[SOLVED] light and time
ok from what i understand if im traveling just under the speed of light and looking foward the the light is aproching me at 186000 mps... theres 2 unites of measure here distance and time.. from what i know my time slows.. so the light seems to be reaching me at the speed of light instead of allmost double the speed of light... heres where my thought experiments come in.. if i turn around and look back in the direction im coming from and time for me is still slow it should seem that light would be reaching me at 1/4 the speed of light. i know this not to be true... but it seems that if im looking behind me at close to the speed of light my time would have to speed up to compensate and make me and any insterments percieve that the speed of light is still 186000miles per second
