I have a very important qs to ask on relativity.
Picture this:
2 person "A" and "B" : A is stationary and B is moving in a rocket (lets assume a half transparent and half white painted "rocket") at the speed of light TOWARDS A.
But B is holding 2 touch light one shining straight at the transparent part towards A and the 2nd touch light at the white painted "wall" inside the rocket.
So my qs is from A point of view, does the light from B travel 2 times the speed of light towards A ?
If so, then from B point of view, when he shines the 2nd touch light on the white wall inside the rocket, it will appear at the 1 time speed of light.
Otherwise if the upper limit of speed is observe, then from A point of view, light from B touch light is only 1 times the speed of light.
Then from B point of view, shouldn't the light from B to the wall appear 0.5 the speed of light or it will be 1 times the speed of light?
Can anyone advise
Thanks a lot
