Speed of light revisited once more still again

You have got to be kidding me Dale.

You have trouble grasping basic high school physics, and yet you are going to attack the problem of relativity?

There is a lot more to science then making things up at random.

If youre driving your car at the speed of light and turn on your headlights, what happens?

So what is your " another theory that accounts for the effect by asserting we're merely underestimating its velocity?"

No, Max, not at all. When you move a ruler in the direction of its long axis it gets shorter

Gee thanks Max

I have a sort of vague idea how it works

Oh Max but it's not at random. It's carefully calculated to incite other participants

The light leaves them at the speed of light c, as measured by some unfortunate fella who's hanging over the front end tied to the engine cover with his instrument

However, you have to understand, Z, that I don't deny Einstein. I'm only providing a new way to look at time at a distance. I call it relative relativity

Oh, incidentally, Con, if you're online, please don't access that link because it contains references to the Intuition

No. You don't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

when the speed of light was first measured, it was done by using the light from two stars that were occulted by Jupiter. THEN, using the highly complex equation of D=R Xt (Distance equals rate times time). and then , by observing the star light occultation from a known occultation clock (set up by several years of observation) and solving fro the rate,the speed of light was first established and ,based upon the orbital accuracy, the time was determined at a fairly accurate rate.
Thi is developed quite nicely in a book entitled E=Mc^^, An analysis of the world's most famous equation

There are so many thgings that depend upon c and that includes extremely accurate (sub centimeter) GPS mapping. Its mostly a function of having c be a constant. Other things include synchronized world-wide news (ever notice how theres a slight delay between responses in satellite interviews? WELL that has nothing to do with c--but setting up a very accurate clock of the transmission is dependent upon a constant c)

Farm thank you most kindly for that report. It seems to agree with what little I know about relativity

…...Except for the satellite interviews. Very interesting

Laugh thank you for that link, intriguing

Max I like your mother too

Sorry Max, couldn't resist, you fellas just leave yourselves wideopen

But specifically in what way do you disagree praytell
