Subject: RE: BS: Can somebody explain in plain English
Recently we have been told that scientific study of ultra small particles suggest that items may be able to travel faster than the speed of light (186000 miles per sec.) It could mean a re-visit to Einstein`s work.
If one propels, say, a laser torch with the lens at the front, at a speed 1000 miles per sec. away from a fixed datum and then switches on the said torch, will not the light being emitted from that torch be doing 187000 miles per sec.?
