"Androcles" wrote in message ...
"Titan Point" wrote in message I'd like to say that RoS is hard because it appears to fracture a key unconscious assumption we have about the universe. I struggle myself. That hit's the nail on the head. The key unconscious assumption is that you believe what you see. To do that, you unconsciously attribute a constancy to the light you see by. If light were not constant, faster light could pass slower light on its way here, and you'd see strange effects. The effects you've been seeing are not strange, because you are familiar with them. But they really are strange, you just haven't realized it yet. http://www.androc1es.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ Androcles No I don't. The struggle is not with the constancy of the speed of light, but letting go of the notion of some sort of absolute reference for time. |
