Catching a ride on a Photon from Earth to Jupiter

[Cosmotheist]

Hello Folks,

This is an interesting animation of 45 minutes
or so in duration illustrating the scale of just a
small portion of the Solar System and the speed
of light:

Enjoy!

SUPER Kewel!

I think this is super cool way to understand the enormity of
space. You might want to note in your description that if you
were actually a photon traveling at the speed of light you
would not experience any time or distance. The time you are
expressing is the time as measured by a stationary observer.

Wade says...

Wow! Photons! Speedy little buggers, aren't they? I haven't
been on a ride like this since Dr. Eleanor Arroway (Jodie
Foster's character) took her eighteen minute voyage to
nowhere!



Thanks for posting this!

You are most welcome!

But, slow, relative to worm holes, eh?
The about 18 hours of static to nowhere?
As James Wood's character says of it:
"That is interesting isn't it?"



"This is the way its been done for billions of years.
Small moves Ellie, small moves."

Indeed.
Conquering any mountain or the world
for that matter is done one small step
at a time.

Earth, with "C"'s surrounding it from
both sides, and protecting it, our only
home for now, with our "Cosmotheism".

Like everything else in physics, our Universe strives to exist
in the lowest possible energy state possible. But around 10-36
seconds after the Big Bang, inflationary cosmologists believe
that the cosmos found itself resting instead at a "false vacuum
energy" – a low-point that wasn't really a low-point. Seeking
the true nadir of vacuum energy, over a minute fraction of a
moment, the Universe is thought to have ballooned by a factor
of 10+50!
