Question:
Time-frames, photons and cake?
2011-05-01 02:55:35 UTC
a bear on the moon eats a cake and then the event is witnessed through a telescope on earth at a distance of 250,000,000 miles or approx 1.5 light seconds. Is there really a delay between the eating and the viewing or is the delay really just the result of the Earth traveling away from the big bang or the CMB at lightspeed? Do the photons experience a more absolute time-frame in that from their point of view the eating and the seeing happen simultaneously. Will all waves or particles travelling at lightspeed agree on the timing off events? Is there anyway this insight could be employed to create stickier more sugary buns and other doughy confections. Can I eat my cake and have it? I can see this could be very useful.

I eat my cake and have it. You can too, by managing ur time. Yes it is useful.

Inasmuch as the photons undergo quantum entanglement, your only recourse is to harvest the scat as your primary sticky ingredient source. Your earth-moon distance estimate is excessive by a factor of 10 since you didn't include your tiny size -- a common mistake when calculating relative distances. Since there is no air on the moon, the bear's buns could not possibly be sticky given the lack of friction and the bear's tendency to be thorough in his application of toilet tissue.

Bears and physics don't mix..... stick to honey and tipping over trash cans.
