A bee flying around the lamp in a train without seating anywhere is travelling with us, whereas we are sitting in a seat or a sleeper.

This sounds like relativity, and Galilean relativity at that. In an enclosed train car (so that wind doesn't get in), all of physics is exactly the same during those times the train is moving at a constant speed. In other words, it doesn't matter if the train is stopped or if it is moving at 100 km/h at constant speed---all of physics inside the train car is the same. The bee can fly around the lamp, you can sit in your seat, and all is fine. The only displacements come when the train changes speed---then you feel the effects and must compensate.

That is because both you and the bee are traveling at the same speed as the train. That is why when you jump up inside a train you land in the same spot. However, if the train were to suddenly break while you were in the air. You WOULD still land in the same spot. That's because the train has reduced speed and you are still inside the train. However, you would probably end up landing on your rear.
This also true with fighter jets that travel faster than the bullets they fire. They don't catch up to the bullets. If they did everyone would be shooting down his or her own jet. Because the jet is flying at the speed of sound the bullet it fires is already traveling at that speed. Therefore, when the bullet leaves the gun it is traveling at it's speed plus the speed of the jet it was fired from.

The lamp and you are moving along with the train at the same speed.The air and the bee will also move along normally. When all the windows/doors are open and there is .sufficient crosswind the air and the bee will be swept off.Imagine a half open goods wagon. you can safely sit or stand on it whereas a bee cannot unless it sticks to the areas undisturbed by external wind.

None of the above. I'll explain. You see, there's a bee in your bonnet. When the train started moving, the bee got out. You didn't notice that.
By the time the train reached steady speed, the bee was mighty confused and took to circling the lamp.
When the train again slowed down and finally stopped, the bee got back its bearing and returned to your bonnet. You didn't notice that either.
This kept happening over and over again.
Now don't tell me you don't wear a bonnet ! Because that would mean curtains for my beautiful theory.

Ahh yes, I can see where you are coming from, but surely the air is also travelling at exactly the same speed as we are? You don't feel the wind as you go on a train (without windows open).
The bee is flying relative to the air around it, regardless of how fast that might be travelling.

What chris saying is true. However if the bee is flying stand still when the train starts it can not stand still it will pushed out to the back unless it is sitting down Once the steady speed achieved then the chris explanation applies.

Some people really love to misuse Yahoo! Answers®. What exactly is your question?
Imagine aeroplanes flying in the atmosphere of a planet called Earth that moves around the Sun. Is that very strange to you?

for bee train is constant and only lamp is moving, so it moves around the lamp.

“And the heaven We created with could, and definitely we are (its) expander.” (Quran fifty one:40 seven) I in no way study the Quran and maximum probably ever will, so i'm no longer completely specific who 'we' are in this quote. So for now i will believe it refers to God. mutually as I DO agree that it extremely is an thrilling accident, i do no longer think of it extremely is lots better than that. whilst it includes faith, it extremely isn't any longer a much-fetched theory that existence, earth, each and every thing all of us be attentive to is alive, and growing to be. do no longer quote me in this, yet i'm rather specific the classic egyptians knew this besides by reading the night sky centuries earlier Jehova replaced into even concept-approximately. i'm sorry, yet to me it proves no longer something. As on your next expenditures... The universe had a initiating in each and every faith I even have ever learn shop for the classic Norse the place the initiating replaced into forgotten. And on your suggestions it would not 'teach' something. It makes claims which you're loose to believe in case you prefer to accomplish that. The Earth and Sky could've been one as quickly as for all i be attentive to. I fail to work out the way it extremely is correct to the difficulty. In my eyes great Bag isn't 'Earth and sky' in any respect, yet each and every thing including, yet no longer constrained to, it. If something this theory purely claims that if that tiny factor that replaced into the source of each and every thing quite replaced into each and every thing, then it somewhat actually ability that the tiny spot replaced into God. yet that spot is now long previous - so extremely, God is ineffective and we are all residing on his mortal continues to be? could make sense i think - i could like to hearken to your opinion in this 'concept'. on the different hand it may desire to signify that God replaced right into a factor of all of it, extremely than BEING each and every thing in it. if so, something could desire to have created that. something could desire to have created God. despite if i'm uncertain if i will use this as an argument simply by fact i don't be attentive to what the Quran says approximately the place God got here from interior the 1st place... i'm sorry yet this proves quite no longer something. It makes claims, there are coincidences, yet none that can not be defined by some recommend. There are coincidences in each and every faith and that i believe there is something in it to back them up, in spite of what faith it may be... you are able to desire to do extra constructive than this my pal.
