I guess I should have said neutral, and I wasn’t considering that they’re often good at mimicry

Same question...

Seriously, is it a tiktok thing?

Where are you getting this stuff from?

Quick edit:

Im just legitimately curious where you heard this stuff from, that's it. If you don't want to say, also cool. Not a big deal.

If you're getting frustrated I'm not explaining anything, it's because you haven't asked a single question.

    Glycolosis and the Kreb's cycle. The main difference between glycolysis and Krebs cycle is: Glycolysis is the first step involved in the process of respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. While Krebs Cycle is the second process of respiration which occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. Both are the process involved in respiration with the aim of fulfilling the energy requirement of the body.

    So Glycolysis is defined as the chain of the reactions, for the conversion of glucose (or glycogen) into pyruvate lactate and thus producing ATP. On the other hand, Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle involves the oxidation of acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O.

    Respiration is the important process of all the living being, where oxygen is utilised and carbon dioxide is released from the body. During this process, energy is released, which is used to perform various functions of the body. Apart from the above two mechanisms, there are various other mechanisms of respiration such as the electron transport system, pentose phosphate pathway, anaerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid, and terminal oxidation.

    The kinetic energy equation does not apply, because classical mechanics (including Ek = 1/2mv^2^) only works for scenarios much slower than c.

    in relativistic scenarios you have to use Einstein's math. That involves multiplication by the Lorentz Factor 1/√(1-v^2^/c^2^). Solving for any velocity larger than c results in taking the square root of a negative number, which means that the kinetic energy of a superluminal object is literally imaginary (in the mathematical sense).

    I'm not a physicist, but I have heard this before.

    I think it's because people see that the lorenz factor has an asymptote, and so commonly math comes back after an asymptote.

    But the denominator is a square root, so there is nothing after the asymptote.

    Maybe also inspiring the TNG warp curve, where warp 5 was so much easier than say 4.99.

    Anyway, as far as I know there is no theory of anything FTL.

    I haven't studied this in a while and do not work in the field, so this might be incorrect or imprecise.

    It is not only impossible to accelerate to the speed of light, it is impossible for anything to have a speed higher than the speed of light.

    While it is counter intuitive, even relative speed cannot be higher than the speed of light. If you are on a train going 300 km/h and another train is going the opposite direction at 300 km/h, then that other train, from your perspective, is going at (almost) 600 km/h.

    But when we get close to c, things change: if in a referential, you are in a spaceship going at 0.9c, and you observe a photon going at c in the opposite direction, from your perspective, that photon is going at c for you, in the spaceship, and it is also going at c for someone stationary in the referential observing from the outside.

    Similarly, If you are in that spaceship, and observe a spaceship going in the opposite direction at 0.9c as well, then you won't observe them as going 1.8c in your referential, but something close to yet below 1c. I forgot the formula.

    Nothing can be faster than light, in any referential.
