:>) If you don't know how the properties of *completely empty space*
are found, then you need to educate yourself.
I'll remind you that the permittivity of empty space means exactly
that. It does not mean the permittivity of space with stuff in it.

To help you figure this out, you can look up how Galileo
*experimentally* deduced what is now known as Newton's first law: that
an object with no net force on it will continue its motion forever.
Now, you might be asking yourself how Galileo, using the crude
experimental tools that he had at the time, could deduce any law about
the behavior of objects that have NO net force on them. That's why I
suggested you do some reading to find out how.

This will give you some insight on how it is we can deduce properties
of *empty space*, not just the properties of space with stuff in it.

Ah, so THAT's the problem. The issue, you see,
is that momentum is not *defined* as m*v.
And in NO case does the momentum ever equal mc.
What the formula for momentum is, depends on
what the kind of object it is. There is no formula for
momentum that works universally for all objects.
The formula m*v is a handy and simple formula
that works for massive objects, and even then only
as a decent approximation as long as v<<c.
If anyone ever told you that m*v is the *definition* of
momentum, then you were sadly misled.
There. That was simple. I hope it's fixed for you now.

Well, there you go, ahahahahahanson, learning physics with Google.
Good luck with that.
Oh, by the way, there are 3.3MM google hits for "proof evolution
wrong". Must be wrong then, huh?

Oh, I don't gauge my worth by whether I can educate Porat or you. I
don't know why you'd want to keep a score on that.

There is p = Mv .. where M is relativistic (or inertial) mass. That's
pretty much how relativistic mass is defined. And for a photon it is
p = Mc (because v=c). But for rest mass, m, we do *not* have p = mv
EXCEPT when v = 0 :) Its just very CLOSE to p = mv for v << c.

Because he's a communist - everyone will have the same score.
