Except for freedom from the bullshit.
And that really does free your mind.

Maybe. However, the fact remains that the equations I have show light
to be traveling at 186,000 miles per second in two different frames of
reference without the distance contraction that causes anything that
reaches the speed of light to have a length of 0 in the Lorentz
equations. Scientists definitely do not want to discuss those
equations.
