If I understand this statement correctly, we do not have an appropriate system to set the speed of light to zero. Is this an insurmountable problem? If so, it is too bad, because I feel it would serve as a better method for measuring reality. Moment to moment, time is zero, its passage is...
Without getting too philosophical, science and philosophy are based on the same method of thinking which is an "if, then" system, there is no difference. Science boasts of having "facts" but these are simply agreed upon conjectures and labels which help us deal with reality as we sense it, just...
The reason I bring up the speed of zero is because it is a "resting speed" simply by definition. If the speed of light was considered the "resting speed", then there would be reason to imagine a speed less than zero. Both of these are limits and can be looked at from either side. I guess my...
Yes, I do agree that the laws of the universe may restrict us to a narrow gap in possible speeds. However, I do not think it is beyond the capability of human science to better understand an underlying cause for this gap. It is quite possible that some intuitive investigation will reveal more...
There is some discussion about traveling faster than the speed of light, which is theorized to be constant. We are in between two limits: zero and the speed of light. I do not hear much discussion on traveling slower than zero. I believe this as much a topic to be explored as it is one of the...
One problem that I have with physics is the notion that we can not go faster than the speed of light. I believe the solution is to consider the speed of light to be zero, and we are traveling at the speed of light and can never slow down completely. This may be considered to be just the same...
