So if I understand correctly, the CG is moving at the same speed as the object.

So how do you determine the speed of light at a given point?

What happens to the energy involved in light changing velocity by such a large amount? It seems to me that if the universe is full of CGs which are all moving at different velocities, and the speed of light varies according to the intensity and speed of the CGs it's passing through at any given moment, that would mean that light is constantly changing velocity as it travels around the universe. This would mean that images of extended objects at large distances would tend to be blurred, because the light from them would have traversed different regions of space where the intensity and velocity of the CGs would be different from each other. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
