[edit] Plank's time

I saw that you added the following section to the Plank's time article. I moved it to the disscussion page for since it seemed out of place and confusing. I could not see what value it added to the main article. Bshoemate 15:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Ignoring a factor of π, the Planck mass is roughly the mass of a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius equal to its Compton wavelength. The radius of such a black hole would be, roughly, the Planck length.

The following thought experiment illuminates this fact. The task is to measure an object's position by bouncing electromagnetic radiation, namely photons, off it. The shorter the wavelength of the photons, and hence the higher their energy, the more accurate the measurement. If the photons are sufficiently energetic to make possible a measurement more precise than a Planck length, their collision with the object would, in principle, create a minuscule black hole. This black hole would "swallow" the photon and thereby make it impossible to obtain a measurement. A simple calculation using dimensional analysis suggests that this problem arises if we attempt to measure an object's position with a precision greater than one Planck length.

This thought experiment draws on both general relativity and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. Combined, these two theories imply that it is impossible to measure position to a precision greater than the Planck length, or duration to a precision greater than the time a photon moving at c would take to travel a Planck length. Hence in any theory of quantum gravity combining general relativity and quantum mechanics, traditional notions of space and time will break down at distances shorter than the Planck length or times shorter than the Planck time.

Thanks for uploading Image:Electricjacobsladder.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

It's nothing personal. Wikipedia takes copyright pretty seriously. By policy, images must have their copyright status specified, or else they are deleted. There are several bots that scan newly uploaded images to check that a copyright status has been specified. --Srleffler 00:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It's weird to get a welcome, because I only recently made an account, but have been reading/editting for a while. ;D --HantaVirus 12:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Talk:Asperger Syndrome

Really hoping you will come back and contribute to the discussion on some of the issues you raised. This article recently had a lot of unbalanced editing and though it retained featured article status the emphasis has shifted too far away from the reality of AS. --Zeraeph 11:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Strait is on my side

"Lawl! Strait is on my side, wtf!? --HantaVirus 21:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)"

Why is this surprising? Have we been at odds before? --Strait 03:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I said that because several my edits have recieved further editing by you, as of late. And that was the first instance in which you were in agreement with something that I had said. Haha, I meant no foul. --HantaVirus 13:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
