Glad it amuses you, that's the point. These fearful pro-clergy only answers is concerning to me too.
Can you explain why exactly time "dilates" without saying "the observer" (the player)? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
To add to Defo's comment, light always moves at the same speed no matter how fast or slow you are going. There has never been an experiment that demonstrates that this is not true.
If a light is shone in one direction, it will appear the be moving to all observers at exactly the same speed. If you try to chase the light by moving behind it at 50% light speed, the light will still be moving away from you at the same speed that a person standing still would measure.
From there, it is simple math and extrapolation to understand that if the speed of light is fixed then the passage of time is the only variable left to conform, which it does.
