so that means my Z71 tops out at 110,000 kph. of course the earth axis is the frame of reference

 

i must be pretty bored if i am reading a physics book on a saturday night. i read almost a whole chapter on eisteins posulates. i guess the **** i was talking about is called time dialation. i guess if you set 2 clocks at the exact same time and put one in a rocket and one on earth. and the rocket left at the speed of light. upon its return, the clock in the rocket would show less minutes than the earth clock. i think that's right. oh well. i need a life. just a little too tired to get out. must have been all those bass i caught today.

 

Yeah..I know where Victor is....I used to live in Farmington for a while......I will get back that way this summer...Maybe we can run at the 'Strip in Leicester

 

i never been to leicester, but i plan on going this year

 

Silent1 that is your theory or you know this to be law? Because if it is law i'd like to see who was accelerated at the speed of light and then told you this, I'd even like to see the video capturing equipment used to make the experiment possible because there is no equipment that I know of that can be handle that type of acceleration or be small enough that we could actually acceterate it in an acceleration chamber. I am asking only to decrease my ignorance or to insure that others do not think theory is law.

 

Which part are you talking about? The time travel thing is theory, not mine though, that's just the way I undersdtood it. Not trying to be a jackass but, where is it documented that you add the speed of light of your headlights to the velocity of the vehicle?

 

LOL! NO I am not talking about the time travel, that is well documented as a therory, Yes I understand all to well the relativity of time and space as it relates to mass, and I am not trying to **** you off though somehow I did. I am sorry that I made mad but... I am talking about how you would know how it would look around you at the speed of light. Read my post better, even though I was in a hurry when typing it, it states that "you would think that the velocities would apply a mutiplicity effect which in FACT does not happen." (The same multiplying effect that applies to a bullet when shot from an airplane flying faster than the bullet would normally travel. The bullet goes as fast as the plane times a correction factor plus the speed of the bullet under normal conditions and of course you could get technical and add in the friction coefficient of the medium the bullet travels through, but why do that. THe bullet doesn't just fall from the barrel of the gun, and it doesn't just travel beside the plane, and the plane being shot at doesn't just out run it.) What I was trying to say in my earlier post was that you would think that this applied but because light travels at only one speed (just like all electromagnetic radiation). The speed of the electromagnetic radiation never changes only the wavelength and the frequency changes to apply different intensities and penetrating strength.

 

Like I said, I'm not trying to be a jackass and didn't get angry at what was said in your post. Light is energy, that as far as I am aware of, cannot be "thrown" or "launched". I completely understand what you are trying to say but again, as far as I know, that train of thought cannot be applied to light.

 

I got my information from Einstein's book, where did you get yours?

Don't recall the name of the book but, I'll see if I can find the info I'm talking about.
