Ah yes, but Jose was talking about speed not acceleration. After all irrispective of the paintballs acceleration, the chronograph would be observed as moving at C.

Lol, well maybe not, I often find physicistys a bit wierd (don't get me wrong; some of my best friends are physicists, but then again I have some pretty wierd friends...)
Maybe I'm way off, but AFAIK the tachion is analagous to the phonon, it is a theoretical partical allowing physics to be expressed in terms of quantum mechanics, which equates almost anything with a partical, because it make the maths a whole bunch easier. Can you see one of those?
Of course if he was a cosmologist, he might be more likely to be looking for proof that the universe was at critical density, which might make him/her a physicist who might know about chronographs and dopler etc.
What was the point of all this again? Other than the fact that I have a break in my labs while my Product seperates form the resin...
Richard, always ready to jump into the intilectual deep end, as long as he has remembered his rubber ring
