    Do as you will on the open road, but dont speed in the 50 zones.
    80 in a 50 zone does seem a teensy bit high.

    The most I ever did in a 50 zone was 130. (But there was no traffic and it was a fine day and I was real careful and ... )

    Correct! You must be well versed on the Theory of Relativity. Radio is electromagnetic waves and therefore travels at the speed of light. According to Einstein, no object with mass can reach the speed of light and light will always travel at the speed of light in ALL frames of reference.

    Yarning with a visiting german dude at work today..

    "In new zealund, the driving speed, too slow, the roads are scheisse, very scheisse, my audi has 220 on the speed.. speed dial, when I drive the autobahn, the dial is over 220, always over 220, no problem, here in new zealund, this is not good, over 220 and other cars look still, very dangerous, very scheisse"

    And with all the autobahn roads we have the speed limit SHOULD be 220kph...

    Everyone goes on about the Speed of Light as if it's some holy grail....pffft. It's no faster than the Speed of Dark.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    What we call light has mass....and travels at the speed of light....

    Not all that we call light travels at the same speed....(Rainbows?)

    Just being a Dick back....

    Well, light has an EFFECTIVE mass, derived from Einstein's E=mC^2, and from the momentum of the photon. But it does not have a rest mass as your normal every day matter does ie apples or neutrons where when can measure it's mass when it is stationary to our frame of reference. Light is never stationary to our frame of reference and therefore does not have a rest mass..

    More bullshit (i'm studying quantum mechanics at auckland uni... incredibly interesting stuff!)
