(...) I would think all TFT's are pretty similar, but I thought I read somewhere in some review of some laptop that a "con" of it was a slower refresh and I didn't remember noticing that it wasn't a TFT. But I also noticed a marked difference in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Not quite sure what you mean by "inertial" and "noninertial," since as you point out previously *everyone* is moving. However, within a local inertial frame the Doppler shift of light can be identified to be of a particular character (I don't (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Just looked this up in Britannica Online. (Search for "time dilation"). Acceleration definitely plays into it. *All* clocks in non-accelerating motion relative to an observer run slow by his/her frame of reference. (Thus potentially causing (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) "UXGA" a name for a screen resolution, not a brand name...just in case there was any confusion. :-) CGA => 320x200 VGA => 640x480 SVGA => 800x600 XGA => 1024x768 SXGA => 1400x1050 UXGA => 1600x1200 I just noticed that Dell is beginning to sell (...)

(...) Maybe. I don't understand it well enough. Lemme think about the headlights thing.... For someone standing on earth, light is moving away at about 300,000km/sec. Then, say we have a spaceship, moving at half the speed of light relative to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) The actual slowing takes place during acceleration, but it will persist at the slowed rate once acceleration ceases, lasting until the traveler drops back into the other (apparently stationary) inertial frame. Dave! (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Um, actually, it's the Law of Gravity. It's been proven (at least the basic aspects) over and over enough times that you can accept it as a Law.

(...) Does this mean once a person is travelling at a particular velocity (e.g. .99c), he will not feel any further time dilation effects if he is no longer accelerating? IOW, is time dilation only experienced during acceleration? Jude (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, everyone is moving, but the important thing is how people are moving in relation to each other. That's why it's called the theory of Relativity. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
