Astounds me that they have time to do this sort of stuff. Let's face it, our movements in space time, the ripples of black holes etc doesn't really make much difference.

They need to watch a bit less Star Trek and get a life.

I'd like to withdraw this post because I just found the following:

Quote:
Page 1439 question 37.19
A pursuit spacecraft from the planet Tatooine is attempting to catch up with a Trade Federation cruiser. As measured by an observer on Tatooine, the cruiser is traveling away from the planet with a speed of 0.6c. The pursuit ship is traveling at a speed 0.8c relative to Tatooine, in the same direction as the criser. What is the speed of the cruiser relative to the pursuit ship?
A rep point for whoever posts the correct answer.
