time dilation and the international space station

surface radius of earth,
R = 6,378.137 km

orbital radius of the international space station,
r = R + (319.6 + 346.9) / 2 = R + 333.25 km = 6,711.387 km

from gravitational time dilation:

r_s = 0.0088356 m

t₀ = 1s * 0.99999999934 = 0.99999999934 s

so someone living in the the ISS will be 0.00000000066 seconds younger for every second on earth...
hmmmm

that is... for every 1 earth year... a person living in ISS will be 20.77 milliseconds younger!... so if he/she lives for 48 years in the ISS he/she will be 1 second younger!

NZ pwned!!!!!

we totally pwned the kiwi's!!!

Colombo at Night

about yesterday's match...

i was reading this article on cricinfo... written by some guy called Andrew Miller... he's a pretty pissed off 'cos we didnt play at full strength...

quote:
To have sprung a major surprise in a game as meaningless as this encounter had become would have been a criminal waste of their energies.

quote:
Sri Lanka will face all sorts of accusations in the coming days of bringing the game into disrepute and of devaluing the World Cup with their tactics.

so mahela has put the game in to disrepute by not playing with the standard team... rested vass and murali...

well i wonder if he'd say the same thing if we rested malinga , vass and murali with the ireland match!
