meters kilometers seconds minuites and hours of space time


We can be pretty good at judging a meter in a couple of short strides. We measure the amount of time we walk a meter. It is the length of time we say one thousand and one, light in a zero resistance of a vacuum like space had traveled just under three hundred thousand kilometers. ( Or a hundred and eighty six thousand miles if you like ).

The beauty of light speed it is a perfect mathematical consistent constant. It travels no more than just under three hundred thousand every second called a light second, the distance light travels in a second. It is the same amount of time the second hand of analogue clocks move a division, and the second numbers of digital time pieces take to change every number.

Light is made of particles called photons. Every photon oscillates in a waves forming a waving sheet covering the whole universe. The frequency is a single cycle ( expressed as a wavelength ) several thousand billion times in a second.

Mathematics tells us the reciprocal of several several thousand million is several hundred thousand millionth of a second. If we add the millionth seconds adds up to a whole second. Our mathematical instinct agrees one cycle is one divided by the frequency in the second and one cycle times the frequency in the second equals a second. This is a light second equal to a space time. By the time we say one thousand and one is a time of a second and equal to three hundred thousand kilometers of space or of distance. In other words a light second is a space time of three hundred thousand kilometers in a second of time.

For example to help make this clear our mathematical instinct agrees if a frequency of a million times in a second one cycle is equal to one divided by a million giving us a millionth of a second and if we multiply a millionth second by a million equals a second.

Our mathematical instinct agrees if we do the arithmetic on a light second ( or C for light's mathematical constant if you like ), in a minute is a simple matter of sixty seconds in a minute times three hundred thousand equals light had traveled eighteen million kilometers in a minute of space time. The same applies given in miles, a hundred and eighty six thousand times sixty gives us a space time distance of eleven million one hundred and sixty thousand miles.

Most of us know light takes eight minutes ( or just under to be exact ) to reach our eyes from the sun. Our math's instinct aggress in kilometers it is only a matter of eight times sixty equals four hundred and eighty second of space time and four hundred and eighty times three hundred thousand giving us a space a time distance of eighty nine million two hundred and eighty thousand miles the earth is from the sun. In other words the sun is the nearest star to earth only a mere eight light minutes away. 

We observe the sun's sunlight in real time as a projection of the sun as it was eight minutes ago every second. In real time light is three hundred thousand kilometers above the sun's surface by the time you finish this sentence. We won't see this sunlight until eight minutes into the future. The light we see now is three hundred thousand kilometers away from earth gaining three hundred thousand kilometer increments every second the further away it going. The sunlight that reached earth when life began is still traveling away from all those billions of years of our past.

Our math's instinct agrees we can operate on the principle we can apply this to an hour sixty times sixty ( sixty squared ) giving us eighty six thousand four hundred seconds. Our instinct agrees the formulae C ( light speed ) kilometers an hour equals sixty squared C per second. Those into challenging math's can work this out in miles. In other words light travels in three hundred thousand kilometer space time increments every second equating to kmph a significant factor to this story as every second adds distance in time. Number crunching the distance gives us  the distance light travels by the time a one our TV program space time. Our instinct agrees we can apply this adding up all the seconds of a day, a week, a month or year the distances light travels in those times.

Light being a perfect mathematical constant is only a matter of adding up the three hundred thousand kilometer increments of space time distance giving any amount of time.

We start our journey with a none stop acceleration from a stationary we will mark as 0 zero kilometers.

In one second we'd accelerated a distance of a meter in a second. By the next second we'd accelerated to ten meters. By the third second we'd accelerated to a hundred meters.

The standard metric system tells us there is a thousand meters in a kilometer. Our mathematical instinct agrees we'd accelerated a distance of a kilometer in .four seconds. We accelerated, one meter in a second, ten meters in two seconds, a hundred meters in three seconds and a thousand meters in four seconds flat. By this time we had traveled way- way beyond that of any supersonic jet fighter capabilities.

If we try to work out the kmph we discover there is none because it is a changing speed. We'd have to travel a constant velocity to work out the kilometers an hour. If we continue at the same acceleration by the end of the fifth second we'd travel ten kilometers. By the end of the sixth second we'd traveled a hundred kilometers and by the end of the seventh second we'd traveled a thousand kilometers. Math's tells us we'd accelerated a thousand kilometers in seven seconds flat.

When we reached ten kilometers a zero was added to the one kilometer. Another zero was added in the next second, ( making a hundred ) and by the seventh second another zero was added. ( making a thousand ) In other words every second adds a zero to that one.

By the end of the eighth second  we'd reached ten thousand kilometers ( four zeros ) in eight seconds. By the end of the ninth second we'd traveled a distance of a hundred thousand kilometers. ( one and five zero k number ). By the middle of the ninth second we'd surpassed light speed. In other words we'd reached it in nine and a half seconds.

By this time we can only speculate what would be happening to time according to Albert Einstein's special theory of reality. It is classic text book we can't go any faster than that. It is the maximum momentum speed limit of light in a zero resistance of any vacuum like space. Never the less, there are those that beg to differ we can exceed light speed. Lets see what the math's makes out of this..

By ten second we are beyond light speed were reached a distance of a million kilometers.( One and six  zero k )

By the end of the eleventh second second we'd reached a distance of ten million kilometers. ( One and seven zero k ) By the end of the thirteenth second we'd be a distance of ten million kilometers. ( One and eight zero k ). By fourteen seconds we'd be a thousand million kilometers were we started.( One with nine zero K number ).

Our mathematical instant tells us fifteen seconds is a quarter minute so accelerating ten times as fast every second means by that time we be ten thousand million kilometers away from where we started. Imagine the distance in half minute, let a lone in a full minute.

We can plot the distances traveled starting with one for a kilometer starting with five seconds adding a zero every second up to sixty in a minute. Our mathematical instinct agrees we can mathematically deduce the total distance in a minute simply by taking sixty take away four equates to one and fifty six zero k number in the whole minute.

By now we should be begin to wonder if there is any such thing as an infinite velocity. Using the term is deceptive because velocity implies a constant speed. It would be a case of infinite acceleration ten times the distance ever second indefinitely. We can mathematically deuce total distance in an hour three thousand six hundred second minus four giving us one three thousand six hundred  and ninety six zero k number no where near anything infinite.

Mathematics tells us in a day equates to eighty six thousand four hundred seconds minus four gives us a one and eighty six thousand three hundred and ninety six zero k number reached by the time a one hour TV program and is still not infinite. We can take all the seconds of a year, ( the seconds of a day eighty six thousand four hundred times three hundred and six five days of a normal year taking into account of the extra day at the end of every fourth February leap minus four seconds will give the distance accelerating ten times the distance every second in every second of the year.

Taking into account of the leap years in a decade we can mathematically deduce how far traveled in that time. Operating on the principle we can mathematically calculate in a century, a millennia ( a thousand years ), a million a billion even all the seconds of several thousands of millions of centuries and still no where near infinite.
