    I Understanding the Relative Velocity Paradox

    Thanks for the responses again! I see, so it's only adding in a loose sense - it's really processing it through a unique formula, with "addition" being the intuitive interpretation rather than the mathematic. It seems like I'm misunderstanding something about absolute zero too - could you...

    I Understanding the Relative Velocity Paradox

    Thanks for the fast response! I'll try to answer you in order, hopefully you can clarify :) 1. Okay, that makes sense. Glad I'm on the right track! 2. 1m/s + 1m/s = 1.999...8m/s. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about the case at hand, but I think the arithmeric explains my...

    I Understanding the Relative Velocity Paradox

    Hi! I'm an utter novice at physics, so please bear with me if I ask a foolish question. I just learned that velocities don't purely add: 2m/s + 2m/s does not equal 4m/s, but something like 3.9999999...9 m/s, and so on. Something to do with the upper limit of c. Logic makes me assume that this...
