Light Quote by Dr. Thomas Stark

“The Lorentz transformations, with their absolute condition c (the speed of light, with light being massless, maximally length-contracted and time-dilated) show that the “physical” universe of matter, space and time actually exists within an Absolute Singularity of light.” quote by Dr. Thomas Stark
