'Space' is often thought of as having 3 'dimensions'
whereas 'time' is often thought of as having one.
It is possible for many people to conceive of spatial dimensions
in a photograph or painting being set in a specific time.
I once remember reading in an astronomy magazine about 10 or
20 years ago where material streaming from maybe a pulsar
or quasar of going faster than light upon one vector direction
but not necessarily across the vector that the mass material
was going. In other words, since the mass stream was going at
an angle it was going 'faster than light' in comparison with
another reference frame.
Then there is something called Cherenkov radiation that deal
with light not in a vacuum.
These specific 'ideas' in this circumstance are conveyed by
a mechanism known of as 'writing', however images or sounds
that are not in the form or writing might theoretically
potentially have meaning also in some circumstances. That
meaning might vary between different people at times.

And you pretend to be studying physics? Can't even count as
high as five yet pretending to be studying physics?
Photons don't experience time. Thus, they don't experience space.
There is literally nothing separating any point is space from
any other point they can potentially reach.
It's all the exact same place and exact same time, to the photon.

Of course we do. It's inescapable. Once you say they don't
experience time that means they don't experience
distance/space.
But you are reacting as predicted.
i wanna suck black ass
hiram, this is a serious physics discussion. you have to bring in
the physics of ass sucking to counter.
I've never studied the physics of black ass sucking but it does
sound interesting.
there is a course on that at columbia and nyu. its called power to
the people. it has dynamics, thermodynamics and ai and neurology.
sounds hard

Maybe just a switch to verified users. That'll end the

Instead, there are 3 spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension that we can be sure of as we can observe them.
It is possible for many people to conceive of spatial dimensions
in a photograph or painting being set in a specific time.
In a photograph or painting, the observed 3 spatial dimensions are projected onto a 2-dimensional surface.
I once remember reading in an astronomy magazine about 10 or
20 years ago where material streaming from maybe a pulsar
or quasar of going faster than light upon one vector direction
but not necessarily across the vector that the mass material
was going. In other words, since the mass stream was going at

Yes, these are only apparent speeds faster than light.
Then there is something called Cherenkov radiation that deal
with light not in a vacuum.
Cherenkov radiation is emitted by electrically charged particles when they move faster than light relative to a medium, similar to the shockwave that
is created, and called a "sonic boom", when an object is moving through air faster than the speed of sound in air. This is possible because the phase speed of light in a medium is usually less than in vacuum (if the medium has a index of refraction n greater than 1), and which is the correct
explanation for refraction in the first place:
v_ph = c/n.

I have no idea what you are getting at.

cant be because then running this simulation would be pointless.
