<p>LOL bignerd is a fool. a light year does not equal a year. you cant compare distance with time</p>
<p>Thanks martinibluex for the explanation...</p>
<p>Yeah, 1 light year is a measurement for distance.
I was comparing that the amount of waiting time for the decisions is like how much time you would finish traveling 1 light year path!!!!!! It is obviously an exaggeration, ok! </p>
<p>Bignerd43, i'm sorry to say that you make a really stupid comment and you don't even know what a light year is but you try to correct someone else when you are wrong first of all. Anyways, you sure will learn it by now.</p>
<p>My essays and recs were great - but can they overcome a mediocre HS performance and a not-so-amazing college performance(3.42) ?</p>
<p>waiting
is
so
hard!</p>
<p>and the fact that its still not really barely spring here isnt helping, its still difficult to spend a lot of time outside cause its cold. This week will be better and make the time pass faster. </p>
<p>every hour is as torturous as writing a 10 page paper about a 3 line poem.</p>
<p>hahahahahahaha
"every hour is as torturous as writing a 10 page paper about a 3 line poem"
while i can't say the waiting game is that bad for me (probably because i don't have high hopes) but thats just a great/funny line.</p>

<p>Well... you are waiting on like 5+ schools... so one could come soon and YOUR chances of acceptance is slightly higher than Mine, since i only applied to DMOUTH. I sincerely hope you get in to one of the schools you applied to. and yes WAITING IS hard.... But try to do something to get your mind off of this! i.e. read a book, watch tv, play computer games, anything that works.... even.... study!!!
gl :D</p>
<p>I know everyone knows this, but when you focus on time and actually do nothing but wait, time moves reallllllllllllllllllllllllly slowly. Now spend time with a girl, and time moves verrrry quickly, but be careful that your money does go at the same speed.</p>
<p>Yes, Still Nothing For Me.</p>
<p>Holy crap! ROTFLMFAO!!!</p>
<p>"1 light year = 1 year. 1 ton of feathers = 1 ton of metal" </p>
<p>And he laughed at him and called him a "fool" too... Guess we know who's getting in and who's not.</p>
<p>That was funniest thing I read all week!!!</p>
<p>bigidiot..../.</p>
<p>"1 light year = distance over time"</p>
<p>hahahahahahahahaha</p>

<p>additionally, you rejects, 1 light year can be used as a unit of time. </p>
<p>i.e to travel to planet X, it takes x light years. (i.e, it takes one year and u have to travel the distance that light travels in a year)</p>
<p>uh..whats funny.</p>
<p>1 light year = the distance that light traves / time, 5,865,696,000,000 miles(i think) per year.</p>
<p>Bignerd, 1 light year is NOT distance over time. distance over time is speed. 1 light year is the distance light travels in one year. and NO that is not SPEED!</p>
<p>i only applied to Dartmouth as well, newby, i did not apply elsewhere. </p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions but they are half the reason Im stuck in this timespace continuum ;)...read a book - reading two for one paper and about 600 pages of material to sort thru for another, ...watch tv - I did haha and thats why i dont have any time to do this work, computer games I don't do, study... yea, do that too.
ive also filled my time with band, orchestra, our april concert, church services, a project and lab work. At this point id RATHER be writing that hypothetical 10 page paper... I did write an 8 page paper about 4 verses from Genesis two weeks ago... that sort of counts. (a religious studies / american studies class at Macalester, Im aware of the irony)</p>
<p>ps. if your prof says 'exegesis' run screaming from the room.</p>
<p>im sorry kevin tech...u seem to be wrong, and lets approach this logically.</p>
<p>u said that 1 light year = the distance that light travels per year.</p>
<p>YEAR = measure of time
Distance = Distance</p>
<p>Distance per time = speed, and essentially , thats what light year is.</p>
<p>hahahahaha</p>
<p>bignerd... you're wrong
kevintech is actually right.
a light year is the distance light travels in one year, which is approximately 9.461 x 10^15 metres
This is calculated from the fact that within one year, there are approximately 365 days with 86400 seconds each.
And the speed of light in a vacum is 299792458 m/s.
Therefore, if you multiply (365x86400x299792458) you can youe light year and the left over unit is actually meteres. (didn't you learn how to cancel out units in physics?)</p>
<p>Although it is said that light year is distance that light travels in one year and the arguement you hold is that distance is distance and year is time, so the resulting unit is speed, light year is actually a constant. It is number that is used as a constant (distance that light travels in one year)</p>
<p>So. big nerd, before you call anyone stupid next time.. please get your facts straight</p>
<p>To Bignerd43, I don't mean to offend you but please do yourself a favor: </p>
<p>*Don't show off your ignorance and also using bad words would not make your points correct! *</p>
<p>Now, you are probably mad or something... well feel free to input anything you want but remember what I just said above, ok! Have a nice day! End of discussion. :)</p>
<p>stop picking on kevin.</p>
