>>97877493>>97877579Sorry, I got distracted by TV and then by porn.
Anyways, so here's light. Light is bullshit. Light is bullshit anyway you slice it. Is a particle? Is it a wave? Fuck you, it does either whenever it wants.
But that's not why it's REALLY bullshit.
The bottom line is that the speed of light is a bit of badly written code.
Ok, so let's start with a basic simple example. A baseball. You throw a baseball at 30 mph (or however fast baseballs go when thrown, I studied physics, not sports).
If your buddy is standing next to you when you throw it, he sees that ball go 30 mph.
If he's riding his bike at 15mph and sees the ball go by, he sees it go 15 mph relative to him.
Makes total sense, yeah? For the relative velocity of a thing you subtract/add the velocities of your two observers.
Another example. If you're on a train going 50 mph and throw a 30mph baseball, someone outside the train will see that ball go 80 mph but you will see it go 30 mph if you're on a train.
Super simple stuff. Intuitive. It just makes sense.
Now then there's light. Light ALWAYS moves the same speed no matter what point of view.
That's stupid. That's crazy. It doesn't make any sense.
If you're on a rocket ship that's hauling fucking ass at half the speed of light and you shoot a laser beam out of your nose of your ship, someone outside and not going half the speed of light will see the laser go exactly the speed of light, not the speed of light plus the ship's velocity. Because that's how it works with the baseball example, right? Doesn't work for light.
No matter how you look at light, it's always the speed of light.
Oh and when I say "speed of light" I mean in a vacuum. Not this in a medium shit.
Second part in a sec. Now that we know light is always going the same speed, now we can fuck with time and causality.
