Light speed is constan "c". I am puzzled

TreBert It's truly amazing that one person can so consistently wrong. NONE of the light you see is traveling at C. Our atmosphere slows it. I'm suprised that the famous author of 'Stepping Stones' doesn't know this. -- Too Stupid to Understand Science? Try Religion

Doesnt it? I must get a sprinter 'drugged up' and test it out :-). It seems to apply with the intellect, if you take the aspiring politicians who run for office as an example!!! BOfL

I really do admire the intellect of scientists, and their dedication, but when it comes to the fundemental premise, it is just as logical to admire someone who gets a phd in 'divinity'. BOfL |
