Hitler was perhaps the most influential and swaying speakers of this century.
You are sooo 20th century, loud.

Machs Nichts (apologies to mamuthus)
I'm not that either Darwin's views on racism or Hovinds tax evasion have anything to do with how right or wrong they are on matters of science. Why do we need to go wildly off on these tangents?
edited to fix some (but probably not all) of the spelling

Taxes are christian aren't they?
Odd behavior on Hovind's part. A lot of taxes go to support people without as much as those who pay taxes (to the degree that the system is progressive). I would have thought that this is a thorougly Christian point of view.
(however, this is both off topic and besides the point).
Tax evader or not, Hovind is wrong.
Racist or not, Darwin was right.

How about my guess
The difference is that if you were to measure the speed of approach of a sound wave moving through air toward you and you were moving toward it you would get an additive affect. It is possible for the front of the sound wave to be, in your reference frame, traveling faster than the speed of sound in air.
This is not what is measured in the case of light.

Re: How about my guess
However with no airspeed and non-moving observer the experiment should properly simulate the effect of speed on light, however (so a couple caveats are added ...). Trying to keep it simple.
But the point was having additions of velocity so something has to be moving. Once something is you can transform into any frame of reference you want. So with no relative motions the relativity effects aren't going to show are they?
