Thank you ICh and ehj. 30mph or 29.999999983 it doesn't matter, not because you are incorrect, but rather I do not dispute that. I understand that, and I was only using it as an example. Even if the ship, was going .99c, then my confusion still exists. Why not treat light as a constant only...

I apologize for the the probably gross error on my behalf, but, not as a scientist in the GR /SR field, I am a bit confused. My question is why is c constant? I am not arguing why is c constant in a specific frame, I do not understand why you couldn't, for a lack of a better term, frame stack...

Exactly I why I came here to ask, I didn't think it made sense. Now I know it does not.

@Jostpuur, What happened was that i got confused. I confused the Lorentz Contraction with how the objects relativistic mass increases. I was under the impression that if an objects appears smaller it would actually be smaller. Then I found out that mass increases as your approach c. I thought...

Alright, in order to not start a new thread I am going to post my question here. (Note)[ I am having trouble understanding the difference between SR mass and GR mass.] My main question is if mass increases the faster an object is traveling, than what increases? For example if a "Ball" of 5 H...
