      I really appreciate your explanation there, Phil.
      It may take me a little bit of reading to figure it all out in my head.
      I still don't understand why two objects moving at the same speed, in the same direction, are not motionless to one another.
      I also do not understand why the speed of light is not relative, especially when you consider the fact that it actually slows down and stops when it enters a black hole.
