I know that the because of distance between sun & earth, light takes aprox. 8 min.
but its just a formula based calculation, cause we never (I guess) conducted any experiment to do that.
# space stuff, I don't want to make complecated but its Einstein who is responsibbl,e I was very much happy with Newton's theory.
#md65536, as far as I know object aproching speed of light its own length decreases not the path length.
My one more question is when say any object (other than photon) travelling at 50% of speed of light then time frame for that object is slower by 50% but then for fixed length doesn't that object experience an ( may be psuedo) accelaration?
