If forces go to infinity when do forces become negligible? When their effects are no longer detectable Mitch Raemsch Tom Davidson Richmond, VA So the effective range of a force is where it is where it is no longer detectable? I knew it wasn't infinity. But will science accept this? Mitch Raemsch Not quite. A force becomes *negligible* when *its effects* are no longer detectable. Just because a force is weakened (i.e. by distance) to the point its effects cannot be detected, that does not mean that it is ineffective. It just means that *our ability to measure the effects* has room for improvement. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I believe that if a force's effect has no consequences any longer that it could be considered as if it weren't there Tad. |

You find the (or a) midst of matter in the universal brane-frame. The middl of the univers was 14 billion years ago. No, it's just that the universe is larger than you thought it was. Nope, I think it is infinite. Can't be larger than that. sorry, you are wrong as usual but will never admit it. Nothing is infinite. -Aut |
