WTFery? - 01-05-05

According to someone Einstein or someone else along those lines believes that if one beam of light went toward another beam of the light the "collision" of those two beams would merely be the speed of light in terms of faux velocity, whereas how you have two cars hit each other head on and the speeds are basically combined.

I don't understand that.
Really, I don't.


I think it's total and utter idiocy.

Also, I do not believe that "Traveling at the speed of light" causes any sort of "temporal warp", because time itself is nothing more than the basic progression of the chemical reactions of the body, as I was informed in Chemistry, and unless if traveling at a fast velocity causes the reactions to stop then it wouldn't make sense.
On top of that, there's also the fact that while you might seem to be moving while nothing else is moving, while at the speed of light, it does not mean that time has slowed...merely that you are moving faster than everything else. Compare a Car that's going 10 MPH to a car that's going 100. It seems like the one that's going 10 is at a standstill if you view it from the car going 100.

Yup.

Pie.
