Moving (relatively) faster = advancing (relatively) farther in the same
unit of time (i.e. advancing farther while the light advances a certain
constant amount of space units).

But concept-mass *is* eliminable in terms of spatiality (as is e.g.
charge, and indeed, as is every single concept in physics, i.e. all of
science).

Hey! Can American cars travel as fast as light? I believe that.
