Hey Bookmark, I’ll tell you what I have in common with Einstein, I quit reading other people’s work.

I think you had better start reading other people's work as you evidently have little understanding of any current research into the properties of light and of GR.

 In point of detail it was Einstein's work itself that shows the speed limit of information exchange.

For people so beholden to scientific decorum you awfully light on substantive points. Make a supposition beyond a quip and I’ll counter.

You haven't proposed anything with any possible validity. The speed of light and information exchange has over 100 years of tests performed to validate the speed limit.

You have to be willing to read other people's work. 

 I could literally post dozens of research papers showing the speed limit tests. However if you never read them then it's pointless

You still haven’t directly contented anything I’ve said, your merely emboldened by the moderator.

Enough times to know your wrong and that you ignored the responses of others who have giving you correct answers

Here is one test for the speed  limit.

It's also well tested using lasers

“The speed of light is relative to the force of ejection from the center of origin.”

Clay, you have some weird thinking going on. 

What about the speed of sound? I was about seven years old, when I first realised that sound takes time to travel. I saw a man hitting a steel spike with a hammer about 200 metres away, but I heard the sound after I saw him hit, so I knew that sound wasn't instant from that point on. 

The speed of sound has NOTHING to do with the force of ejection, as you claim above. It's the same whatever force you use. 

You can observe that in a pond. Make waves with different force, it doesn't matter. They move at the same rate.

Sound appears to be instant, till you observe it over a distance. Light is similar, only much faster, so you need bigger distances to get a significant delay. But the fact that it seems instant to you is for the same reason that sound seems instant. It's too fast for everyday experience, that's all.

A similar lesson is available with lightning during storms. We see the flash then begin counting before we hear the boom, and the number we count up to helps us determine how far away the strike was. This “higher number equals farther away” relationship has thankfully helped soothe scared kids for generations...

O.k that’s good but I hope your realizing of the difference between an event and a constant emanation.

Wow the moderator just closed the other post I had, said I can’t bring up Ejection Theory or Deflation Theory, going to be hard it ties into this one, by the way I call it Porch Light Theory.
