Meaning       the relation of momenta has a cause. With       light there is a lack of relative velocity differential       in one direction. The implication being relative       light velocity does not exist.              The odd implication appears the spin of       radiowaves. I am not sure here, but suggest       the effect of local field. Is there       a two state valuation set of spin due to transition of       local to nonlocal states?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
