How is this important? Check out my previous post. Clocks are physical things that measure motion. So at the speed of light the clock still looks normal while back at the ranch your moving ultra slow. OK. If the variable is time rather than space if you increase the "time" factor looking the same from either frame of reference then the speed of light is "MUCH" further up the line, i.e. you will be FTL..... but not in violation of any "real world" physics "law". That is to say, Albert may have been wrong, but not overtly, just in the description of what is happening (thought experiments ) vs his math. Things may have "fields" that relate to each other and change with distance the time variable. That is they look like they are going slower as they get further from us, BUT not the huge distances between the stars, just out as far as some local planets. NEW questions. The devil is in the details, as always.
These "fields" are what make things, "Things"; matter and energy are yet still the same just needing new explanations as to how they really work. I am reminded that Maxwell's equations were done in "quarternons", or solutions in 4 dimensions. Professor Heavyside did not like "this spooky 4th dimension" and re-wrote Maxwells equations in "vector analysis". Which one did you learn in school? So now we have 11 dimensions?
So much more to learn.
"Through the Wormhole" TV series on science channel showed that "bar code" spectrum lines rather than be the same differ depending on which hemisphere you take the readings as to what is "done" to the speed of light. That is to say, things don't add up.
As tonight space junk falls from the sky, let's not build more smaller vehicles, let's build bigger ones'. Let's build a a space station torus style and launch it entire. Donuts can make just as good fuel tanks as cylinders can. And what makes better stability than gyroscopes? Easy in a big circular pre-built on the ground launch-able space station torus as heavy launch vehicle. Stack 'um, rack 'um, recover the first stage with a big huge "fan blade" donut hole for the next two stage launch. But maybe just one will do. Any rocket scientists looking on. Do the math and let me know.
