There is no such thing as "Empty Space". it has to hit something... it doesn't doge stuff.. so it cannot ever reach 'it's' speed of light. Vacumns do not exist. empty space does not exist. dat is why the earth revolves around the sun... the sun is in it's way. wat is the speed of light in the ocean? if it don't hit a fish... -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
