And it doesn't. What the cranks in Relaviity still can't seem to accept, even after 60 years of developing A.I, computers, lasers, masers robots, DNA-RNA, nuclear snythesis and Satellites for the idiots, is that Einstein nased his theory of light on Euclid's Theory Of Light, not on observations of light, mattter, history, or logic.
