Your measurement of time and space will always adjust to ensure light travels at a constant speed.
Time dilates, length contracts. So perhaps it would "look" like the car travelled a smaller distance over a longer period of time that what you expected, from your frame of reference, versus a third observer who can see you both.
- Nition 9y agoThanks, that looks like what I'm talking about and I'll have a read through. It looks like pretty dense reading but the equations mostly don't look too horrible.
- posterboy 9y ago> Your measurement of time and space will always adjust to ensure light travels at a constant speed. Enough with the metaphors already, the measurements don't do anything, you, or rather phyisicists and the like do measurements, and they adjust numbers normalized to c=1 because how else would you do it. There is no way to synchronize clocks because of the CAP theorem, nevermind relativity.
