I may have misinterpreted what you said, and I'm no physicist.  But increasing the speed of light won't change normal light of the visible spectrum to gamma rays.  True gamma radiation has a higher frequency than visible light but that only means it has a shorter wavelength.  All forms of electromagnetic radiation, or whatever they're called i.e. radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, sunlight, they all already travel at the speed of light.

I'm not sure but I think the formula goes like this:
speed of light = wavelength * frequency?

With speed of light as a constant.
I dunno any physicist out there?

EDIT: Wait now I just confused myself.

Yes but the *relative* frequency will still be increased, ie: the rate at which EM waves 'impact' a point in space, thus making any fixed point experience normal light as hard radiation.
Everything is relative.

EDIT: if you were to increase the speed of light you would also have to uniformly increase the various wavelengths of the electro-magnetic spectrum if you wanted to avoid being turned into a human fritter.

No, the speed of light would still be the speed of light. Then you'd have post-light speed, or FTL. I've never fully understood why lightspeed should be a maximum, granted my physics is rusty... I just can't help remembering that at one time it was thought that humans wouldn't be able to travel more than 100 miles an hour.

Yeah, but if Farnsworth was telling the truth in Clone of my own then light's universal speed was increased across the board. I argue that this is impossible without deep frying all organic life forms in their own juices.

Then if the speed of light changed across the board and the fact they didn't get fried, one can only conclude the the sunlight does indeed travel at a speed slower than the speed of light. If that makes any sense...

DAMN YOU ALL, this is a shippy thread, for shippers to talk about shippy things, hence the tittle! Stop confusing me with your science and discuss the good things in life, mainly Fry and Leela

Thank you, though I'm not sure about that equation, souldn't it be
OaECT+DHaT=L4aL

Hey, we can do both...which I shall attempt.
Fry and Leela are likes electrons and protons.  Fry being the electron and Leela being the proton.  Fry's world orbits around Leela much like an electron orbits a proton, let's just go with the simple Bohr model of an atom for now...
Everytime Fry screws up Leela gets angry, which is like exciting an atom.  Exciting an atom moves the electron to a higher energy state and hence a larger orbit making the electron further away from the proton.  So when Leela gets 'excited' it pushes Fry away.  Let's not forget if the electron gains enough energy it will fly away from the atom leaving one lonely ionized Leela.  To make matters worse, once the electron orbit is vacant other electrons can come to take its spot, ie an Adlai electron.
EDIT: Oh yea and opposite charges attract...

In a further note, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows that electron locations cannot be predicted which correlates with Fry's unpredictable romantic behavior.

In conclusion...I'm talking out of my ass...

Ignore this post - the board fucked up.

Wow. I just got shot right back to high school science.
I remember atoms! They're those..things...we're...made of...right?
Electrons, protons, neutrons...Haha, student science teacher saying he was representing a magnet when all he was doing was looking like a ballerina. Those were the days.

I read..in Readers Digest I think actually, that people with similar genetic traits are more likely to be attracted to each other. It said other things but I've forgotten them. Oh, about how looking at someone helps in them liking you somehow. So Fry should just stare longingly at Leela for hours on end...

Oh yea, and when Fry does something romantic he gets closer to Leela by dropping an energy level.  Everytime an electron drops an eneregy level it emits a photon, which is like shedding light onto their relationship.

Fry and Leela's relationship are like the stars,
at times you can't see them and when you can sometimes you ignore it, but if you actually stop and look you see something beautiful.

Ahhhhh, cute pic. I think that if you gave the adult Fry and Leela the teenage hormone levels, it'd speed things up a bit.

Making babies in the closet, eh?

Like a steam room. And leave them lots of Alcohol, and don't give them anything else to drink before they go in the room. It'd work. In fact I could imagen Bender and Amy doing that to them because they got fed up of waiting.

I only wear lipstick if I'm trying to impress someone, maybe Leela was trying to impress Fry.

Peh! Humans and their alcohol-dependency... Just give me some good old-fashioned cocaine.

I think Leela always wears lots of lipstick as an insecure subconscious way of drawing attention away from her eye.

Drugs are just bad, mmmkay?

Yeah, I agree with the drawing attention away from the eye thing. But still, she looks too old for her age with lipstick like that.

Hey! Ribbins are cool man! Don't knock the ribbin!

I love pink!

Actually try a small cold room.

Because then they'd have to warm up...
