But a torch pointing BACKWARDS... you're travelling away from THAT at 199.999999 % the speed of light...
Late to the party ...
... I thought no. The light is travelling away from you, relative to you, at the speed of light.
It's not Newtonian physics where you add one to the other. The speed of light is absolute.
I thought.

I think this is right. If you are on earth, you see Kruse in a spaceship going away at 99.9999% and the light coming towards you at 100%. I think (fingers crossed) you'd see some serious blueshift - maybe to make shit balance.
Kruse sees light going away in front and behind at 100%. I think.
Also I think you've confused me
Pretty sure blueshift is due to the apparent shortening of wavelengths as the speed of light stays the same.

Okay... this:
... flying first west and then east around the globe before returning to their laboratory in Washington DC. There, they compared the time on their well-travelled timepieces to a set of clocks that had remained static. Remarkably, the clocks disagreed: the act of travel had seemingly altered the passage of time.
... disproves my understanding of the whole concept of "relativity"
But also - in my mind - makes the whole term "relativity" a fucking nonsense.
And... in the time-honoured fashion of imbeciles everywhere... I don't understand it, therefore... I don't like it.
Fuck you Relativity - I liked you when you made sense... but now you've turned crazy - fuck off-ski. -
11.8 million CHF for clinical trials of novel arthritis repair
Swiss government and European Union award 11.8 million CHF for next generation clinical trials of novel arthritis repair. The researchers at the Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel and University Hospital Basel, are actively recruiting for clinical trials.

@antipodean I think that's describing how I'm not actually Sagittarius?

Bloody Cantabs fucking up cosmology.
An article translating:
Cosmological Evidence Emerges That Dark Energy Is An Illusion
Cosmologists have long wondered whether dark energy and the accelerating expansion of the universe is an illusion. Now the evidence backing this idea is mounting.

Yeah it's a good YouTube channel. I think I prefer that is to 'oh yeah, our numbers don't work, so two thirds of the universe is made up of stuff we can't see or detect, that's why our numbers are wrong'
I do like the idea that you can get a Nobel prize for just making shit up though. Hope for me yet.
