Well, what I ment with that, wich is the big point of relativety is, that, well, here's an easier example:

If you go into a black hole, you won't even notice that time stops.
If you have a clock with you in to the black hole, and you look at it, it will seem as it runs in normal speed.
This is what you see from your relative point of view.

Yes, they can see eachothers clocks.

The one outside the gravity:
When he looks at the guy exposed by gravity, it seems as he goes slower.

The one exposed by gravity:
When he looks at the man outside, it seems as he goes faster.

When they both looks at their own clocks, they don't notice that they go faster/slower, they seem to run as normal. :)

Motion and gravity causes these effects, nothing else as far as I know.
I'm going to have to re-research some things.
Well, that's not the whole theory, it's just the meaning of relativety.

But, please tell me if I'm wrong if you find anything. :)

Argh, I forgot chapter 8 in school again!
Well, I kinda remember what I wrote so, here goes!
Part. 8 - Everything is relative, exept..

The theory of RELATIVERY
Einstein said that everything is relative depending on how she spectator/observer moves, or the enviroments of the target.
What does that mean?
Well, I'm going to bring up an example here, wich we've been talking about before, and that is Time.

Person-one stands in a field of powerful gravitation, and person two is far away from there, observing person-one through a telescope.
They both have clocks.
When person-two looks at person-one's clock, it seems as it goes slower than his own, wich it in fact does.
But when person-one looks at person-two's clock, it seems as it goes faster!
Wich it does.
Now here's the big point.
When person-one looks at his own clock, he can't tell the difference from when time goes slower, or when it goes normal.
Person-two can't see that his clock goes faster than normal, but, the true normal speed is while exposed by no gravity at all, so, his clock does go the exact speed.

The same effect happens if person-two runs past person-one.
Sure, it has to be in an incredeble speed to be noticeable, but it is true.
When person-one looks at person-two's clock, it seems to go slower because he is moving.
And person-two thinks that person-ones clock goes faster.
But none of them notices that time goes faster or slower just for them.

Everything in the universe is relative in a similar way, exept the speed of LIGHT!

If we have a static light source placed out in space, and person-one stands right next to the light source, and person-two flies away from the light source in half the speed of light. (about 150 000 000 m/s )
They both tests how fast the light goes against them, and they both gets the same result!
The light always goes in 300 000 000 m/s, it doesn't mater how you move or if you're exposed by gravity, or anything like that.

I might have missed something, I'll look it up. :)

7th: You sure?
I asked my science-teacher and he said that you could do that.
But maybe he forgot something, as we all do sometimes, ;)

Here is how I counted:

2 x 300 000 000 x 300 000 000

When I shower my science teacher, I used my weight as example.
I said:

60 x 300 000 000 x 300 000 000.

But, here's the shit once again.

2 x 3 x 3 = 6 x 3 = 18
Now, I simply add all of the zeros.
1800 000 000 000 000 00

So, I do take m^2/s^2, but I don't do it like you shower.
I simply take 300 000 000 x 300 000 000.
That should do the trick, right? :S

[/confusing]

I'm sure your right 7th, I just wrote bad or something.
Or is the way I counted wrong? :S
Btw, the next chapter will be about the true meaning of the theory of relativety.
What did Einstein mean by relativety?

Part 7 - E=mc^2
Energy = mass x the speed of light x the speed of light huh?
So, um, what exactly does that mean?
Many people say that they are familiar with the equation, but few seems to know what it really does.
It isn't hard, so I'll show you, but I have to explain first.

Einstein said that energy once was mass, and mass is mass waiting to turn in to energy.
Energy has mass.
But to turn mass into energy, you ether has to travel in the speed of light, or, (this is a theory) you can use annihilation, wich means that normal matter collides with anti-matter.
anti-matter is, for example, if you have an atom;
it has a proton wich has the charge "positive",
it has an electron wich has the charge "negative",
and is has a neutron wich is neutral.
Anti matter is the OPPOSITE.
The proton has the charge "negative"
And the electron has the charge "positive"
But the neutron is still neutral.

So, when antimatter and matter collides, it turns into energy!

...but how much?

I have a stone in my pocket, nothing special with it really, it's just a stone.
It weights about 2 kilos.
Now we'll use the equation.

M = 2 (mass in kilo grams)
C^2 ?? 900 000 000 000 000 00 (I used 300 000 000^2 here, wich isn't the exact speed. Now remember, in this equation you use m/s, not KM/s or something like that)

ok, here we go.
2 x 900 000 000 000 000 00 = 1800 000 000 000 000 00
The amount of energy released will be almost
1800 000 000 000 000 00 JOULES.

