Thanks Alan, but you have misinterpreted my question, as I feared many would. What I want to know is, in the early developmental stages of relativity(ie the work of Lorentz), when and how it was determined that in the case of light hitting a moving object the speeds would no longer be additive/subtractive. This would have been a major break with existing theory of the time. On a different subject, re Hamdani, maybe we should send him David Hilbert's 20(?) odd unsolved mathematical problems since he claims to be making progress on Riemann?
