Ah yes, correct mathematics would solve my problem. Thank you for pointing out my mistake and for the help.

Ok, but let's then look at what happens when the rocket gets really really really really close to c...to do this we take a limit as vrel → 1. Then if you follow through the steps of my post, I eventually get an answer of ∞. So even if we remove the impossibility, my logic still has a flaw...

So I just finished learning about the derivation of the addition of velocities...this should imply that I am a newcomer to relativity. So here's my question: We have a rocket that is traveling away from a lab at the relative velocity of c. (I know this is impossible because it would take...
