<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]Here[/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. 
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 
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>
