[21:31:44] FUCKING MARCUS: what even is GPE
[21:40:11] Firefox11: Globally Pretentious Enemy
[21:40:38] FUCKING MARCUS: no i mean
[21:40:44] FUCKING MARCUS: i know it's gravitational potential energy
[21:40:47] FUCKING MARCUS: BUT WHAT IS THAT
[21:40:58] FUCKING MARCUS: LIKE OK
[21:41:02] FUCKING MARCUS: WHEN YOU FALL DUE TO GRAVITY
[21:41:05] FUCKING MARCUS: SHIT HAPPENS
[21:41:06] FUCKING MARCUS: AND STUFF
[21:41:07] FUCKING MARCUS: BUT
[21:41:08] FUCKING MARCUS: ???
[21:41:14] FUCKING MARCUS: WHY DONT YOU LIKE
[21:41:18] FUCKING MARCUS: EXPLAIN HOW THAT WORKS
[21:41:31] FUCKING MARCUS: arghghgh
[21:41:35] FUCKING MARCUS: physics annoys me
[21:41:46] FUCKING MARCUS: i shouldve taken englit instead
[21:41:48] Spriter: lmao
[21:41:55] FUCKING MARCUS: i shouldve just
[21:41:57] FUCKING MARCUS: taken englit
[21:41:59] FUCKING MARCUS: englang
[21:42:02] FUCKING MARCUS: and german
[21:42:04] FUCKING MARCUS: fucking
[21:42:07] FUCKING MARCUS: maths and physics
[21:42:09] FUCKING MARCUS: fuck that
[21:42:23] FUCKING MARCUS: i'll become an author who makes less than minimum wage
[21:42:32] FUCKING MARCUS: fuck y'all
[21:42:33] FUCKING MARCUS:

[21:44:20] Dabir: you will never finish anything
[21:44:26] Dabir: you'll die penniless and alone and you'll have deserved it
[21:44:48] Dabir: sorry just talking to myself there
[21:54:41] ShadowSpectre: physicists are notoriously bad at explaining thingsbut I'm a molecular physicist yo
[21:55:52] ShadowSpectre: what even is GPEGPE is the sum total of energy gravity would need to exert to move an object to the centre of gravitational pull
[21:56:29] ShadowSpectre: but it has no like
[21:56:38] ShadowSpectre: "stop" point because gravity is a 3D thing
[21:56:45] ShadowSpectre: so when you get to the centre of gravity
[21:56:49] ShadowSpectre: great
[21:56:51] ShadowSpectre: you're there
[21:56:57] ShadowSpectre: but you have all this energy as kinetic energy
[21:57:06] ShadowSpectre: and you just keep going past that centre
[21:57:21] ShadowSpectre: and then gravity's like whoa there buddy you better slow down and come home right now young lady
[21:57:46] ShadowSpectre: think of it as the tension in a spring when you pull it
[21:57:53] ShadowSpectre: except invisible
[21:58:02] ShadowSpectre: and the spring is massless
[21:58:11] ShadowSpectre: and infinitely large
[21:58:51] ShadowSpectre: there u go
[21:59:25] ShadowSpectre: do you guys know of any music albums I should really get
[22:01:01] FUCKING MARCUS: why do you have that energy as kinetic energy though
[22:01:13] ShadowSpectre: how else are you going to move the thing
[22:01:16] FUCKING MARCUS: why is there sound energy
[22:01:20] FUCKING MARCUS: why is there not existing energy
[22:01:25] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: kinetic energy is for nubs
[22:01:25] ShadowSpectre: sound energy is just weird kinetic energy
[22:01:35] ShadowSpectre: what do you mean not existing energy
[22:01:40] FUCKING MARCUS: as in
[22:01:40] ShadowSpectre: energy for not existing?
[22:01:43] FUCKING MARCUS: why is there not
[22:01:45] FUCKING MARCUS: existing energy
[22:01:49] FUCKING MARCUS: energy for existing
[22:01:49] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: ?
