but she is still a daughter, right?

all women are daughters of someone...

Not Rei! Shes a daughter of noone! ^^

for what counts, the answer is:

"A grandma"
"A mother"
"A daughter"

Grandma is daughter while her own mother is alive, but she leaves the "daughter" state when her mother dies. So, for this example, let's asume that "Grandmother"'s mom is dead. and that is it.

Most of us sure haven't known her own grand-grandmothers... (though i did!)

So I got it right?

Here's a question:

If I was in a train whose speed is approximately 200000 Km/s; I run inside a wagon towards the head of the train at 200000 Km/s; and you are in a train station (where train doesn't stop) and you can see me running through the train windows for a fraction of time; at which speed am I running relatively to you, who are sit in a bench in the station?

I remind that I also have a Xenogears question running: What's the name of the place known as "The end of the world"?

you are moving at 200000 KM/S inside a train which is moving at 200000 KM/S. If we sum both speeds, it gives 400000 km/s, but that is impossible. because it is over the 300000 km/s light speed limit. so, it is simple.

We cannot see you! because you move faster than light ^^ (In other words, i have no idea!)

Even if your parents have died I still consider you a daugher/son of someone!

Just because my all my grandparents have died doesnt mean they never existed!

Regarding my question:

The thing is that you'd see me at 300000 Km/s anyways, even if the train goes at 200000 Km/s and I'm running inside the train at 200000 Km/s. You'd see space deform to accomodate this, as weird as it sounds.

And if you were in the train with me, you'd see yourself going at 200000 Km/s relative to the land outside the train, and me running at 200000 Km/s relative to you. However, you'd see me running at only 300000 Km/s relative to the outside.

Weird, huh? Don't worry, these things cannot actually happen. There's no way we're going to reach speeds close to half of the light speed, so you can happily add speeds and use the standard Galilean relativity. (Just have in mind that 50 Km/h + 50 Km/h is not 100 Km/h, but something like 99.99999999 Km/h [img]smile.gif[/img] .)

I have another question:

Is time-travelling possible?
