Uncle Alice look in the mirror without breaking it.

1) Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of
skill.
2) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in
others.
3) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their
inadequacy.
4) Incompetent individuals consistently copy and paste, plagiarize and
provide URL's
to others work because they recognize their own incompetence and
stoopidness.
5) Uncle Al is Stoopid.

Nope, it doesn't.

As I see it it is pretty simple. Light will only move through space a
little bit above matter's 99% motion behind it.

Well, you see, Mitch, it doesn't have anything to do with what you
find sensible or how you see it. Physicists don't check the validity
of what they come up with by *thinking* or judging whether it makes
sense. They check it against experiment.
Fortunately, nature is interesting and we see plenty of stuff that
doesn't make sense at all -- at first. Part of the fun is finding out
enough about what's going on -- through further experiment -- to be
able to piece it together and have it make sense. But when it's pieced
together, it looks a whole lot different than what made sense before.
What made sense before gets *replaced* by a new understanding that is
driven by surprising experimental results that are actually seen in
nature.

So what's surprising here is the *experimental* observation that if
you have something traveling at 99% of c, light *still* takes off at c

I agree it takes of at 100% of the speed of light through space while
behind light you are going at 99% through space.

Nope, you're not getting it.
Someone holds a flashlight and shines light toward Cincinnati. It will
be going at c away from you.
Now you accelerate, chasing after the light, until you are going 99%
of the speed of light with respect the guy with the flashlight.
Now if you measure the speed of the light going toward Cincinnati,
you'll find that it is still going at c with respect to you, not 1% c.

I know this seems weird and counterintuitive, but that is what is seen
*experimentally*. Trying to make sense of that takes more work that
you've put into it so far.

This leaves a 1%
difference through space. Addition of velocities keeps things below
light speed.

from that something, whether you are watching the something go by or
whether you are riding all on the something.

Now there is the trick of figuring out how to make that make sense,
because it sure doesn't make sense at first blush.

If you can follow light at 99% then light only goes 1% more into the
distance.
See that?

Of course it's logical. It's also wrong. It doesn't match experiment.

What experiment?

Time of flight of photons from decaying pi-zeros with nonzero
momentum. That's one. There are at least a half dozen others. Do you
know how to look this experiment up in the library?

From my point of view this is just word salad. There is no proof here.
There is no way for you to prove the principle.

I asked you whether you knew how to look this up in the library. If

This is the bait of the troll. The troll considers this discussion
group to be a verbal wrestling match, where the objective is to get
someone else to say, "Oh, gee, you were right and I was wrong, and you
made me both see that and admit it." To the troll, victory (such as it
is) is had by simply refusing to be convinced.
