gudi wrote: On Feb 14, 1:01 am, Archimedes Plutonium (snipped) I do not seek any compression or strain or deflection. I seek only a definition that 90% fits surface contact. What you seek in other words is in fact strain, be it for the surface or for the meridional lines. Bending,surface stra... 14 Feb 2010 03:03

A constant speed of light in all reference frames? Surely you can't be serious.
I've been absolutely racking my brain (to the point of getting a headache) for the last few days about this issue, and it's clear that the speed of light (where light is either considered in the form of a ballistic photon, or a wave-cycle) cannot, physically, be constant in all relative frames, and at the same time... 30 Mar 2010 22:58
