First I would just like to ask if it is true that in a cathode ray, electrons travel almost at the speed of light, ...?

I do not think the original poster was trying to be arrogant. They were just asking a question. You are the only person I see as being arrogant. If you have something of value to add then please enlighten everyone, however if rude and cynical remarks are all you have to offer someone who seeks answers then we are all better served by no reply from you.
Nope. And I suggest you stop trying to prove relativity wrong if you're just a science amateur, it is incredibly arrogant of you to think you'll just spot some error in it tens of thousands of professional scientists and even more students and amateurs will have missed.

I never meant to sound so arrogant with my posts. I just thought of a few things and I wanted to inquire about them. I know my ' E = mc2 malfunction ' post started by saying Einstein was wrong and stuff, and that sounded rude and arrogant to you, and for that I am sorry. I never expected everyone to take my post so seriously, and start judging my character and thinking bad of me.

Dont worry about it.
It's becoming the norm for ATS.
Rather than take you through what you had wrong (which I’m glad to say actually happen in the other thread) they'll jump all over you calling you names and accusing you of things (sadly this also happened in the other thread).
Dont take it personally, just be aware that some people take great delight in belittling other people they see as inferior.
