The beauty of the thought experiment is the ability to test hundreds of ideas. The proof comes when the results not only predict known phenomena but also predict additional physical results which can be tested.

The trick is not giving up following the path of assumptions and conclusions until a testable result is determined.

The last few posts had interesting ideas, but none of them have been followed to the point of testing... Yet.

So what are your assumptions...

And what are the conclusions?
