This is a picture of my dad and me at Disney World last year!  My family (myself completely and 100% included) is Disney obsessed, and I have been to Disney World at least once every year since I was 2 years old!

BLOG#1 Light Speed and Time Travel

As described in movie Interstellar, Dr. Romilly stayed in the spaceship for 23 years but Cooper and Amelia just went to Planet Millar for about 3 hours. The scenario clearly demonstrates that time travels relatively slower on the Planet than in the spaceship since the planet is closer to the black hole. The short distance between the planet and black hole make the planet has such a high speed of rotation and revolution. According to restricted relativity, the faster one move the slower time goes compare to those moves at lower speed. And hypothetically when the moving speed achieves c, aka light speed, the time stops just as hypothesized in absolute zero.

Since we can “stop” the time at the speed of light, why don’t we imagine a little further. What if the speed surpasses the speed of light? Although real number cannot be calculated out when there are negative number under spare roots, it seems reasonable that we assume time can reverse at Superluminal speed. When travelling back through time truly become possible, future human beings will be able to find distinct answers to all archaeological problems.

Now the ship for travelling backward is prepared; how can we travel forward to see how the future is like? This is even easier than traveling to histories. Light-speed travel makes the individual experiencing it feels no time change, so no matter how long the outer world has changed through time, for the individual in our visit ship to the future, it’s still the same moment when his ship achieved/s light speed. Slow the ship down after appropriate time has achieved, and welcome to the future!

First Solar System Post

Hi all,

This is an aerial photograph of a state park about 30 minutes from the small town I call home (about 3000 people). I specifically remember watching a meteor shower from this beach one night when I was younger. That was easily one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

IMG_4665Hi! This picture was taken on the drive from my hometown of Denver, Colorado to Nashville for move-in weekend. I have done gymnastics since the age of 3, so this picture really represents a combination of my love for gymnastics and Colorado as well as my excitement to come to Vanderbilt!

Cherie’s Intro Post

Hi everyone. My name is Cherie and I love to travel. I was fortunate enough to travel to Spain this last Summer to visit my sister interning there. The attached photo is the bullfighting coliseum in Madrid. It was just like attending a baseball game in the U.S. – chants, snack vendors and overpriced goods.

Hey everyone! This was taken just behind my house in my beautiful home, northern Colorado! The mountains are my favorite part of being home; I love hiking, skiing, running, and biking there.

My cousins, sister and I skiing back in 2006 in New Hampshire. I haven’t been skiing since not sure if it is because my jacket doesn’t fit anymore or because I always had to get ski lifted down the mountain.
