2. Two photons (or any other like particle, I just use photons for simplicty) are created in a start at the same exact instant going opposite directions. If two photons leave the star (for our purposes, the star is kinda small, size of Jupiter) in opposite directions, are they both not traveling in excess of the speed of light with relation to each other. The question can be asked with two companion stars and crossing particles as well.
Is anyone going to comment on what good knowing the fraction of a second after the big bang is supposed to bring to humanity? It's a serious question, and nobody has responded.

The fact itself, probably nothing. It's just to cure human's natural curiosity. The main thing about these researches is that there's often spin offs, data that we didn't know before, which brings you to new ideas. They call this fundamental science, no direct practical application, but they'll usually become clear with the data. I this case, I suppose they'll learn a lot about energy, as at the big bang, a lot of energy was converted to mass.
West Europe, 1 PM - Update
No light beams spotted at 9.30, Alps are still in place.
Warning - Traffic in Milano worse than usual, and this is a well known near impossibility.
Investigation is ongoing to determine if this is the black hole first ignition, perhaps the beginning of the ultra-density mass generated by abnormal concentration of vehicles.
Local population attempting to neutralize the phenomenon by repeated use of swearwords.
A little question on the gravity thing:
If a photon can also act as a wave, how does gravity affect it when it is acting as a wave

Those damn Swiss! always blowing stuff up!
Actually, there are huge ramifications for humanity. Finding the God Particle will also give clues to:
-Missing socks, why are there is always one missing? They are in the black hole created by the God Particle.
-Extra keys on the key chain, what are they there for? God Particle put them there.
-Telemarketers- Not really people on the other end of the line, but random interactions with the phone system by the God Particle.
-Beer Goggles- Interactions with the God Particle and your retina. Fat chicks are still fat.
-Traffic Jams (especially the ones in Milan)- God Particle sucking up space on the road system.
-Crazy Glue- What makes it stick? God Particle.
The ramifications of finding the God Particle are endless.
Well, we're all still here. For a bit longer anyway.............

My question about the two protons could be looked at as the two of them passing each other (strangers in the night...sorry, it popped into my head). Combine the relative speeds and aren't both of them moving in excess of the speed of light in relation to each other?
Hmm... hadn't thought of that. If you count them moving away from each other from a base point. But are we talking about there absolute velocity or there total displacement?
