<p>It should be the other way around; the person ages one year for every fifty years on Earth. That is, in your words, they would be looking 1 year older every 50 years. And yes, moving fast is the key to elongating life, although only relative to Earth, since to you time is still passing by at a standard rate. However, to be immortal, you would have to move at the speed of light--light is considered timeless--but that is theoretically impossible. It requires infinite energy to accelerate mass to c, and we obviously don't have infinite energy. The equation is given by E=(mc^2)/sqrt[1-(v^2/c^2)]. As v approaches c, the square root gets closer to being zero, and thus the energy requirements increase accordingly.</p>
<p>ouch, you're on the east right now? lucky me, im in california.</p>
<p>and i just finished compiling a 5 page (EXTREMELY neat) list of all the PR formulas. there's soo much i don't know. rofl.</p>
<p>and here's my story: last year i self-studied for ap physics b, and took the sat 2 a week before the ap exam. i guess i wasn't really prepared for the sat 2, and it scared the crap out of me, because then i studied a lot for the ap and got a 4. but ended up with a 630 on the subject test! gahh! so now since colleges weigh sat 2's over ap's i have to improve that score. and i procrastinate it off till tonight.</p>
<p>and don't worry about magnetism. it flies over my head too. </p>
<p>and btw, my physics class was waay worse. we never dealt with vectors (of course he didn't call them vectors because that would make everyone's head explode) that weren't just x or y.</p>
<p>@ amciw: SWEET thx. </p>
<p>Not that I'd want to live much more than 100 years anyways. Borinnggg.</p>
<p>
I'm doing that too! Except it's only 2 pages since it's all crammed together on blank paper. [url=<a href="http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf%5DHere%5B/url">http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/facts-and-formulas-3-ref.pdf]Here[/url</a>] are all the ones you really have to know, though. </p>
<p>Good luck... based on your AP score I'm sure you'll do really really well. :D And mannn I'd be happy with a 630 hahaha.</p>
<p>Of course. And yeah, it is. I thought you had read Ender's Game, which is the best example of time dilation being used for such a purpose. If you remember (or if not), the instructor guy had been sent into near light speed travel to preserve his brilliance in case of another war against the aliens.</p>
<p>Btw, ty for posting the formula link. I was going to for UF, but you saved me the hassle. :)</p>
<p>Saw your edit, and yeah, I will reciprocate.</p>
<p>lol uncyclopedia is more fun than wikipedia :P</p>
<p>I haven't read that yettt but it keeps coming up in conversation so I'll have to get on that!</p>
<p>Okay I finished going thru the PR book. Now I'm gonna finish my handmade formula sheet (I started halfway through lol), go through Chem a bit, then return and take my practices.</p>
<p>Hope I have timeeee... eek.</p>
<p>Right now I'm gonna heat up some lo mein lol. I've earned it.</p>
<p>Also, I have to find my PR Chem book. I have Barron's but Chem is more like "KNOW THIS" instead of "YOU MIGHT NEED TO KNOW THIS." :| But I cannoooottt find it.</p>
<p>Enjoy falling asleep immediately after the tests, also...</p>
<p>As for uncyclopedia, I read it once, but it wasn't really that funny to me; it seemed "bleh", for lack of better phrase.</p>
<p>Poseur, I feel ya!</p>
<p>I just finished skimming Barron's World History for like 5 hours. Are all Barron's books notoriously harder than the actual thing, or is that just a math/sci characteristic? If so, I'll be happy, b/c I was making solid 650-700s on the practice tests.</p>
<p>Sooooo now I'm gonna start Math II haha. It seems really simple, so I just need to practice...</p>
<p>P.S. Anyone know the typical curve for WH? Like let's say a raw score of 85/95....</p>
<p>lol, you should have read some other article then :P there are some great ones too haha, but yea some are dumb.</p>
<p>mel you should go now lol</p>
<p>Is anybody taking US History? Are REA's tests hard, or do I just suck?</p>
<p>Barron's MC is notorious for difficulty in everything, IIRC.</p>
<p>Spidey, can you link me a funny one?</p>
<p>I'd love to help you, Bamboozler, but I only used the official CB guide and have not heard of REA.</p>
<p>Thank god. Some of their obscure questions about random 16th century Japanese political influences raped me.</p>
<p>Any answers to my other question? What's a typical WH curve?</p>
<p>Lol Gaurav, I HAVE to post on CC! It gives me energy. I can't stare at the pages of a prep book for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to drift off, haha.</p>
<p>Wait, why are you taking WH? Did you have the class as a junior, rather than APUSH?</p>
<p>10 wrong, so -12, seems to be the prevailing view for an 800, hookem.

<p>I've also seen 80/95 mentioned.</p>
<p>I ate too much chili peppers and my stomach hurts. D:</p>
<p>But alas, the prep must go on!</p>
<p>You are rather lucky your mom isn't going to be up in an hour, btw. And lol, you are very dedicated. I would never be able to prep like this the night before a test.</p>
<p>lmao :D</p>
<p>Nah, I had the class as a sophomore, but it seems a lot easier to prep for, IMO, because it's so much less specific. It's more ideologies and such, which I'm better at.</p>
<p>Schweet. If I can miss 13 Qs and still pull an 800, that's quite comforting.</p>
<p>Lol, that is half the reason I took physics. Such a curve was really appealing. But hookem, didn't you take APUSH and get a five? The SAT II USH is a cakewalk (780 w/o studying aside from practice tests - which I just used to ensure I knew everything - for me) if you did. Otherwise, I think part of the reason I didn't consider WH was that our Global Studies teacher, like Poseur's physics teacher, left a bit to be desired. By comparison, our APUSH teacher went to Dartmouth and clearly understands how to make student's learn; he was the best teacher I've had. That probably helped a bit, but still; if you got a five, you knew the same level of material I did. I'm pretty certain my MC was 65-70/80, my DBQ was an 7, one of the FRQs was a 7, and the other was an 8. I didn't ace the APUSH exam, by any means.</p>
