My brother-in-law proposed the following thought experiment: Suppose a person was sitting on the nose of a spaceship traveling at the speed of light through outer space. Now suppose that person pushed off against the spaceship launching himself ahead of it. Is it the case that that person will maintain his speed at the speed of light, since both the spaceship and the person is traveling through a vacuum and neither experience wind resistance? Also, is it true that the person will forever drift in space since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light?
