@all
thanks, and feel free to keep giving examples and your thoughts, the more the merrier. I have Einstein's actual theory translated, and am trying to work through it, but even though he dummies it down, I find it hard to understand the way he explains things. That abc of relitivity looks good. The thing that is troubling me right now is this. The speed of light in a vaccum is 300,00 km/s. And it has been proven that the light sorce doesn't change this.
Now it says in this book, that if you put a train and a beam of light next to each other, and
measure their speeds relitive to each other then this will mean that the speed of light is slower then 300,00 km/s. speed of light - trains velocity=>300,00 km/s, and this is a problem for some reason?. Why? And how? The light is still moving at 300,000 km/s reletive to a stationary body reference right? Does the law of propagation of light mean that that a light beam should always be going 300,00 km/s faster then everything or what? Hope I'm making sence.
