I am firewalled right now, but I hear that there are some videos of the plane on a conveyor belt on youtube, and like I said mythbusters is suppose to be doing an episode about it.

So, now the question is if an object HAD a reflective index of 0 and you DID look at it....what would you see in place of the object?
It would not be invisible. It would be black. Reflected light reaching our eyes does not determine visibility/invisibility. It determines color and intensity. Reflectivity of zero would mean an intensity of zero. For something to be invisible, visible light would have to pass through it. For example, air is pretty close to invisible, but do you consider the air to be black?

How in the heck did we get here?
think of it this way.
take a small model plane and go on down to the gym of your choice.
go to the treadmill and turn it on as fast as it will go.

now, sit next to the tread mill and see if you can with your hand, put the wheels of that model plane on the tread and push the plane in the opposite direction that the treadmill is running.

when you discover that you can, imagine your hand is the engines on a plane and that the actual speed of the plane is relative to the earth, and not the treadmill underneath it.

That's easy - have them throw it out of the plane, count to twenty then have them jump for it!

Come on people its 0530, somebody has to have an equation to show how this would happen.
But How Much does Light Weight / or what is the Mass of Light ?