And that's pretty much what the equation says..

I'm very sure on this chapter, but still I might be wrong somewhere.
Please correct me if you notice anything

I stated the theory of relativity when I was describing space-time. I was going to post about why time doesn't stand still for you, but it seems you figured it out before I could post
I still don't know WHY you can't see time going slower just for you, so, if you know I would gladly read! :D
No! i hate e=mc2!!! Energy!!! I am doing a gay song about E=mc2!! I FREAKIN HATE IT!! NOooooo..
Energy ,
Its E=MC2.
Its atoms in the air,
Theres Energy in the food that we all eat ,
Energy every time we stamp our feet!
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH
Wtf are you on about? lol.

E=mc^2 is a really easy equation.
You could in a minute or two figgure out how much energy an object could release if all of the mass turned in to energy.
For example.

I weight 60 KG. (this equation uses KG as mass unit, NOTHING else)

M = 60kg
C^2 = 300 000 000m/s x 300 000 000m/s (yeah, I know, it isn't exacly 300 000 000m/s, but, it's kinda hard else. :P )

M x C^2 = 60 x 300 000 000 x 300 000 000

5400 000 000 000 000 000 JOULE

So, if I just simply turns into energy, I'll create 5400 000 000 000 000 000 joule of energy.
Easy!
Next chapter: E=mc2 (started writing on it)

You forgot to add that Black holes appear when a huge mass star runs out of fuel (>30 times the mass our Sun has). I wrote about the running out of hydrogen thingy above.
That was in the previous chapter.
Part 5 - STARtale.
wich included the life of a star and the alternate end as a black hole depending on the mass.
ok mad that was good........ HELL what would it be like to go into a black hole. Why dont you be a test subject , SpaG! (heh)
Well, about what I wrote beneth this text, you might not even notice that you accedently went in to a black hole since you can still move as normal etc.
But, sure, you might notice it somehow. :P
Hey, sorry people I had my science teacher (who is very interested in physics, and he is REALLY good) correct my thingy about timetraveling into a black hole.
One statement was wrong, and that is.
YOU CAN MOVE EVEN THOUGH TIME STANDS STILL.
You don't even notice that time has stoped.
You keep on as always.
Later last night I re-read the chapter about time, (Einsteins Universe, that's the name of the book for those interested, by Niger Calder. :) )
and it said that, even in time runs slower for you, and a spectator notices it, you won't notice it.
That's what Einstein meaned with "Relativety"
Time runs as normal as always for you, but the relative speed for the spectator is much slower.
Sorry about that error, I'll fix it in the original text.
What we have gone through:

1.Space isn't empty.
2.The universe IS expanding
3.Dark matter
4.Dark energy
5.Gravity
6.Some random stuff about Time
7.Time travelling
8.Stars and how they age
9.Death of stars
10.Some facts about black holes
11.Some facts about neutron stars

So, what's next on the list?

Should I write some theories of "The birth of the universe"
I don't know a lot about it but sure, I could read about it.
Or maybe I could write about the true meaning of E=MC^2
I think I should write about the equation since it is very important.

And a neutron star is just when all the atoms in it are neutrons because the gravity is to strong for protons and electrons to exist independantly. they arn't one giant neutron
No, it isn't one giant neutron, it's just as many atoms as it would be but without electrons and protons.
I have in mind that my science teacher told me that the protons and electrons (only) melted together, not the neutrons.

What do you mean with "protons and electrons living independantly"? :S

[facts about black holes] <--- not done

SO what should I erite about black holes.

Would be great if you could help me.
Thanks
Edit:

What I've done so far:
Part 6 - The offspring of supernovas
[i]
I'll continue where I ended the last chapter, but more in detail.
What is a neutron star, and what is a black hole?
I'll try to answere that now.

Neutron stars
A neutron star is an extreamly compact star wich has extremly high density (around 1 billion grams / square centimeter )
The reason that it is called a neutron star is simple.
The gravity is so extream that the protons and neutrons is pushed together so hard that they become one and creates a neutron.
A neutron star isn't big, it's really small!
It's around 15 km in diameter.

