Why I don't believe in the speed of light

What is darkness? Darkness is the absents of light energy. Darkness does not travel it is not an energy. Darkness is what you get when you have no light energy or the light energy is blocked. Sorry I'm not being a wise guy but seriously, that flawed observation means you don't undertsand the most basic science of it.

Reminds me of some high school physics homework I had once. It was a problem concerning heat exchange between two containers. I was working it out with a classmate at his house. Trying to puzzle it out, I remember saying aloud, ‘so if the cold moves down this pipe...’ My classmate was smarter than me, and pulled me up short. ‘There’s no such thing as cold,’ he said. 'There’s only heat.’

He was right, of course, and so are you. There is no such thing as darkness. There is only light.

Light is not slowed by gravity. Gravity curves spacetime, which causes light's straight path through that spacetime to appear curved to us, but gravity certainly doesn't slow it down, nor does it stop it. Light cannot be slowed. Ever. Nor can it be sped up.

The force is strong with you.Not the ironic detecting force though.

Historically, this was not actually resolved until the 1700's-1800's. Science is not obvious.

Sorry but you make as much sense as you did in the other post.

I am not a physicist. Just theorizing. Cannot prove it, as you cannot prove your theory.

Since your critiquing others ability to understand. It is absence, not "absents".

It's not my theory it's in the science books.

Wow! A spelling mistake. Please discount all that I've said then. You are correct in all that you said because I made a spelling mistake.

It seems a bit like "Hey you're talking about things I can't get my head around so I'm going to have to point out how long your nose hairs are so that I don't feel so bad within myself"