[22:01:52] ShadowSpectre: there is
[22:01:58] ShadowSpectre: it's called zero point energy
[22:01:58] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: it just isn't called that
[22:02:03] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: that
[22:02:18] FUCKING MARCUS: what about not existing energy then
[22:02:28] FUCKING MARCUS: why are energy and mass different
[22:02:41] ShadowSpectre: energy is related to mass by E= mc^2
[22:02:49] ShadowSpectre: that was why it was such a big thing
[22:02:51] FUCKING MARCUS: im aware
[22:02:53] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: [21:57] ShadowSpectre:
<<< and then gravity's like whoa there buddy you better slow down and come home right now young ladylol
[22:02:54] FUCKING MARCUS: hence
[22:02:56] ShadowSpectre: nobody could figure it out before that
[22:02:57] FUCKING MARCUS: why are they different
[22:03:00] ShadowSpectre: they're not
[22:03:03] ShadowSpectre: not any more
[22:03:06] FUCKING MARCUS: why dont we just call it
[22:03:07] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: think of it like swirling on the edge of a toilet
[22:03:09] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: aka my life
[22:03:09] FUCKING MARCUS: Emassagy
[22:03:20] ShadowSpectre: because physicists don't understand sexy massages
[22:03:25] ShadowSpectre: and the joke would be lost on them
[22:03:41] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: physicists have never felt hte touch of human love
[22:03:43] FUCKING MARCUS: why dont we just
[22:03:45] ShadowSpectre: anyway yeah mass and energy are exactly the same thing
[22:03:47] FUCKING MARCUS: make stuff not exist
[22:03:48] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: unlike engineers
[22:03:50] ShadowSpectre: energy is just like
[22:03:51] FUCKING MARCUS: to move at the speed of light
[22:03:54] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: they get all of the mad pussy
[22:03:56] FUCKING MARCUS: like
[22:04:00] ShadowSpectre: not-yet-collapsed mass
[22:04:07] ShadowSpectre: also what
[22:04:09] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: the speed of light is just a social construct
[22:04:09] ShadowSpectre: what are you talking about
[22:04:10] FUCKING MARCUS: dew
[22:04:12] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: like gender
[22:04:12] FUCKING MARCUS: wejfewp
[22:04:13] ShadowSpectre: that's a nonquestion
[22:04:16] FUCKING MARCUS: it doesnt make sense
[22:04:29] ShadowSpectre: voice chat now
[22:04:30 | Edited 22:04:43] FUCKING MARCUS: why is the speed of light the 'limit'
[22:04:35] FUCKING MARCUS: no
[22:04:36] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:04:37] ShadowSpectre: it isn't
[22:04:37] FUCKING MARCUS: reading
[22:04:50] FUCKING MARCUS: why cant we move faster than the speed of light then
[22:05:00] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: i feel general relativity is a topic too big for this skype chat
[22:05:00] FUCKING MARCUS: how can black holes stop light from escaping
[22:05:20] FUCKING MARCUS: why is energy related to mass by the speed of light
[22:05:21] FUCKING MARCUS: and not
[22:05:21] FUCKING MARCUS: say
[22:05:23] FUCKING MARCUS: the speed of sound
[22:05:30] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: the speed of sound is super slow
[22:05:32] FUCKING MARCUS: what if we're a bat
[22:05:37] FUCKING MARCUS: and we don't see things by light
[22:05:39] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: and it's just moving matter
[22:05:40] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: that's it
[22:05:40] Dabir: the speed of light isn't a hard limit, it's just that anything with mass would need energy to go fast but the energy would add mass
[22:05:41] FUCKING MARCUS: im aware
[22:05:43] Spriter: ...
