No, the question is, are you a ranting lunatic?

No, that's not the question, that's a fact. I'm a ranting lunatic, no
doubt :p
(USENET groups are ideal spaces for ranting).

The speed of light in a vacuum, under emission theory, expressed as c'
= c+v is
only an approximation to first order. There are other terms that
remain still
untested. These are,

c'/c = 1 + v/c + v^2/2c^2 + v^3/6c^3 + ...


Happy New Year 2008 !!!
