Since nobody reads these things, just look at the explanation in the actual simulation. And please POLITELY correct me if I'm wrong, okay. I'm only 12 years old.
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh forsciense imscienstist realistictpt speedoflight phot stne logic timetravel press7please

    I really appreciate this, and I congratulate you for your knowledge at such a young age. It's nice to see actual science on here. The concept you are looking at is correct, and in the model, is essentially time travel, but obviously, it isn't the same as a model in real life.

    Generaly, when one talks about the speed of light, they are talking about the speed it travels in a vacuum, aka empty space with nothing to slow it down(I realize empty space is not completly emtpy)

    Since the STNE travels faster than the photon, would that be time traveling? Yes or no, actually, no one really knows for sure but science can back that up and alot of beliefs are held of yes or no. Photons travel slow in TPT but yes, Atomic10's statistics on how fast a real photon of light will travel, fairly accurate but no one really can get an exact on how fast travels since it can refract in different materials and you can't get a accurate description and accurate statistics. Ever.

    Does that mean the STNE is a Tachyon? I don't think stone will go faster than light for quite some millenia before we discover time travel... currently, we can't time travel, but if we sent a stone by time travel by going really fast, would it kill a person who is really someone's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great etc. Grandma and possibly make alot of people not exist and would drive time into a paradox and time traveling stone would not be a very good idea.

    @Dakane Photons are only capable of traveling at c, by virtue of not having any mass. No mass, can't go slower than c. However, one may apply varius tricks to the photon, so as to make it appear slower than it must be.

    The speed of light is not the only velocity photons can have. It's the highest possible speed anything can have, but 5 mph / kmh photons are possible as well. So no the STNE here does not travel at super light speed. :P

    Vr = (v1 + v2)/(1 + something which I forgot) while the 'something which I forgot factor' getting closer and closer to 1 as their speed increases. Eventually, when they both reach light speed it also reaches one and the whole thing is being divided by 2, getting us back to only 1c.

    Nah you can't go faster than c... The old relativity doesn't change that, say 2 spaceships are moving at 0.8c... Against each other. The old relativity tells us that one sees the other travelling at 1.6c. However there's some god damn formula for that in general relativity...

    Your assertion is only true if you assume you have a fixed reference frame, which cannot be the case on account of relativity. There is also no consideration of parallax with repect to depth.
