Think about this a bit. Both light and bullets are physical entities. A
mathematical transformation is completely artificial, you cannot hand
me one to examine at my kitchen table. Mathematics is a shorthand that
is used to explain physical phenomena but can do nothing to alter how
anything behaves.

How indeed.

Consider any number of questions posed by Mitch. They are always of this
sort conflating artifice with physical reality. It is time we stopped
playing into his hand.
