In other news the Government is requiring mandatory mind reading devices installed on all citizens, to help protect against terrorists and help prevent crime before it happens.
"We believe this device will help route out terrorists and all others not loyal to the bush regime, and we will actively seek out all thought crime, by holding these terrorists or would be criminals indefinitely."
One of the fundamental rules of physics is everything is relative. If you have 2 objects in space, and your standing on one of the objects, and you see the other object getting closer... who's moving? The answer is its relative, without some frame of reference you can't say who's moving. And your reference frame is completely up to you, you can choose the one your standing on or the other object, you can even choose both moving at some split up speed. Either you are moving towards it or its moving towards you or both.
Now to my point, suppose this object is flying at you at 99.999999% the speed of light, no problem right? Well now fire your booster to get your little object flying at a measley 1% of light toward it.
99.999999 + 1% = 100.999999%
You've just broken the speed of light(remember its all relative its not actually moving your cruising towards it, or your not moving and its cruising towards you)
Q.E.D
And for more examples imagine your in a train which is next to another train on the tracks(all you can see is the body of the other train and not the ground), you see the other train start to pull away(for a brief second you can't be sure who's moving), then you feel a bump and realize it is you who is moving.
