If you’re in the Millennium Falcon traveling at the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the lights?
If you're Superman and flying along at the speed of light then hold a mirror in front of you, what do you see in the mirror?
If you're in a self contained box moving at the speed of light, what will you see in the mirror?
If a train moves at the speed of light with a light source in the middle of a carriage which has light activated doors at the front and back and you switch the light on what happens to the doors?
I think the answers are all relative
And sometimes it's just Why can't I get to sleep?
But why, when you’ve just bought a new car, do you see thousands on the road but before you bought it you didn’t see any..
Confirmation bias innit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
Not so much confirmation bias, but frequency illusion, otherwise known as the Baader-Meinhof Effect
Why did Bungle jump about in the nude during the day but put pyjamas on to go to bed?
When I'm reading a book I often come across a relatively obscure word and at the same instant I'm reading the word someone on the radio will say that same word. This happens to me quite frequently.
When an alarm goes off does it go on? What happens when you turn it off? Does it stop it going off?
If I get an odd-job man in and give him my list of eight things to do will he only do numbers 1, 3, 5 & 7?
Why do farmers always stick their gates in the muddiest bit of the field?
Boris Johnson? Really?
Why isn’t inflammable the opposite of flammable? And how many accidental fires has that caused?
Because in this case, in- isn't a negation, it's an intensifier. Wood is flammable, petrol is inflammable.
All inflammable things are flammable but not all flammable things are inflammable.
The opposite of flammable is non-flammable.
I'm an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac.
I lye awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog.
if a woodchuck could chuck wood, would a woodchuck chuck wood? and if a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
If I keep playing with it, will it fall off like my Mam said?
Following on from the Millennium Falcon light speed conundrum, what is the reference frame for light speed?
I mean, if the whole universe is constantly expanding, everything is already moving pretty quickly, so you can't just assume that where you are is static. Do you have to measure light speed against the estimated origin of everything? If so, where is that?
If you’re in the Millennium Falcon traveling at the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the lights?
This is exactly the kind of thing Einstein wondered about whilst being bored as a patent clerk. Except he went on to actually work out what things really would look like and in the process discovered why you can't travel at the speed of light. This created a whole new branch of physics. Not satisfied with that, he created a few more just to show off.
Do you have to measure light speed against the estimated origin of everything?
No. Think dots on a balloon.

I've just checked my synonympedia and , apparently, there isn't one.
Why is my Face ID protected Apple pay limited to £30 when my less secure PIN enabled debit card can be used to pay thousands of pounds.
Should the Vatican City make a change so that visitors can no longer make payments in cash, cheque, credit, charge or debit card and rely on Papal only (Papal Gift obs...)
If I saw a robbery take place at the local Apple store would that make me an iWitness?
Why do panthers perch?
Why are eggs (generally) sold in multiples of six.
Why my friend keeps saying "Cheer up man it could be worse, you could be stuck underground in a hole full of water."
I know he means well.
Why do panthers perch?
Because we can.
Why when my wife asked me for something black and lacy for her birthday she didn't appreciate the pair of football boots I got her.
Impossible to go down in the box after that.
If TJ had a grime crew would they be Mandem Jeremy?
Because in this case, in- isn’t a negation, it’s an intensifier. Wood is flammable, petrol is inflammable.
So is an intensifier much stronger than a tensifier? And is that twice as much as a fiveifier?
So mirrors reverse things! I sit in the car, look in the mirror and the driver in the car behind is the same side as me but his numberplate is reversed yet the driver in front is also the same side but his numberplate reads right.
And when I lay down in front of a mirror my feet don't face my head...
Why do people with big 4x4's still slow down for speed bumps?

Adam Rainer again.
He was 3’ 8” when he was 19 and classified as a dwarf.
Then when he was 33 he was 7’ 2” and classified as a giant.

If a dumb boy uses bad language, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
Why is my Face ID protected Apple pay limited to £30 when my less secure PIN enabled debit card can be used to pay thousands of pounds.
Because the shop in question hasn't unlocked the limit like others do.
Why has dinner time moved on the clock, it used to be between 12 and 1 still is for me and teatime is between 5 and 6. Have all the school dinner ladies been sacked
Why are eggs (generally) sold in multiples of six.
Moreover, why are hot dog buns sold in packs of six and hot dog wieners sold in packs of 8?

Dinner time is 7.30 for 8. Teatime is 4 pm. I take it you mean lunch?

Wi-Fi was invented in 1983 by a Swiss engineer named Wilfred Figgis. His mates called him Gustav.
It's named after him.
What’s going on with Flop and the other puppet/sack animals in Bing? Are they adults, care givers? I need to know WTF they are and how they’ve managed to not murder Bing.
I know that one:
Something to do with English Units and Anglo-Saxon Units for currency..
IIRC 1 Egg was equal to X pence and a Unit was. Dozen ..
And so on..
Ohh.. I’m almost right:
Under a system that came to be known as English units, which was a combination of old Anglo-Saxon and Roman systems of measurement, eggs were sold by the dozen. It made sense to sell them that way because one egg could be sold for a penny or 12 for a shilling, which was equal to 12 pennies. That system held sway in the American colonies and persisted after the revolution, becoming part of the system known as U.S. customary units. Such units are used for consumer products and in industrial manufacturing.
