Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 Apparently, the speed of light is an absolute. The speed of light from a rocket speeding away from us is the same as the speed of light on a rocket speeding towards us! I find that rather tough to comprehend. Can someone explain that in layman's terms? Also, on a completely different issue, i have wondered why courts sometimes acquit serious criminals on reasons of insanity and give capital punishment to other criminals who are judged to be of 'sound mind' even though they have committed the most heinous of crimes. Mind boggling! Aren't all criminals who kill and are cruel, terminally insane! PERIOD. And if they are all insane shouldn't they all be acquitted' and assigned to mental asylums? Either that or imprison them all for life ...i cant see how some are let off and others are made to walk the plank? Can someone explain that in layman's terms? ______________________________\ _____ Get more from the Web.
