John, picture if you will, an observer on earth watches a spacecraft pass

knows that the distance is about 93 million miles and clicks his stopwatch
as he passes the moon, and again as he passes the sun. Given the time and
distance, he computes his speed (measured with his slowed down time piece)
and concludes he has exceeded C. Ergo there must be analogs of C. What say
you?


Doesn't the Relativistic Gamma Function ALSO change distance?

Everything is RELATIVE: except the absolute velocity of light.
