Light travels in space - It is bound by our laws as it is affected by gravity. Matter is also made out of energy.. my gut feeling is that it is made from the same stuff light is made out of (Drum roll.... E=Mc^2+(P^2)*(c^2)) .. We know that as matter goes towards c, it suddenly increases in mass (gamma in the lorentz transformation equations goes to infinity). This basically tells us light is the fastest thing which moves in our space-time. I know in the Milikan experiment it was ruled out that the ether existed.. but could there be a possibility we can "lift" matter or light into a "hyperspace" and make it go faster. Think of it like a boat in water.. it can only go so fast.. but as soon as you give it wings and it lifts from the water (in our case, space-time) all of the sudden the boat can go faster. We just can't detect it because it is not in our reality. What I am saying here would be considered heresy in a college setting. Let me know your thoughts and your pros and cons.

Michaelson-Morely - I had this in my brain and mistakenly wrote Milikan experiment (That was measuring e by oil drops.. painful experiment. leaves you blind). As I was writing the above I was thinking of the Michaelson Interferometer.

You need the branch of math/physics that enables you to divide by zero. Once you have solved the theoretical limitations, the technological ones can be taken on.
And the failed search for measuring ether was Michaelson-Morely.

particular you may. basically whilst they are interior the solar's mild are you able to make sure them. the proper time is around dawn/sundown, simply by fact the sattelite desires to be in image voltaic, in any different case there's no longer something to mirror off of it, and it does not be seen. there's a undeniable think approximately its orbit, whilst it reflects image voltaic particularly much 180degrees and fairly shines brightly. it fairly is called an iridium flare whilst that happens, if i'm no longer flawed. you may lookup tables, in line with the place you're, which permit you be attentive to precisely the place and whilst an iridium flare will happen, so which you will pass and look ahead to them. Even with out seeing a flare, you may actual spot satellites.
