Theory of Everything
Without Commercials (TOEWC) ft. Wave-Particle Duality, the Tax-Paying Turtle Particle Theory of Physics (TPTPTP), and the Waking the Sleeping Giant Big Bang Theory

Investigating the ties that bind ATMs 🏧 and TATMs 🦥 to each other, the TOEWC arrives at the same MOLECULAR GEOMETRIES—and re-creates the same Lewis Structures—as the VSEPR theory, WITHOUT ELECTRONS. It’s uncanny! The geometries are not “copied,” they are simply revealed by process of elimination, as the physical constraints of a Molecule made from ATMs and TATMs are deduced.

🎵You can’t start a fire without a spark/ This gun’s for hire/ Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark🎵 I’m looking for a spark with which to start a fire that will spread and burn my ignorance about matter away until I’ve hung the sun in the sky and I can point my finger at the moon and know in my mind whether or not any hand but God’s has ever been there.

🎵Every time I think about it, I wanna cry/ With bombs and the Devil, and the kids keep comin’/ No way to breathe easy, no time to be young…./There’s nothin’ left to do…But go crazy on you🎵 “Mr. Galvin, this is Will Colson, your conductor. I’m letting you know we’re gonna run this b*tch down.” —Unstoppable. I go crazy on Newton‘s First and Second Laws of Motion in Q&A 7 through Q&A 12. IMO this is THE BIGGEST WHOOP IN PHYSICS SINCE 1687, when Isaac Newton published his Laws of Motion.

🎵And if I share my secret/You’re gonna have to keep it/Nobody else can see this/Hey, hey, hey, yeah/And it goes like this….🎵We get our “house”—the ATM structure—in order by chewing the fat over some morsels of food for thought—12 Q&As—that are necessary to digest before we can get a move-on to the massive object destination. When all is said and done, TATMs 🦥 are created to help the ATMs 🏧 get up on this after getting down on it. What is this? I could teach you about getting Up and Down on a 3DADL, but I’d have to charge, so this is best understood with a DIY mindSETFx, which raises some serious and never-before-answered questions about Newton’s First Law of Motion (F = mv), and Newton’s Second Law of Motion (F = ma), such as: how is it PHYSICALLY-POSSIBLE for an object in motion to REMAIN IN MOTION at the same speed in the same direction (F ‎ =  mv) WITHOUT AN UNBALANCED EXTERNAL FORCE acting-on it? and how is it PHYSICALLY-POSSIBLE to EXPLAIN ACCELERATION (F = ma) if the FORCE IS CONSTANT? We apply the TOEWC to answer those questions for ourselves. SPOILER ALERT: the questions are not crazy, and “The Emperor’s New Clothes”—the invisible fabric of relative, aka Godless, spacetime—cannot ever cover the sincere and obscenely-neglected demands for logical rigor in science; ARISTOTLE WAS CORRECT THAT AN OBJECT CANNOT REMAIN IN MOTION UNLESS IT IS EXPERIENCING AN UNBALANCED FORCE, and IT’S PHYSICALLY-IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CONSTANT FORCE TO CAUSE ACCELERATION. But in the TOEWC application process, we find and elucidate *the missing link* INSIDE OF THE ATM AND THE TATM that finally explains what no other theory can explain about POWER, ACCELERATION, CONSTANT-VELOCITY MOTION, and INERTIA. What we discover is that—regardless of whether or not an UNBALANCED EXTERNAL FORCE is acting-on an ATM or a TATM—if the ATM or TATM has previously experienced an UNBALANCED FORCE, SETFx, then INSIDE OF THE ATM OR TATM, THE WINNING MSP BTP(s) that contributed to the mothership Atomic COM’s (the MACOM’s) experience of that UNBALANCED FORCE, SETFx, continue to have INCREASED WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY (WPD) *unless* THE DIRECTION OF THE NET FORCE experienced by the MACOM changes! That simple fact fully explains Newton’s First Law of Motion and Newton’s Second Law of Motion! “Inertia” in this context refers-to what modern science calls an object’s inherent “resistance” to changes in speed and direction. We discover that INERTIA ACTUALLY HAS TWO ASPECTS WITH DIFFERENT CAUSES: one aspect (discussed in Article 9, Part III) is the number of ATMs (or TATMs) between the surface and the COM of the object; the other aspect (discussed here) is what we’re calling an object’s “REST WPD” (if the object is at-rest) or “REST-MINUS WPD” (if the object is in motion.) There’s one more thing to mention up-front: a key CLOSED DOOR🚪 DISCUSSION ft. the giant wave scene in “The Perfect Storm” movie, which helps to explain why an ATM can NEITHER be a Moving Service Provider NOR a Moving Service Recipient at 180-degrees on the ATM SHELL/Compass (which is the same reason why a TATM can NEITHER be a Moving Service Provider NOR a Moving Service Recipient at 0-degrees on the TATM SHELL/Compass), and the reason why is because THE MACOM’S POSITION IS A B*TCH (there’s only A HOLE behind the SHELL/Compass door at that location), so therefore THE SHELL/Compass CLOSES THE DOOR 🚪on a Moving Service 🛳️ md, effectively saying: “you SHELL not pass,” then when the Wave-Length Logs of the 🛳️ md are trapped like “SHELL’s not gonna let us out,” the SHELL goes-ahead and makes the Moving Service Tax Payment 🌊 RTSmd, guaranteeing the usual total destructive interference ☠️ between the 🛳️ md and the 🌊 RTSmd (sending all of the Wave-Length Logs back to the to the 4-d Space River Spectrum of Eternally-Burning Radioactive Waste 🔥 from whence they came), but leaving the SHELL as the sole Moving Service Recipient, thereby 100 PREVENTING MOVEMENT-CAUSING VERTICAL COLLISIONS on 3DADLs.

