well they say if i could travel half the speed of light let's say...light would still be going by me at the speed of light in the same direction. Ignoring that fact that i can't travel half the speed of light, why would light still go by me at it's normal speed?
Hi I am new to understanding the theory of relativity so please excuse me. I can make sense of most of it. The one thing I am having a hard time grasping is:
