Parden my ignorance, but have you ever experienced an observation of a sort?

Certainly not.

Big thanks to you all, folks. Well I never knew telescopes were used. I was then only thinking that a very powerful telescope may vary the result of measuring the speed of light. But as regards distant objects say buses, mine own eyes have always confirmed this observation to me. It is like...

Only but few may disagree that the inverse squared law affects speed. For example, not only lengths of far away vehicles shorten, (with increase in distances from obsevation) the moving vehicles generally seem to have "slowed" down; the direction either from right to left or vise versa. Please...

Well, I believe some day to come, the constancy of c would be demystified with reasonable evidence.

Thank you Dalespam; answers well noted.

Also in in deriving the Lorentz transformation there is a semblance of the Pythagoras theorem which can connotes some considerable level of rigidity? I am still doing some reading on SR. But I must confess I've got a lot more reading to do.

I'm impressed by the references given thanks a lot. Well pardon my ignorance, but approached in a different perspective, assuming the bus were already in motion with a relatively low uniform acceleration, as such as would be quickly 'hushed' by a collision with a stationary object, will the...

I have read the FAQ. but not so convincing.

It should be possible to use a rigid bar or even a cable or why not?

Hello fellows, it just feels good to be physics forum, But I'm still having a nightmare believing that the speed of light should be the upper limit for all moving reference frames. Now, if we had a long bus whose length is past 3.0 ^8 m, say 3.0 ^12 m, (Oh just assuming) If the driver of this...