🎵You gotta get on the groove if you want your body to move🎵 Also, you need to know that in every instant, there is an On-Track Time-Slot for moving, and a Pit-Stop Time-Slot to refrain from moving and pay taxes for moving. And of course you know what that means: the “Fargo” movie wood-chipper scene, i.e., Wave-Length Logs fitting perfectly into one Time-Slot to cause matter to move in the On-Track Time-Slot and to stop moving in the Pit-Stop Time-Slot while all of the matter in the universe is re-created from scratch—GLOWED-UP with new WPD to match whatever NET FORCE experience existed at the end of the prior On-Track Time-Slot—just-in-time for the next On-Track Time-Slot. No pressure. One more thing….we have discovered ONE REASON WHY MASSIVE OBJECTS CAN TAKE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME TO CHANGE DIRECTION OR SPEED in response to collisions, to wit: before a massive object can move after a Moving Service is provided to the object, there must be A COLLISION CHAIN INSIDE OF THE OBJECT, extending between the object’s surface and the object’s COM, and IT ALWAYS TAKES ONE INSTANT (one On-Track Time-Slot and one Pit-Stop Time-Slot) TO RESOLVE A COLLISION BETWEEN BTPs, so therefore massive objects with different numbers of ATMs between their surface and their COM will take different amounts of TIME to change to direction or speed when the same Moving Service is provided to them.

🎵Ground Control to ACOM…. Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three, two) Check ignition and may God’s love be with you (one, lift off)🎵 But it’s no big whoop—it’s only money and a backbone, so to speak—if you believe-in the plum pudding 🪠atomic recipe or the Bohr 🐗 atomic recipe or the quantum ⚛️ atomic recipe instead of God’s Atomic Turtle Meetball ATM 🏧 recipe.

