Re: Lens we forget...
Ok Cavediver, here is a question. I do not know a lot of physics.
Is there such a thing as "perceived inertia" as there is of mass however conceived?
I ask because in a Cambridge book "Modern Magnetism" they indicate what I believe was Maxwell's notion of inertia in magnets was not resolved until the 60s.
This question is important because if gravity is more like inertia than force (and) I still see the possible existence of absolute space even rejecting an aether, biologically, I can not exclude the effects of "perceived mass" depending on the intelligence of the life so designed (whether by aliens or not etc) such that should biological light be symmetric across saidlight cone and design symmetric commensurably the effects of the code might "appear" to move faster than light but this would be appearence in Kant's sense strictly, even if the mass effect has more than inertial influence.
Is there a confusion about inertia comparable to the one about mass at near light velocity? (I asked this because it seems theoretcially possible to have a long term supply curve that is horizontal with respect to the equivalent of price level ordinate to an independent increase in a population biology flush).
