>Radio waves move just as fast as gamma waves even though they have less energy
How?
>>
>>16141127
Imagine two cars. Both are going down the highway at 60 miles per hour. Only one is playing speed metal and the other is playing classic rock and roll. Nothing wrong with either music, but the speed metal one has a bit more energy.
>>
>>16141127
gamma wiggles faster
>>
>>16141138
Not as fast as you

Put a car up on jacks so the tires don't touch the ground. Turn the engine on, put it in drive and hit the accelerator. Now, the drive tires are spinning very fast (have more energy) while the others are not. Yet all the tires going the same speed.

if you get hit 100 times per second with a type of ball at speed X, you will be pushed farther then getting hit 10 times per second with the same type of ball at the same speed
the velocity of each collision is the same, the mass of the ball is the same, but the frequency of collisions is 10X more

Imagine a two piss jars.
One is filled with orange juice piss and the other is filled with mountain dew piss.
Both seem the same, and have the same properties. But one has innately more energy.
Its the same with psueds who read textbooks to learn, compared to me, who learns solely through analogymaxxing. I just have more energy.

Imagine a car's exhaust pipe and a bucket full of nails. The car is turned on and both are inserted into the OP's ass. Each have the same velocity but the nails deal more damage when there is also the extra exhaust gas ripping his colon apart. Hope this explains it!

Do loud sounds travel faster than quiet ones?

Very colorful analogies.

nope. they just hit harder and travel further.

Its like sound goes same speed even you are soprano and I am basso

Yes. The speed of a travelling wave is a property of the medium, rather than the wave itself
>>
>>16141127
frequency is proportional to its kinetic energy

Gamma waves actually often contain more energy that can be stored in a photon at the speed of light. Because of this, high-energy gamma emitters will have their gamma rays convert that excess energy into other wavelengths, including blue light (Cherenkov radiation). Atmospheric nuclear explosions can be easily detected for this reason, and all GPS satellites have a detector for just that purpose.

longitudinal electrical waves travel faster
>>
>>16141889
Why would a photon have such limit. Indeed, the aether exists. Only mediums will have such limits, there they are common.
>>
>>16141889
This doesn't make sense. It would imply the gamma rays lose coherence
>>
>>16141127
It's light. It's all light and light moves at a speed period.
>>
>>16141906
You gotta ignore these retards when they talk about Cherenkov radiation. They swallow fat science dick when the emission spectrum models breakdown and they start saying a bunch of retarded shit from there.
The resolution is basic energy dynamics where energy levels divided across available energy modes such that the configuration is the lowest local configurations. Atomic physics breaks down at the gamma energy levels referenced.
Electrons don't exist btw.

>Electrons don't exist btw.
So those cloud chamber pictures of what should be electrons and positrons are what exactly?
>>
>>16141127
Electromagnetic drag, it's also why gravity is limited to the speed of light despite being orders of magnitude lower in energy and why high mass/energy things will.never come close to the speed of light

>How?
Well, you see, they both travel at the same speed and reach their destination at the same time, but one travels the distance in continuous increments and the other jumps there instantly

Energy equals mass
Think them as two cars that have correlation between power and weight
>Other has 100 hp engine and weights 1000kg
>Other has 50 hp engine and weights 500kg
That's why they both move as fast as other. And if those cars collide with you, the heavier car makes bigger damage.

According to relativistic mass-energy equivalence[eqn]E = \frac{|\mathbf{p}|}{c},[/eqn]where [math]\mathbf{p} = \hbar\, \mathbf{k}[/math] according to the de-Broglie relation. The variable [math]\mathbf{k} = 2\pi/\lambda[/math] is the wave vector of wave length [math]\lambda[/math]. The wave length is equivalent to the frequency of wave. So the energy is "stored" in the frequency of the radiation.

I think, you're confused because in the macroscopic world the energy and momentum of a "particle" are tied to the velocity velocity and mass, think of [eqn]E = \frac{m}{2}\, v^2 = \frac{p^2}{2m}.[/eqn]But with microscopic massless particles moving at high velocities these intuitions do not apply necessarily.

>particle spook tries to teach the particle physicist his research doesn't exist
yeah I dunno about that you nigger
