Comment Consolidation... (Score 1) 140

All these companies are dipping their toes into the streaming waters... even though it seems as if they are cannon-balling into the water. They have no idea if they will succeed and even less idea if the market can sustain all of them. Ultimately the consumer will vote with his pocketbook and I have a feeling that some of these companies are not going to be able to stay afloat themselves and in order to continue they will end up consolidating with other streaming services or even end up merging with a Netflix or an Amazon streaming service. They are forcing an expansion which will lead to a contraction before all is settled.

Keep in mind, the speed of light is not really constant. The speed of light is constant for a stationary body, i.e. the speed of light will always appear to be 186,292 miles per second to the casual observer. Time is the stray factor here. The faster one's velocity, the more time slows down. This means 186,292 miles / 1 second becomes 186,292 miles /.999999.... second and the greater the velocity the closer that .999999.... gets to zero. This is why a ship traveling at what appears to be the speed of light for it, can travel for one year, yet when it returns to where it started, a much greater amount of time has passed.
