Re: [meteorite-list] age of meteorites
Hi all,It's true meteors travel at an insignificant percentage of the speed of light. Speeds up to 260,000 kilometers an hour are reached by meteors entering the earth's atmosphere versus light's maximum of 1079252848.8 kilometers an hour in a perfect vacuum.Outer space is very, very cold and is an imperfect vacuum. If it has any mass, the speed of light can be much slower. In an extreme situation, perhaps a velocity where the comparative speed of the meteor would be in the 5% range. Which would have a measurable affect on its age as a meteorite.I mention this, because published papers establish that the colder the mass through which light is being perceived, the slower its speed. For instance, the speed of light through very cold, laser-bathed, sodium atoms, can be only 50 meters a second!Count Deiro-Original Message->From: John Lutzon via Meteorite-list>Sent: Jul 18, 2016 4:00 PM>To: Michael Mulgrew , pshu...@messengersfromthecosmos.com>Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com>Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] age of meteorites>>>Pete, Michael & Rob,>>Au contraire smart guys>Every morning, PAUL sends us a meteorite At the speed of light--->>(:>)>>>- Original Message - >From: "Michael Mulgrew via Meteorite-list" >To: "Pete Shugar" >Cc: "The List" >Sent: Monday, July 18, 2016 6:31 PM>Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] age of meteorites>>>No meteoroid body travels anywhere near "a subtantual [sic] percentage>of the speed of light".

Re: [meteorite-list] age of meteorites
It's not a bad idea, Pete, but unfortunately the time dilation is really minimal unless you get up to a substantial fraction of the speed of light. For instance, even at solar system escape velocity at earth's distance from the sun (42 km/sec), a meteoroid's clock would be running at about 10 parts per billion slower than that of a stationary rock. (Additional note: due to general relativity, a clock on a meteoroid would be running about 0.6 parts per billion *faster* than a clock at the earth's surface, but that is more than made up for by the time dilation due to special relativity.) Extra-credit question for the mathematically inclined: at what velocity relative to the earth would a meteoroid have to travel to have its clock stay in sync with a clock at the earth's surface? :-) --Rob -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Pete Shugar via Meteorite-list Sent: Monday, July 18, 2016 3:12 PM To: The List Subject: [meteorite-list] age of meteorites greetings to all, my background is in electronics. everything deals with either C or C2.

No meteoroid body travels anywhere near "a subtantual [sic] percentage of the speed of light". Although their relative ages will be different based on Einstein's theory, their practical age is realistically unaffected I would think. Michael in so. Cal.
