Who is Michelle Obama's relative and what does Einstein have to do with it?

light doesn’t rest and momentum requires mass as part of the equation.

p = m • v

momentum = mass x velocity

Since the star is at a right angle to our line of sight, its speed is irrelevant..................

I’m kind of hazy since I never claimed to understand relativity theory particularly well even as a college student.

But to the extent I recall at all, light photons have a zero rest mass but since they travel at the speed of light (well, they would) they aren’t at rest and they do have mass on that account.

. . . and if that doesn’t confuse you, you just don’t understand the situation!

Another test of Einstein’s theory
(it passed again)...

All our dimension's gravity appears to be staying right where it belongs, as Albert Einstein predicted in his theory of general relativity.

All you gravity are belong to us!.................

Yes indeed. It appears gravity isn’t “escaping” into higher dimensions. But I’d like to ...

That's because there are no 'other dimensions'..................