[22:05:43] Spriter: flan
[22:05:44] ShadowSpectre: we can't atm because in a local frame, essentially it's the fastest that we can detect and we have no reason to assume it's anything different
[22:05:44] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: sound is just matter that's moving
[22:05:45] Spriter: you're an idiot
[22:05:46] Spriter: bats do see
[22:05:49] Dabir: so then it would need more energy and rip
[22:05:50] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: it's p boring
[22:05:54] Spriter: they just use echolocation to see better
[22:06:00] ShadowSpectre: except we now have evidence that over huge areas, you can overcome the speed of light
[22:06:00] FUCKING MARCUS: what if there's superlight
[22:06:04] ShadowSpectre: but in a technical way
[22:06:06] ShadowSpectre: like
[22:06:13] ShadowSpectre: where you take shortcuts through space instead
[22:06:15] Spriter: because holy shit what do you know bats are nocturnal
[22:06:23] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: i cum faster than light
[22:06:26] FUCKING MARCUS: isnt that just wormholes
[22:06:29] ShadowSpectre: not quite
[22:06:29] FUCKING MARCUS: @ss
[22:06:32] Dabir: what's up with that nasa ion engine thing
[22:06:35] FUCKING MARCUS: folding space and shit
[22:06:41] Spriter: Alo
[22:06:43] Dabir: is that a warp drive yet
[22:06:45] Spriter: Also*
[22:06:47] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: no
[22:06:47] ShadowSpectre: basically space is stretchy, too
[22:06:50] Spriter: serious conversation in the uff chat
[22:06:50] ShadowSpectre: also yes @Dabir
[22:06:53] Spriter: what the fuck
[22:06:57] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: warp drives are sifi @ dabir
[22:06:57] ShadowSpectre: they found evidence of it
[22:07:00] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: sifi isn't real
[22:07:02] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: duh
[22:07:02] ShadowSpectre: nope@mint
[22:07:11] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: sifi is fake propaganda
[22:07:17] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: made by the bush administration
[22:07:17] Dabir: they've made a real alcubierre drive then? cause I heard it was probably bullshit
[22:07:23] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: to trick you into brushing your teeth
[22:07:30] FUCKING MARCUS: how do you fold 3d space
[22:07:32] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:07:35] ShadowSpectre: gravity
[22:07:40] ShadowSpectre: a shitton of gravity
[22:07:40] FUCKING MARCUS: why gravity
[22:07:43] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: just like you fold a piece of paper
[22:07:43] FUCKING MARCUS: why not any other thing
[22:07:54 | Edited 22:07:57] FUCKING MARCUS: but how are we supposed to survive the trip
[22:07:54] Dabir: because that's how you do it
[22:07:58] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: it's not like folding 3d space is any different than 2d space
[22:07:58] ShadowSpectre: why do I call you flan
[22:07:58] Dabir: we'r enot
[22:08:01] FUCKING MARCUS: if theres so much gravity
[22:08:05] Dabir: why would we be supposed to do anything
[22:08:09] ShadowSpectre: it could be called anything
[22:08:11] Dabir: the world doesn't work like that
[22:08:16] ShadowSpectre: it's still the thing that does it
[22:08:16] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: gravity isn't real
[22:08:19] FUCKING MARCUS: yeah but i mean
[22:08:22] FUCKING MARCUS: why gravity specifically
[22:08:23] Dabir: gravity is like a bowling ball on the bedsheet of space
[22:08:27] ShadowSpectre: how do you mean
[22:08:29] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: gravity is actually a repulsive force
[22:08:32] ShadowSpectre: I don't understand your question
[22:08:35 | Edited 22:08:36] Dabir: no mint that's your mum
[22:08:36] FUCKING MARCUS: why not any other thing
[22:08:38] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:08:39] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: @ dabir
[22:08:41] FUCKING MARCUS: you know
[22:08:42] FUCKING MARCUS: things
[22:08:46] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: my mom generates a shit ton of gravity
[22:08:48] FUCKING MARCUS: why gravity and why light
[22:08:51] ShadowSpectre: gravity is the only infinite-distance working force we know of
[22:09:01] FUCKING MARCUS: why dont we make another one then
[22:09:04] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:05] ShadowSpectre: as a result it's the only thing that literally ties everything together
[22:09:10] ShadowSpectre: we don't know how yet
[22:09:17] FUCKING MARCUS: why not
[22:09:17] Dabir: so jedi are just masters of gravity
[22:09:18] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: i'm feeling your gravity from over here
[22:09:21] ShadowSpectre: everything that we have figured out is on the small scale
[22:09:37] FUCKING MARCUS: why dont we just send someone into a black hole
[22:09:40] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:41] Dabir: flan are you working up to a massive TTGL reference
[22:09:45] ShadowSpectre: they're really far away
[22:09:48] Dabir: cause you're not allowed to do that
[22:09:49] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:50] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:51] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:51] FUCKING MARCUS: well
[22:09:51] THERE AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE AN AMY HOUSE PARTY: lol
[22:09:52] FUCKING MARCUS: fuck
