Just one question I have got . If you believe the special theory of relativity to be correct. If you also believe therefore the concept that the velocity C is the ultimate velocity.
Based on the fact that photons have been shown to go slower than C. I would assume that C is a mathematically derived ultimate velocity and that photons in a vacuum travel incredibly close to this velocity but don't ever actually reach this velocity because it's the speed limit of the universe according to the standard interpretation of relativity.
Well if there is a speed limit to the universe in relativity. Why do we just decide that there can't be a ultimate reference of rest. Standard interpretation of relativity says that there is no ultimate reference of rest and therefore every observer can consider themselves at rest relative to C. If the value C is mathematically derived why can't there be a ultimate frame of rest which is the inverse of what you used to work out ultimate velocity.

ok As I understand it.
Time is irrelevent not because of how it is defined but rather because do to certain observations and types of calculations of great importance you simplely do not need time nor need to define time. The universe it seems is a timeless place. Entirely Spacial... what's the word... nevermind that here read this:

It explains a timeless universe better than I can.
As for variance in the Speed of Light? I haven't heard any ground breaking discoveries... not to say that just cause I've never heard about that it doesn't exsit but if you mean the variance as a photon is asorbed or emitted from electrons as it moves through mass? yeah that's cause it take time (not much. Kinda hard to give up the idea of time...) for that photon to escape and resume it's path. The photon still travels at it's absolute speed it just has more distance to travel and so it seems to slow....
My understanding of the phenomina. now about gravity. As I am quick to point out regarding Spacetime. Spacetime theory not only accounts for everything Newton's laws of gravity did but more. It doesn't refine but replaces. Spacetime Curviture is the effect know as gravity. Also todate the only thing known to affect Spacetime "fabric", that is to curve it, is Mass-Energy.
Like I said the Article which I've posted helps alot with the understanding of Spacetime Theory. Not to say that Spacetime theory isn't flawed in it's own ways.
