haha, well thanks for the support again Graybeard. You are a super cool guy in my book.
Concerning my newest invention, that is the world's most efficient reflector hood, I have taken pictures of it and I'm waiting to finish the roll so that I can get them developed and show you what is going to make lighting our homes so much more efficient that we will save tons on energy. All this from purveyor of knowledge, and now I am looking at how this technology can be used to make solar power much more efficient and hopefully a viable alternative to oil. You will like it when you see it Graybeard! This thing is... luminous! And did you ever notice how flowers are so bright? Sure they're brightly colored, but they also reflect light very well. Well, that's basically how this thing works too. It copies nature. I'm making my parents a christmas tree star and it's going to be awesome for christmas!!!
As far as patents, well, I don't really believe in them. I mean, everything we're inventing right now has already been invented by other races in the galaxy right? So I'm going to try and start my own solar company but that's not going to stop me from showing you guys exactly what I have done and how. Helping the world out is my first goal you know. All my technology and knowledge is free for everyone. But not the lightning director, not yet, because I have to study that a bit more and make sure people will not use it and go all crazy and stuff. hahaha
Ok, now on to the new telescope idea. It's not really a telescope so much as a device that I believe will allow you to see time slowing down, and possibly even to look back in time, and possibly even see beyond the event horizon. If this device works as I'm hoping it will it will allow us to see any event in history that ever Happened! That's because everything that has ever happened is permanently set in the "stone" of light. Amazing huh? Yeah, but the practicality of building it is going to be super difficult. Nothing purveyor of knowledge can't conquer of course!
SO here's how it works, but first a little description.
You are right that any object receding away from us at faster than TSOL will be beyond the cosmic horizon and we won't be able to see it. I do know what the cosmic horizon is, and it is exactly how you have described it.
However, in my telescope invention nothing actually travels at faster than the speed of light. It is only an ILLUSION created inside the mirror, you see.
So imagine you are looking at the mirror in your bathroom. If the mirror is one foot away then your image will also be one foot away, but you will appear in the mirror to actually be two feet away from yourself! That's because the light travels one foot to the mirror and another foot back so even though the mirror is only one foot away your image APPEARS to be two feet away.
Now imagine that, for some odd reason, the wall in your bathroom that the mirror is on starts to move directly away from you at 1/4 the speed of light. The image of you that lies on the mirror will only be moving away at 1/4 the speed of light but it will APPEAR to be actually receding at 1/2 the speed of light. That is because things appear to have depth in the mirror even though they are really flat.
Ok, do you understand so far? Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Let's say though, just for argument sake, that now your mirror is moving away from you at 1/2 the speed of light. THis means that the image of you on the surface of the mirror will only be moving away from you at 1/2 the speed of light, but if you consider the 3d land inside the mirror then the image of you in the mirror APPEARS to move away from you at twice that. Objects in the mirror appear to be retreating at twice the rate as the actual rate that the mirror surface is retreating. Do you see what I mean?
It's a trick that we can utilize because the light can undergo absolute acceleration by changing directions instantly when it hits the mirror.
It won't work for non-imaging objects like the moon. You have to have something that produces a reflected image in order for this invention to be cool.
So here's what I think it will do. As stated, objects in the mirror APPEAR to be receding at twice the rate that the mirror is receding because the mirror effectively doubles the distance. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light - it is just an illusion created in the mirror. SO here's what I predict, as the mirror recedes at a rate that approaches 1/2 the speed of light, the illusion in the mirror will be that objects appear to recede at a rate that approaches the speed of light. Remember, this is just an illusion and nothing physical ever travels faster than TSOL.
So as the mirror approaches 1/2 the speed of light away from you then time in the mirror will appear to slow down. Such that if you were looking at a mirror that is moving away from you at greater than 1/2 the speed of light then time in the mirror will actually APPEAR to proceed backward. In this way one should theoretically be able to look back in time. It is just a trick because the light undergoes absolute acceleration and changes direction instantly when it hits the surface of the mirror.
Time is nothing but a mirror anyways. See if you define that number that nobody likes then the number line becomes a mirror image of itself and is turned into a circle. So whenever we reach a point where the cosmic horizon has shrunk to a mere planck distance, time will reverse and be completely mirrored. This is what I've discovered. What this means you see is that we can use mirrors as a trick because time itself is really just a mirror that we're on only one side of and the dividing line of course is TSOL.
So the practicality of building the device is rather difficult because first of all it is extremely difficult to have a mirror move at even 1/2 the speed of light. Even if you did, it would be gone from you so quick that you wouldn't even be able to see into it. You'd have to track it with a telescope and even then you wouldn't be able to see it for long.
So that's why you have to use multiple mirrors and you have to have the mirrors travelling in circular paths so that they do not escape from you. I will draw up a diagram to show you how to set it up. But basically if you get LOTS of mirrors it shouldn't be too difficult to mimick the expansion of space using the mirrors and see what it would actually look like if an object receded at TSOL. Remember, it's just an illusion inside the mirror.
Now if you throw acceleration into the mix it's a whole new ballgame. For example, I theorize that if you look into a mirror that is ACCELERATING away from you at a quantum mechanical rate you may be able to enlarge the cosmic horizon as an illusion inside of the mirror. Now why I think that works I will explain to you if you wish but I must conclude for now because this post is long. But tell me what you think so far please. Thanks Graybeard!
cool bannanas
