Do not mention the word 'relative' ever again in that context or I will
hurt you slowly. :) I say this only because the idea of electric fields
conducting through the aether is older than einstein -- hell, that coward
didn't even have the courage to admit he was wrong -- instead of finally
admitting that the aether exists, he quietly changed his semantics and
began preaching of "spacetime" and "relativity". I'm just ranting again,
dont mind me.