Black holes ( Might be wrong on this one )

A "hole" in the dimensions.
Unlimited gravity (singularity) makes an infinite hole in the space.
You can't see how the hole goes deep, all that you can see is a black sphere.
You read about time traveling before, and I said some stuff about black holes.
Why do you not age in a black hole?
Well, remember, while exposed by gravity, time goes slower.
In a black hole, the gravity is UNLIMITED = unlimited slowdown = time stops totaly.
The gravity is so strong, not even light can escape from the black hole.
A ring of light is created around the hole as it sucks in light, and that is the only way to spot a black hole, exept that you will notice that you can't see any stars in a cirkle shaped area.

Every star, no matter how big or small it is, implodes. Because when the 'fuel' burns out there's no other force to resist the gravity, therefore the star implodes.
Yes, they all go red giant and then implodes.
They don't have to be big, just massive enough to go fusion from the start.

That is why there are so many plans on going to mars.
We need a place to go to when our sun goes red giant and makes BBQ out of earth.
When it does, the ice on mars will melt and create pooring water over some places on the planet, and might also create some kind of an atmosphere.
So, oh yes, our sun will go giant.
Hey! how bout 6 be about black holes. I dont think you mentioned this as big as i do. ok , Actually , going through a black hole Takes you to the other side of the universe , not time. You must - Have a gravity field strong enough to keepp the hole open .Go at the speed of light through it , so you dont get spahgettified! and then you'll pop out from another black hole far , far away Ps , this is a theory
Very confusing post, don't stress whily typing man, ;)
About black holes eh?
Well, that will include some serious shit about time, and it seems like I don't know that much about time as I though, so, I guess maybe if you guys can help me with it? :D
A WHOLE GIGANTIC CHAPTER by all the interested on TWHL, that would be pwnage.
Einstein didn't found a way to explain gravity fields, HE DISPROVED THEM. In his theories, gravity force was an imaginative force, created by human scientists because they had no other way to explain it. What really happens is mass curving the space-time, which causes objects to "slide" toward each other, like in your example. That's the theory behind gravity drives and faster-than-light travel. So antigravity energy inside galaxies is just another way for scientists to escuse their lack of actually accurate formulae.

PS: It's just a theory, just like anything else, so don't get offended by it.
The first thing that you said,, that's about what I said.
You could imagen that the rubber thing was space time, and mass "bends it" wich pulls stuff towards it.

What you said about dark energy..
I don't know if you can call that one busted because we don't know for sure.
But else, I agree with you, it is an excuse.

BUT
This could be the same shit as in maths.
A question was asked,
"What is the square root out of -1?"
Nothing we had back then could equal the square root out of -1, so they made an "excuse".
Imagenary numbers, or, how ever it is spelled. (i)
So the root out of -1 = i. ??
It's also an excuse, but it replaces something that really exists for maths is a closed system. ;)

Our star isn't going to implode, it's just going to burn out, like a coal on fire. It burns then leaves a smoldering white rock. A supernova only accurs if the star is big enough to become a red supergiant
This is what I've read most about, and really, I've read in several books that all stars (almost) will become red giants including our star.
It will become omega red, and it will implode, just no supernove, just a white dwarf.
Not enough energy will be made to make the energy "bounce".
Yes, the fuel will burn out, and then it happens, that is why it implodes, ya know, ;)

PTS: But he did say that you could see gravity that way, :S

And it isn't squarish.
It must be some kind of a cirkle if there is no resistance outside, like a sphere.
And therefore I wonder why the universe is bent that way wich Einstein and so on talks about.
Sure, maybe the dimension we live in is a sphere, but the space time is bent.
In that case, why?
What bends it?

Here's part 5. How to create a star from A to Z! :D
Part 5 - Startale

A gigantic gas cloud mainly of hydrogen and helium is hanging around on an open spot in the universe.
All of the gas together is loads of mass, and therefore it is gaining it's own gravity as it slowly gathers together.
Eventually it has collected all of the gas and what you can see now is a gigantic sphere of gas!
The sphere is getting smaller, not in mass, just smaller as the density of the gas goes higher, all because of the gravity.
Eventually the gravity is high enough to go fusion!
What happens in fusion is that the hydrogen atoms are exposed by such a hard pressure that they will "melt" together and create a heavier element such as helium.
When this happens a big amount of energy is released (heat) and therefore the sun now "burns".
The fusion continues as the elements inside gets heavier and heavier (will reach a limit though)
The star in new born, and glows blue because of the extream heat wich makes the light glow in a high frequence.

