- Is it possible to make a clock whose speed of running is independent of the
- speed of light? I mean, if the speed of light was doubled, would all our clocks
- run twice as fast so we wouldn't actually notice? (In the equation E = mcc,
- which would be conserved, energy or mass?).

- But then as we all know, the speed of light is related to the clock speed
- of the universal computer. :-)
