   John Heath to All   
   Newtonian physics and the speed of light

   I am going to make a cannon to test Newtonian physics. The cannon will   
   consist of gun powder and a cannon ball. The mass of the cannon ball   
   will be an impressive not 1 not 2 not but 4 electrons . This is a heavy   
   cannon ball! The gun powder will be the total energy of the   
   annihilation 1 electron and 1 positron. We are talking E=MC^2 gun   
   powder of 1.022 MeV or 1.602e-13 Joules in Newtonian style with a   
   massive cannon ball of 4 electrons 2.044 MeV or 3.5632e-13 K Grams   
   Newtonian. Let us light the fuse on this weapon of mass   
   destruction. According to Newtonian physics the velocity will be V in   
   meters per second = SQR( energy in joules / mass in (K gram /2 )). This   
   makes the velocity of our cannon ball 299,780,663 meters per   
   second. This cannon ball will go through a brick wall like it was   
   butter.   
      
   Do you see the problem? The number 229,780.663 meters per second. What   
   on earth is the speed of light doing in Newtonian physics. They did not   
   know the speed of light at this time. Why would our quad electron   
   cannon ball have a velocity of exactly c calculated using only   
   Newtonian physics V=SQR(energy / (mass/2)) ?
