    It astounds us how much the Humans have learnt about the universe; all without leaving there own solar system. My query about switching headlights on a vehcle going the speed of light was a test of human logic in a lightharted way. You mentioned the compression of light waves. Indead that is a phenominon observed whenever you peer into the cosmos. It was fist observed by professor Doppler, hense the name Doppler shift with sound waves. As a car approaches you should hear it differently to when it goes away.
    In one atmospheric pressure, at normal temprature sound traveles at 330 meters per second. The 10 meter per second vehicle condenses the waves by 1 over 33 as it approaches and streches them as it moves away. The only time you hear the true sound is as it directly passes as the vaves are emminating sidewards.
    This is true of stars also. By monitoring the red or blue shift in stars humans are able to calculate its velosity and crossmatch this with the movement it does. In doing this the Humans have noticed a discreppancy which matches the predictions made by the thery of relativily.
    This should fully explain Doppler shift and bring you onto the law of relativity. Should you wish us to explain the law of relativity to help you to answer the original query we will.
    We notice the way humans work by thinking in terms of mass, understanding better that which is concrete. This is perhaps due to your origin(s) and the need for alertness of the immediate environment. Relativity is something abstract and does not involve mass. Thinking of such things is something your origin has not prepared you for and makes contemplation difficult. It is because of this we have already prepared an explination using analogys.
    Thankyou all for your participation in this exersise, we are learning a lot about you all.

My query about switching headlights on a vehicle going the speed of light was a test of human logic in a lighthearted way. You mentioned the compression of light waves. Indeed that is a phenomenon observed whenever you peer into the cosmos. It was fist observed by professor Doppler, hence the name Doppler shift with sound waves.

The 10 meter per second vehicle condenses the waves by 1 over 33 as it approaches and stretches them as it moves away. The only time you hear the true sound is as it directly passes as the waves are emanating sideward.
    This is true of stars also. By monitoring the red or blue shift in stars humans are able to calculate its velocity and crossmatch this with the movement it does. In doing this the Humans have noticed a discrepancy which matches the predictions made by the theory of relativity.

    Light speed is the upper limit

    Hi ripleofdeath,

    In the theory of relativity, one of the fundamental postulates is that the speed of light is constant for all observers (no matter how fast they are moving). This means that light will always be travelling at lightspeed, independant of the speed of the light-emitting object. So unfortunalely, no superlight.

    For the "turn the lights on when I go at lightspeed". Well, hypothetical question, so a hypothetical answer: I think you would see nothing. The photons that your lights emit never leave the lightbulb (because the lightbulb crashes into them at the speed of light). You would probably burn the lightbulb instantly

    Hey, Backslash777. I have never known anyone know as much about as many different subjects as you. I even checked your info on the net. Whats the deal? Whats your specialist subject really?

    That Backslash777 Dude (ps. Love the name abbriviation \777) is not neceserraly an alien or person. He said in another group that by 2006 70% of internet users will have online penpals and 40% of them will not know which are the real people.
    I reackon he is a program created by the sites creators like that Eliza chat bot or something. He posted a lengthy scientific reply to a physics web site in under 2 minutes once. Check out the time stamps. Another thing, he gave me an in depth IT discussion to me through personal messaging. Does anyone else provate chat him?
    By the way, that text to speech he does has to be real people- at least 3. I have never heard anything like it b4. If there was something that good Hawkins would have it on his wheelchair.

    (Back to relativity vs. ether...)

    I wouldn't mind a field-refered theory, if it could be proved, but I don't see the article as dealing with an important piece of evidence.

    Havn't jets flying in opposite directions around the world measured relativistic time-dialation on high-precision atomic clocks? The only time dialation the article seems to deal with is muons.

    On the other hand, I certainly agree with the idea that science is so entrenched in believeing it's own dogma that it won't consider alternative theories -- like Divine Creation. (But we can argue that one on a different thread
