Re: Theoretical Physics [OT thread]

The speed of light is a constant. The speed of light depends on the media through which the light is travelling... So it's a variable constant?

Tracking the place that built the ships would be a more 'realistic' way to determine if the ships join the rebellion or not.
The StarFire based novel Insurrection gives some perspective on an...
