What is the ultimate point of reference?

Question

There has been a lot of confusion over the speed of light and how it is the same from all reference points. If we find that Ultimate Reference Point, will we see and finally understand True Existence?

Answer 1

We are *all* the "ultimate reference point"....



Especially me.

Answer 2

Who says there has been a lot of confusion over the speed of light? Are you talking about the situation in 1900? That is history.



You are confusing science with mysticism. Frames of reference in science have nothing to do with the 'ultimate reference point' (whatever that is) in mysticism. Just because there is some similarity in the words used does not mean there is any connection between the ideas. Neither does 'plate tectonics' have any connection with porcelain.

Answer 3

IF the Universe is finite and have a shape, there is a true center which we could declare it as the ultimate point of reference, except we don't even know the shape of the Universe. If the Universe is infinite then, whenever you observe from it is the point of reference.

Answer 4

The whole secret to the speed of light be the same in every reference frame is to conclude that there is NO ultimate reference point.

Answer 5

There is no Ultimate reference Point.



That is the whole point of Relativity. EVERYTHING is relative -- even the reference .

Answer 6

There is no ultimate reference point in the universe, so all speeds are relative. That is why Einstein's theory is called the theory of relativity.

Answer 7

The very premise of the theory of relativity is that there is no absolute frame of reference. If there was, relativity would no longer be valid. But since relativity has been proven over and over again, there is no reason to think it is invalid.

Answer 8

Not a chance. This is an esoteric question.

Answer 9

That's easy. There is no such thing.
