This was not meant to be a 'good example', it was meant just to illustrate what i meant with my original comment.
I have no difficulty accepting that c (as in speed of light in vacuum) is the constant we believe it to be. But i have difficulty seeing how c is the upper limit of the speed that...
Lets say you are trying to calculate the wattage of a lightbulb. On it it says 60W. Now are you really going to use that figure of 60W as a constant for your calculations to find the real and accurate wattage of the lightbulb?
It seems to me that using c as a constant would not make sense, if one would try to prove that c could be greater (in some hypothetical scenario) than what we currently believe it to be.
But light from the source inside the room would reach B before the source itself would reach B (even from...
Yes i can understand how the observer in the room would 'see' the light traveling at c.
However i think that the light itself would reach point B faster than c in the given scenario. If not, than why?
If the distance between A and B was 0.9ly, than under normal circumstances light would travel...
Slight theoretical question that i have difficulty wrapping my head around.
Lets imagine a confined room traveling trough space at .9c on a line defined by points A and B. Let's say that in this room is a light source. If this light source is turned on than does the light inside the room...
