• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yeah i know i asked and argued around this before, But i never clearly understood the doppler effect on light. If the source of light is moving towards you and it creates a doppler shift to the blue and if it moves away from you a doppler shift to the red. But that is the frequency... Not the speed of light!

I was more thinking of an answer such as collapse of the universe and so on!
Yes, the universe will collapse.

The same exact thing happens with sound. When a moving train sounds it's whistle, the sound blasting in front of it is travelling the same speed as the sound behind it. Only the frequency is different. If the sound was going faster in front, then we wouldn't hear the change in pitch as the train passed.

The change in frequency is actually due to the difference in the speed of sound and the velocity of the object emitting it (train), but the same number of sound waves is emitted in all directions -- so it's compressed at the front and expanded behind it.
