Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Isn't C relative?
« on: 08/04/2012 00:42:57 »
Hi naked scientists,
Haven't ever seen this podcast I keep reading about here, but I've been reading through your forums for quite some time now and have found answers to many of my questions. There is just this little thing about C I don't get.
If C is always about 300000m/s relative to you, no matter how fast you go relative to earth. Then why isn't it possible for a spaceship/meteorite/rock/whatever to speed say 600000m/s faster then earth through space? C will still be C relative to that spaceship/meteorite/rock/whatever.
Is it possible that momentum is some sort of dimension with C as it's horizon? If something has a momentum >C relative to earth could it be dark matter and vice versa?
You guys are probably pacepalming right now,
but anyway, what am I not getting?
sincerely,
Enzo from Italy
