The speed of light

Name: Anonymous 2010-11-08 2:47

How can the speed of light be constant relative to itself if traveling in opposite directions? There would have to be a speed limit to the universe and it just so happens to be the speed of something we observe everyday. Coincidence?

This is why there is no unified field theory

That's because we base every scientific form of measurement on contrast, not on absolutes. This is the foundation of Chaos Theory.

I believe it has something to do with time dilation and length contraction.

The only reason light has the speed it does is because there is something to measure it against...ie something moving at a slower speed, but said to be still when in a universe where nothing is standing still how can the true speed of light be measured? That is the fallacy of mathematics....there is always something more to the equation that we aren't taking into account. .999999999% right is not absolutely right, but for us...it's close enough to be absolutely right.
