If nothing can move faster than C, explain Chernekov radiation.

>> No.1270859

C is a constant and when the constant is at a stand still then it is easy

You don't understand Cherenkov Radiation

>> No.1270887

relativity holds that the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant

>> No.1270892

>>1270887
this

water =/= vaccum

>> No.1271054

C is the speed of light in a vacuum. Cherenkov radiation occurs when particles exceed the speed of light in some other medium.

wrong
this comes from Maxwell's equations
relativity is just built upon this fact
