explain this NOW
>>
>>16964411
we are in a simulation with limited amounts of energy so there has to be a cut-off point.
>>
Light speed is a constant.
>>
>>16964411
Light isn't "shot out" like a bullet. It propagates across a static field in the background.
>>
>>16964411
You are adding energy to the lightbeam, it doesn't go faster but the light itself becomes more energetic by blue-shifting it to more energetically rich blue photons.
>>
>>16964431
that makes 0 sense. if you slow down a video of light moving through fiber optic it looks exactly like a bullet being shot out
>>
>>16964411
Friction?

And this hill looks exactly like a giant titty.

light has no mass, surface and stuff so it can't be pushed
it's speed is constant and just influenced by what it is travelling through
>>
>>16964411
Aether propagates light at a maximum speed. Aether has a local zero-speed. Aether can be frame-dragged in gravitational flows.

>light has no (...) stuff
source? calling bullshit on this

>it's speed is constant and just influenced by what it is travelling through
what if i put a flash light inside a water tank and move the tank at some velocity higher than the light gets slowed down through that medium?

holy truke
>>
oh no how will I ever learn to do a lorentz transform?
such black magick linear algebra impossibru to comprehend
>>
>>16964725
>Using relativistic velocity addition, if the tank moves faster than light-in-water, the light inside would actually appear to travel backward relative to the tank's motion to an external observer.

>uhhhhgh i dont know anything about physics but its just gotta have a MEDIUM ok??
>>
>>16965526
>i dont know anything about physics
The Æther, or electromagnetic field, or what ever you want to call it?
The characteristics of the medium is what makes the speed of light a constant. Hurr-Durr
>>
>>16965540
What a vacuous statement
