Why is the speed of light the measuring stick? I mean, duh, obviously there are things faster than it we have yet to encounter.

Yep. That's the thing about theories... they look great until disproven. But look at the value in discovering that the theory may be wrong. Now, we may find a host of new discoveries knowing where to look for them.

No shit. That's why we still have science.

I'm a genius because I can't build a lamp.

Ask Meg in the episode of "Family Guy," where her face melts.

LMAO

What is your point? That science is ever discovering new things at an amazing and exciting pace? You'd be correct. Science is wonderful.

You mock science for being wrong, I get excited by something that opens a LOT of doors for mankind. As I said, this is an amazing age of discovery. You should embrace it.

Well,Maxwell came up with the theory first.

So since we don't know nearly as much as we think we do, we should stop seeking knowledge?

BRAVO! :clap:

And, since the introduction of complex numbers, we are still challenged, to consolidate Newton's and his equations.

That one extra point must be the most important one, because no one's going to remember you even existed.

Is the same true for Christianity?

So the Theory of Relativity was wrong? I bet those folks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are glad they aren't really dead.

Not wrong... just incomplete..

And Einstein predicted as much. He was never content with his Theory of Relativity, and he always felt it was incomplete. He spent quite a bit of time searching for the next step, the Theory of Everything that would explain away the things he struggled with concerning his own theory.

But that's the brilliance of science as a whole. It's so self disciplined that it's always a work in progress. Ever evolving along with our understanding and discovery. So that it's constantly improved.

Maybe I dreamed this or maybe I was visited by the ghost of Herman Melville's brother Mel during an overdose event, but I thought that Max Planck's quantum mechanics theories had predicted this some time ago ... like say ... in the early 1900's or so. I seem to recall that, before they started jamming together, he called Einstein an ugly goober.

More recently, the whole concept of quantum disentanglement leads one to believe that the "speed of light" is not an impassible threshold since information between particles can be passed instantly over enormous distances.
