High G forces can prolong your life...
« on: May 12, 2003, 05:22:24 PM »
Being an avid amatuer astronomer and reader of physics related material, I posit the following:

According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity which has long since been proven, time slows down when an object is in motion or is accelerating relative to another object in a steady state. Time also slows down if an object is in a higher gravitational state relative to surrounding objects.

Since accelleration and gravity are indistinguishable from eachother, they are one and the same. In other words, I'll use Einstein's old elevator analogy. If you are in an elevator and accellerate downward at 32 fps per second (the speed at which an object will freefall in Earth's gravity) you will be weightless and in a zero gravity environment relative to objects on the ground.

Therefore the opposite is true. If you accellerate upward at 32fps per second, you will experience twice the gravity you would normally experience while standing on the ground, and time will slow down relative to objects on the ground.

Of course this slowing down of time is miniscule until you begin approaching the speed of light, but time will slow down nonetheless.

From now on, anytime I go flying, I am going to climb off the runway in a near vertical attitude pulling as many G's as possible. I am also going to punch the gas pedal as hard as I can anytime I'm stopped a red light in my car so I get pushed back into the seat from the G forces. I will also wait till the last possible second to apply the brakes and smoke the tires when approaching a red light to achieve the maximum G forces possible. I will begin skipping instead of walking to achieve maximum upward accelleration with each step.

I figure these combined efforts will slow my time down enough to allow me to smoke say.... one more cigarette in my lifetime before I kick the bucket.

Yeah Grimco great idea but imagine explaining it to a cop who catches you at it.
Grimco:'But Officer I was just trying to extend my life span'.  Cop ' OK sir of course you are, (into radio, Officer needs assistance, I have a nutcase here)'.

Be warned too, that pilots who pull a lot of G's, like military and airshow pilots tend to have only female children. Strange but true.

 No. The Gs would prolong your life enough for someone else to smoke that cigarette.

LOL Cpxxx,

Being a former police officer myself, I would truly appreciate that explanation for speeding. Man, I've heard them all! LOL

As for pilots who normally fly in high G environments having mostly female children, I can believe it. Things that are unexplainable but regularly occur doesn't make them untrue.

BTW, I never knew that fact.  I love adding to my repetoire of useless information.  Thanks buddy!
