Faster than light
Botsareus:
btw I was never talking about an "ether" theory...
http://www.phys.vt.edu/~takeuchi/relativit.../section09.html
there, now thats what I was talking about in the lest 2 posts here.
B) Btw Py how did you paste a picture? For example: I want to draw somthing in paint right now and post it, how would I do that? Is it even possible? B)

You click on the button labelled "IMG" and paste or type in the URL to the picture that you want to display. This only works for web hosted pictures and not from your own PC.
something like this picture taken by the hubble space telescope.
:D PY :D

What you have there in that link is a hypothetical situation predicted by relativity and passed off as fact.
This has been my problem all along.
Relativity predicts stuff but nobody has ever satisfactorily proven that it happens.
Your observer in the car has no real way to measure when the light beam hits either the front or back or the train so it can't be proven.
The observer on the train can't actually measure it either.
Besides which, a train doesn't move fast enough for there to be a measurable difference any way.
What if light is moving relative to its source rather than at a universal constant? It more or less explains the anomolies of the Michelson Moreley experiment.
:D PY :D
Numsgil:
Any system that replaces relativity has got to explain:
1. Black holes. Predicted by relativity (although Einstein hated the idea) have been seen (not the hole itself, but the xrays of excited particles entering the event horizon).
2. Mercury's orbit. See the link I posted earlier.
3. Doplar shift of light from celestial bodies moving > c relative to us.
And a bunch of others. My opinion: if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and smells like a duck. It's probably a duck.
Bots, try image shack (google it). They host images for free.
Zelos:
why they abonded ether was that it wasent needed in the relativity, but if it had exist it would create friction in space, and there is no friction in space, thats why you just keep moving for ever unitel you hit something
