Today's questions:

1) When you accelerate a particle in the laboratory near to the speed of light
you measure an increase in its mass. Does the particle measure an increase
in it's mass or an increase in your mass?

2) When you accelerate a particle in the laboratory are you accelerating the particle
or decelerating the particle and how do you know?

3) Is the inertial mass of an object of matter the same in deep space (far outside our solar system)
as the inertial mass of the same object of matter in our local neighborhood and how do you know?

Today's thoughts.
How's this?
The universe is a bubble of energy.
Energy equals dimension.
Without energy there is no dimension.
Light is a wave that travels through energy.
I have read that light has been slowed down in a crystal,
therefore it's speed isn't a constant.
Matter is an area of low density energy.
Galaxies are storms in the energy atmosphere of our universe.
We are all just waves in the energy.

The laws of nature.
How are they enforced?

An experiment:
A space vehicle is launched into space, gravity of nearby planets
is used to accelerate the ship to a speed higher then rocket propellant
exits the rocket.
A G meter in the ship is turned on and the rockets are fired in the opposite
direction of the ships heading.
If the G meter goes up is the ship accelerating?
If the mass of the ship increases does the mass of the fuel increase?
An unrelated question:
If the universe is expanding, are the atoms in your body expanding?

An experiment:
An electric motor that is also a gyroscope is built and placed in a cage
so if you turn the cage the gyroscope can keep it's original orientation.
The gyro would have to have good bearings and no gears or pulleys.
The gyro runs at a uniform rpm for at least a 6 hour period.
The gyro is placed in a house on a table at the equator of the earth.
After running for 6 hours does the gyro detect the rotation of the earth?
If anyone knows if this has been tried you could put a link here to the results.
