Hey all,
This is embarrassing but I have to know.

I thought it was just a brand name :o

[ricktas]

Eos was also a greek goddess, the goddess of dawn. Canon also (apparently) chose EOS for its double meaning, that above, and the goddess. Being dawn, start of a new day (era), light from the dark, etc

[I @ M]

Canon also (apparently) chose EOS for its double meaning,

But ended up with a triple meaning ---- Errors Often Surprise ----- :aaa:

If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
Geoff P

Yes but they would shine in your rear vision mirror. :lol:

If your car did travel at the speed of light I doubt you would care because your brain would be mushed into the side of the mountain 0.0000002 seconds after pressing the accelerator.

If your car did travel at the speed of light I doubt you would care because your brain would be mushed into the side of the mountain 0.0000002 seconds after pressing the accelerator.

That actually would depend on how much acceleration you had to get you to the speed of light.
If you were in a car travelling at the SOL, the light from your headlights would also be going at the speed of light relative to your speed.

[Geoff Port]

Now Warus, no-one in their right mind would accelerate to the sped of light while pointing at a mountain. Goodness you'd only try this on an uphill section of a freeway. :lol::lol:
