@farmerman,
Look, if you are only going to make sideways remarks and hint that there is some connection to Time Dilation and the non constancy of Light, then I'm not prepared to guess what on Earth you are talking about.
A valiant effort? That's crap. No real effort is what you dish up.
Relativistically, (ACTUAL GENUINE relativistically, Time, Distance and Velocity remain the same exactly like we observer in the real world.
Velocities are additive, Time remains stable, and of course a meter is still a meter regardless of speed. This is the only trruth.
But if you prefer to "see" things in the same vein as others view Santa, the tooth fairy and Peter Pan, then go for it. I'm only interested in Physics.
