Instantly from the perspective of someone riding the light beam. If I could start off at the speed of light and start my clock then when I arrived at a star 100 light years away my clock would show zero time has passed. But from the perspective of earth and the planet 100 light years away then...

I am under the impression that from the perspective of earth and the distant planet it will take 100 years but for our intrepid traveller he will arrive at the distant planet instantly, assuming he has jumped on a light beam and there is 0 time getting to the speed of light.

But if I can jump on a light beam I can go to a planet a 100 years light years from us, spend 24 hours looking around and grab something to eat and then jump on the light beam and be back on earth only 24 hours older whereas you are dead and long gone when I arrive back on earth.... My...

So the key point is I was accelerating.....taken to the extreme by jumping on the light beam......but whether jumping on the light beam or accelerating more gradually on the spaceship......the time for me has slowed down or in the case of jumping on the light beam the time stopped. Now let's...

But isn't the time slow down for the person the plane "real' It is my understanding if I can hop on a light beam and head to the Alpha Centauri system then from the perspective of both earth and the people on a hypothetical earth like planet at Alpha Centauri 4 years will have passed. If a...

Galaxiom, What is happening with time for the astronauts when stage 3 of the Saturn is shut down and they then begin to slow from 26,000 mph on their way to the moon. "At the other end of the spectrum and at the pinnacle of human ingenuity, my favourite is the Large Hadron Collider. It...

How can that be since we are de accelerating. Just so we are on the same page here (and please correct me if I am wrong) this whole business of relativity and time distortion relates to a body or person accelerating. We all know if we leave earth in the space ship and accelerate to a high...

As we know if you accelerate your time slows and if you could reach the speed of light then time for you would cease to move. To be hypothetical if you jump on a light beam then you would arrive at any place in the universe and from your perspective zero time would have elapsed. I think I have...

Many thanks, that did the trick. In fact this one...mytext=mid(mystring,instr(mystring,"Dear")) was enough.

Yes, I have been fiddling in that general direction but not yet getting there:) Thanks for posting.

Extracting the part of a letter after "dear whoever" in a memo field. I need to do this so as to remove duplicates and "yes" duplicates can be removed from a memo field. Another alternative would be to remove the date which is between the letterhead and the "dear whoever". The letterhead...

I thought by now we would have had the whole atheist issues solved:D

One other issue I forgot to mention is that with a file locking situation part of the Microsoft message is along the lines of "if everyone is working on Excel Online then all is wonderful etc.... Unfortunately with phones, both iPhone and Mobile you can't make changes when you open the file...

For anyone interested I thought I would add my results at this stage, which now includes an Android phone alone with iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2. Firstly, using and Excel file with If/Vlookup and is a simple "mode of payment" thus there will be M, Q, H or Y in one column and amount in...

The weight does not worry me. I also like the 15.6" screen for demonstrating and in addition that is what the business usually has. I also have two identical Toshibas and I often leave one with the prospect so he can try whatI have made and that way on the phone we are looking at identical...

I asked about the as our biggest telco has them and on a plan whether phone or whatever the cost is far lower than if bought the product, as long as you do the 2 year contract period. Actually they don't really grab me much because like a Laptop you still need to take them in a bag and for...

Loaded latest Excel for iOS and directly from MS email onto iPhone and iPad Air 2. Macros are a "no go" for both Word and Excel.

What about this Toshiba? https://www.telstra.com.au/tablets/tablets-on-a-plan/toshiba-portege-z20t-intel-m5

But can't you take the "screen" with you as a tablet? If so will what you take run Access?
