    Undergrad Atomic clocks and the speed of light

    Is the accuracy of atomic clocks in any way dependent on the speed of light? For example, if the speed of light were to speed up slightly, would that somehow speed up the frequency of oscillations of caesium used in an atomic clock? ...or would those 9 billion (or so) oscillations occur at...

    Graduate If I was traveling at 51% the speed of light

    At what velocity would the two ships collide?

    Graduate If I was traveling at 51% the speed of light

    So what would the speed of the spaceship APPEAR to be to an observer in the other spaceship?

    Graduate If I was traveling at 51% the speed of light

    and you flew in a spaceship going the opposite direction, also at 51% the speed of light... Would each of us be breaking the light barrier, relative to the other? If not, why not?
