    I was getting bored of my old one.

    Now, students, we shall learn about the Doppler Effect:

    If a source of the light is moving away from an observer, then redshift (z > 0) occurs; if the source moves towards the observer, then blueshift (z < 0) occurs. This is true for all electromagnetic waves and is explained by the Doppler effect. Consequently, this type of redshift is called the Doppler redshift. If the source moves away from the observer with velocity v, which is much less than the speed of light (v \ll c), the redshift is given by

    (since )

    where c is the speed of light. In the classical Doppler effect, the frequency of the source is not modified, but the recessional motion causes the illusion of a lower frequency.

    A more complete treatment of the Doppler redshift requires considering relativistic effects associated with motion of sources close to the speed of light. A complete derivation of the effect can be found in the article on the relativistic Doppler effect. In brief, objects moving close to the speed of light will experience deviations from the above formula due to the time dilation of special relativity which can be corrected for by introducing the Lorentz factor γ into the classical Doppler formula as follows:



    This phenomenon was first observed in a 1938 experiment performed by Herbert E. Ives and G.R. Stilwell, called the Ives-Stilwell experiment.[22]

    Since the Lorentz factor is dependent only on the magnitude of the velocity, this causes the redshift associated with the relativistic correction to be independent of the orientation of the source movement. In contrast, the classical part of the formula is dependent on the projection of the movement of the source into the line-of-sight which yields different results for different orientations. If θ is the angle between the direction of relative motion and the direction of emission in the observer's frame[23] (zero angle is directly away from the observer), the full form for the relativistic Doppler effect becomes:



    and for motion solely in the line of sight (θ = 0°), this equation reduces to:



    For the special case that the light is approaching at right angles (θ = 90°) to the direction of relative motion in the observer's frame,[24] the relativistic redshift is known as the transverse redshift, and a redshift:



    is measured, even though the object is not moving away from the observer. Even when the source is moving towards the observer, if there is a transverse component to the motion then there is some speed at which the dilation just cancels the expected blueshift and at higher speed the approaching source will be redshifted.

    What if SPUF isn't really down and we've all just been banned and this is how they handle it now!?

    Generic "fuck-this-gay-earth" response followed by the usual rant over how shitty the gaming industry is and how companies like Activi$ion (lol see the funny thing there i did with the dollar-sign? xD) and EA are the reason everything sucks and fuck shit cunt badgers jesus christ i hate this world my god what is my life coming to holy bageezers i am so upset at this happening when in reality i just shrug and continue on with my life because-whoop-de-doo plenty of good games are still produced that i will buy and enjoy. Yes.

    TheKigYarGamer got a reaction from Napkin Dust in Who is your favourite hero?   
    To be honest, they all look pretty cool. Kudos to whoever it was that designed them.

    The one that really stood out to me, though, was this guy:



    I get the feeling he isn't that good in actual gameplay, though. I just like winged demonic-looking things.

    See, instead of reducing the male population to 1-10%, we should reduce the stupid population to 0%. No one will miss them.

    That's the thing I don't get about PETA/vegetarians in general. Humans were originally carnivorous, for the most part. Sure, we may have eaten the odd fruit or vegetable, but it wasn't until the advent of farming that we really became omnivorous in the first place...

    I can only assume that me and Witty were not present in the SubFSPF Quarantine Zone at the time since we were apparently on the run from the mods.

    Yuck. It looks like a cross between a hair dryer and 343 Guilty Spark. That was stuck on top of an upside-down lamppost. At an awkward angle.Here's what i'd like to know: why are Apple's earphones always white? Don't they know that it makes all the ear wax even more visible?

    I think it'd be much better if there were larger differences between these individual 'aliens'.

    TheKigYarGamer got a reaction from Gold Standard in Favourite class, and why?   
    Why is everyone choosing Spy? The Spy is an arrogant prick, a completely unlovable character. His only use is to be the victim of mutilations in Gmod videos and the occasional Meet The Team video.Plus, I suck at playing Spy. But then again I suck at pretty much every class except perhaps Engineer.
