Also, it's based on the assumed constant of the speed of light. The (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)

| | | | (...) Everything in science is a theory. But Relativity is a working theory -- its various effects (time dilation, etc.) have actually been proven with high-speed jets, atomic clocks, and so on. Paul Davidson (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
