Waaait.. why does the ball not lose it's bouncing height? Does the height of the bounce actually depend on the density of the object it's bouncing on?

Next weeks topic: Teleportation

Is it possible? Why/why not?

If I could mark this as the most interesting thread in the history of threads, I would.

Ball and height, if a super ball was dropped from 6 ft in the air on any kind of object the had UNLIMITED density the ball would bounce right back up to 6 ft exactly and fall back down and bounce right up to 6ft again etc.

Furthermore if you drop a super ball on smooth concrete and smooth wood, which will cause it to bounce higher off the ground? the concrete because its more dense then the wood(in most cases) and the ball is less dense, thus more atoms atoms absorbing the impact and sending it right back at the object,

Its really hard to acknowledge this without something really explanatory, so heres my best shot, if you dropped Mercury (13.5336 density) on Mercury (13.5336 density) you wouldnt have much of a bounce because they all most cancel out (Their density is the same) but don't because of the speed in which the mercury is dropped on the other mercury. But if you dropped Tin (7.287 density) from the same height traveling at the same speed as the Mercury did onto Mercury (13.5336) again you would get almost the twice amount as bounce as you did with the mercury.

I hope this helped!

And teleportation i might cover next week depending on topics that have to do with Universe and Matter, no life science with DNA

Drop a metal ball on metal, it wont bounce. Drop a metal ball on wood, it wont bounce. Drop a metal ball on a trampoline its gonna knock you the f@@k out! Cant wait for the teleportion thread.

nice explanation i cant beileive i didnt think of that,

Oski: When a very dense object falls on a less dense object it wont bounce depending on the velocity,and how much the other object can withstand force and not break in half.

And the teleportation thing there isnt much to talk about, i havent heard of any possible theories besides the wormhole theories, and come to find out theres different types of worm holes essentially the same, ones like the anvil and the ball in the picture i made that states you can travel from one area to another in no time at all and/or the ones that allow you to time travel in no time at all depending on "the size of the wormhole" which i havent really gotten into yet to know alot about

Teleportation is certainly possible right now. Just not for complex mass.

I believe 1 proton is the current limit, I'll post better info tomorrow unless someone else finds it first.

I'm really courious about this cause the only ways I think it can be achieved is by a worm hole

I think the problem with teleporting is that there's no way to rearrange atoms at the place you've sent them to.

How about the relativity theory? I don't understand it at all, is it interesting?

Also, moved to Off-Topic

Go watch the movie contact. Cool movie about lightspeed and aliens.

As far as i know lightspeed is already achieved and small wormholes too.

I also know that they found a new kind of particle when doing these tests.

Easiest read on how current teleportation is used. I am still looking for a video clip from The Science Channel that showed lab teleportation.

A great show that breaks things down to easy-to-understand-science is "SciFi Science", I think that's the name, they have covered a pretty good section of different topics, Teleportation being one of them.

Wow thats really interesting, it seems really complicated and not enough proof to know but hey if you come up with any reasoning to how this works i can put it a topic!

Nice find
