The speed of light 2000-06-19
From Benny Lau:
I have a personal questions. In physics,if a person is running on a train, his relative speed on the ground will be the addition of the speed of train and the person. If u have a train inside another train and inside another train, so on...... can u reach the speed of light? It would need a very long distance. But if we make all the train travel in circles. Then we don't need that much distance. So can we achieve the speed of Light?
