Special relativity means you CAN'T exceed the speed of light. Say two objects are zooming at each other at .9c. From the reference frame of one of the objects, the other object is moving at 1.8c according to you. This isn't the case. When dealing with high velocities you have to use lorentz transforms, you can't just add the velcities together.

>Explain to me, mr faget, why rotating frames are automagically not rotating.

Because ANY inertial frame of reference is valid. Coordinate velocities have no physical meaning. Mathematically you can hold any object as stationary and use it to model the motion of other objects. There is no such thing absolute velocity, it has to be taken relative to something else.

In short, lrn2relativity (both special and GR)

As long as it's just a hobby/philosophy then more power to you. Damn I want to go smoke and lay out under the stars now haha. Too bad you usually can't see shit in LA.
