Blackout Pointer Theory

Blackout Pointer Theory The Blackout Pointer  Theory was a theory given by Aarav Rawal in 2017. It is derived from the Special Theory of Relativity of Einstein. It is a part of relativistic mechanics. Its main objective is to theoretically prove the working of a time machine. A time machine can take you into the past or the future although this theory explains only how it can take you behind in time. In Einsteins Special theory of Relativity, albert says that if you travel at the speed of light then time will be equal to zero because the light coming from your surroundings will not be able to catchup to you. This can be mathematically proved: {\displaystyle Vrel=c-v} {\displaystyle v=c\therefore } {\displaystyle Vrel=0} {\displaystyle \because t={d \over Vrel}\therefore t={d \over 0}=0} If time becomes zero then everything around would seem stationary. Blackout Pointer Theory Lets take an example that includes the time dilation formula. Lets say you sleep f

Deriving the E=mc²

Perhaps the most famous equation of all time is E = mc 2 . The equation is a direct result of the theory of special relativity, but what does it mean and how did Einstein find it? In short, the equation describes how energy and mass are related. Einstein used a brilliant thought experiment to arrive at this equation, which we will briefly review here. First of all, let us consider a particle of light, also known as a photon. One of the interesting properties of photons is that they have momentum and yet have no mass. This was established in the 1850s by James Clerk Maxwell. However, if we recall our basic physics, we know that momentum is made up of two components: mass and velocity. How can a photon have momentum and yet not have a mass? Einstein’s great insight was that the energy of a photon must be equivalent to a quantity of mass  and hence could be related to the momentum. Einstein’s thought experiment runs as follows. First, imagine a stationary box f
