5 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoHow does one quantify time dilation?
I am planning to send a deep space probe on a 30 year (Earth time) mission at a top speed of 1/8 the speed of light. For simplicity, we will assume this speed to be constant. The spacecraft should experience less time passage due to time dilation. How much time will the spacecraft experience in 30 years of Earth time?
Obviously this is all hypothetical.

7 AnswersChristmas9 years agoIs mass constant or variable?
I had long been taught that weight depends on gravity, but mass is constant (even in a zero-gravity environment). Later I was taught that objects increase in mass as they approach the speed of light. Logic dictates that one of these statements is wrong, which is it?

3 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhy do askers select best answer?
Why does Yahoo Answers allow the person asking a question to unilaterally determine the best answer before the question can move to voting? It's so frequently abused by stupid people looking to confirm their own world view that I am dumbfounded by the lack of outrage expressed by the users of Yahoo Answers.
