Ask gilroy about it to go in more detail but the speed of light is not broken, time slows down more and more for the object travelling near C so the observer would see them moving in slow motion
I understand how that explains light’s speed being constant, but a particle like a neutrino...
If you’re travelling at a constant speed of half the speed of light, relative to a person on the ground, and you then throw a ball forward at a speed of just over half the speed of light relative to you, then at what speed does the observer on the ground see the ball travel at?
I know nothing can go faster than the speed of light, but since everything is relative, as far the you are...
I hate starting conversations
When I see someone who I want to talk to or ask them something or just say hi. I can never think of a good way of starting the conversation, and everything I can think of sounds stupid, needy or pathetic (in my head at least).
My brain sort of freezes up and I just end up pretending not to have seen or noticed them at all to avoid any possible awkwardness.

social anxiety, drown it with alcohol.
Not drinking tonight unfortunately. Sucks not being 18.
Going to have cigarettes to calm me down instead

Starting Differential Equations tomorrow
According to Mrs Ward it starts at about the same point as it starts in C4, but goes on for a lot longer.
I’m looking forward to doing it, but it’s 20% coursework which will be a bit shit.
Here’s the list from wikipedia of what they’re used for in Physics:
Newton’s Second Law in dynamics (mechanics)
Hamilton’s equations in classical mechanics
Radioactive...
