Interstellar Propulsion idea using an Asteroid and a few comets!

Dear A,
The speed of light in a vacuum IS source independent. This was proved by
Maxwell.

I've heard it claimed that Einstein
"discovered" the speed of light was source independent. It isn't.


It isn't? What universe do you live in.

There is only one, by definition.
Not that I expect many people to understand retrograde motion of a STAR,
which although only apparent, is so far away that it cannot be directly
either,
and is along the line of sight. Copernicus would, though.

Of course, if you are certain of the source independency of light, doubtless
you are certain of the epicycles of Ptolemy. After all, you have to believe
what you see, right?

I'm not sure that's true any longer. I've taken to referring to the
universe, of which we can observe at least a part, as the universe, and
using the term cosmos to encompass everything including the universe. Anyone
else have a preferred terminology?

Such behaviour is reprehensible.

Oh dear. I reckoned the fact that I had left the link to the original post
was sufficient. Apparently not. I apologise and will endeavour to be more
careful in future.

I followed the link you supplied, and it would appear to be my reply to the
post, so I'm not sure what I'm being accused of there.

Indeed it was. I extended the same courtesy to you by snipping what you
wrote and restoring what I wrote. However, apology accepted, perhaps we can
both show due respect for each other.
Snipping is acceptable when it is clear that neither correspondent has
anything further to add. Otherwise the point should be acknowledged by a
simple 'OK', or "I agree" or such. The alternative "I disagree because...."
is also acceptable, for that is beneficial to all. We can all learn that
way.

Due respect? Are you one of those people who demand respect as a right? You
won't get it from me in that manner.

As for snipping, I do it when I consider (always a personal judgement) that
which I am snipping has no bearing on the comments I wish to make. In short,
I try to retain those elements that I wish to respond to. It would be
extremely tiresome, both for subsequent readers and myself, to have to add
lots of "OK"s or "I disagree because..."s to something I have no further
interest in. If anyone feels they have been misrepresented by my actions,
they are totally at liberty to raise the matter and I would certainly
consider such a matter as it would suggest that I had misunderstood
something the poster considered relevant.

Do you have a specific complaint, or are you just feeling unnecessarily
dissed?
