nothing but the light can move. if you were in a spaceship and traveling at the speed of light, everything would apear to be motionless.

lets say you were driving a car that was, relative to a pedestrian on the side of the road, traveling at the speed of light. acording to you if you looked at your hand, it would apear stationary. this is not true. if you looked at your hand, it would in fact apeard to be moving ahead of you at the speed of light.
c = the speed of light
x = v<sub>hp</sub> = velocity of my hand relative to a pedestrian = c
y = v<sub>pm</sub> = velocity of pedestrain relative to me = V V V
the limit as n aproaches infinity of -[c-(1/n)] = -c
since 1/infinity = 0 its like -(c-0) = -c
z = v<sub>hm</sub> = velocity of my hand relative to me
your line of reasoning goes along with the idea that you can add velocities like this
v<sub>hm</sub> = v<sub>hp</sub> + v<sub>pm</sub>
or simply z = x+y
but it infact must be added acording to relativistic motion. this has been tested time and again and is true
z = (x+y)/[1+(xy/c<sup>2</sup>)]
well plugging in all the above values gives
z = [c - (c - 1/n)]/[1 - (c)(c - 1/n)/c<sup>2</sup>]
z = [1/n]/[1-(1-1/nc)] ----> [1/n][1-1 + 1/nc] ---> [1/n]/[1/nc]
z = c
v<sub>hm</sub> = c
so the velocity of my hand relative to me is the speed of light and not 0
replace the hand with photon, and me with a beam of light, and you get that relative to a beam of light, each photon does not have 0 velocity, but has a velocity eaqual to the speed of light.
Now can we get past your ubsurdly offtopic post and get back to my original topic post? (if a mod could split all the rudeonline related stuff into another thread that would be nice)
too many people have self replicating sigs. Don't copy this.
