The Spaceship and RC Diagrams and Movies
The Spaceship Diagrams reveal the fact that the speed of light is an
approach-departure speed and therefore Lightrays A and B will go past
Spaceship's center-of-mass at c/186,000 mps only when Spacesip is not
moving, e.g., Spaceship is at AS (absolute speed) and AV (absolute
velocity) = 0 mps at AR (absolute rest) in the ARRF (absolute rest
reference frame—Spaceship 1 Diagram and Spaceship 1 DV), will go past
Spaceship's center-of-mass at c < 186,000 mps when Spaceship is
moving at parallel to and in the same direction of motion as Lightrays
A and B and with velocity v relative to the Spacepoints at which
Lightrays A and B were emitted (Spaceship 2 Diagram and Spaceship 2
DV), and will go past Spaceship's center-of-mass at c > 186,000 mps
when Spaceship is moving at v parallel to but opposite the direction of
motion of Lighgtrays A and B.
NOTE: The DVs were created using Apple's iMovie program. They have been
verified to open with Quicktime™ and Real Player™. When clicked, they
will attempt to download to your computer. You will be asked which
application you prefer to use to open and view the DVs.

The RC DVs (movies) show howitiz that the speed of light inside a
reference
frame such as Spaceship is measured incorrrectly when distorted rulers
and clocks are used.
The RC Diagrams represent combinations of 2 Rulers and 2 Clocks, e.g.,
Ruler 1 which is an adjustable ruler/AR and Ruler 2 which is a
non-adjustable ruler/NAR whose length will vary (shorten)
inversely with accelerations and Clock 1 which is an adjustable
clock/AC whose rate of ticking and timecount will not vary inversely
with accelerations and Clock 2 which is a non-adjustable clock/NAC
whose rate of ticking will vary (decrease/slow down) inversely with
accelerations.
