First off lets watch a movie,
find
Richard_Wolfson_-_01_Time_Travel,_Tunneling,_Tennis_And_Tea.[sharethefiles.com]
and watch that for a very good overview of modern physics in 30 mins
another good Movie to watch would be Einstein and Eddington, especially if you are
There is much learned in the last 100 years.
One of the things people ued to believe in an Ether, it was what the world was spinning in and was the
Anyway two men, Michelson and Morley went off to carry out experiment on this ether,
and because it wasn't there, it is perhaps considered the failed experiment.
heres a demo of the experiment quite clever really

Uncertainty
position and time
imagine we went on a seek and destroy mission with other life forms,
as soon as we saw them we shot a killer laser pulse to obliterate all intelligent life there
If we just saw the planet and shot at it would we hit it
there is a minimum time for which we must watch the planet to determine its position but more importantly be able to predict its location at various times in the future.
