Hello, I just had a weird thought and would like some clarification. Keep in mind I'm only 15 years old, and I have had NO courses in physics. I'm VERY ignorant and would like an explanation.
If light is constant, then how do we know the true speed of light? If Earth moves at x speed this way ----> and someone uses a flashlight this way <----, won't it seem that light is traveling faster than it really is? The same could be said about our solar system/galaxy/universe if they do in fact travel. This led me to believe that light does NOT have constant velocity to certain variables. I believe the variable is gravity, or something that is affected by gravity which affects light.
Is this info old? I would just like some answers please
