Distance & Time Light Travels in Approaching Mirrors Problem

[stevmg]

Gentlemen:

It seems like we are stating here that if the hound runs to the East at 1/2 the speed of light and the rabbit who is in front runs to the East at 1/2 the speed of light, that hound ain't ever going to catch that rabbit!

One does not have to be a damn rocket scientist to figure that one out!

But it's nice to have a precise quantitative answer as to just how badly that hound misses out.

Ha! Ha!

I just my two cents in because I started this thread!

But, yossell, don't forget the old adage, "Missing by an inch is as good as a mile, except in horseshoes." So that hare still gets away!

I strenuously take exception to this proposition. Clearly this adage applies equally to handgrenades ,no?

Good on all of you!
