If sound waves happened to be travelling at speeds in excess of (say) 10% of C, then they would be obviously wrong. But, as it is they're so mildly wrong it doesn't make any difference. > Until 1887 scientists believed the same thing to be true with regard > to light.

It's just rare to find things other than light travelling at relativistic speeds. But it doesn't really matter which equation you start with if you're going to assign a zero time difference. Al

I'm against allowing commercial uses of cloning in any form myself, but probably for reasons that you wouldn't grasp. But there's no book that atheists have to follow, we're all individual. Where-as those who say they follow this christ thing seem to have a higher than normal proportion of not only pedophiles, but most criminal types. Al