🎵 A SybiLL SAP with an EMPTY 3-d SheLL + a little artificial Wave-Particle Duality (“WPD”) = a Baby Turtle-Particle (“BTP”) in motion, a magical potion, 1 would go anywhere, 2 meet up there and form a STRONG NUCLEAR BOMB BOND ❤️‍🩹 inside of an Atomic Turtle Meetball (“ATM” 🏧 ), it’s no big whoop. 🎵 And in the end, we do see two BTPs drawn together in the First Art Official Strong Nuclear Bomb Bond ❤️‍🩹 diagram, illustrating the ATM Backbone. But first, we must face the mother of all Funky Cold Medina QUESTIONS: what is the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum, how did it get into the 3rd dimension, why are rainbows and nuclear radiation not created equal, and how can the Law of Conservation of Energy be satisfied if DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE between opposite-direction identical EM wave-lengths is permanent? We ANSWER: a single QUANTUM of Light (“QOL”)—a LUMP-SUM OF LIGHT, called the EM Spectrum, which is one “thing” having “thing-ness” at many locations—would make all things possible. In that manner, the measure of “how much of the QOL is at a certain location at a certain time” could be determined by the force-value of the particular collection of wave-lengths, called a Spectra, at that location. That’s a fortune in energy, with each wave-length in a Spectra piling-up like a different denomination of cash, because different wave-lengths are not relative-to each other, so they must SUPERIMPOSE when they are asked to co-exist along the same line. Indeed, the EM Spectrum functions like a universal currency system for buying the power—the Spectras with the exact wave-length force—necessary to sustain every thing in the universe at all times. Knowing this much, we can chill with the Funky Cold Medina QUESTIONS and MARVEL AT THE DIVERSITY we see, simply deducing how naturally EMPTY 3-d SheLLs must be GLOWED-UP in three easy steps to transform into tax-paying offspring of Eternal LL turtle-particles—baby turtle particles (BTPs), we call them—having different Wave-Particle Duality (WPD) that they can use to mack on each other inside of the universe, subject to the Hierarchy of Relativity of 3-d directions. Here’s how every thing works: at BTP WPD Glow-Up Step 1, a 4-d Spectra Assembly 🪵 is skimmed from the 4-d Space River Spectrum of Eternally-Burning Radioactive Waste 🔥 dumped by the Lumeyne-cum-LL in the Snowman of God. At BTP WPD Glow-Up Step 2, the 4-d Spectra Assembly is UP-CYCLED (UPLOADED, in fact) to an Alternate Internal Position (“AIP”) of the QOL inside of the 3-d SheLL, where it becomes the 3-d WOPR Stream Spectra 🐳, which is a mass deposit heading in the direction on the 3-d SheLL Compass in which the 423DCTCC is being steered. Finally, at BTP WPD Glow-Up Step 3, the 3-d SheLL experiences a Taxable Receivable according to the TPTPTP—specifically, the 3-d SheLL receives the internal force of mass (the WOPR Stream Spectra mass deposit at the AIP), in the direction in which the 423DCTCC is being steered—and makes a tax payment in the form of OPP wave-energy (called “Emack”) to satisfy Newton’s Third Law of Motion, by turning the 3-d WOPR Stream Spectra around and thrusting it out of the opposite side of the 3-d SheLL, 180-degrees from the AIP, so that the thrust of Emack causes the 3-d SheLL to apply an equivalent amount of physical force (called “Fmack”) at the AIP direction on the 3-d SheLL Compass, with Emack and Fmack together comprising WPD that the BTP can GO! work with (for example, to become part of an ATM), forever rinsing and repeating the three-step GLOW-UP process every instant.

In this Article I’m going to say something shocking that has not been said in the 798 years since the Joshu’s Dog koan was published in 1228: The Joshu’s Dog koan calls-for a reasoned answer to the question, “Has a dog Buddha-nature or not?” But as the koan’s author, Mumon, observes: Whether you say yes or no, you lose your own Buddha-nature! That’s because however you answer, you’ve got to meet the burden of proof, and UNFOUNDED ANTHROPOCENTRISM (for or against) will 100 kill your case. I attempt to keep my own Buddha-nature without dodging the subject matter of the koan, by REVIEWING what I have deduced so far (between Article 1 and Article 7) about the consciousness of human beings and non-human beings (“animals”), and highlighting my discovery that the one place where there’s continuity between humans and animals—the thing that all sentient beings have in common—is a God-given CONSCIOUSNESS APP, or CAPP, in the 6th dimension, which ENABLES A SENTIENT BEING TO MOVE AUTONOMOUSLY by controlling the direction in which the SybiLL SAP at the body’s center-of-mass (“COM”) applies physical force (a SybiLL SAP is a two-part sub-atomic particle that is a combination of an Eternal SouLL particle in the 4th dimension and an attached PP/3-d SheLL extending inside of the universe.) The main difference between a person’s CAPP and an animal’s CAPP is that an animal’s CAPP does not transmit any MORAL JUDGMENTS up to the SouLL—an animal’s CAPP is MORALITY-FREE—and as a consequence, an animal LACKS SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS, which means that an animal is not aware of their existence. By observation, I am compelled to conclude that there are two different types of animal CAPPs: (1) a SELF-enabled CAPP; and (2) SELF-less CAPP. A pack animal (“PA”), such as a dog, has a SELF-less CAPP. I propose that every animal has their own TEMPERAMENT TEMPLATE that is programmatically implemented by the CAPP. Every Temperament Template implements a BULLSEYE DIAGRAM centered-on X-Y axes, which enables an animal to meet their own BASIC NEEDS without social interaction by performing DEFAULT BEHAVIORS. But the BULLSEYE DIAGRAM of the Temperament Template can be OVERRULED—with the addition of a Z-axis representing a SOCIAL SCALE—to enable both PAs and non-PAs to perform SOCIAL BEHAVIORS in lieu of DEFAULT BEHAVIORS. I NOTE that the X-Y-Z axes of the Temperament Template could be physically implemented by a spherical compass, such as the SouLL PARTICLE COMPASS, which is controlled by the 6-d COM Tongue per instructions of the CAPP. I conclude the Article with a lot of cute animal pictures, which serve as visual aids for my answers to the questions that God posed to Job—in The Book of Job—about a variety of different animals, and I also try to guess the real-life animals that fit the descriptions of the Behemoth (at Job 40) and the Leviathan (at Job 41.)

