Yet Waters' question has a curious implication. The changes produced
by the collision of photons (travelling at c relative to some inertial
system) with anything travelling in the opposite direction at v
(relative to the same inertial system, that is, in this system the
relative speed is measured to be c+v) should be independent of the
speed v of the "anything". Simply because, according to Divine
Albert's Divine Special Relativity, the "anything" should always see
the photons approaching it at c.
