But is the speed of light a ceiling, or is the speed of light really the floor; ground state? — wellwisher
Physics does not currently use C-level as the ground state. It assumes, without saying, that inertial and matter is the ground state. — wellwisher
which was ambiguous.Since the speed of light is the constant — Metaphysician Undercover
But in reality, the still pool, before we start the pump is the true t=0. — wellwisher
How do we even detect it if it's not at the level of potential? In your analogy of still pool, is that even possible to detect? — Caldwell
To maintain that plateau centric POV, we will need to speculate about the existence of alternate dimensions or white holes that teleport the water to other places. — wellwisher
Speed-of-light is simply one aspect of the elephant. If you want to consider the thing as a whole, then it would be as velocity in spacetime. I am under the impression that velocity in spacetime is constant; i.e.,, your velocity is partly through space, partly through time. Invariant when those are combined. — tim wood
