please remove history and edit as you see fit Re: light speed and death Unfortunately you did not completely re-state your question, and since we see literally dozens of questions each day and do not track intermediate correspondence, we do not have a copy of your original question. Please provide all the detail of the original. Please resubmit questions online via http://www.madsci.org/submit.html John Link, Moderator MadSci Network _______________________________________________________________ I am aware that questions which may seem to be similar to mine have been answered before. for example a speed of light spacecraft turns on its headlights, what happens to the light. and the answer is that it changes depending on where the observer is. I hope the answer to my question will have a definite answer, i.e. a person can only be killed by the spacecraft or the light. surely this can't be dependant on an observer. Thanks Jason Bloomfield Greetings - A question or many questions similar to yours have been answered on our site.
