Can you hang clocks face down under the ceiling

so your looking up at the clock face

Its not going to effect the springs or anything?

I’m going to hang several clocks in each room under the ceiling facing down.

Digital clocks will be fine, grandfather pendulum clocks not so much.

Will quartz clocks be ok?

Meddling fool. Are you trying to tear asunder the very fabric of time itself?

I wonder how gravity could be slowed down?

Light has been slowed down.

Wonders how long it will take for gravity?

Move further away…

Move further away…

one could do that

but it would be better to slow down gravity just as it passes by

alright

It could be used to communicate with distant craft

It could be used to send messages to Aliens

stuff like that.

so they don’t actually slow it.

• It could be used to communicate with distant craft

In that case, I think gravity propagates at the speed of light. I’m not sure how slowing it down would make communication better…

why not use light? that is going at c, the same speed as gravity is propagated. so why use a slower method?

one could use both I guess

like sending smoke signals except using EM and gravity waves

gravity waves take really big things to produce, colliding BHs and the like.

Why not bring the wave into some kind of collector and use em waves to slow down the gravity waves somehow like a particle accelerator but in reverse

it would be interesting to see how Jupiter’s radiation might effect the gravity waves as they pass through it

or how gravity waves pass through a neutron star or collide with a black hole etc

Five years to slow down gravity waves?

More?

• Five years to slow down gravity waves?

Once again, how does slowing something down make communication faster?

FFS, all the science threads you start and you don’t have a clue. why don’t you read the stuff you post and learn?

it doesn’t make communication faster it disrupts it, like create a red shift or something

Im not a physicist. You will have to ask a physicist that.

Ok back to hanging fans off the ceiling.

Will the quartz clock be unaffected in any way?

Cause the hands will be pulling at the mechanism .

I like the idea of looking up at clocks.

There is this thing called mirrors…

I was just wondering if the hanging clock needs to be redesigned in some way to take gravity stress off the hand movements, cause there handing like a fan now.

I will go now.

Tested in x number of positions says that most clocks will un anywhere.

run.

Quartz clock will be unaffected, may even run more accurately because it no longer has to cope with gravity dragging down on the hands which tries to make the clock slower as the hands are moving up and faster as the hands are moving down.

Pendulum clock won’t run normally.

Clocks web-lined to an external atomic clock time standard – no change.

Wind-up clocks – now that gets tricky. These use a spiral spring with balance wheel to control the time. Will still run but accuracy may be affected, and the pressure on the bearings will change – which means that the bearings may wear out faster.

This thread is begging for this little ditty….

My TARDIS clock projects the time onto the ceiling…
