A Simple and Possibly New Way to Deduce Special Relativity

Imagine an object some distance in front of you moving toward you also imagine a second object moving in a line perpendicular to the line of motion of the first with the two on a collision course with that point of collision some distance in front of you. If we assume that the motion of light obeys Galilean Relativity then what we will observe of the collision is the first object being deflected with the second object still some distance away from the first. This seems to me to be an uncomfortable situation as I prefer to believe that cause and effect should always be observed. Thus we may consider to assume a principle of "conservation of the observation of causality" and thus insist that the light from the two objects at the moment of collision reach our eyes at the same time which requires that the speed of light be constant. | v o obj 0    ---     .     . y     . .     .    d t=0 .     . ob

A Possibly Simple or Perhaps Simplistic Manner in Which to Deduce Black Holes Radiate

A black hole is of course a region of space which we are unable to observe within. Perhaps this inability is precisely what permits energy and matter to emanate from it. Presumably causality can not be violated if we can not observe it being violated which of course within a black hole we can not. Therefore radiation observed from the surface of a black hole presumably the result of internal causality which we of course can not observe can not be forbidden which presumably means that it must exist. - Just a paltry thought

How to Save on College Tuition (and get a superior education in the offing)

As you know college is clearly not affordable and has now become almost exorbitant. Students have now incurred an amount of debt estimated at a staggering $1.2 trillion dollars which is of course a serious problem to be solved. I am merely a private citizen but I believe there is a simple and even obvious solution which I have not seen or heard discussed prior which I believe can help prevent future students from suffering in this manner. Simply stated it is "Do It Yourself" and "Read to Succeed". Whatever information a so-called "teacher" imparts via an oral lecture is readily found in and can be obtained from textbooks written by experts in their respective fields. Are we to spend the rest of our lives always relying on "teachers" who do nothing more than present to us what is already on the written page whenever we wish to learn something that makes no sense. We all know how to read. So to save the enormous and unnecessary cost of tuition
