    Question about light speed (is velocity cumulative?)

    If I ever have time, I will try to model all that. I don't suppose anyone's made it into a visual format that can be played with?

    Question about light speed (is velocity cumulative?)

    Still going to need some help with this. If there was another ship matching speed and trajectory, who was at the moon at the time the laser was fired, how could the laser directed at the moon travel at .9C, while another laser directed at the other ship travel at C? It shouldn't make a...

    Question about light speed (is velocity cumulative?)

    How is this reconciled with observations from within the moving ship? Wouldn't they find the recorded time of impact to indicate that light had traveled more slowly than expected?

    Question about light speed (is velocity cumulative?)

    If a spaceship were to fly at 1/10 the speed of light and project a laser onto a distant moon, would the light cast from the ship reach the moon at 1.1 times the speed of light, relative to a stationary mounted laser fired at the same time/distance?
