  2. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    [15] [16] Similarly, increasing the duration of a stimulus available in a reaction time task was found to produce slightly faster reaction times to visual [15] and auditory stimuli, [17] though these effects tend to be small and are largely consequent of the sensitivity to sensory receptors.

  3. Lighthouse paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_paradox

    The theory of relativity says information cannot be transmitted faster than light. This experiment does not actually transmit a signal from object 1 to object 2. The time when the light beam strikes object 2 is controlled by the person at the lighthouse, not anyone on object 1, so no one on object 1 can transmit a message to object 2 by this ...

  4. Speed of light (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light_(cellular...

    If a lightweight spaceship (LWSS) hits the colliding gliders, it will appear to move forwards by 11 cells in only 6 generations, and thus travel faster than light. [4] This illusion happens because the glider annihilation reaction proceeds by the creation and soon-after destruction of another LWSS.

  6. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

  7. Odd Man Out test - Wikipedia

    A Jensen box. The Odd-Man-Out Reaction Time test (OMO RT) is a test of reaction times that uses Arthur Jensen's testing apparatus, the Jensen box.The box is normally used for measuring choice reaction times in which the participant in the experiment is tested on their ability to recognize which of the eight lights of the Jensen box is illuminated, as quickly as possible. [1]

  8. Speed of gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity

    Putting the Sun immobile at the origin, when the Earth is moving in an orbit of radius R with velocity v presuming that the gravitational influence moves with velocity c, moves the Sun's true position ahead of its optical position, by an amount equal to vR/c, which is the travel time of gravity from the sun to the Earth times the relative ...

  9. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    This means that for nonequilibrium flow, something between 10 and 100 variables may be required to describe the state of the gas at any given time. Additionally, rarefied hypersonic flows (usually defined as those with a Knudsen number above 0.1) do not follow the Navier–Stokes equations. [citation needed]
