  WHY THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS CONSTANT IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY

Harvey R. Brown and Oliver Pooley: "What has been shown is that rods
and clocks must behave in quite particular ways in order for the two
postulates to be true together. But this hardly amounts to an
explanation of such behaviour. Rather things go the other way around.
It is because rods and clocks behave as they do, in a way that is
consistent with the relativity principle, that light is measured to
have the same speed in each inertial frame."

  Re: QUR'ANIC VERSES WITH IMPORTANT GEOLOGICAL CONNOTATIONS

What possible interest does geology have to people who have had their
heads buried in the sand for several millennia? What interest is a
work of complete fiction on geology to amateur astronomers? Isn't it
true that you are only posting here to get the attention of Western
Muslims so you can radicalise them?

Prophets are lucky guessers remembered only for their most successful
guesses. Arthur C Clarke was a remarkable modern prophet but we don't
worship him. We certainly don't kill and maim people who don't believe
every word he is ever supposed to have uttered. Perhaps we will
by ..er... 3308AD when his thoughts have been corrupted so many times
that any interpretation can be put on them. By literally anybody
desperate for a cause. Any cause as long as they can wield their
little bit of power over others. If the Muslim countries were free and
tolerant then Islam would now be a fading memory.