You can see how the star gets older by looking at the color.
[After birth]
-Blue
yellow
orange
-Red
[before death]

When the the fuel in the star almost is gone the star will start burning more fuel than before, wich pushes out the outer layer of the star wich makes the star bigger.
It is now red and much bigger than before.
In this condition the star is called "a reg giant".
It's not dead yet, one last event separates life and death.
The gravity now pulls back the outer layer and the whole star implodes!
This can end in two different ways.

1. (If the star has, about the same mass as our sun)
It implodes totaly, and all that's left is a small white dwarf.
Very roughly counter the white dward has almost the same mass as it had before, and the density is extreamly high.
The star still glows, weakly.

2. (If the star is a lot bigger than our star)
It goes supernova!
There are many different kinds of supernova, I'll go through one.
It implodes like end nr. 1, but the energy released on implosion bounces on the core and goes back out on the outher layer wich causes the whole star to explode!
A gigantic gascould of extreamly heavy elements is left after the explosion, and sometimes the core survives and creates a "neutron star", and sometimes the core implodes into a black hole.

The violent life of a star..

end of that chapter.
Chapter 6 will be about..?

There cannot be endless space , but , if it isn't , what stops it?
According to that statement the risk of an endless universe is bigger.
I believe in an endless universe.
No wall ol any other stuff could screen of the universe just like that, there has to be something behind that too.

"A wall is in the end of the universe!"
"So, uhm, what's behind the wall?"
"...shit"

Who said you've done anything..? Cow's just naturally smell, it's the methane. <- science!
Smartass! >_<
This is almost impossible for me to explain in a forum, you just have to research this stuff more. Use books instead of the internet, they are way better.
I told you, I read books.
Internet is for teh suckers.
I can't explain it in that way be cause that would make those in my age confused, it made me confused to btw.
I can't use that.
In my part 4 i simply explained the real meaning of time and some facts, not the exact way of how it works.
I'm now almost finnished part 5.
It will be about how a star is born.
It ain't very hard to understand so I can push that up to more details I think. :)
We can imagine anything, that's the power of the human mind. I am imagining something that is 7-SEVEN-dimensional right now. All you do is apply a variable to each dimension.

My seven-dimensional clock:
Length
Width
Hight
Color
Time-setting
Loudness
Maker

Programming helps you greatly if you have trouble thinking of more than 3 dimensions, think of arrays that have like 20 dimensions WHEW! A dimension is just a variable.
I don't think you understand exacly what I mean on this point.
a 4 dimensional body, how would it look?
We don't know.
I'm thinking about the dimensions of "direction" or, what you could call it.

We think 3 dimensional be cause we don't know how four dimensional looks, I think.

Why do I smell? :S What have I done?

What are you trying to explain? :P
No, wikipedia isn't my main source, I read loads of books.
What I type is a version simple enought so a student at my age would understand it ( 14 years old )
Writing that would make them explode scince they haven't been reading anything about the subject before. ^^

Anyways I've never heard that explenation of space time before.
I've heard this though:

You can't imagen the space time scince it is 4 dimensional.
No human mind can.
A space moves along a line wich is the 4 dimensional time line.
Inside the space events happens wich we notice inside..

I'm really having a hard time explaining it, sorry.

Edit:

No, I sware.
It would be really lame if you just stole stuff from wikipedia.
what I do is that I read books, many times.
And I then collect what I need for a chapter inside my head, sit back and thinks for a while to see if it will make sence, and then I write it.
Most stuff is already in my head as I have been resurching about this for 5 years.
Yes, I begon very early.

Time is in a dimension called spacetime, :)
Without the fourth dimension, no time.

When I think of time, I think of a cube representing our universe.
And then a fourth direction wich represents time, and the cube travells across the timeline, and it only goes one way.

I'll give you a link:

Yeah that's one of the three theories, I think it's called "The closed universe"

Einstein thought of the universe that way.
But scientists these days says that the test results points at that the universe is open.
That is that the universe is formed like a horse sadel.
But, as I mentioned earlier, I don't know a lot about that.

But what you said, it's a clever theory, and maybe in a few years we'll see wich one that is correct. :)

Argh, now I can't edit. :P

Thanks I guess, ^^
Edit:

Hey, I just relised something.
The thing we talked about before, about, the universe expands because of the "nothingness" outside draging it out, like a baloon in vacuum.
Then, if it keeps expanding, at the end maybe the inner pressure will be lower than the outer, wich will make the whole shit implode again.
That would restard the building of the universe again as it schrinks in to a singularity again.
But this would only be posseble if the space outside the universe is limited, wich it probebly isn't.