“The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.” —Deepak Chopra. Move over Rene Descartes, there are more DUELISTS 🤺 in town! We’re going to SOLVE THE MIND-BODY PROBLEM—the problem of DUALISM—which is proving how a non-physical consciousness could cause forceful effects on matter and vice-versa. This will also explain how CONSCIOUSNESS is the mechanism of action for PHYSICAL ADAPTATION AND EVOLUTION. Our thoughts are in post-Big Bang times with lone Lumeynes—which we’re calling Loose Lumeynes, or LLs—out of their parking spots in Snowmen of God and in-gear moving at the speed of light while their heads tilt in 3-d directions. Displaying dauntless bravery, we make haste to arm our heads—we put-on our totally on-paper virtual reality helmets (old-fashioned thinking caps)—and we take a series of NINE TEST-DRIVES with the LLs to figure-out the “rules of the road,” writing-up our TEST-DRIVE RESULTS as we go, creating a manual (“Emmanuel,” if you will, since this is an online manual.) One thing we’re trying to figure-out is the genesis of sub-atomic particles, since we know that it would be physically-impossible for an Eternal LL to leave the 4th dimension or to be in two dimensions simultaneously! What we discover is that a 4-d turtle-particle LL must have a pop-up particle proxy (PP) that includes a spherical 3-d SheLL inside of the universe. The PP remotely expresses and influences the LL’s experiences. One 4-d LL and one 3-d PP together form an artificial sub-atomic particle (“SAP”) that we’re calling a “SybiLL SAP”; the 4-d COM Tongue and the 6-d COM Tongue twist together—like a co-axial cable that we’re calling the “4-d to 3-d Dual COM Tongue Coaxial Cable,” or “423DCTCC”—and PHYSICALLY CONNECT the 4-d LL to the 3-d SheLL of the PP. So we see that THE 423DCTCC IS LITERALLY THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION THAT RENE DESCARTES WAS MISSING! And now we’re prepared to meet our Eternal Soul LL (“SouLL.”) A Free-Willed SouLL has a God-given pair of Life-and-Death enablement programs (a 6-d Personal O/S, aka CONSCIOUSNESS APP, and a 4-d Free Will Program), but has NO MAKER save-for the outputs of a Decision-Making Module (in the Free Will Program), aka a GOVERNOR MODULE—uniquely identified by a GOVERNOR MODULE NUMBER, which (as discussed in Article 1) is the “mind” part of the proverbial “NUMBER OF A MAN” referred-to at Revelation 13:18— that functions to sort fact from fiction and to direct the physical force of the SouLL, controlling the acts of its PP inside of the universe, subject to the condition of Justice for all. We NOTE that the PP will have the same Snowman of God, aka “Snowman Number,” as the SouLL, and we RECALL that the Snowman Number is the “body” part of the NUMBER OF A MAN referred-to at Revelation 13:18 (as discussed in Article 1.) By the end of Article 7, we will be poised to enter the SybiLL SAPs into the Universal Demolition Derby and use our UNLICENSED DRIVING skills to cause collisions and form the “skeleton” of the first ATOM.

