That just makes no sense. "If the universe was the size of my laptop" then what time would it take light to pass over it? How long is a km in that scale? And are you not part of that universe? If so, you cannot move your hand over it. If not, your speed is not relevant to it.patricktaylor said:if the universe was the size of my laptop, and i moved my hand over my laptop from one end to the the other in let's say ... 1 second . relative too the universe my hand would have moved millions of times faster than the speed of light. Why is this? is speed relative to size?
patricktaylor said:the point of the question was to see if by me, hypotheticaly being larger than the universe and if you like .. separate from it. Would my finger break the light speed constant as it was passing over the laptop sized universe? even though the speed of my hand would seem slow to me
What is the size of your laptop? I'm guessing it is about 1 foot (or about 0.3 meters). So, "if the universe was the size of my laptop" means the same thing as "if the universe was about 1 foot in size".patricktaylor said:if the universe was the size of my laptop, and i moved my hand over my laptop from one end to the the other in let's say ... 1 second . relative too the universe my hand would have moved millions of times faster than the speed of light.

Since this is not only outside mainstream science, but contradictory to say something is two different sizes, this thread is now closed for discussion.ryanmichaelrey said:It's like having 2 dimensions in 1 universe. First dimension is your larger version, and the other dimension is the minimized universe (based on your statement). Based on the extent of my knowledge, the 2 dimension will have 2 different laws.
Relative speed and size is a concept used to describe the motion and size of objects in relation to each other. It takes into account the velocity and dimensions of different objects and how they interact with each other.
Relative speed is typically measured in units of distance divided by time, such as meters per second. Size can be measured in various units, such as meters, feet, or kilometers. The specific units used depend on the objects being measured.
When two objects collide, their relative speed and size can determine the severity of the impact. If the objects have a large relative speed and are similar in size, the collision will likely be more forceful. However, if the relative speed is low and the objects have a significant difference in size, the impact may be less severe.
Yes, relative speed and size can change depending on the motion and interactions of objects. For example, if one object accelerates while the other remains stationary, their relative speeds will change. Similarly, if one object changes in size while the other remains the same, their relative sizes will change.
Relative speed and size are important concepts in many scientific fields, such as physics, astronomy, and biology. They are used to study the motion and interactions of objects, as well as to make predictions and calculations about their behavior. Understanding relative speed and size can also help scientists better understand the laws and principles that govern the physical world.
