::''Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake. Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them. If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success. '' (Ecclesiastes 10:8-10)

::'' If you don't believe me, then plug in a velocity ''v'' greater than ''c'' and watch what happens to the above equation.'' But, as you said, in the formula for time dilation, ''c'' represents the speed of light. Plug in a velocity greater than 300,000 km/sec for ''c'' and see what happens! Nothing much....

::I said above: Your formulation: the ''speed of light can never be increased'' doesn't prevent that a static observer '''A''' and a moving observer '''B''' measure different quantities for the speed of light. It only implicates that these measurements doesn't differ from their own earlier - or later - done measurements.
