     I've seen this kind of problem before.  It stems, in part, from the
problem of mounting a machine gun on a jet that flies faster than the muzzle
velocity of the gun.
     The simplest way to explain this is that the speed of light (C) is an
absolute constant that is relative to the universe itself and not conditioned
by the contents of the universe.  The universe has rules, and you can't break
the rules by going faster.
