Dear Chris O'Riordan:

The conventional explanantion for the superluminal motions observed in
many quasar-type jets is that it is an optical illusion due to the jets
being oriented at a fairly narrow angle to our line of sight.

If the jets are truly superlumenal, how is it that we can see light from
them? Since we *do* see light from them, and their spectra are
"reasonable", the rest is "tricks of geometry". If they were
superlumenal, the light could never leave...

Why? If the velocity of light isn't source dependent then what does the
sources velocity have to do with the amount of time it takes for the light
to reach us? BTW I am just asking a question. I'm not saying the source is
going c.
