Some of you will know this, others might not. But did you know that no matter how fast you're traveling, even if it's close to the speed of light, light will still travel away from/towards you at 670,000,000mph. That means if you pointed your laser out of the window, it would show no distortion what so ever. I find this pretty facinating, it's one of the reasons Albert Einstein is such an inspiration to me, as for a man in the early 1900's to be able to picture and understand these concepts is beyond admirable. I found these two videos interesting, the second more so than the first.

I never previously knew light worked this way, and thought others may find it interesting to know...
