No, I'm not responding because you have looped back into the same
idiocies without learning a thing.

So, Ken, let's recap your position for a moment.
- You are no longer living at your own home, so you don't have access
to the few references you own (Einstein's book on relativity and your

I have a question, YBM. Whether you talk about photons or light
fronts, in the frame of reference of the train, the light is traveling
at a speed of c from the two points where light was emitted in the...
