Submission + - Contest Speed Limit with Google Street View?

I knew for a fact that the speed limit was 55, so when I got home I went onto Google Street View and traveled along the highway to check out the speed limit. Sure enough, the speed limit was 55. I took a screenshot of the speed limit sign, along with the location that I was pulled over at (which oddly enough has a 'Speed Limit Ahead: 45' sign at). I'm thinking that this is enough for me to win a case. Would Slashdot agree?

The short answer is this:

No matter which direction we look into space, the expansion of the universe is always going to be the same. This sounds kind of obvious until you realize that 13.72 billion light years one way, and the same distance another way are incommunicable, and they've been incommunicable ever since the universe was created - light cannot travel from one point of our obvservable universe to another because it would then have to travel at twice the speed of c. Because these incommunicable points in space are the same in an infinite series of characteristics, then it's fair to assume that these physics are NOT local.
