I know I'm at a huge disadvantage here because I don't understand the math that explains all this. But what I gather is because of the Lorentz transformation or "time dilation" two objects in relation to each other can never be moving faster than c from their perspective, and this has all been...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm doing my best to understand a subject that I have zero formal education in. Ill do more research and see if I can come to understand this different kind of velocity addition. But what might help is one more explanation. When Einstein says matter can not move...

At the risk of sounding stupid, this question has always perplexed me. Einstein theorized that mass can not travel faster than the speed of light. I don't really understand it, I assume it has something to do with mass just being energy. Anyway imagine two objects in orbit of something with...
