,
shouldn't I get some kind of award or something for this?
Congratulations, you have just been awarded a week's holiday in Sydney with
Eric Geese to coincide with its gay mardigras.
Because I've
read Relativity by Einstein as you can plainly see, and he did not say
that we ourselves were already moving at the velocity of light, unless
I've accidentally skipped a page. But I have not read much more on the
subject either, as you can probably once again plainly see. Let me
know.
