Which clearly demonstrates that your score on understanding 20th century physics, well really 100 year old 20th century physics is a resounding zero. You just don't get even the most basic of Einstein's concepts.
It would be absolutely impossible for light to be moving away from you at anything other tan "precisely light speed."
Impossible.
Absolutely.
Totally.
Impossible.
There is no other choice.
Thank you DA.
The other postulate of Einstein that dehammer does not understand is that there is no universal reference point; all inertial reference frames, with whatever speeds they move relative to each other, are equivalent. If you transfer an observer from one to another and he cannot see the reference frame from which he came, he will conclude that he is stationary. If this were not the case, one would not have been able to walk from the back to the front in an aeroplane.
