Creation Relativity I thought Creation biology was bad enough, but now we have to listen to Special Relativity by fundamentalists without diagrams, thought experiments, graphs, colored charts, and equations? Pfaw!

Time slows down - and that's the key to undoing the "direction of light" paradox. Seen from the ship (traveling at say a tau value of a few thousand) - light travels straight and normal. Seen from outside the ship - light is straight - but is dimmed to radio everywhere except within a few arc minutes iof the ship's path - where it is juiced into the x-ray region. And on the ship - the universe collapses into a blazing bright x-ray point directly in front. Relativity cannot be visualized by throwing a ball out of a window. No curves. No blown smoke. Just these cool, counterintuitive frequency/intensity shenanigans.