The Tax-Paying Turtle Particle Theory of Physics (TPTPTP) explains the Waking the Sleeping Giant Big Bang event, at which time the universe was created out of something BIGGER THAN THE UNIVERSE that went from one state (“particles in bed”) to another state (“particles out of bed”) because of a decision made by Father Time in the 6th-dimension to do some 3-d Mindful Stretching that tipped-over previously upside-down Timeynes, thereby causing the 4th-dimension Lumeyne particles in the same Snowmen of God to tip-over, too, so that instead of getting nowhere in “Backward gear,” the Lumeynes “woke-up” and began to move in “Forward gear” AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. According to the TPTPTP, particles are like turtles (it’s like they have a hard shell on the outside and a soft inside that moves the shell around), and all turtle-particles live in God’s Country, which is a totalitarian state with a 100% tax-rate. Every turtle-particle pays 100% tax in the form of wave-energy on two receivables: (i) the *internal* force of mass (Fmass) constantly expressed as Wave-Particle Duality (the tax paid is the wave-energy part of the expression of Wave-Particle Duality); and (ii) Moving Services, aka *external* physical forces, received from other turtle-particles (Moving Service Providers) that help a Moving Service Recipient turtle-particle “get into gear” and haul mass in the same direction as the NET FORCE that the Moving Service Recipient is experiencing (the tax paid is the equal-and-opposite force that is generated to satisfy Newton’s Third Law of Motion in reaction to receiving a Moving Service.)

Einstein’s Relativity—both Special Relativity and General Relativity—and the entirety of Quantum Physics are proven to be non-starting theories because following those theories makes motion impossible. In fact, there could never have been a valid theory of motion before, because in the 2,350+ years of studying the simple phenomenon called “inertia,” science has not ever explained how objects in motion can stay in motion without any external force acting-on them. According to the TOEWC, the particles in Snowmen of God have the *internal* experience of the force of mass (“Fmass”)—mass has no beginning because God is Eternal—and the *internal* experience of Fmass causes a particle to express WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY, which means thrusting mass out as wave-energy in one direction and thereby applying the physical force of the mass, aka Fmass, in the opposite direction along the same line, while simultaneously (in the same instant) experiencing an influx of new mass. But THERE IS NO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT A PARTICLE’S SPEED OR POSITION, because PARTICLES DO NOT TRAVEL LIKE WAVES, they travel like massive objects. The force of mass, Fmass—constantly expressed as Wave-Particle Duality—is what science has always been missing about motion. Wave-Particle Duality BUSTS ZENO’S INFINITE DIVISIBILITY PARADOX AND ALSO EXPLAINS INERTIAL MOTION by making particle motion PERPETUAL with no external force required, therefore eliminating the problem of determining how much DISTANCE to travel, because DISTANCE IS INFINITE when motion has no beginning or ending, and THERE IS TIME—passing at the speed of light and synchronizing motion—constantly and automatically “dividing” infinite distance into finite fixed-duration intervals. Wave-Particle Duality enabled the universe to be constructed by God via what I call the “Waking the Sleeping Giant Big Bang Theory,” by following what I call the “Tax-Paying Turtle Particle Theory of Physics” (“TPTPTP”); those two theories are introduced here in Article 4, and discussed in more detail in Article 6.