Space isn't a perfect vacuum, there are some molicules in it. Few but some.
Not just little, loads.
But relative to the space, it is very little.

For example, when a supernova occurs loads of gas is spread out in the space.
Without supernovas we wouldn't have had some of our heaviest elements. :D

And here's part 4, some facts about TIME.
Part 4 - What we call "Time".

Time is a big subject within filisofy and science.
What is time?
In physics the time is in a dimension called "spacetime", wich is a dimension where events occurs.
Spacetime is the fourth dimension (4D).
1.Length 2.Width 3.Height 4.Time

In science-fiction we often read about timetravelling both forward and backwards in time, but only one of these journies are posseble according to Einstein, and that is Forward!
There are two ways to travell to the future, and that is:
1. Be exposed by gravity. (the more the better)
2. Blast away in an extrem speed!

1. It is proved that time goes slower here on earth, but faster while travelling in the air, like in an airplane or similar, but that kind of difference doesn't do a lot of difference in time.
But as I said, the more gravity, the more the time will slowdown!

2. For example, if you blast away a clock in the speed of light, the clock will almost stop!

But there is a really good way to keep time, and that has to do with point 1, and that is if you travell into a black hole!
In a blackhole there is no time at all!
You would be completly timeless!
But there is a catch, or, make that two.
Number one.
Where there isn't time, there is no movement or any other kind of event, so you can't just decide "oh, I've been here long enough, time to get out"
You can't do a thing.

Number 2.
You're in a black hole, wich has a singularity!
Nothing escapes from a singularity, not even light!

I think part 5 will be about how a sun is born, now that the reader knows some about how gravity works

SpaG: What are you on about?

If you travell very fast, lets say, the time goes half the speed for you, than it does on earth.
Then, if your away for a year, and then return, you will be a half year older, and all others will be a year older!
Not in earth time, but in pure chemistry.
The chemical events in your body will slow down if you travell that fast.
So, you will be for example 53 years old on earth, but your body will infact be 52.5 years old! :D

Michel Jackson should have thought of that. Hah.

Umm,, vox, that makes you go back in time. (I think..? O.o)

I'll try to explain what I think..

BWOOM! You fly away from the earth in the speed of light, and you're no longer an event in the dimension of spacetime.
But the time on earth goes on..
When you then turn back, still travelling in the speed of light, and you eventually reach the earth, you're back in the exact same second as you left.
Wich, kinda makes you travel back, but, infact doesn't make you travell anyway at all.

But are you sure about that if you travell in the speed of light, time will stop?
I didn't know that. :)
Edit:
The theory holds that, relative to a stationary observer, time appears to pass more slowly for faster-moving bodies: for example, a moving clock will appear to run slow; as a clock approaches the speed of light its hands will appear to nearly stop moving
Wikipedia. :)
it doesn't stop, it's just, much slower.
Close enough. ;)

And I was wrong:
These effects are to some degree similar to hibernation or hypothetical suspended animation (which slow down the rates of chemical processes in the subject), and only allow "time travel" only toward the future: never backward.

Edit2:

Oh, I get it now!

If time is moving slow for you, but fast for the others, and you return, you will return to the future, not to the same time as you left.
Amazing..

Great idea gordon!
I'll have a chapter about time!

But,, I don't know alot about time ether.
Well, I do know some stuff..
I'll do it! :>

Hey, Einstein said something about, you can't travell into the future, only to the past, right?

I've never heard of it, but I'll do what I do the best, learn, ;D

Edit:

A bit to advanced I'm afraid.. The text on wikipedia that is.
I'll look for a book.
Do you think you can explain what it is about in an easy way, so I just could get started on it a bit? ^^
There was no explenation in swedish so I'm really having a hard time understanding it.

It seems advanced so if I manage to understand this theory I'll put it somewhere in the end of the "book".

Any other suggestions for part 4?
good book on it: Chaos: Making a science by James Gleick.
I'll look for it. :)

I don't believe in god either.
I do believe in that we will go to a better place where we can go back to earth or, whatever and perhaps visit your family.

Many people in my family claims to have heard the voices or, laughs of those who has passed away.

Sure, if one does it you can think that it simply was an ilussion.
But if several people hears the same thing without talking to the other it gets kinda strange.
So, I believe in that.

BTW.
Any suggestions on Part 4 in my "book"?
I though as mentioned earlier that I would bring up some stuff about dark matter and dark energy.
