That is wrong and a stupid conclusion. You don't understand physics
at
all.

Your latter statement is a wrong and stupid conclusion,
since I could not have elicited such reaction from you -
i.e., unsupported opinions - if I had no understanding of
physics at all, right? (tomgee)

Ok, sorry. Let me explain. If we talk about speeds in our Solar system,
then
we can compare other speeds to the Sun. A ship leaving the Earth can
move
to
opposite direction (compared to the Earth's movement) and then its
"solar
speed" will be slower than that of the Earth. But in reality there are
no
speeds slower or faster, there are only speeds compared to something
else.

HH, you're 180 degrees topsy turvy from reality. You believe
like the Chief Stooge PD, that unless you can measure a
motion, no motion can exist. In reality, there are different
speeds whether or not we can measure them. E.g., there are
faster and slower speeds, as well as like speeds. This is a
self-evident fact.

Then I have to repeat that you don't understand physics at all. HH

Well, talk is cheap, so I can repeat it is you who doesn't
understand physics well enough to argue the issues it
creates, or I can say that if you do understand it well
enough to do that, then it must be that you don't know
how to talk well enough to do that, or I can say that you
must think people are so stupid they will take your claims
without requiring proper support from you for them. In
short, what naked emperors think is of no consequence
in physics.

Ok, and thank you for your comment. HH