SPOILER ALERT: In reality, things can display TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF RELATIVITY: (1) a Mutually-Relative relationship; or (2) an Absolute-Relative relationship. Albert Einstein’s theories of Relativity ignore the Absolute-Relative relationship. We go back to the beginning and show our work, deducing that outside of the universe, each of the Eternal particles of God—a Lumeyne in the 4th dimension, a Gravityne in the 5th dimension, and a Timeyne in the 6th dimension—lives along an Absolute Direction Line (“ADL.”) The spherical particles, we also deduce, are lined-up one-on-top-of-the-other along their individual ADLs, looking like marshmallows on a stick—forming a marshmallow snowman, in my imagination—with each “Snowman of God” having a multi-dimensional “ADL Backbone.” Knowing that much, we can envision God looking like an enormous SPHERICAL ARRAY OF SNOWMEN OF GOD, with the ADL Backbone of each Snowman of God being RELATIVE-TO THE 6-d COM OF FATHER TIME (the Jesus/God the Father part of God.) An ADL—and therefore an entire multi-dimensional ADL Backbone—has two opposing directions at every location: (1) the Absolute Backward (GRAVITY) direction; and (2) the Absolute Forward (GRAVITY-OPPOSING) direction, which is relative-to the Absolute Backward (GRAVITY) direction. WE SHOW THAT THE ABSOLUTE BACKWARD (GRAVITY) DIRECTION ON EVERY ADL BACKBONE LEADS TO THE SAME POINT IN THE 6th DIMENSION—THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF GOD—AND WE THEREBY REFUTE ALBERT EINSTEIN’S CLAIM THAT ALL DIRECTION IS RELATIVE; IN REALITY, ALL DIRECTIONS ARE RELATIVE-TO THE ABSOLUTE BACKWARD (GRAVITY) DIRECTION! We also notice that there aren’t any Eternal particles living-along ADLs inside of the universe, and the center-of-mass (“COM”) of every thing in the universe can move in any direction on a spherical compass. Nevertheless, there must be a HIERARCHY OF RELATIVITY among the 3-d directions; we deduce this fact because we know that a higher-dimension and a lower-dimension are in an Absolute-Relative relationship, which means that the ADL Backbones of Snowmen of God and the 3-d directions are in an Absolute-Relative relationship, and therefore the 3-d directions are “riding” on top of the ADL Backbones (LIKE FLESH OVER BONE)! So the HIERARCHY OF RELATIVITY OF 3-d DIRECTIONS is simple: A 3-d Down direction must approximate the Absolute Backward (GRAVITY) direction on an ADL Backbone, while a 3-d Up direction must approximate the Absolute Forward (GRAVITY-OPPOSING) direction on an ADL Backbone, and the 3-d Up direction must be relative-to the 3-d Down direction, which informs us that the 3-d directions that are neither Up nor Down—the “3-d sideways directions,” we call them—must all be relative-to the 3-d Up direction. We confirm our conclusion by noticing that regardless of where you are, there’s only one way to go Down, meaning that if you kept going Down, you would always end up at the same point in the 6th dimension, whereas if you kept going Up or sideways, you would always end-up at different points in the 3rd dimension. So we could also call the 3-d sideways directions the “3-d Forward directions” (and in Article 1, we called them “3-d EXIT RAMP directions” in the context of “steering” a Soul particle off of the ADL Backbone to select among relatively-Evil mortal destinies.) Finally, we find some agreement with Albert Einstein, as we see that the 3-d sideways directions must all be relative-to each other! And in the end, we “see the light,” i.e., we see that light (electromagnetic wave-energy) and matter must have an Absolute-Relative relationship inside of the 3-d universe. The reason why is because God and the universe have an Absolute-Relative relationship (THE 4th DIMENSION IS POSITIONALLY-ABSOLUTE, AND THE 3rd DIMENSION IS POSITIONALLY-RELATIVE TO THE 4th DIMENSION), which means that the source of both matter and light in the 3rd dimension must be the Lumeynes in the 4th dimension. But we know that it’s impossible for the mass of an Eternal Lumeyne particle to abandon the 4th dimension, so we deduce that light is the only thing that actually “broke free” from God—no strings attached!—and therefore LIGHT MUST BE POSITIONALLY-ABSOLUTE AND MATTER MUST BE POSITIONALLY-RELATIVE TO LIGHT, and that explains why light can act-on matter but matter can’t act-on light, and that’s also why light’s speed is CONSTANT from matter’s POV. It’s important to belabor this point by considering Einstein’s famous “CHASING A LIGHT BEAM” thought-experiment. Einstein concluded that the reason why matter’s speed, no matter how fast, cannot appear to make an adjacent light beam “slow down” one iota is because TIME SLOWS DOWN AND OBJECTS SHRINK AS MATTER SPEEDS UP, so that from the POV of matter, light’s speed remains constant. That’s special; Special Relativity, that is. The real reason why matter’s speed, no matter how fast, cannot appear to make an adjacent light beam “slow down” one iota is because matter’s speed would not even exist without light, but light’s speed would exist in spite of matter’s entire non-existence, so therefore from matter’s POV, light’s speed “is what it is” (it’s a CONSTANT.) The Absolute-Relative relationship is what Einstein was missing.
