That wormholes are physically impossible because of the conservation of energy, he used this pic as an example

Wormhole paradox - I came up with a theory which may disprove the existance of wormholes. In this picture you can see that a ball is accelerated indefinately due to the earths gravity. This violates the conservation of energy!

Now I may not know much about the intricate workings of a wormhole (as no one does) but I know enough to know that this is a very funny theory. I tried explaining that the conservation of energy regards a closed system, not one that has external input, to which he was confused. In reality this "theory" is no different than playing tether ball in space where the pole is a wormhole and your hits against the ball work the same way as the gravity provided by the Earth, he still didn't understand that, so I just had to say if this experiment were possible you would either have to stop the Earth rotating around the Sun or for the wormhole to travel simultaneously with the Earth on its journey, which I said is more impossible than the existence of wormholes.....
 
So what..? I love you, and if it wont be anything between us.. EVER... I'll wait.. and i don't care what they other say... if you two are getting married in some 10 years... I'll still wait... if i cant fight away the feelings for you in over a half year..? It may hurt much... But I'll still wait... Even if it will cost me 1000 tears in a week... And i will pay it... even if i dont get it... It will be worth it...
 
@ VeeBee that's fantastic, glad to hear your dad's OK :D

Removed a cyst? nice just watch for infection, else that bad boy will be back with a vengeance, I have a ganglion that I can't stand, but it's in my wrist so no D.I.Y surgery for that, I also have a snake tooth in my hand but I'll be lucky if I ever find that thing!

CT-Essex this weekend, should be interesting....

Thanks SpawnShooter. :D
Funnily enough, I've got a Ganglion on my ankle... tis huuuge. As for snake tooth... wow.

CT: Finally, I've got my room sorted.

Terminal velocity would prevent the mass (ball) from accelerating infinitely, if this is a wormhole for the purpose of the thought experiment and providing a means to make the ball continuously reappear in the same place rather than a 'real' Schwarzchild wormhole (in which case the ball would be shredded beyond all recognition when passing the singularity), but - as you say this would be a 'perpetual motion machine' that can't exist because you would need infinite energy to accelerate the ball to c and beyond, and a constant force such as that of Earth's gravity doesn't impose a constant change of speed in relativity.

Thank you, I swear some people watch a single Michio Kaku documentary and they think they're the next Einstein, I also tried to hesitate using the phrase purpetual motion as I usually find people like these, 9 times out of 10 seem to think they are possible.
 
^ I just not sure :(

Your avi's are always ***8*ng awesome though dude! but I don't think your current one has enough scales on him ;)

EDIT- that was meant to be @Storm, why must you always Ninja me Meg!!!!!

It seems to me that folks usually look at a diagram like the perpetual motion machine that looks like a millwheel with little metal balls dropping down continuously and think for a moment it would work, but then it dawns that the thing wouldn't really go anywhere... someone has to pull them back up. About the closest we can get are flywheels, superconductors and electromagnets and they still have to be 'paid for' with energy input. It really is so true, there's no such thing as a free lunch... anywhere! All those guys in the past trying to make something out of nothing... building those machines and watching them flop over when the energy runs out, or trying to turn base metals into gold. But almost anything is possible if you have the energy to spare. Like being a millionaire, I guess. You could accelerate mass to c if only you had all the energy in the universe... but then, there'd be no point. And you could make gold... but it'd cost you more than the gold's worth to do it. Ah the Creator's got a sense of irony all right. :9

Holy f*ck I'm helping someone else! D:

Because I'm just that good. ;)

CT: Chocolate fudge cupcakes with mint Oreos on the bottom, chocolate icing, and Andes mint chocolates on top is GENIUS!!! My coworkers are going to love me tomorrow. XD

EDIT: Whoops! Quoted the wrong thing. XD
 
I'm torn between autopsy and psychology...meh. ><
Which is more fun, analyzing a live person or a dead person? ;)

CT: Snowman! Snowman! I love my Huggable Snowman! :D:D:D

Also sad its getting late and I have to should take a shower, but I wanna play some Killzone 3 online! BUT! I'm also closing to beating arcade mode with every character in MVC3! What should I do?!?! :eek:
